Frogs & lily pads

Founded in 2018 by chocolatier Carol Gancia, SF-based Kokak Chocolates is named after the Tagalog word for the sound frogs make. In keeping with this theme, some of their chocolates are shaped like frogs and the lily pads they perch on. Their flavors are mostly Southeast Asian ones like mango and passion fruit.

Their Castro district storefront opened in July 2020 and sells coffee, tea, and chocolate drinks, in addition to baked goods. They will be offering their chocolates again online and at their café soon.

CBTB Tip:

For now, order online for pickup. Check their website for expanded offerings in the future.
