Leonidas Love + Chocolate - Oakland

Great chocolate, however, I felt like the staff as well as the other people in there were getting annoyed with me just for doing some holiday shopping. Not very friendly vibe in general, chocolate made up for it, but customer service skills could use some work.

Friendly staff, a little pricey but excellent quality. It's a small store but has a good variety as well including some vegan options. Only problem is there's basically no parking so you'll have to park in the neighborhood around the corner.

Love + Chocolate is my go to place for quality chocolate and gifts. Every time I go in, the staff are wonderful and helpful. My favorites are the shortbread, milk chocolate bars, and the wide assortment of individual milk and white chocolates you can select for a box. I am a regular here and I am so grateful they are in the neighborhood.

So many cool things here. I got an orange peel, some blue chocolate I never heard of, and even got free samples. The young lady who was there found a work around with the system down and found a solution. Overall, its a pretty sweet spot. If your in the area, stop by, the prices are good for what you get.

This is a wonderful little shop. We stopped in, got a box of chocolates and had them sent to Houston. Our family was over-the-top delighted. The whole experience was wonderful and the name of the shop is perfect. If you didn’t know, Leónidas was the king of Sparta who with 300 Spartans defeated Xerxes at Thermopylae, and saved western civilization for all of us today. Go little shop!
