"An annual Golden Gate Park event where, at the beginning of April, he performed exceptionally well: he took home six out of nine People’s Choice Awards from attendees and earned two gold medals from the judges, substantially raising his visibility in the local chocolate community." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Dandelion’s beautiful new chocolate salon, Bloom, inside their recently opened Mission factory headquarters, serves sit-down breakfasts and afternoon tea focused on (what else?) chocolate. Highlights at breakfast from pastry chef Lisa Vega include a chocolate chip pancake cake, churros with chocolate dipping sauce, and savory fare like quiche served with a side of greens and a cacao pulp vinaigrette." - Luke Tsai, Caleb Pershan, Eve Batey
"Dandelion Chocolate changed the game on bean to bar in San Francisco, and the hot chocolate is a great way to taste what makes the company so popular. It’s an uber rich treat made with 70 percent Camino Verde, Ecuador single-origin chocolate and perfect for sipping as you walk around the city." - Lauren Saria
"Twenty years later, Dandelion Chocolate is the next luminary, taking that strong chocolate flavor and breaking it out into distinct profiles. Dandelion opened its dazzling new facility on 16th Street in 2019, and it honors the tradition of the chocolate factories that came before it, complete with exposed brick, big beams, and brass details." - Becky Duffett
"And the new Dandelion Chocolate Factory is just dazzling, dedicating a city block to hot chocolate, chocolate cake, chocolate everything." - Eater Staff
