Feve Artisan Chocolatier

I almost didn’t want to write a review because this place is such a hidden gem…but that would be gatekeeping 😉 I go here every Valentine’s Day because they have the best chocolate on earth. I’ve never tried better chocolate in my life. If you like passionfruit - theirs is the best you’ll ever have. Try it and find out!

My husband is awesome and brings me chocolate from his business travels. I've had the privilege to try chocolate from all over the world, and this chocolate officially ties for first place in my book. I don't know how they do it. The flavors are so distinct and perfect together. Each one is like it's own little book. I'm blown away. You guys are great at what you do. Bravo!

Feve chocolates are outstanding! I order them frequently. The flavors in the bars are immensely accurate. You feel that you are eating real raspberry cheesecake, a spoonful of peanut butter and cinnamon sprinkled toast with the perfect amount of sugar. The truffles are deeply rich. The quality of chocolate used in all of the items we have ordered has been outstanding, the best I have encountered. For shipment orders, Feve preserves every bar and box in vacuum sealed wrappers. This retains freshness to the point that you feel you picked up the items directly in their store. I highly recommend their chocolates!

I received a delicious giftbox, 21 piece’s of Chocolate! I can’t stop sampling all the amazing flavors. Each piece is beautifully decorated. I will definitely purchase as a gift or for myself. 😋 yummy

Great flavours! I enjoy coming here on Friday where they sell their “defects” (they don’t look defective at all) for $1 a piece.

My chocolate life is complete since discovering these chocolates, after receiving them as a gift last Christmas. I’ve since ordered them five times, for myself and as gifts for others. My most recent delivery made me write this review as I appreciate how well-packaged they arrived. I was worried they might melt from fedex delivery all the way to NJ but feve shipped my chocolates packaged in a cooler bag with ice packs. I love this chocolatier and they will remain my go-to for sugar-joy.

Feve is a chocolatier with outstanding quality products. Seasonal varieties are always something to look forward to. A must visit during my trips to San Fransisco.

Best chocolates in town! Variety of flavors and beautifully made. The factory has a small shop in front where you can purchase chocolates. Hard to find, but once you find it, it is so worth it! This is my new go to for chocolates in the city. Also reasonably priced.

Excuse me, but how DARE you create something so addicting!? The first taste of this fine chocolate melted into every single taste bud I had, and even some I didn't know I had! It's the best chocolate I've ever had! I got the vegan/plant based assorted box and every bite was blissful heaven. I may need to get a second job to afford my new newfound addiction. Please let me know if you're hiring, I'll work for free if it means I get free chocolates.

