The best confectioners San Francisco & Bay Area

Caramels, chocolates, réglisses, in a world of pastel colours. This is what Miette offers the visitor happy to return to childhood for a moment while he chooses his favourite candy. Flower tapestry, green anise and pale pink and many, many glass boxes filled with sweets await you. Don't delay, if only for the pleasure of eyes.

Giant pacifiers welcome you from the entrance to this little Russian Hill confectionery. We want everything without saying that in the end it really is the giant pacifiers that one would like to test.

In 1997, after years in the test kitchen, Michael founded Recchiuti Confections in partnership with his wife, Jacky. They arrange their delicate Recchiuti filled chocolate squares like little jewels in a glass case. Their famous Caramel à la fleur de sel, with a whisky aftertaste, is the most requested flavor... The Recchiuti team proudly asserts that they always source local herbs, such as lavender and lemon verbena, from California farmers' markets and blend them into their chocolates. A real treat!

California's most famous confectioner. The company moved from Canada to Los Angeles in 1921, to San Francisco in 1936. Four stores in San Francisco where you can compose your own box of sweets. A few extra calories for you or/and a few small gourmet gifts to bring back... Memories every time! For the record, in 1994 a driver delivering a chocolate order fell asleep while his truck was hooked up to one of the vats and was pumping, so that El Camino Real and Spruce Avenue next door were flooded with chocolate!
