Strawberry and chocolate crepe š Delicious good and lovely staff
Good little place
Overall: 8/10
The price was reasonable. I ordered the large size with 3 flavors ā they gave a generous amount of ice cream.
However, the restroom was not available, even for customers who made a purchase.
Had some wonderful gelato in gaslamp district of San Diego. Lots of flavors. Had a medium cone with salted caramel and pistachio gelato.
Came here to eat chocolate ganache cheesecake, but it was too dry and taste old. š„ŗ

Do not waste your time or money at this place. Our kids wanted dessert so we took our kids here to look at the gelato. Our intentions were to check this place out and the cookie place across the street. While my wife and her parents were looking at the gelato our daughter went to the restroom. She came out and I said āok we can look across the street but Iām coming back for this peanut butter gelato.ā To this the lady behind the counter threw up her hands in disgust and said, āof course! Just here to use the restroom!ā And walked away from us. Unbelievable! I was absolutely coming back , but not after thatā¦no way! I thanked her for her appalling lack of customer service and told her she just earned this review. The cookie place ended up being closed and we went down to the Ghirardelli shop down the streetā¦dessert was enjoyed by everyone and the service was excellent. Donāt go to this place. The product looked great, but rudeness like that is unacceptable and intolerable. I wish I had read the multitude of other negative reviews about the ārude lady that works the night shiftā hereā¦I have no doubt that this was her.

A lot of choices here to satisfy your sweet tooth in Gaslamp! We got a crepe and added a scoop of gelato. It was plenty for 2 people to share. Prices are high, but that is expected in this location.

This was our second time eating here. The food was delicious and reasonable price. Monica, despite dealing with remodeling, was courteous and pleasant and provided remarkable service. We are awaiting for the weekend to go back and have their tiramisu pancakes! Thank you Monica.

Disappointing Experience - Overhyped and Undelivered. I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience at Chocolate SD left me no choice. This was, hands down, one of the worst dining experiences Iāve had in San Diego.
The service was abysmal, completely inattentive, unfriendly, and disorganized. It felt like the staff had no interest in providing even the bare minimum level of hospitality.
The crepes were equally disappointing, bland, poorly made, and far from what Iād expect from a place that markets itself as a chocolate haven. The flavors didnāt pop, the presentation was sloppy, and the overall quality was shockingly bad.
To top it all off, the hype around this place feels completely unwarranted. Donāt believe the positive reviews, they donāt align with the reality of what this place offers. There are far better dessert spots in San Diego that actually care about their customers and their food quality.
Absolutely not worth your time or money.

Bad service, on their phones. Bad attitude, the food is also really unsanitary, They donāt let anyone use the bathroom until they pay for something. The girl who took my order was Tan and has blonde hair, had such a frowny face on the whole time, and was not being helpful.

Honestly nothing good to say, the cakes were worse than store bought and 3x more expensive. The gelato was a crime and water down. The person at the door was rude. Best part of this place is that Ghirardelli is within walking distance.
