Michael's Chocolates

Didn't know there was a gelato place here and was super excited to try it out! Hubby and I shared 2 scoops of dark chocolate and pistachio. I'm a huge fan of pistachio and it's not really easy to get a good one around. Michael Mischer gelato was amazing! You could really taste the roasted pistachios!!! Delicious! The chocolate was rich and delicious as well. Unbelievable! So happy to have found out this spot! Prices are reasonable - 2 small scoops (you can get 2 different flavors) for $4 ain't bad. Place inside is lovely and spacious with couple tables to sit! So many chocolates to choose from - I still have to come back to try out their chocolates! But for now, I'm going to dream about that lovely gelato. Can't wait to be back!!!

I’ve never been a chocolate person but I think I’ve just never had good chocolate before. I tried the salted caramel and the speculoo which was made for the holiday season and both were really delicious. I also had the salted caramel hot chocolate which was very good. The owner, Michael, is a very kind person who has so much knowledge about chocolate and wine (he used to be a wine sommelier before going to to chocolate). They have a few indoor seats but you can sit outside as well.

Michael helped answer my chocolate questions and helped me choose an amazing chocolate. I will have to come back for gelato!

I haven't been to this storefront, we met Michael and Curtis at a chocolate festival last weekend and they were lovely! Delicious chocolate and lemon burst was my favorite! My husband loved the Bourbon chocolate set. Two of the nicest people you could meet and the chocolate was divine!

Micheal, the owner, was especially nice and walked me through the notes of some of his chocolates. His lemon, and earl grey chocolates both won the coveted Good Food Award. The chocolates whisk you into a world of positive measures and possibilities. They are an escape from the mundane that remind us of hope; because Micheal crafts something wonderful even as the world can sometimes feel hopeless for us to enjoy.

We sent an assortment of chocolates to 125 clients of ours. The reviews were the best we have ever gotten. Michael was a pleasure to work with. And I’ll be delighted to work together again!

I've only ever gotten the gelato here, but it's one of my go-to places for gelato/ice cream in oakland! Don't be confused by the name - they offer much more than chocolate flavours, and you're allowed a small taste to try some flavours if you can't make up your mind yet. And I think the flavours change from time to time so you can try out different ones each time you go. The staff is friendly and helpful at making suggestions.

The shop is nice and the chocolates are beautiful. A single chocolate bar is over $10 so the place isn't cheap, and though I've tasted the very delicious pumpkin pie chocolate, I'm not sure I'm sold on the price tag. I have no doubt a true chocolate connoisseur could justify the price, but as a guy who enjoys Ghirardelli, my taste buds aren't so refined. I bought the Murry River Salt medium dark and the toffee/Murry River Salt in milk. I'll update this rating after trying those two... of course they're coming out at the next dinner party. For now they sit snuggly in the cabinet in a sealed air-tight container.
