Retail shop for the revered, local candy-man's chocolate creations.
by Joanna Currier
In Short
Gourmet confections from this famous Bay Area chocolatier grace the shelves of the small boutique near the Castro. Schmidt's signature clean lines and ornamental, sculpted shapes--fine chocolate bowls, leaves, large seasonal icons, and extraordinary flower bouquets--are on display, and most are for sale. At much sweeter prices are the signature truffles, bars, turtles, caramels, chocolate bars and other bon-bons, available in gift boxes or from behind the counter.
worth a trip
by davidsto
the variety.. the helpful suggestions of the staff, the imaginative use and design of chocolate.. try coming to this store and not leaving with armfuls of chocolates.. a totally pleasant experience...
- Pros: imaginative chocolate, something for everyon
Great chocolate- Poor service
by missmockingbird
The chocolate is amazingly tasty. The variety is wonderful and they usually have some very clever new chocolates in cute shapes. The only downside is that the staff basically ignores you until you ask for assistance and then condescendingly helps you. I'll still keep coming back for the chocolate.
- Pros: cold staff, poor service, odd location
- Cons: tasty chocolate, clever shapes
A delicacy-superior in design & taste

Joseph Schmidt's confections are artwork in themselves, they truly appear to be too beautiful to eat! And the flavor meets the complexity of the design...the truffles and chocolates are amazing! With designs that change according to the season and holiday, they offer an array of gifts perfect for significant others and friends. Joseph Schmidt is truly a San Francisco gem!
