Chocolate Factory for Chocolate Fiends

Dandelion Chocolate appeals to chocolate lovers everywhere. The bean-to-bar chocolate factory produce single-origin chocolate bars daily as well as amazing desserts and drinks.

Go for the Samples. Stay for the Dessert and Drinks

As soon as you enter the doors of Dandelion Chocolate, you will likely be greeted by a line of eager customers. This is actually one of the best lines you will encounter because as you slowly make your way to the cash register, you get to sample all the single origin chocolate bars produced by the factory. There are even tasting notes to help you identify flavors.

Once you reach the front of the line order your dessert and drinks. While waiting you can walk the chocolate team in action as they produce the chocolate in the facility every day from 10am to 5pm.

 

Dandelion Chocolate Drinks

Choose from hot chocolate drinks, cold chocolate drinks, or mochas. Hot chocolates include the House Hot Chocolate which is the classic, light hot chocolate, the Mission Hot Chocolate which is a Mexican-inspired spiced hot chocolate, and the European Drinking Chocolate which is the thick, rich cup to sip on.

Cold chocolate drinks include the Frozen Hot Chocolate, Horchata, Smoothies, and a Cold Brew. If you want both coffee and chocolate, the mocha list put a shot of espresso in the chocolate drinks.

Mission Hot Chocolate. The spiced chocolate gives great depth to the blend of chocolate used to make this cup. Tip: Look out for the tray of free homemade marshmallows to add to your beverage or simply as a snack on the side

 

Dandelion Chocolate Desserts & Pastries

To the right of the cash register are the day’s desserts and pastries. Select from a drool-worthy display of s’mores, brownies, tarts, cakes, cookies, and more. If you cannot decide and just want to eat everything, get the chef’s tasting dessert flight with miniature portions of the day’s best desserts.

One of the most popular desserts at Dandelion Chocolate – and for a very good reason. These s’mores are some of the best you can have because of the softness of the homemade marshmallow and the dark chocolate chunk on top. A must order
