Dandelion Chocolate is a bean-to-bar chocolate producer in San Francisco that started in the Mission District, opening a Valencia Street shop in early 2010 after years of refining a focus on small-batch, single-origin chocolate. The company sources all cacao beans directly, traveling to origin to build partnerships with growers, and then processes them through roasting, cracking, sorting, winnowing, grinding, refining, and tempering to produce bars that highlight the distinct flavors of each bean. Its 16th Street factory serves as the production site and also houses Bloom, a pastry kitchen, and a confections operation, while offering tours and classes on sourcing and making single-origin chocolate and stocking bonbons and collaborator confections. The customer base includes chocolate enthusiasts and connoisseurs seeking high-quality, origin-focused chocolate, who visit for tours, tastings, and educational experiences. The business has expanded beyond its original San Francisco footprint with additional locations in San Francisco and an outpost in Las Vegas, and it engages in partnerships with other food makers and events, such as collaborations with Holey Grail Donuts and various tasting evenings.
