French chocolate experience<\/h2>\n

\"Local<\/p>\n

Maison Bouche<\/a><\/strong> (\u201cMouth House\u201d in English), established in 2009, is an East Bay chocolatier with a French accent. From the chocolate\u2019s names to the pretty packaging to the quality flavor ingredients blended into superb chocolate, it\u2019s like a little trip to Paris in every bar.<\/p>\n

Maison Bouche makes 30\u201350 different flavored bars in a wide range of flavors. Their website divides bars into categories that include holiday (and seasonal) flavors, spices, flowers, crunches, cocktails, and more. They also sell other confections and\u00a0postcards of vintage French images.<\/p>\n

Their bars are available online and in stores around the country (see their website for exact locations), including\u00a0Chocolate Covered<\/a> in SF. \u00a0And Maison Bouche has a booth at the\u00a0Kensington Farmers\u2019 Market<\/a>, Sundays, 10 am\u20132 pm, where you can also buy their French-style pastries and other baked goods.<\/p>\n

CBTB tip<\/h3>\n

Maison Bouche bars and other confections make simple, attractive and unusual gifts for chocolate lovers. The flavors sound special, the packaging looks French, and the color combinations of the labels with the colored foil wrappers are very pleasing. The couverture is very good, and the ingredients are all high quality.<\/p>\n
