Excellent! Worth every penny. The instructor was knowledgeable and helpful. Worked for beginners and those with more experience. Marilyn M. 5* Product Review (Macaron Making) 8/6/2022
Such a great find! A gem! Took the macarons class in the morning and signed up to take the ganache an piping class in the afternoon. It was an AMAZING day! Chef D is a wealth of information, great teacher, and her staff if fanatic! Looking forward to many more workshops. Chef D thank you for sharing your knowledge! Jana S. 5* Google Review 8/2022
Best hidden gem in the North County area! Tucked away in Lake San Marcos, this place is amazing. Reputable bakers especially coming from Le Cordon Bleu! Best Berry Tarts I ever had! Chocolate is smooth and decadent. I've gotten compliments when taking them to family events. Always a favorite! Fey T. 5* Yelp Review 7/12/22

​So fun! It was a small class with easy instructions! I'm not baker at all so this was a great introductory session! Staff were super nice and answered all our questions about the complexities and nuances of baking! Will definitely attend another class! Shaina N. 5* Product Review (Tart Making) 7/23/22

Hands-on, simple, delicious! I loved the table-to-table demonstrations by Chef D. Clear, we’ll articulated instruction for any age! Bravo! 5* Product Review (Chocolate Making: Ganache & Piping) 6/11/2022

​I took this class with my mom and sister for her birthday. We had a lovely time! I'm so glad I found this place. I can't wait to come back from brunch and treats. The chocolate is amazing! Jennifer S. 5* Product Review (Chocolate Making: Ganache & Piping) 3/4/2022

We had the BEST time at our daughter’s 12th birthday party! From start to finish, the team at D’liteful made sure every detail was perfect. The chocolate making class was unique and fun for all and the afternoon tea was a perfect way to end the celebration! I would highly recommend D’liteful for all your party needs. Dayleen and her skilled staff are truly wonderful and we will remember this party for many years to come. Thank you for a PERFECT day!! Leigh C. 5* Google Review (Kid's Party) 04/2022
What can I say???? Wow and more wow to Chef D, Whitney and Nathan for this extra special class on Ganache. It was a totally fun class with new skills and a better understanding of Chocolate to our beautiful and edible finished product!!!
I proudly brought home my sweet and beautiful box of Ganache filled chocolates with varied scrumptious toppings directly to hubby. I felt like a proud child sharing what I accomplished to a parent!!! Renee L. 5* Product Review (Chocolate Making: Ganache & Piping) 9/04/21
I have ordered a few cakes from them and they have been beautiful and delicious!! The pastries are awesome. The reason I am leaving a review is because my 9 year old had an amazing time at the kids baking class. She is so shy and when she comes home with professional looking chocolates and a big smile, I
am happy. Thank you Dayleen!! Jennifer W. San Marcos, CA 5* Yelp Review (Cakes & Kid's Class) 11/7/20
Loved the assortment that came in the box! Our family of 5 enjoyed a tasting of everything over 2 nights and there was plenty to go around. It was nice to get a taste of decadence during this uncertain time. Sandra P. San Marcos, CA 5* Product Review (D'liteful Club) 7/8/20
I can't recommend this wonderful little chocolate shop enough. Dayleen and her staff are always so kind and professional, and the chocolates (and everything else I've tried) are absolutely amazing! I ordered ten wine bottle hangar gift boxes online for my clients, and they were ready next-day for pick up. The entire process was easy from start to finish, and my clients couldn't have been happier with them.
When you're in the mood to treat yourself, or are in need of a gift, do yourself a favor and give D'liteful Chocolat a try, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Matt M., San Marcos, CA 5* Product Review (Wine Hangers) 6/1/20
What an incredible delicious little place! Full of fun, delicious and adorable treats!! The owner was so kind and explained all of the details of each sweet and you taste all the little details in every bite! They sell macaroons, chocolate, tarts, cakes, eclairs, bars and more!! It is a sweet treat for any occasion!!
Her macaroons are absolutely delicious! I strongly recommended enjoying a tasty treat here at D'liteful Chocolate!! Breana C., Greenley, CO, 5* Yelp Review 8/24/19
This place is great. Everything is super high quality and delicious. Variety of chocolates is pretty large, and the number of other items like tarts is modest at the moment but seems to be expanding. Can't wait to see what they introduce in the future, maybe cake slices/cupcakes...? ;-) Nonetheless my partner and I stop by once a week (at least). 

