Out of this world, full of flavor, the best truffle I’ve ever tried.

Wow is it a hole in the wall. Stopped by last Tuesday and met the son of Diane! he was a really nice and helpful man. The store is really small, don't expect seeing chocolatiers expertly tempering anything! Diane's son i'm so sorry for forgetting your name but you were so nice!!! We bought the caramel melts, the hot chocolate powder, the mixed teddy bear snacks, and the small cube truffles. Caramel melts are really good, and the hot chocolate powder isn't overly sweet. Mixed teddy bear snacks are from milk dark and white chocolate -- honestly didn't care for it. The truffles easily melt in the mouth but have this little alcoholic aftertaste i personally don't vibe with. We also got the hazelnut truffles and THOSE i could eat in one sitting!! Out of everything we bought, i would get the hazelnut truffles again :) overall, a nice place to get a fancy gift for yourself or a loved one! I'm definitely returning to buy chocolate as graduation gifts for my friends

Beautifully packaged and expertly made chocolate. Great for gifts when you travel or just enjoy a bar. Either way these confectionery curiosities will have you moaning in ecstasy! If you haven't had an orgasm with someone else in months ( maybe years). Then you definitely need to treat yourself to some of the finest chocolates in town !

WARNING: K truffles contain ALCOHOL The K truffles are good but had a faint alcohol flavor so I searched online for the ingredient list and was not able to find it. I ended up calling the store to ask and was told that it had rum in it. They really should warn their customers of the alcohol in their truffles. Unfortunately I let my son have some before I called and asked since they never mentioned the rum when I bought it. The lady that answered the phone was Diane and she was very matter of fact and not apologetic at all about the fact that my son had unknowingly consumed alcohol because they failed to inform us. She just said that they're not required to since they are a small store.

not the largest selection but the chocolates are well made. i wish they sold more individual or smaller sets. the truffle melts in your mouth but the bars are a bit too sweet and thick. the liquid center chocolates are a good idea but not my taste. the service was a bit stiff and they did not seem excited to explain or answer any questions. the store is clean and nice but not too big.

specialized service, best chocolate in the country and cost is not that bad! If you want a top notch gift, here is the place to go. Diane is really sweet and helpful. They have a great selection of gifts, candies and chocolate. It's a small location but its filled with goodness.

My husband and I along with our good friends were celebrating my birthday this past Sunday. We spent the afternoon in Malibu and I wanted to buy our friends some krön chocolate as a thank you. It's a very tiny store that can only fit maybe 4 people maximum. It felt very claustrophobic. The young gal working behind the counter greeted us, but that's where the niceties ended. I said I have Celiac and asked if anything was gluten free. She said the truffles they were sampling were, and after I ate one she said "well, um..maybe not. But I dunno. But I don't know why a truffle would have gluten." Ok...now I'm livid. I explained this is a serious allergy, not a preference and I'm going to be sick because of her error. Out of curiosity about the extent of her incompetence, I asked if anything in the store was actually gluten free. She said she was sure everything else was. I double checked their website which doesn't list any ingredients or allergen information. I was so upset by this point that I wanted to pay and leave. My husband and friends stepped outside and the gal asks me "are those your parents?" Meaning our friends. They most certainly don't look like I could be their child. And even if I was, that was inappropriate to ask. Not long after, I became very ill and had to immediately be taken home. I spent the following day in bed, very weak and completely incapacitated. Thank goodness it wasn't bad enough to go to the ER, but that's not how I wanted to spend my birthday.

We stopped by on our last day in town, and was pleasantly surprised. It is located in an area of upscale clothing and shops. The person behind the counter was VERY friendly and NOT at all pushy!!! Unlike many of the other people we encountered in different shops, she treated us as potential customers and not as tourists. She encouraged us to try her truffle samples and to "take as much as you'd like". Well we did try those truffles which tasted delicious and just melted in your mouth. We also found some Patron tequila choc balls, some scotch and also Vodka choc balls. She had me at tequila! While they were a little pricy, not unreasonable for a Chocolatier in one of these shops! A must stop for a chocolate fan!

K Chocolatier has been in its little shoebox-sized store on Little Santa Monica forever, with idiosyncratic hours (often open from just 1 to 5 PM, closed Saturdays as proprietress Diane Krön is Orthodox Jewish). The selection is not huge, but she makes certain things I wouldn't try to get anywhere else ― specifically, her alcohol "shots," little balls of dark chocolate with straight hits of vodka, tequila, or scotch. Yes, other places do liqueur balls: Swiss chocolatier Teuscher just down Camden makes nearly the same thing, only with Calvados, Poire Williams, Grand Marnier, etc. But when gifting for the person who likes a more proletarian tipple, Ms. Krön's versions are spot-on perfect. Plus, they make a great gift to delight those folks who already have more than enough Patrón or Chopin bottles to last a lifetime.Other offerings include simple truffles, some items (ginger, orange peel, etc.) dipped in chocolate, cute little puffed rice teddy bears, and my favorite, her delicate Pecan Krisps that are paper-thin and enrobed in semi-sweet dark chocolate. Everything from the look of the candies to the packaging has a sort of modernist, minimalist feel to it. K Chocolatier makes for a great alternative to the traditional Belgian or Swiss chocolate options of precious jewel box candies without falling into the avant garde cardamom-bacon-praliné-shaped-like-a-human-skull weirdness one finds at many "artisanal" chocolatiers. Just cross your fingers you get there when it's actually open.

Absolutely delicious and out of this world chocolates. Perfect for gifting and for serving over the holidays. The selection is amazing and plentiful. Definitely check out their store, it's so worth it for those divine chocolates creations.
