Crema's Take

This artisan chocolatier and tea house in Sebastopol is a rare find where the owner David's obsessive attention to sourcing and craft shines through in every cup and confection, from small-batch cacao drinks to an impressive global tea selection and made-to-order chocolates that feel like edible art. The cozy, intimate space invites you to linger and watch the magic happen, whether you're savoring a perfectly spiced chai or a chocolate creation infused with unexpected flavors like raspberry, and locals and visitors alike make pilgrimages here for the integrity of the organic ingredients and the genuine passion behind every detail. It's the kind of place where you can feel the owner's deep knowledge and dedication in conversation, making it as much about connection and discovery as it is about the drinks and treats themselves.

Wonderful local gem with an extensive list of teas and cacao/chocolates from around the world. The owner is clearly so dedicated to the craft and knowledgeable. Sweet cozy atmosphere as well! Love the sipping chocolate with 100% cacao, and the Japanese green teas

The quality and care in the craftsmanship and sourcing of these chocolates is unparalleled. I so so appreciate the integrity of their organic ingredients and the mind blowing deliciousness of the chocolates. They are well worth every penny! Highly recommend.

Artistry, expertise and time intensive works of delectable delights. They may seem expensive but David could double his prices and still wouldn’t make back the amount of passion and experience he invests into all the truffles, caramels, chocolate and fruit pops, barks, amazing hot chocolates, tea blends and more. This ain’t no candy shop y’all! It’s an experience to savor one small bite at a time. Oh and yes, of course highly curated teas by the cup or pot. A peaceful place to take a breath, have a chat or focus for awhile. If you’re fortunate to be there when he’s drawing the truffles you’ll see what I mean.

UPDATE. CLOSED ON THURSDAY. Made a special trip out here from Napa with my family to experience the chocolates again. Sign on the door says they wouldn't open until 2:00, and I and a number of other people, probably totaling about 15 people in total, came and went. It's now 3:00, and the place is still not open. Although I wish it was, I'm going to go back to Napa and hope for a better days.. This boutique chocolate shop reminds me of Chocolatier in Berkeley, and is curated by David, an owner who takes great care in making custom chocolates with delicious and exotic flavors. He also has a selection of chocolates from around the world that exceeds what a normal chocolate retailer would have. Their sipping chocolate, is to die for, and the location is cool, calm, and quiet, and perfect for doing a little bit of reading. While you enjoy some fine chocolate. I recommend this place to lovers of chocolate, and people who have yet to experience a real chocolate adventure.

Its rare to find an artisan chocolatier, rarer still to walk in and find David mixing up the medicine creating the aroma of raspberry delight~ The chocolate is a work of art and the chai flavors are exemplary.