I highly recommend everything but particularly the gluten free brownies. I'm not even gluten intolerant- they're just really good! Proud to support a small business! Cheers! Janet B. San Marcos, CA 5* Yelp Review 7/26/19
I read to great write up in the UT on 7/25/19 and I was drawn to go there.
Not disappointed at all.  I am not a chocolate person per say however, what I am into is Lemon Meringue tarts....well my experience was unreal. A lovely employee Calista was the only person there and told me the lemon tart was ready and the meringue was about to be made and if I wanted to wait she would complete the process. After a short wait of which I took the time to really look at this very nice shop noticing all the fine touches that was put into the shop. I was thrilled to see the final product....in other words "to die for". I have lost my 2 most important senses taste and smell and taking my first bite of this incredible lemon tart at home my mouth burst with joy, A wonderful experience......it was incredible and I will praise your shop to all who I come in contact with .....it will definitely bring joy to anyone's Day..... Ann B. San Marcos, CA 5* Yelp Review 7/26/19
I just stopped in to check out this new chocolate place in Lake San Marcos. What a nice addition to the neighborhood! I bought an  Gateau Opera  dessert and ate half of it before I got home. It was amazing! Clearly they use top notch ingredients. The chocolate was smooth and dark and the cake layers moist with the perfect combination of almond and coffee flavors. All the other desserts looked amazing as well and I look forward to trying the Black Forest Gateau next. Doris S. Carlsbad, CA 5* Yelp Review 7/25/19
Dayleen is as sweet as they come. (No pun intended) because she sure makes the best sweet treats. Her artisan chocolate is to die for, and my personal fav the French Macaron. She's been classically trained to provide the latest & greatest. I used D'liteful Chocolat for my wedding a few weeks ago and was more than pleased. I highly recommend her! Kelsie F. San Marcos, CA 5* Yelp Review 10/2/18
This was an excellent camp. My daughter enjoyed it so much. It was educational and hands on and the kids were allowed to make changes to suit them. My daughter can't wait to go back for more. Thank you, Dayleen and team! Rashida D. San Marcos, CA 5* Yelp Review 8/20/18
​Thank you Dayleen and Team for hosting a wonderful Team Building Chocolate Workshop for our Welk Legal Team! We all enjoyed learning about making chocolate and, of course, eating our delicious creations. Your team went above and beyond by grabbing a last minute item. We appreciated your allowing us the opportunity to also create chocolate bars and add a little friendly competition! GREAT JOB! Would highly recommend for an intimate corporate event. 5* Product Review (Corporate Team building) A.B. San Marcos, CA  6/5/18
 This chocolate is fantastic! It definitely high quality chocolate, you think you are eating Godiva, but it's better. So yummy! When you want to treat yourself to some fine chocolate you have to try this place. Lina S. San Diego, CA 5* Yelp Review 3/10/18
Wow! What a treat! It does take training to make such an amazing product. Today I had a Chocolate Praline from D'litetful Chocolat and it literally melted in my mouth. It was a hard decision to choose from her amazing selection. I absolutely love hazelnuts so this flavor was a perfect choice for me! The beautiful packaging also makes these chocolates a perfect gift. I highly recommend Dayleen's chocolates! I can't wait to take one of her Chocolate Workshops with my girlfriends at her shop. Perhaps in her class I will feel I'm in London at the Cordon Blue! Fortunate to have her talent in San Diego. Thank you!
​Claudia D. San Diego, CA 5* Yelp Review 3/8/18
Had a great time making Macarons with Dayleen! We enjoyed learning all the ways to make them come out great!
Karyn T. San Marcos, CA , 5* Facebook Review 1/13/18
D'liteful Chocolat is not only delicious, but extremely fun. Dayleen is not only an amazing chocolatier, but she's an exceptional instructor. Her workshop was entertaining and I learned a great deal. The organic chocolate she uses and the flavorful ingredient options she offers taste incredible. At her workshop I was able to make the most incredible chocolates, which are only surpassed by the chocolates made by Dayleen.  Terri S. San Marcos, CA 5* Yelp Review 8/20/17
Had such a fun day learning how to make macarons! Chef Dayleen is an exceptional teacher, in addition to being amazing chocolatier. Definitely would recommend taking this class!
Amy D. Irvine, CA 5* Yelp Review 1/14/18
Chef Dayleen from Le Courdon Bleu gave an excellent workshop. My husband and I had a fantastic time. With Dayleen's guidance, we were able to create our own beautiful chocolates to take home. Such a fun experience, we will recommend to all our friends.  Jackie P. Carlsbad, CA  5* Yelp Review 8/20/17 
​I am so excited to see D'liteful Chocolat has opened locally! We have used D'liteful Chocolat for many birthdays and special events. Dayleen always nails it and exceeds all expectations! Her attention to detail makes everything she makes extra special and unique. She is also extremely good with her time management and I never worry when an order is in her hands. From taste to design, D'litelful Chocolat is incredible! You will not be disappointed! We are fans for life!  Michelle H. San Diego, CA 5*Yelp Review 8/8/17
