Hi Mark.Actually that was the first thing I did; then I thought I would have too much information without necessarily knowing what was what - I live in Manhattan and I did the same thing. I ended up going to some very odd places!Chocomap is a good way to start, but it is always nice to have some personal feedback - which just made me think about something. It would be nice if chocomap would allow us to add comments to the stores they have listed. Now that would be helpful.

Try www.chocomap.com It's a good place to start.

Not strictly a chocolate shop but one of the best selection of bars on the coast is at Fog City News - Adam Smith is the proprietor.Also check out XOX, Neo Cocoa (Christine Doerr), and Jade (Mindy Fong).

Bittersweet Cafe I have heard is good. I send friends that go to SF there to pick up selections of chocolate bars for me, they always have good things to say about the store. They have a website too.
