Closed permanently since June 2020
It was a wild ride running Cadence for 5 years. Closing was not an easy decision, but it was the right one. Making beautiful, delicious chocolates with and for you is something I will always cherish. Thank you for savoring these little delights.
I know I’m not alone in making big, bittersweet changes. I hope they’ve opened space for growth and spectacular newness we can’t even imagine. If you’re struggling with the unknown or challenging, I’ve found repeating this helpful(ish): I’m here today. It’s not forever. I’m doing my best.
Take care, friends.

Cadence Chocolates makes hand-painted chocolates with delicate shells and rich, flavorful ganache centers. Whether you are celebrating something special or want to add decadence to your weeknight dinner, we are here for you. Let's talk.
What makes our chocolates amazing? We're really great at (and not very humble about) vegan chocolates, dreamy abstract designs, and bespoke flavors that capture your imagination and experiences.
BONBON: How we refer to our handcrafted chocolates with thin shells and luscious ganache centers. Also known as truffles.
CADENCE: Rhythm. A nod to musicality and the feeling you get while making bonbons.
CHOCOLATIER: A person that primarily creates confections utilizing chocolate.
GANACHE: A rich filling made from chocolate, cream, and butter at its most basic.
SHELLING: The process of lining chocolate molds with tempered chocolate.
Award-winning Cadence Chocolates are proudly made in San Francisco by Chocolatier Melissa Santos. Our fillings are made with organic cream, coconut cream, and nut butters blended with GMO-free, fair trade chocolate from Guittard (and sometimes Cello, Dandelion, Felchlin, and Valrhona for special occasions). When we're not using dairy, we make the best vegan chocolates you've ever tasted.
Potentially crummy experience?
