The vegan selection is amazing and I love their drinkable chocolate. The last visit one of our boxes of bonbons tasted stale 🥲

Hands-down, one of my favorite chocolate shops. Amazing variety that are made in store. The flavors are out of this world. Tamron mango, milk chocolate, praline, pecan bars, and Rocky Road dark chocolate bar are my favorite.

Great local chocolate store. Friendly staff. Chocolates were tasty, but felt a little overpriced.

I am beyond happy to see The Xocolate Bar open on this side of Rockridge. In an instant, I felt transported back to my beautiful Paris with its quintessential shops and displays. The chocolates are beautifully presented, and the staff is just as sweet as its shop. This charming chocolate haven is a delightful addition to the neighborhood, and I can't wait to savor more of its delectable treats!

While I have never actually been to the shop my boyfriend has been bringing me chocolates from here for several years. I love them so much that I thought it was time share my love & help you make the choice to go! The Buddha's are by far my favorite! (Just shared with my sister & said you can have any one but a Buddha) Just go, try, enjoy & share. You can never go wrong with these chocolates!

I sent my long distance partner to pick up a web order here as a surprise for Valentine's Day and to my delight they had put it in a gift bag with tissue paper unprompted (I told them in the notes that he would be picking it up but didn't ask them to hide it)! That was super thoughtful, and my partner loved the chocolates. I got him the all dark bonbons and he thought they were very rich and delicious, with creative flavors.

Worked with the owner's dad YEARS ago when the store first opened. He told us all about the store and it sounded amazing... So amazing that it stayed in the back of my mind for nearly 2 decades. So when I found myself in Berkeley for the first time, I just HAD to go.

And you know what? It was even better than anticipated and totally worth the wait! The 'arroz con leche' bar is probably the best sweet I've ever had! Do yourself a favor... stop by and pick one (some!) up for yourself.

This place can be described as chocolate heaven! We recently had two weddings with a month between the weddings. We ordered 250 truffles shaped like butterflies , three different flavors and each flavored truffles were dusted with shimmering colors. They packaged each flavored truffles in very secure boxes because i needed to fly them to another state for the wedding.needless to say they were a big hit! The butterfly truffles matched an outdoor park wedding.

A month later i needed to order bars of omg bar for another wedding. I ordered them a month before i needed them but they were done a week before the date i needed, which was super. Everyone loved them and i overheard people saying they needed to ration each bite.

What is so cool about this shop is the variety of handmade truffles. They are so beautiful as well as the the variety of flavors. They also carry chocolates from local artisans. I love the variety of the Italian chocolates they sell. They also make creative chocolates for holidays. On Halloween they had an edible chocolate frame with a silly ghost painted onto the chocolate frame.
This is just a fun place with beautiful hand made chocolates.
