9th & Larkin

We are just an engineer and an analyst who love and appreciate good chocolate. We enjoy travelling and always seek out the area for good food, good bakeries and especially good chocolate bars. One day, we got curious and wanted to make our own chocolate bars…from scratch…in our small kitchen in San Francisco. We can still vividly remember our first few attempts. Beans, husks and nibs flying in the kitchen, smoke detector went off, bits and pieces of chocolate stains were everywhere, we ruined a number of shirts and lots of kitchen towels, but we succeeded. We made our very own chocolate bar, and it tasted good! And the whole making process was very enjoyable. It felt so zen sitting there, listening to music and removing husks from the roasted beans. (Yes, we did that for a number of batches).
