“ Shop is small but the team is so friendly! Incredible flavors and they usually let you sample ”
“ My team participated in the virtual chocolate and tea pairing offered through MerryMint and absolutely loved it! It was friendly to all team members and Wendy and Pauline were excellent and wellorganized instructors! They coordinated mailing 15 boxes of chocolate and tea all across the US and to some places with high temperatures! All team members received their box intact and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tasting. We learned a ton about making truffles and tea and were able to enjoy the delicious treats at the same time. Wendy and Pauline came prepared with a ton of content and were very high energy and natural over the Zoom call. Ive already recommended them to my friends and family to use for their fun remote work activities! ”
“ Was here not as a customer but can say that the facility is one of the cleanest commercial kitchens I have ever seen. Its evident that owner takes great care in maintaining order and cleanliness, which is truly commendable. I was also inspired by the story behind their business, and after seeing the passion they put into it, sure Ill be back very soonas a customer to try the chocolate! Wishing you continued success! ”
“ Wandered into this shop at SFO. The sales person was interesting and helpful. These are the best chocolates Ive ever eaten. I bought the Little Saigon Box, the 65 and 100 buttons, and the toasted nuts dark chocolate bar. ”
“ Got a cinammon toast milk chocolate bar from here today that is delicious! I also tried a sample of a passion fruit truffle that was a unique flavor combination plus owner was at the cash register and seemed nice, good experience ”
“ Just got a small box of these chocolates at SFO airport. I only wanted one piece bat the smallest box had four. They are sooo delicious I am sure I will finish the box before I arrive home! These truffle flavors are truly unique, decadent, and beautiful. ”
“ Delicious chocolate. Highly recommend. Even the flavors that you think you wont like are good. Where else can you get durian or Pho flavored chocolate? Nowhere. My personal favorite is the guava flavor. ”
“ Best chocolates on the West Coast! I love the alpaca mascot ! My favorite are the salty caramel chews I could eat a pound in one sitting and have in the past as a result of these chews being a so perfectly balanced mix of salt and sweet. Three cheers for Socola! ”
