This December, we’re excited to bring you the fourth annual 12 Nights of Chocolate—our yearly sweet and savory celebration of all things chocolate. Each year, we invite chefs to take our single origin, two-ingredient chocolate and “run with it”. We provide no guidelines or restrictions (other than using our chocolate), and they are given free reign to do as they please. The evenings, hosted in our café, range from a seven-course tasting menu—both sweet and savory—to a family-style brunch after dark, with cocktails. All proceeds go to benefit the SF-Marin Food Bank, which distributes three meals for every dollar raised. Last year, we were able to raise enough for over 60,000 meals, and we’re hoping to raise even more this year.
A donation bin will be located just inside our cafe for the duration of the series. Stop by to drop off cans and non-perishable food anytime during this holiday series.
