Was excited to try Shekoh but was extremely disappointed. I bought a Hazelnut Truffle that didn't have even a hint of hazelnut flavor. The texture of the truffle itself was also very gummy. NET/NET: Pretty to look at but otherwise not even close to worth $4.09 a truffle. Happy to pay that and more were it worth it.

My friend and I stumbled upon Shekoh Confections purely by chance, while we were strolling the streets of Palo Alto during a business trip from Florida. We found the shop to be inviting and staff very friendly and informative. The delicacies were superb - we tasted a couple and decided to purchase three boxes - mine were meant to be gifts for family members. Unfortunately, a day after the purchase I had an accident and ended up in a LA hospital - and gave the chocolates away to my incredible nurses who took such good care of me. The nurses raved about the treats and I shared the shop's information with them. I look forward to ordering the chocolates (and the beautiful chocolate shoes) online - and hope that they can be delivered to Florida.

I was making good time on my way to SFO from San Jose so I decided to make another stop for chocolate. I was frantically searching for a chocolatier off the 101 and saw Shekoh on Yelp in Palo Alto. I was worried that I would get some sticker shock but figured what the hell and made the turn off. I found parking around the corner and walked into a minimalist space where the truffles were the star of the show. It was so calm and serene and Chef Shekoh came from the back to help me make my choices. I really felt like the space was a reflection of her, calm with a lot of care taken to how things were presented. I decided to go with their 9 piece box instead of the 5 piece-it wasn't too much of a price difference. Of all the chocolates I came away with on this trip the ones here were like works of art. Beautifully coated, dark chocolate that paired so well with the flavors she put together.

Passed by this place and I couldn't help but go inside, the chocolates look like radiant gems! The woman working behind the counter was so nice and friendly, she gave us some samples and I was immediately impressed. I got a box of 5 chocolates and found it so hard to eat them because they're so pretty! They were delectable. The passion fruit was my favorite by far.They were all so good and unique!

Although the specialty here is visually gorgeous and delicious hand crafted chocolate confections, this place serves first rate espresso drinks. Their cappuccino is five stars. Once they obtain their liquor license it will expand into serving food. It’s owner/designer used to run Chocolat (sp?) in Palo Alto which closed years ago when the landlord would not renew the lease. They had an amazing unique pizza made with filo dough. We may see this delicious pizza return to University Ave. Stay tuned. Very cheerful beautifully lit venue. Nice design. You must try it.

High quality chocolates with amazing flavors. Each piece is tastefully created and has an exceptional flavor. I have been making multiple trips to the store to treat our family and also to get some gifts. There is a wide selection of chocolates from dark to fruity ones. The owner and her staff have been always friendly and welcoming. This store would be my first stop if I need to pick a gift for this holiday season.
I picked up a box for a gift and another box for us to try. The colorful pieces didn't inspire me much because I am so used to the chocolates colors. But after tasting one, I couldn't stop trying the next one and all of them were excellent. We will be back for sure with more chocolates here. This place is totally underrated. Perfect gift idea!

If you crave chocolate, this is the best place to go. Good assortment and varieties. The displays are well stocked and the store looks great. Well organized and beautiful. Shekooh is "Da Bomb" with information and very friendly. She has an amazing customer service skills. She has alway had a warm smile on her face , very pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful . If you are going to eat chocolate, might as well have good chocolate. They are delicious.

Very likely the best chocolates I've ever tried. Each piece is stunningly beautiful and beautifully balanced in flavor and texture.The chocolates are made fresh in the kitchen by Shekoh herself with care and love. These chocolates made fantastic thank you gifts for a few friends.
