Gosanko Chocolate

The chocolate doesn't get any fresher. This is an amazing chocolatier shop and they have just about anything you could want from white, milk and dark chocolate. Always helpful and friendly service. They can do custom orders and gift baskets or boxes as well.

It's a very cute little place to get some sweet treats. But I recommend asking ahead of time about what foods are available before getting excited about ordering. Their breakfast meals are all microwaveable. When my boyfriend and I ordered this young black lady was really rude and forward about an item being out without any substitutes or other suggestions.

This chocolate shop is a hidden treasure in the downtown area of Auburn. Street parking is easy to find, in addition to the small lot they have. The shop is right next to the factory, which is obvious since the place radiates of chocolate.

Many of the chocolates are truffles, in many different flavors and variations. I'm a dark chocolate fan, so was able to find many options, like mint patties and salted caramels. But my favorite of the loot I bought were the peanut butter cups. They are much bigger than Reese's, and overly-filled with peanut butter! Once you eat one you've had your chocolate fix; it was hard for me to finish just one cup. They also have fudge in yummy flavors like red velvet, mint chocolate chip, etc... And, they even make dog treats, which I of course, appreciated. I learned that the owner, who was very friendly, is a fellow dog-lover; so I may be biased, but pretty sure he and Gosanko can be trusted.

Great selection of truffles, chocolate creams, caramels, and shaped chocolates (lips, computers, tulips, fish, tool... you name it!) all year round with ice cream in the summer.

They will be participating in the Auburn Farmers Market and are a stop on this week's Passport event.

We frequent the store about once a month and they never fail to impress!

I really need to change my rating, after having been gifted another box. A solid value, and again, they're very beautiful.

The fudge selection is creative, but my favorite is the caramel chocolate sea salt-amazing!
The service here is always so friendly and efficient. The store is clean and well organized.

Am I spoiled coming from San Francisco or did I just get charged tourist fees? I got 4 truffles and was charged $11. Seems overpriced and wasn't better than See's Candies which is reasonably priced.

Arg. Trying to delete this review. Realized I went to a different store called Gosanko Chocolate in Pike Place at 1906 Post Alley. Don't know if they are related.

I was having a rough day and told my husband about it. He remembered that I wanted to try your chocolates, so when he got home he surprised me with a box of truffles. Oh my goodness these are the best I have ever had!! I can't wait to refer my friends and bring my family when they visit!

I was having a terrible day and wanted to find some chocolate covered kettle corn. Gosanko's has it sometimes, but at this time they only had other kettle corn choices. I was a little disappointed, but the gal behind the counter offered me a free sample of fudge, and who doesn't like that? I had one of the Rocky Road, which was AMAZING! She also let me have one of the Root Beer flavored one, which was also good.

I mentioned to my friend "I'm really thirsty now, that was rich!" The gal behind the counter said, "I can getcha a glass of milk if you'd like!" I accepted, and she didn't charge me for it! The fact she offered me milk instead of saying "We have drinks for sale" was going the extra mile. I'm a raving fan!

My mom gave me 2 oz. of the gourmet solid dark chocolate "traditional light" shaped like a Christmas light that she got as a party favor at a DAR meeting (her friend took her as her "plus one.")

I ate all 2 oz. yesterday while working from home on paperwork I didn't want to be doing. With that delicious chocolate I was "feeling no pain." It was completely yummy and very medicinal. Highly recommend!