4.5 stars but rounding up for their FACTORY FRIDAYS. I'm hesitant to spread the word, since I'm tempted to be greedy and keep these fantastic chocolates all to myself. However, Feve deserves the kudos for their delicious chocolates! They are located in an industrial area, and you'll want to follow your GPS closely to avoid getting lost in a not so nice area. Ring the doorbell to Feve once you arrive, and they'll let you into the store. They only sell pre-packaged boxes/collections, and you can take a look at the different flavors in each collection before purchasing. Luckily for me, I stopped by on a Friday, and they had their Factory Fridays deal available: 35 "imperfect" chocolates for ONLY $35 (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=q5BR9ngnVnshGrB_djmR3A&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg)- this was a GREAT deal. However, the chocolates are pre-selected, and you get the flavors you get. I had a few repeat flavors in my box, but I have no regrets! The Factory Fridays chocolates are first come, first served, and I was lucky they still had a few available at 4:45pm that Friday (according to their staff, they can sell out in the mornings). Some of the flavors I tried are below, in order of my faves. -Passion Fruit (Bright, clean passion fruit flavor encased in a shell of dark chocolate): Delicious! I loved the tartness of the passion fruit contrasted with the dark chocolate. -Peanut Butter Crunch (Caramelized, hand-made peanut praline with crispy French wafer and fine sea salt): Yum- I loved how peanut butter-y this was. -Crispy Hazelnut (Dark caramelized hazelnut praline, milk chocolate and feuilletine): I loved the hazelnut flavor, and crispy bites of feuilletine. -Almond Lemon Crunch (Crunchy, caramelized almond praline with zesty lemon coated in dark chocolate): I couldn't taste much of the lemon, but I liked the crunchy almond praline. -Salted Caramel (Smooth, soft and buttery dark-roasted caramel with hints of vanilla and savory Malden sea salt. A Feve signature truffle): Smooth and creamy caramel with the perfect balance of salt. -Yuzu (Intense lemon flavor balanced by a buttery white ganache made from Japanese citrus fruit): The yuzu flavor was very delicate, but had a subtle citrus zing. I liked that their white chocolate wasn't too sweet. -Cabernet (A blended dark and milk chocolate ganache infused with a full-bodied California Cabernet): Rich and smooth ganache with a hint of cabernet. -Mango Ginger (A sumptuous, smooth dark chocolate truffle infused with ginger and layered with house-made mango passion jam): I wish this was just mango versus mango ginger. The ginger taste didn't really come through, but I thought it detracted from the mango. -Banana Caramel (A silky truffle with oven-roasted bananas, caramel and vanilla beans): This was definitely my least favorite, since banana has no business with chocolate, in my opinion. The caramel portion of the chocolate was good though. Their staff is super friendly and helpful. Masks were still required to enter the store when I went in March 2022 (even though the mandate was lifted). Their staff were still wearing masks, and they had sanitizer. No seating area was available (indoor or outdoor). Parking in front of their store was easy to find since there were plenty of spots available.

Located in an industrial area, this is a wholesale/manufactury/and retail space. Parking was very easy. Ringing the doorbell I was immediately welcomed in and saw a tower of chocolates on a Metro rack. The space was absolutely spotless, with all employees masked and very professional. These people take their artistry seriously with beautiful chocolates and treats carefully packaged. In and out within minutes, what a great place to support an artisanal business!

The storefront leaves much to be desired, but these delicate works of art are the best fine artisan chocolates ever! A single beautiful piece averages about 10g of net carbs. A bite is well worth the sacrifice & the difference is you WILL feel good! Take it to go & you will leave with perfection!

I originally thought this was a retail shop but it's their wholesale location where they make the chocolates. You can't buy individual pieces here but they sell prepackaged boxes that are discounted from what they charge in stores. They focus on beautifully deigned truffles,it reminds me a lot of the look of Christopher Elbow's chocolates. Feve chocolate is more on the darker side, I don't think they have anything milk chocolate which is my favorite but I really liked their chocolate covered orange sticks which can be addictive. Since it's located a bit BFE and not open on the weekend, it really only makes sense to visit here if you work in Bernal Heights, Bay View, or somewhere out that way. Otherwise some stores that carry their products are Bite Rite, Food Hall, or Cheese Plus.

High quality chocolate! Came here on Christmas Even and they were still open! This is their factory location and so there isn't much of a real store front; from the outside it looks more like an office/factory space in a commercial area but if you call the number on the door they'll let you inside. We went in planning to purchase just their gift two 9-piece gift sets of assorted chocolates and dark chocolates but ended up buying more... Grabbed a bag of the matcha sesame covered almonds and chai spiced covered almonds. Not a huge fan of chai spiced but I enjoyed the matcha sesame. They were also out of the 3 oz bag of matcha sesame almonds but the owner/sales rep offered to give us the 6 oz bag at the price of the 3 oz bag. Superb customer service. Will come here next time for sweets and gifts!

Fabulous chocolate with some unique flavors I love it that it's a special only available in SF

Wow these chocolates are seriously legit. I was lucky enough to discover their "Factory Fridays" and bought the "rejects"... the imperfect pieces that didn't make the cut. I asked what makes the chocolates "rejects" and it's minor scuffs or slight imperfections. I didn't get to try all the flavors but the ones I did try, they were all very good. The chocolates that "make the cut" are available in nicely packaged gift boxes. The chocolates are beautifully made. Highly recommend!

