An amazing chocolate place but at the same time, they have some awesome macarons and cupcake as well. My friend got my dad some macarons from here before which he really like so since Im in Sacramento for the weekend I decides to come here to get him some to go. You basically have to park on the street and walk to this shop. When we got there, there was about 2 group in front of us but then like 5 minutes later, there was a like 6 group behind us. They only allow 2 party inside due to covid so that also plays a factor on the line. There are so many options of chocolates, macaron, cupcakes and even hot chocolate to select from. So I got some almond vanilla, chocolate Ganache, pineapple upside down and pistachio. My fiancΓ©e got their hot chocolate and also a chocolate chip cookies. Everything was very delicious and I can see why they are very popular.

****UPDATE**** The owner, Ginger, called me personally to resolve the issue and she was WONDERFUL. I am more than happy to say that I am once again a customer. They have fantastic desserts and this was the only issue I ever had. I am confident it will not happen again.........Original complaint: They overcharged me and lied about it. When I brought it to their attention they have been rude and unprofessional. Theyve dismissed me and been condescending. Deleted comments on their social media and blocked me from exposing them!!! DO NOT GO TO THEM

Normally we have have very good service and experience. We waited in line for a while with the kids. Went for ice cream and they gave it to the folks behind us before we entered the store. Whats the point of the line? The folks behind us didnt even do an online order.

Review β„–23

Such a wonderful place and unique chocolates. Ice cream is like no other. Staff is very friendly. Only allowed 2 people in the store in at a time so that was very time consuming. Especially since I just had a order to pick up. I already ordered on line and paid but still has to wait in line 20 minutes. That is ready my only complainant

Ginger Elizabeth is by far the best chocolatier in NorCal. GE has three foundations: first is the superior quality of the product; second is some of the very best customer service in Sacramento; and finally the variety of offerings ensures everyone can find something enjoyable.

The best hot chocolate you can get in the continental United States is at Ginger Elizabeth! My wife and I pick it up every chance we get and, as tradition, every year on our anniversary. Its so incredibly good! I just wish there was a store closer than Sacramento.

Review β„–28

Absolutely delicious! This is where I buy most of my gifts. You can actually taste the flavors of the chocolate versus only tasting one ingredient,- sugar. The staff are also very polite. Last time I went in, Maya helped me and even offered me a complimentary Halloween macaroon.

This place has some very high quality desserts. Chocolate cakes are amazingly delicious and so are the macaroons. It smells great right when you walk in. It is a small place on the inside though with a few tables for seating, and has a few extra tables/chairs outside too. Depending on what time you go, it might be full.

I just love desserts, especially well-made desserts! Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates is a great place to come for well-made desserts. From their macaroons to rich chocolate dessert, everything was amazing. It is a tiny place with some seating inside and outside, clean design and attentive service. I even considered getting a job there... Maybe next time...

Seasonal flavors for bonbons, ice cream, and macarons. Ice cream sandwiches (summer only) are ice cream layered between macarons.COVID extras: Theyre limited to two customers at a time in shop, and extra plexi barriers, thank you for keeping us all safe!

I usually have a great experience at Ginger Elizabeth. Today was a far cry from their usual service. I asked whether they had the frozen hot chocolate. Reply: We havent had that in a long time. Long time. I know Ive had it pre pandemic. Suffice it to say a disappointment.

Best chocolate confectionery in Sacramento! Traditional hand crafted chocolates in an assortment of normal flavors, such as rasberry, mint, and caramel, you can have Earl Grey or Fleur de Sel. Perfect for your sweetheart!They also carry macaroons, hot chocolate, cookies, and layered chocolate deserts.But wait, theres more! Seasonal items for Christmas, Easter, and Summer, plus intermittent experiments like cupcakes.Ginger sources all her ingredients from sustainable sources and everything is made with loving care and the staff are in uniform. No indifferent bottom rung barista types, only staff who love to sell chocolate.

Best place in Sacramento for both chocolates and macaroons. They are experts at what they do and they do it deliciously. They offer milk and dark chocolate along with amazing drinking chocolate and other delightful confections. Definitely for a more developed palate, this is not a kids candy shop.

Ginger Elizabeths always has great products. The service is friendly and fast. Prices are responsible for such fine chocolates. Everything there is fantastic. They are featured on Good Day Sacramento all the time. Beyond the amazing chocolates and macaroons. Take the time to try the hot chocolate and home made marshmallows. You wont be disappointed.

Review β„–64

This is one of my favorite places for desserts. They are a bit on the higher end for pricing. (about $2.00 per macaroon or individual piece of chocolate). They are so worth it. I go there at least 1-2 times per year to treat myself. If you are there in the winter, the hot chocolate is amazing. They do fantastic cakes as well.

This place is no joke. Best chocolate Ive had in Sacramento. We tried 6 different pieces of chocolate and they all were amazing. The dark chocolate with olive oil and sea salt was my favorite. Theres seating available outside which allows you to people watch while you eat. So good.

