    They serve Blue Bottle coffee and make special drinks with TCHO chocolate. But don't make the mistake I made by ordering a drink ten min. before the tour. Order well before the tour starts or after.

    For the tour, they definitely start giving away reserved tickets to the waitlist people 5 mins before. NO open toe shoes! All piercings, any dangling jewelry and watches will be stored in the locker.

    A chocolate haven located along the Embarcadero. I went the caffeinated drink route experiencing an iced TCHOchocolate mocha with Blue Bottle espresso yum.

    This is a chocolate factory started by the minds behind Wired Magazine. They give tours twice daily, but the real reason to go is for a very good Mocha! Opens at 9:00 AM.

    Stop in for their AMAZING mochas, or just to sample their chocolates. They also do tours at 2 that you can sign up for online.

    Amazing artisanal chocolate from Peru. Highly recommend their dark hot chocolate. It is a gift on a rainy day.

    Stopped here during a short stay in SF. Great place to grab some delicious chocolatey drinks and gifts if you are by the piers.

    Awesome tour/experience. I learned a ton about chocolate. Make sure you wear closed toed shoes. But if you forget, they have clogs for loan.

    The chocolate is delicious but the employees are so rude! Try the drinking chocolate shot - it is sooo good!

    Ask for a receipt if you are also getting chocolates since they use the receipt to get the drinks made, which they messed up today.

    Beyond pretentious, can't fathom spending $80ish for powder chocolate mix. The staff were too above answering my questions about the different types and the chocolate really is not that great.

    The actual tour part of the tour isn't bad, but the hour long high school history class esque lecture at the start ruins the rest of the experience.

    It's more of a presentation than a tour. Might as well peek at the manufacturing area through a window for all you get to see. Be aware.

    The prices at the factory are ridiculous. They're at least 20% cheaper at Mollie Stone's/Whole Foods/specialty stores/basically everywhere else. Nothing is uniquely sold here despite what they say.
