Dandelion Chocolate

2600 16th St · San Francisco, CA

Why you should go…

Dandelion Chocolate makes bean-to-bar chocolate in a converted print shop on 16th Street, roasting and grinding cacao on site. Guided factory tours walk visitors through the full process from raw beans to finished bars, ending with a tasting of several single-origin chocolates; the adjoining cafe sells pastries, drinking chocolate, and bars to go.

Good to know

General eat & drink guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Go early or go late

    The simplest way around a wait at a popular room is to sit down before the rush or after it.

  • Reservations open on a schedule

    Where bookings are taken, tables tend to be released a set number of days in advance, often at a fixed hour.

  • Menus move with the season

    Treat any dish you read about online as a maybe, not a promise, especially anything local and seasonal.

  • Ask what the place is known for

    Staff will point you at the thing worth ordering faster than any list will.