This place serves phenomenally delicious and creative ice cream sundaes for its monthly socials in the summer. More regularly offered, its gianduja is light with strong flavor, and the macarons are delightfully airy. And Ginger works so hard!

Review β„–67

Cozy, bright, clean place with hot chocolate, macarons, cookies, truffles, some gifts (like smaller cookies, gift boxes, and powdered chocolate). The classic American hot chocolate is super rich, and the whipped cream tastes like the real deal, super thick. Would definitely go back! Theres a couple countertop spaces but otherwise the place is pretty small so its not a cafe by any means

Review β„–68

Best chocolatier in town, Ginger Elizabeth Hahn makes the most amazing chocolate bonbons, macaroons and pralines. Her products make great gifts for out-of-state family who still think Sacramento is a cow town. Having her shop conveniently located right in Midtown is a plus, the selection is good, prices fair and Ginger Elizabeth has a very impressive resume including NYC, Chicago and Napa Valley. Not everyone understands cocoa butter the way she does. Do yourself and favor and come on in. I have to practise restraint - not.

Review β„–73

I was highly discriminated against for my medical condition when I came in to purchase from your store. According to California Civil Code - CIV Section 51, businesses cannot discriminate against my medical condition. I know your store is trying to comply but the mask order is a guidance, not a law. The guidance has a exemption section, but they choose to complete ignore that and discriminated against me.Great chocolates, terrible service!!

This bakery has the best macarons and deserts I have had in Sacramento. They do a good job making deserts. You may also order in advance if you want something to go; we ordered a small birthday cake to go. The menu is on their website to order.The place is a little small but employees are efficient in moving the crowd. There are also a few tables inside and outside.I come here every time I visit mid town Sacramento.

Review β„–78

While i would normally give Ginger Elizabeth a 5 star....today it is a 2. I ordered online 36 hours ago....for a 3 pm pick up. Had to wait in line 30 min to pick up. Then they did not have my order ready.....for the 2nd time in a row. Then the May boxes I ordered....well they ran out of the apricot macaron.....well too bad. So a couple things....1) the apricot is what the person i bought this for was wanting the most. 2) since i already paid, i couldnt get a refund. 3) Your price point is on par for what you do (well worth it)but I cant keep buying stuff when it gets messed up.I know it is so different with COVID but still. Love you guys but twice in a row..... gotta figure something out.

Review β„–79

The place is clean, smells fantastic...eyes and nose are delighted in this place but I dont give it 5 stars because the treats are super sweet, sugar overpower the flavors... I wanted to taste all the great combinations she makes but I only remember the sugary flavor in my mouth, even my kids didnt want to finish their treat and were desperate for water.

My daughter ordered me a box of their chocolates online for my birthday and paid extra to have them shipped. When I opened them they were all melted together. I called the store in Sacramento and they told me they couldn’t do anything since it was an online order and told me to email them, which I did. Never got a reply. Guess they don’t take care of their customers.

Review β„–83

Amazing macaroons in more variety of flavors than Ive seen before. Theyre super soft sand very sweet, but flavorful. They were baking cookies when I was there and they smelled amazing. They also sell a variety of fudge. Very nice presentation that is sure to impress. Great service but no samples like Sees.

Review β„–84

The best chocolate ice cream I ever had. When it melted, it stayed solid. Now THAT is creamy. The chocolates were good of course. You can tell that everything is made with a lot of care. The prices are high, but the ice cream is definitely worth every penny. As for the chocolates, they are a bit overpriced but if you care a lot about how much care is put into your chocolate, you would probably think that they too are worth the price.

Review β„–85

Cute chocolate shop. They were pretty busy when I arrived but the staff was still quick to help me out. They were friendly and made the entire shopping experience pleasant. The macarons I purchased were a gift but I’m sure they must have been delicious because the person I bought them for ate it all within the day!

I just tried them for the first time. Im at home during quarantine and had a sweet tooth so I decided to check doordash for desserts and they popped up. They are SOOOOOOO good!!!!! Best cupcakes Ive ever had in my life. The Almond Roca cupcake had some kind of filling, which I was nervous about because I dont typically like fillings, but it was delicious!! The Salted Caramel cupcake was also amazing!

Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates are worth the money. Yes these confections do cost more than Hersheys chocolates. They cost more than Whitmans chocolates. They are made of rare, wonderful, fresh,exquisite ingredients. If you think Ginger Elizabeth is over priced, find a quite place and do a side by side comparison. You will see the value if you let yourself actually taste it.We used to have to drive to San Francisco to get exquisite chocolates, now we have them right here in Sacramento. Support this business!

The finest chocolatiers in all of Sacramento. Everything they touch is wonderful. Space is small and cozy / cramped. Items are very pricey. Quality is through the roof. They make everything from scratch and you can taste it. Whether its the ice cream, jams and preserves, truffles, cookies, chocolates or marshmallow its sublime. Staff are very friendly and can help you navigate the delicious yet overwhelming array of choices.Atmosphere 4/5Staff 5/5Chocolate 5/5

There is something for every occasion.
