Mama Ganache Artisan Chocolates

Wow!!! What a great find. We decided to pop our heads in after a long journey from Yosemite. We got to see how their chocolate was made and sample a few too. This place has a very whimsical boutique feel to it. We tried the chocolate shakes and added malt ! Heavenly. The service was so wonderful too. I don’t know the name of the nice lady who worked behind the counter but she was a total doll. Will definitely come back the next time I’m heading up north from LA!

Whenever I’m in SLO for a conference this is my first stop! I absolutely love the dark chocolate almond bark… delish! Man, I wish I lived closer!

What a charming chocolate shop. Right on Monterey, with easy access and just down and up the street from a variety of eateries. So it is chocolate for dessert for sure. Rather than rave on about the chocolate, which would be so easy, I will say I also loved the comfy couch to sit upon and enjoy the art all over the walls while nibbling on you know what. A good place for the chocolate fix, and also a wonderful place for gifts of that special substance!

The chocolates are to die for — expensive but soooo good. We get four at a time, halve, and savor. These are the fine wines of the chocolate world, meant to be slowly enjoyed rather than gulped. All that AND they make the best milkshake in town, with a variety of flavors you can add to your base. My favorite is an orange chocolate shake, and the folks who work there are sweet enough to make a half-​size for me. Highly recommended! Love the paper straws too. :)

I’ve only purchased Mama Ganache’s unsweetened fair trade & organic cocoa liquor online, so this negative review is ONLY in regards to this particular product. It is by far the worst tasting unsweetened chocolate that I’ve ever tried. I bought both liquor discs and breaker bars — both taste chalky, bland, and unusable in my opinion. Unless something’s changed, don’t waste your time with these.

Chocoholic heaven. Friendly, informative staff. Delicious chocolates. Fantastic that they are organic and fair trade. I bought several different ones. Love the darkest chocolate. They even have Stevia sweetened and it was great. In fact, they all tasted great. Bit pricey for me to indulge often, but will definitely go again as a treat. Much better than See’s or those touristy candy shops with sugar fudge.

Oh man. Ohhhhh man. These chocolates, you guys.
Everything that I have tasted in this shop has been nothing short of delicious. Like, holy crap flavor explosion in my mouth, let me close my eyes for a second to savor this. That kind of delicious. The truffles in particular are amazing — so smooth and rich! They come in such a wide variety of flavors that there is sure to be an option to please any palate, whether you’re adventurous and want some chili in your chocolate, or you’re a little more timid and prefer your chocolate to only taste like chocolate (but also you kind of suck a little bit if you’re the latter sort of human because really, try some new things every once in a while).
These things are not by any means cheap, but they are so satisfying that you don’t really need to eat more than one or two (or three, or four, or however many your wallet wants to accommodate — I’m not your mom). They also have a huge selection of vegan options which are just as good as the normal animal-​product ones. They even offer vegan milkshakes, if you’re into that sort of thing (not for me, but certain picky family members might enjoy knowing about this).
The staff is also almost unbearably pleasant and helpful. I recently made a fairly large order for a work event, and the woman who helped me suggested a great variety of treats that would be tasty, non-​threatening, and look great in a gift box. I was an idiot and did not call in our order ahead of time (because planning is maaaaybe not my strong suit?), but she was super obliging and got my whole order together in like 15 minutes.
A+ customer service, A+ product. It would be very easy to make a habit of visiting this shop, and it would almost be worth becoming as fat as a (very content) house.

Gf and I got to SLO and walked around after eating at Splash Café and wanted some chocolate. Luckily we walked by Mama Ganache and grabbed a couple truffles and was very pleased. Ingredients were all organic or local and would love to come back if we end up back in SLO.

Love the interior design and the homey feel of this vegan chocolate store. Cute place with delicious chocolates, rich in flavor and made with care and high quality products. Nice place to stay to enjoy a piece of chocolate or even a smoothie!

Very nice place and friendly service. Delicious fudge!

I love Sweet Earth Chocolates! I get stuff from there all the time. They even make the most delicious hot chocolates and milkshakes (chocolate of course ;-)) Treat yourself and sit on their comfy couch and enjoy some high quality chocolate.

Not a fan. Just simply did not like their chocolate itself. It has a weird tangy taste to it. We also tried a few treats and not one of us liked what we got.

OMG! Great dark chocolate almond bark… a must for a weekly, if not twice weekly trip… I can not live without it and have made sure to purchase some before trips. Cute store, great staff, yummy food.

I have been to Sweet Earth Chocolates a handful of times and loved it. The customer service is wonderful and the products are delicious. I also loved reading about how the owners have followed their passion for making chocolate by opening this store. I live in Morro Bay but I will always stop in when I’m in San Luis Obispo.

Walked by the new location after Farmers and fell in love. A chocolate store? Almost like Willy Wonka. The woman who helped was really nice, offered a sample and I bought a mini chai chocolate coin that tasted just like a chai latte. Hmm

Not all chocolate is created equal. In fact, there’s probably more bad chocolate out there than good. And a lot of it masquerades in fancy stores under titles like «gourmet» and «European» just waiting to disappoint you.
Sweet Earth single handedly puts all those places to shame, offering up all kinds of chocolate confections from amazing peanut butter cups to deliciously creative truffles (admittedly my favorite is the simple champagne truffle) in a decidedly unpretentious, warm and friendly shop. Whenever we drive through town, we never miss it. It’s so obvious that these guys really care about making great chocolate.
Cold day tip: try the hot chocolate – I swear, it warms your soul. I always pick up a bag of their spicy hot chocolate to make at home.
Hot day tip: vegan chocolate milkshake! Ridiculously delicious.

I love chocolate so I love this place. Every time I’m in the area I make sure I stop by Sweet Earth Chocolates and get my fix.
My fave is the spicy chocolate, yummy. I love ordering a hot drink & just relaxing there, enjoying the aroma=)
This this sweet place is also consciously cool, cares for the planet!

friendly service and an excellent selection of truffles. i choose ginger/​cardammon, café au lait, champange, pinot noir and sea salt carmels.
all were tasty, except the ginger was a bit overpowering. i would probably also skip this place for espresso drinks as they just have a *residential* espresso machine.
great place to pick up gifts for the chocolate lover in your life with a remarkable selection of flavors and types (truffles, bars, fondant, smores etc.)
tasty VEGAN truffles as well!
truffles are $ 2 a piece, which is about spot on for quality chocolate

Delicious. Inventive. Mouth-​watering. FANTASTIC!
I’m surprised at the low reviews Sweet Earth got on Unilocal… in my opinion it’s the best chocolate in SLO! Yes, it is expensive, but it’s local, organic and fair trade. The other shops selling similar goodies in SLO aren’t organic or fair trade so if you’re comparing prices that’s like comparing tomatoes and kumquats.
Everything I’ve tried here is delicious and I have not been let down. I would definitely recommend these chocolates for yourself or as a gift!

This place reminds me of one of those toys where the packaging from the outside is great. but after you go inside and unwrap the experience, it sucks. I ordered an aztec mocha.
It tasted interesting to say the least.
But it was served with a paper straw. Do you know what happens when paper straws enter mocha? It loses ALL structural integrity and becomes a pain in the ass. It was a cute gesture but not very practical.
