About - Artisanal Chocolates

Meet Iris

Iris’s love of chocolate started at a very young age, but it wasn’t until 2015 that she decided to leave traditional pursuits behind and set out to explore the fascinating world of chocolate-making. After graduating from Ecole Chocolate’s Chocolatier program, Iris started experimenting with bold flavors and vibrant colors, and before too long, Iris Delights was born.

“My favorite thing is watching someone try one of my chocolates for the first time. The expression on their face is priceless, and it’s why I do what I do.” – Iris Meyers

Iris lives in San Diego, CA, and has a background in Computer Science, Business Management, and Life Coaching.

What Our Customers Say

					I tried 4 different chocolates, sharing with a friend. We loved all flavors, each is nicely balanced.
Passion fruit was tangy. Caramel was smooth, no bitterness. Hazelnut has a little crunch.... read more Mint was decorated with shamrocks and quite refreshing.

					Not a large selection, but my wife loves the choices as a gift. Customer service was great; the young lady at the counter was helpful and very nice.

The catchy decor caught my eye and I decided to go... read more in.  I was extremely delighted to learn EVERYTHING in the shops is gluten free and they have a couple vegan options as well.  I love chocolate and a severe gluten intolerance so finding this place was meant to be.  The owner has a gluten intolerance and the staff was very knowledgable about any other allergens.  The chocolate is neatly presented in a case where all the ingredients are clearly marked.  The designs are stunning and the taste is by far the best I've had in San Diego.  The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the chocolate.  I ordered some right away for my mother who has celiac and lives in Colorado.  Iris contacted me directly and answered my questions about shipping.  She even gave me some recommendations for other gluten free bakeries!  My mother was astonished at the design and taste of the chocolates and loved being able to enjoy them, without the concern of being glutened.  I will definitely be returning for their seasonal Fall flavors.

The space is cool, clean and inviting, and the phrase "eye candy" is absolutely pun intended. Every piece of luscious chocolate is beautifully molded and brilliantly decorated. There's an extensive range of flavors from predictable (caramel) to super creative (wasabi ganache).



There are a couple of tiny tables if you want to sit and wait for a friend.  I enjoyed chatting with the counter staff about how the chocolates are made (complex) and the other gluten free snacks, like cookies, that are available. If you're looking for a gift or treating yourself to something special, this is a great place to go.
