Food, chocolate, & art

The Velvet Raven opened in 2019 by chocolatier Basel Bazlamit and a partner, is a café/wine bar/chocolate shop in SF’s South Park neighborhood. They sell Basel B Inc. chocolates: his signature 85% cacao truffles, molded chocolates, and dipped chocolates, plus special treats. The line of chocolates feature what seems like the widest array of unique and vintage molds in SFBA.
