Our purpose

This site aims to give both visitors to the San Francisco Bay area and residents information on local chocolatiers, candy makers and chocolate sellers. Started by 4 chocolate enthusiasts (aka, The Four Chocolateers), it's meant to be a fun, informative source on chocolate with a local angle.

We hope the information here encourages other chocolateers to come enjoy what the Bay Area has to offer, and give local chocolatiers the encouragement to continue to grow SFBA as a world destination for chocolate.

Chocolate transcends all worlds. My work in the world of arts management is certainly not exempt, and I consider chocolate a saving grace when the going gets tough. There could be no greater joy for me than seeking out, tasting, and reviewing chocolate with my tai chi friends -- and sharing our discoveries!
