Destination truffle cafe with extraordinary chocolates and hot chocolate, tiny space, and polarizing owner interactions.
XOX Truffles earns its A- grade on the strength of silky, expertly crafted truffles and velvety hot chocolate that justify its destination status among chocolate lovers. Reliable quality over years and fair pricing with complimentary truffles reinforce its appeal, though inconsistent owner demeanor and cramped quarters prevent higher recognition. A charming North Beach institution that delivers on its core craft.
One caveat: Service interactions can be polarizing, from warm to brusque
