Charles Chocolates

Self-taught chocolatier Chuck Siegel has honed his craft over 30 years, developing a loyal following that has taken him from cult purveyor to household name. At his shop and factory in the lower Mission, you can view the production room, then sample and purchase Siegel’s ridiculously addictive signature treats: triple-chocolate almonds, salty-sweet cashew bars, fleur de sel caramels, and his latest seasonal and experimental creations, from gianduja blocks to caramel almond sticks.
