      Still my favorite chocolate truffles!

      In this whole in the wall place that has nowhere to sit and drink your coffee you'll find amazing chocolate truffles.

      You want boozy chocolate? They have it. You want regular flavors like strawberry and caramel? They have that too.

      Came here before a Yelp event and ended up eating and ordering 10 truffles.

      Ate them like potato chips.

      They sell coffee amd beverages here too in case you get thirsty. And yes, you can get a huge chocolate box to go for parties.

      One of the best stores in the Bay Area!

      Five stars is right! We dropped in because my daughter wanted a coffee but when I saw the truffles I HAD to get some.

      I must say, they were the best dang truffles I have had. The Raspberry were particularly delicious.

      We did get a large box and chose multiple different flavors which all went in the same box. Honestly, since they all look exactly alike, I recommend seeing if they can put them in separate smaller boxes or something. Grabbing one to eat was always a surprise flavor.

      Quality truffles and the coffee was particularly good also.

      Extremely rude behavior directed from the owner of this business! I would not provide them with a single cent, especially when there are a number of WAY BETTER truffle locations in the Bay Area!

      I found a hair in my truffles! Never ordering from this place again! Should be shut down for sanitary reasons.

      BIPOC-owned homemade truffle spot in the Castro -

      I was on the hunt for gorgeous chocolates for my adopted mom here in San Francisco and decided to give Five Star Truffles a visit.

      I was greeted with a smile by Santo when I arrived and was impressed by the variety of Truffles. I ended up going with a variety of the non-liquor kind and got a Grand Marnier one for me for the road.

      The box is super cute and, honestly, you will not find a better price and value for chocolates here in the city. Give them a try!

      Go support this local business. Santos Euan has been running the solo show for 17+ years!! If that's not dedication I don't know what it is. His truffles are very tasty. Maybe not the same type as you expect from a high end French shop but it's still pretty decent. The truffle deserves 4 starts and his dedication brings it up to 5 stars. You can also order online and have it shipped to you or your loved ones.

      Firs the things I like. They have a nice selection of truffles, they are reasonably priced (actually, pretty cheap for truffles), and the person who helped us was very nice.

      But as far as the truffles, they were just okay. "Three Star Truffle Co" would be a better name IMHO. The flavor of the chocolate was too mild for me (I prefer darker chocolates), and the truffle I tasted that was flavored (bourbon) was way too mild--and I like my chocolates lightly flavored (if at all).

      But people look for different things when it comes to chocolate, so this is worth a stop if you have a hankering.

      Just discovered this hidden gem in my neighborhood. Got the smallest box with 10 truffles and a hot chocolate which comes with a free truffle. The hot chocolate was yummy and nice for the cold SF day. For my free truffle I got the dark chocolate which they said is a best seller. For the flavors in the box I got peanut butter, caramel sea salt and hazelnut. All were delicious, though I think my favorite one was the caramel. Will definitely be back!

      This place is wonderful! These truffles melt in your mouth. Dangerously good. All the flavors are tasty but I especially like the spicy bite in the Mexican chocolate truffle.