An exceptional selection of chocolates. I am a realtor and love getting their boxes for my open houses. Folks coming though live exploring all the different options.

We had a blast here for a company team outing! Bryon was very responsive and informative throughout the last-minute scheduling process. $175 per person for a 2-hour workshop for about 15 people. You get to take home a big tray of very high quality chocolate that you made at around $70 retail price I believe. Minimum 8 persons, 25% non-refundable deposit. Chocolate quality was superb and gorgeously finished. I never liked mint but the mint truffles here changed my mind! Also loved that I was able to custom my own caramel-filled truffles so I can put in as much or as little as I liked! And the finished products were SO pretty and polished I felt extra fancy afterwards! 100% recommend for a team outing. Staff was friendly and professional. Or stop by their factory for discounted price, fancy chocolate truffles! I believe they make truffles for Dandelion (using Dandelion's own chocolate bars) and soon will supply for Ritz-Carlton! The workshop started with an introductory mini-lecture and Q&A about the whole process of chocolate making, from soil to mouth. Oh, and while listening, we got to sample chocolate at the different stages of its life cycle too! Bryon then gave us a tour of the brand new facility, explaining what the different machines do and answering our questions. Guys, chocolate waterfalls do exist in real life! It's a small one though don't get too excited. Very fun and informative! Then the real fun began. We got to make 2 types of chocolate truffles (only the easier parts of the process). First was the caramel-filled chocolate shell. The chocolate shell was pre-moulded on one side. We filled them with caramel and then encapsulated them by sealing the backing using liquid chocolate. The second was enrobing a mint ganache filling with a chocolate coat. You then get to pick your own cocoa butter pattern to decorate the top. Don't YouTube these processes ahead of time or you'll spoil the fun for yourself! Oh wait but you can see my photos...

I never knew chocolate could be such an experience!!! I picked up a 21-piece box from their warehouse storefront as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. When I gave them to him, we spent time looking at the little menu insert and marveled at how visually beautiful and complex in flavor each piece was. Will definitely be buying more boxes as gifts!

My husband gifted me with chocolates from here for our anniversary, and I am IN LOVE!!!! There aren't a lot of places to get "fancy" artisan chocolates in San Francisco these days, and so it was nice to try a new place for a change. I received a box of Passionfruit Hearts, which were absolutely delicious, with that fresh, acerbic bite of passion fruit that I love so much! The slightly sparkle and rich red color of the exterior also made for a beautiful chocolate! My husband also got me a Single Origin Chocolate sampler, with 9 ultra-smooth-centered chocolates with a very thin hard exterior, making for slight crunch, then a perfectly creamy mouthfeel with every bite! My favorite was the Bolivian 75% cocoa. My husband was also able to get me a few Bailey's Irish Cream chocolates, which were eye-crossingly good!!!! I hope they open a retail store in the city sometime soon...Hmmm, maybe in the Inner Mission? There are so many empty storefronts here, and we could use another chocolate destination!!!

I just tried their 9 piece dome collection and every single chocolate was incredible. They were half domes, not spheres, and quite pricey, but honestly, it was the best chocolate I've had in decades ...if not ever. Going to be craving these for a while now! We were big fans of the dark and stormy, salted caramel, and peanut butter coconut. That said, their fruity chocolates were delicious too (strawberry lemon, mango lime, yuzu). Creative flavors, beautifully shiny, and best part: clearly labeled. Love!

My favorite chocolate place. Shawn is a very smart skillful chocolatier. They use good quality ingredients and lots of time in making these yummy babies. It's also not that sweet which keeps you wanting more. My favorite has always been the passion fruit, Mango, strawberry and Yuzu. Their chocolate boxes are very nice and great for gifts. Thank you Feve for letting us bring these babies home. They will be well loved. Yummy in our tummy. Oh and Bryon the owner is super nice and sweet. Must try if haven't!

