\"XOX
A real French chocolatier and one of the oldest artisan chocolate shops in San Francisco.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

754 Columbus Avenue, San Francisco<\/h4>\n

North Beach\/Russian Hill DIY Tour<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Old-school French<\/h2>\n

\"Local<\/a> \"Factory<\/a>XOX Truffles<\/strong><\/a> \"4-cup<\/a> is an authentic French chocolatier, Jean-Marc Gorce, who with his wife, Casimira Tobilla, has been selling his handmade truffles in North Beach since 1997.\u00a0With these hand-rolled truffles, you can see the hand of the maker. And sometimes you can also meet the maker at the shop.<\/p>\n

So many truffles have been made here that it has its own patina: Look up and you\u2019ll see chocolate dust on the walls.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t have an online store, so the only way to enjoy XOX truffles is to visit the shop.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 3\/2014: XOX opened an outpost @ SFO in Terminal 3. UPDATE 2019: This location has closed.<\/p>\n

CBTB Tip:<\/h3>\n

Buy a cup of coffee at XOX, get a free truffle.<\/p>\n
