Landru Chocolates

For my wedding, I ordered 250 truffles for dessert (since my husband is a chocolate pheen). Guests loved the chocolate! and Oscar is a joy to work with. He was kind enough to work within a week to get my special order in.
The home runs were lavennaise, rose marie, and salt & pepper caramel!
Highly recommend Landru chocolates for your events, company promotions, gifts or even personal indulgence!

All these reviews seriously speak to how wonderful this business is —
Not only are the chocolates delicious, but Oscar (owner+ president) is one of the most pleasant people I’ve ever met!

Its a gem hidden in Newark-​Fremont-​Union City area.
Must try chocolates.
Ideal for thoughtful gift.
Worth a visit.

Best chocolates I’ve ever had in my life.
This man should be RICH AND FAMOUS for the extremely great quality, the care taken to make these chocolates by hand and his passion for making chocolates.
A true pleasure meeting Oscar (President) and his AMAZING chocolate creations.
They’re not cheap, as they should be, for the quality. They are a treasure!
The Ferrari of chocolates. :)

Landru Chocolat — Where have you been all my life?
Not being a huge fan of chocolate in general, years ago I managed to get persuaded to jump on the dark chocolate bandwagon. Then came discovering ingredients that bring out exotic bursts of flavor in the chocolate. I’ve had some decent chocolate over the years, but I’m betting it’s minor compared to the tip of the iceberg.
I am a woman who knows what she likes though, and I like what Oscar of Landru Chocolates is selling! I won’t claim insanity when it comes these chocolates. I found my way to the little morsels of decadence at Swirl, our local wine bar. Wine and chocolate are the perfect companions wouldn’t you say?
I’ve only tried 3 types of chocolates but they are winners: Salt & Pepper Toffee (milk chocolate), Salt & Pepper Caramel (dark chocolate) and the Raspberry Truffles.
After falling hard for these, I inquired about placing an order for a party that we were hosting. Because the price would be marked up, the Swirl Facilitator suggested we buy directly from Landru. I emailed Landru for a quote, and then spoke with Oscar about what I wanted and when I needed it. I was relieved to hear the quoted price would be much more reasonable by ordering direct. Very friendly man BTW.
We had to pick up our order, which was okay. The business is located in sort of an industrial neighborhood in Newark. When we arrived, we entered a small space with what looked like mostly a work area and nestled in the corner on his computer was Oscar. He immediately greeted us and I asked, «so this is where the magic happens?» Our order was bagged and ready to go and he gave us a sample of a lavender flavored chocolate. It was different, but good.
The day of our party, I set a dessert table and placed each of the different types of sweet and spicy treasures on cake stands. By the end of the night, our guests ooh’d and aah’d about how good the chocolates were. I also put some away for later. I broke into 1 of the packs when we had company this past weekend, but am saving the rest for a special wine and chocolate moment to come.
I will continue to sample the rest of what is offered at Swirl and won’t hesitate to buy from this business in the future.

Amazing chocolatier in an odd location. Mr. Baile is a soft spoken man who is definitely passionate and proud of his creations. The place is more of a chocolate kitchen /​workshop /​office so don’t expect a fancy setting. The prices are very good considering the quality of the chocolates. The chocolates (salt caramels in particular) and pâté de fruits are fantastic. Definitely a place to visit if you have a sweet tooth. Call ahead if you’re planning to visit.

I have never taken the time to write a review but today I discovered a hidden treasure in Newark CA. I am lover of food, more than food I love chocolate, sweets, desserts. I walked into this little kitchen where chocolate meets the heart a sole of my taste buds. Mr Baile the owner made my visit just a little better, with his kindness and allowing me taste his unique, amazing chocolates. He explained to me how his chocolates are hand made with attention to detail for every chocolate made. These chocolates have won multiple awards and the Pates de Fruits well they are like little fruit heavens. Landru chocolates were also just featured in the magazine Gastronomique En Vogue. It’s a tiny location in the most random little space, but they are truly worth the drive and a visit.

Eatable and award-​winning work of art!
My wife is so impressed with the Peheunche Collection that she admired them in the frig for a few days before she taste them.

I met Oscar at a networking event today! I asked him where are his samples. He told me to come by his office. OH what a treat it was for me. The chocolate was fabulous! I absolutely loved it! They have a great assortment of different chocolates and it taste like a really good quality. Thank You Oscar! I can’t wait to have a occasion to purchase some chocolates!

A coworker was in search of one of a kind truffles to buy for the staff on behalf of our boss. I typed «chocolates in Fremont, CA» and seen their website. It’s not a store, it’s the actual kitchen/​factory. They do sell a box of 12 heart truffles special for Valentines Day that are available to the public.
From the outside the business looks like a hole in the wall in a shady part of old Newark next to an adult bookstore. We weren’t sure what to expect. We were welcomed in by Oscar (very nice man) the owner & soft classical music played in the background. He gave us a sample of a milk chocolate truffle filled with raspberry purée & chocolate ganache that was just to die for. Then we sampled a sugar sprinkled jelly square that he just made exclusively for a store in Europe that is not available to the public yet. All natural ingredients of fruit and wine. The selections are Merlot, White Zinn, Cabernet, and Chardonnay.
They create party favors for weddings, banquets, or put your business name on cookies or chocolates. All you chocolate lovers, give this place a shot.