My realtor company sent me a box of chocolates from Feve; OMG! They are THE BEST chocolates I've ever had the pleasure of eating I thought Dilettante chocolates were the best until I had these. This is my new favorite chocolates. Thank you Guild Mortgage for sending me these chocolates. Can anyone say, "YUMMY?" No, these are super, super yummy.

I received these sea salt caramels as a gift. I never heard of feve, but I'm a chocolate lover and thought it was another box of fancy artisan chocolates. The fancy little box opened to six shiny round bite size bon bons. Ohh my gawd...I thought I loved chocolate before but these caramels blew me away! Smooth, buttery caramel encased in dark chocolate with bits of vanilla, was the perfect balance of sweet and salty. After tasting these i don't think I can ever go back to anything else. I looked them up and went to buy a few boxes to share with friends and family for the holidays. It was a big hit. On their first bite everyone had the same reaction. I've tasted chocolates & caramels in Paris and brussels at fancy chocolatiers but Feve takes the cake! 20 a box but soo worth it! I'll definitely have to go back and try the other varieties.

I was in another local neighborhood business and struck a conversation with the master chocolatier Shawn What a nice guy ! He invited me to his chocolate factory and I had no idea it was here I'm impressed and the chocolates are DIVINE please go check out this hidden gem !

Such friendly service and high quality chocolate. I came in when I was walking to the CAW Den. I had noticed it before but never stepped in. I figured today would be the day. Right off the bat, the person working was extremely kind. He was happy to tell me all the flavors and even let me try a bunch of samples. I ended up leaving with the original almonds. I think it's so nice to have a handcrafted place nearby!

This was a spur of the movement purchase to grab a gift for the folks up North. While the caramels were good I think they are priced on the high side. While they make for a nice gift I think there are better options at this price point. I did try one of the caramel myself and found it to be decent. It will wow as a gift for sure but if you want it to be regular item at your place then the appeal is lost IMO.

I live in the LA area. I've never visited the store but was able to sample Feve's chocolates at a culinary event. They are so good! I just ordered a box as a birthday gift for a good friend who appreciates good chocolate. I added a box for myself. I can't wait to receive them and for my friend to try them. This is definitely a place I i want to visit next time in in the Bay Area.

Ordered a 9-piece for a friend's bday online for delivery. Got there timely and she loved them! Only wish I could deliver them in person

Feve donated a chocolate making class to Cancer Care Point and I was a lucky winner of a class that I purchased in the fundraiser silent auction. The class was incredible! We had so much fun learning from the pros and we got to make a box of chocolates we took home! The chocolate is the best quality and the folks that work there are so knowledgeable and fun! I would recommend a class or buying this chocolate whenever you can!

I purchased the salted caramels at Costco (they had a demo, and the price was discounted). Even given the discounted price, I assumed there were two layers of chocolates in the box. Unfortunately I was wrong. Yes, they are beautiful to look at (and the magnetic box enclosure is a nice touch). Yes, they tasted great. It was a treat I just can't imagine justifying again.

Not the same quality anymore. Inconsistent, colors muted, seams split, bottom too thick, fillings gritty and caramel is too bitter. Very disappointing.

Great selection; all chocolates are made onsite. The sea salt caramels are divine! This is my new favorite chocolate shop in the city ever since cocoabella went out of business.

Great chocolate, and super friendly owner. I work about a block from here and when they first opened I decide to visit them. Its a little pricier then I'm used too but the owner gave me a sample, then two,then , three....I started to get my fill in chocolate and ask him to stop giving me free chocolate his reply " please don't say no more chocolate". So i bought a box and gave it to my coworkers. Base on the the quality of the chocolate" its more than worth the money.

Incredible chocolate! I am Swiss and really love my chocolates. Not only do they make great tasting and wonderfully packaged chocolate, these guys just understand how to run a business. The customer service for this small team is top notch and I recommend trying any of their chocolate. The Sea Salt Caramels are out of this world!

