Dandelion Chocolate
Since 2012, this all-encompassing chocolate “factory” in Mission District has gradually become a place for discerning sweet eaters to find the most special flavor chocolate. Todd Masanois and Cameron Ring, two Stanford high tech bulls, were founded. They first established the web address book Plaxo with Sean Parker, and then sold it to Comcast for $ 1.5 million. From then on, they started making what they really loved-chocolate! Dandelion is known for its particularly silky and unique flavors-so if you are looking for something weird or very sweet, don't come here. Notice: The chocolate here is not cheap. It costs 8-12 knives for one piece, and 3 knives for 20 boxes. Therefore, their chocolate may not be suitable for one piece a day, but it is definitely a rare gift. There are three things you must do at Dandelion: watch chocolate, eat chocolate, and learn chocolate. Here, foodies can visit the chocolate factory for free, meet face-to-face with dessert makers, and take part in weekend chocolate making courses.

Ghirardelli Chocolate Company
You may have eaten their square chocolate bars long ago, but I still have to mention that this company still represents the world's finest chocolate making process. Ghirardelli's chocolate also brings the most delicious history lessons. Originated in San Francisco in 1852 and named after Italian chocolate dessert maker Domenico Ghirardelli, it is one of the few chocolate companies that still pays great attention to craftsmanship and selection of materials today. It rejects about 40% of cocoa beans every year to maintain super high quality products. Once controlled by Rice-A-Roni's parent company, Lilly acquired Ghirardelli in 1998. When you come to Sanfan, you must go to Ghirardelli Square and experience the feeling of being surrounded by chocolate ~
