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.

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.