Seriously the best salted caramels I've ever had. And I've had A LOT! And the chocolate covered caramelized almonds are like crack, so I've heard. He just added several more products that I'm excited to try, but the ones I have are all amazing so you can't go wrong!

Out of this world! Certainly lives up to it's reputation. And the caramelized chocolate almonds are the absolute best!!! I also like the beautiful packaging on all the boxes.

Dayum son this is some really really really tasty chocolate. I love chocolate and, for my palate, it is very difficult to get chocolate as wonderful as Feve. I was lucky enough to receive the natural truffle box (9 pieces for $22) as a gift recently and has blown me away. I never heard about Feve before this gift and boy was I in for a treat! Each piece is beautifully made and manages to provide a delicate yet very intense chocolate experience without being overly sweet. What I mean by delicate is that it has a nice soft chew- not like you're biting into a hard piece of chocolate or not gooey either (at least the pieces I've eaten before). I think it's really nicely balanced. You'll have to try it to understand. Beyond the beauty and taste, mega bonus points for being local SF made, conscious/sustainable sourcing, and for giving FIVE percent of their profits to Kiva. I can't wait to check out the store myself!

Everything I've had from Feve is delicious! Everything looks beautiful too! Craftsman and Wolves is on the same block, so right after we got chocolate, we picked up some goodies C&W!

My daughter and her fiancé chose Feve Chocolatier to provide their wedding favors. The chocolates were attractively packaged in silver boxes, tied with a chocolate brown ribbon. The bride and groom's name were printed on a label placed along the long edge of the box. Each box held two pieces of Feve's delicious chocolates.

My waist line can attest to the fact that I've probably tasted every singe type of chocolate made at Feve Chocolate..and they are delicious. The caramelized nuts are unlike any other nut based candy I've ever had. But of course where feve really shines (literally) is with the truffles . They are beautiful, elegant, and delicious. My favorite is the pistachio rosemary. My kids love the Cardamom Whiskey Almond because they think they are sneaking alcohol. The passion fruit pairs wonderfully with almost any white wine. But most of all, Shawn is a great person and it's awesome to support artisan businesses owned by good people. Support good people and good chocolate, buy Feve.

Feve is among the top American chocolatiers. They've won awards and all of my friends who've tried their chocolates (especially the curvey hazelnut praline bar) cannot drool enough. They're pricey but that's because the ingredients and techniques are so superlative. I know candy: try them. If you regret it, I'll take your leftovers.

My favorite San Francisco chocolate maker! My daughter and I love visiting the shop, and it's exciting for her because that's also where the chocolates are created. They are always so friendly and helpful. Incredibly delicious chocolates and caramels!

Feve chocolates are delicious pieces of art. Not only do they look beautiful, but taste like nothing else I've found in stores. Plus, it is so great to support a local producer right here in the City, especially knowing that nowhere else in the world you can get this unique chocolate. Highly recommend for gifts and personal use. :)

I've had a whole range of Feve Chocolates and have loved them every time. Having the caramelized almonds in the house is dangerous because I can't resist having some every time I walk past them. The bags and boxes make great gifts. This Christmas everybody's getting Feve.

I'm kind of a sea salt caramel afficionado, I've tried many. So far nothing compares to the taste, quality, and texture of feve. They are perfection. Buttery, not too sweet, just the right salty to sweet ratio and utterly delicious. I discovered them when at a box appeared at a party and immediately went online to see where I could find more. Good news and bad news that the store location is some distance from my house. I look forward to long and sweet relationship with feve caramels.

Shawn is a chocolate whisperer. And it's all sweet. He's super adventurous on flavor pairings and his Yuzu is a must try. Also be sure to stock up on spiced almonds. You can't beat em

Our new neighbors just introduced themselves yesterday and brought us a "9 Piece Chinese New Year Box"! Wow, this was super delicious! Yes, this chocolatier is outstanding!

