    While on our trip to San Francisco, my group and I took a cable car from Chinatown to the Warf and ended up stopping at Ghirardelli Square! This place is beautiful at night with its name in lights! I was very impressed with this shopping square and stopped in to grab a hot chocolate, a sea salt caramel hot chocolate to be exact and it was delicious! The service was fast and friendly. I reccomend this place for any sweet treat, I wanted to try a sundae but it was already cold out (next time).

    Get a sweet treat at Ghirardelli! They have all kinds of sweet chocolate desserts. Line gets pretty long but it goes by quick. However, it is sometimes hard to get or find a seat right away. I also wouldn recommend their hot cocoa, it taste like it's just swiss hot cocoa packet, or watered down.

    Came here years ago as a kid to visit Ghirardelli square on field trips. You can imagine my anticipation coming here again after all these years to have one of their sundaes; it surely didn't disappoint. Let me just say the aroma when you walk into the shop is amazingggg. I am huge chocolate lover; so to smell the fresh hot fudge permeating through my nostrils I couldn't wait to get a taste. Ok so what did I get: I had their mini chocolate sundae and added a brownie on top and hot chocolate. My friend had their salted caramel hot chocolate. Mini hot chocolate sundae w/brownie 4/5 very tasty and the brownie I felt took this sundae up a notch. The hot fudge was good and the type of flavor you would expect out of a traditional sundae. Classic hot chocolate:5/5 I will say it's really hard to find good hot chocolate. But this here was by far the best I've had in yearssss. Most hot chocolates I've had tend to be more on watery side and the chocolate flavor usually is lacking. But this was made to perfection the rich chocolate and milk had a great balance in flavor. It wasn't too sweet which I thought it would be, it had right amount of milk and chocolate. Salted caramel hot chocolate:5/5 My friend agreed with my analysis of my hot chocolate in terms of flavor and balance. Whether your into traditional hot chocolate or prefer to go the non traditional route and kick things up a notch and like caramel both of these options will not disappoint. Service:5/5 Super friendly and fast, the checker was very nice and patient explaining and giving her recommendations. My friend bought a chocolate train which the checker was nice enough to wrap the gift up for her. Overall, Great experience and would definitely recommend this SF staple to anyone thinking about coming.

    Happened to be in the area and I wanted a sweet treat so here I am. When I arrived, the line was pretty long, but it actually went by fast. I ordered the Mini World Famous. The ice cream was smooth and it came out really fast. This establishment is located in Ghirardelli Square. It is one of SF tourist attractions. As you would expect, this place tends to be a bit pricy. This area also is very lively. Also, parking here wasn't really an issue because there is an underground parking nearby.