Freaking amazing chocolates! I met Shawn at the recent Winestock SF event and was so blown away by his knowledge, passion and skill in chocolate (chocolatiering?) My favorites (I think I have these correct) are the whiskey cardamon, vanilla sesame, salty caramel, and ginger truffles. A great big THANK YOU to Shawn and Feve Chocolatiers!

Never in my life have I tasted chocolate like this. It is the best ever and I've had great chocolate. I have to meet this chocolatier!! My daughter and son-in-law Scott & Jennifer gave us a box and it was my favorite As gift!!! I could sell a ton in San Jose for you.

We ordered wedding favors from Feve for a wedding that included both Chinese and American families. The chocolates were attractively packaged in red boxes with gold ribbons for our Chinese wedding banquet, They were a huge hit! Many guests told me how much they enjoyed them and asked where to obtain them. I checked the tables after the banquet to gather the unopened boxes and there were none - all boxes were empty. Shawn took the order and delivered the chocolates right on time. Five stars - my highest recommendation!!

I am a bit of a chocolate snob and I have to say, this is hands down the best chocolate out there. Before I discovered Feve, my favorite was Laurent Gerbaud, the best chocolate maker in Brussels hunted down through an acquaintance who is equally fanatic about exceptional chocolate. Well, move over Laurent Gerbaud, you've been outdone by Feve! No small accomplishment, if I do say so myself. The most notable part about Feve is the incredible flavor profile balance they achieve in every single piece. You have to try them even if it's just to know what exceptional chocolate tastes like.

This place is amazing! It's tucked away a bit, but well worth finding. Shawn is super sweet and he makes the most exquisite chocolate that I've ever had. I love that this shop is in my neighborhood instead of downtown somewhere. I will definitely be back, not only for personal indulgence, but also for gifts.

The passion fruit chocolates are pleasing to both the eye and mouth. The detail put into making these small pieces of heaven is impressive and unforgettable. Once you try Feve, you'll never consider mainstream mock-olate again. Bravo!

I rarely (like never) write reviews on Yelp but these chocolates were so good I had to give the company kudos. I received a box of the salted caramels from a SF friend who sends me caramels for Christmas every year. These were so much better than all the others I was just in salted caramel heaven. Every bite is sugar bliss...nothing better...ever! I'd love to visit the store in person.

These chocolates are special...I adore chocolate and can be a chocolate snob..i'd rather one piece of really exceptional chocolate than a chocolate bar from the convenience store. When my husband and i plan a trip one of the first things i will do is Google artisan chocolate. Which is how I found FEVE. We were in San Fransisco for a family event and we actually stopped at FEVE on the way to our hotel. I can honestly say it was the best stop of the whole trip. The last time we were in San Fransisco we spent the better part of the day going to some of the many chocolate shops in the bay area. In my opinion these are the best. One of the trends in gourmet chocolate these days is to blend chocolate with unusual flavors....chile peppers, wasabi, etc.....FEVE has a variety of different flavors but his blend of flavors compliment the chocolate, even the corn nut. The texture is smooth and has a lovely feel on the tongue, the chocolate covering is not too thick...in other words out and out fantastic. I have to agree with Christina S. that his salted caramels are the absolute best. It may be a good thing that he is located on the west coast and i am in new england....though I periodically go to the FEVE web page to feed my eyes and have a debate with myself on how to justify the shipping cost. If you get a chance i would definitely say try these chocolates. I doubt you will will regret it.

I went to Feve for a Carmel and Chocolate Confections class and fell in love with these amazing chocolates! Shawn Williams is a perfectionist and if there is a must do to place for foodies (or anyone with a passion for chocolate), make sure you stop in and try these amazing works of art! Perfect balance, incredible sheen and something you will savor and remember for days . . . It's been only two days and I can't wait to go back for more. Packaging for the 9 chocolates as a gift made an amazing gift for a friend and the chocolate covered nuts were scrumptious.
