Located at 4303 La Jolla Village Dr, San Diego, CA 92122, Venchi operates as a chocolate shop serving San Diego in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as ice cream shop, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 10 am–10:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. No phone number is listed for this business, so the Google Maps link on this page is the best route for directions and any contact details Google has on file. Its website is us.venchi.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 1,431 reviews, which is a strong result for a chocolate shop in San Diego and suggests consistent service.

San Diego is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and San Diego follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

What can I say. I love Gelato! Rich. Special. Fresh. Must have. You HAVE TO try their milk chocolate. Probably the best I have had. Might have to stop by to get a jar of it.

Tried out some chocolate today after a friend recommended Venchi. The dark choc pistachios are absolutely incredible, easily the best you there is! The gelatos were really good, natural, balanced, and not overly sweet. The space and vibe were wonderful. The 2 female staff assisting us Sunday afternoon July 19 were kind, patient, knowledgeable, professional, and always with natural smiles on their faces. They were very kind to our kid as well, which is always a plus! They’re exceptional! Would 100% come back and recommend to others!

What a pleasure it was visiting Venchi! A Venchi location opened in Tokyo right before moving back to the U.S. and I was so bummed I didn’t get to try it. Now one is established in my hometown and I couldn’t be more pleased. We visited on Memorial Day, late afternoon. At entry, the line appeared long, but it moved quite quickly. A staff member was taking orders from patrons in line and before we knew it, we were sampling gelato. We didn’t feel rushed, which can be the case at many ice cream shops. The. Gelato. Is. Bomb. I tried their two scoop regular waffle cone dipped in chocolate and rolled in caramelized hazelnuts with their #1 seller pistachio from bronte and stracciatella gelato. It was seriously one of the best gelatos I’ve ever had. But what made our experience so special was the service that was provided. Denniece was incredibly engaging, made us feel so welcome like we were the only customers in the store. She described all the different chocolates and even let us sample the chocolates (imported from Italy). As if she wasn’t kind enough, we ended up chatting with the gelato chef, Juliana, who was soooo sweet and even lived in Italy for several years. These ladies are

We go to Venchi almost every week! Even My two kids (10&3) know what flavors they want lol. Isaac is always very helpful and very nice! Their chocolates are super yummy too, even though it’s not cheap, but you can tell the difference compared to other chocolates. My husband has Venchi membership and it seems if you spend more than $20, you get a free chocolate bar. But last time I spent more than $30 (cuz I bought a chocolate box), the lady didn’t give me the chocolate bar 😢 my husband said he has to remind the staffs too, it seems the training is not enough….. especially they are very busy, so they usually forget. Also, the shop is a little small and the floor is a little old, so if Venchi can find a bigger shop in UTC, that would be great for the staffs and the customers 😆😆 otherwise when the lines get long, you just want to give up and go to other shops. Overall, Venchi is still our No.1 gelato shop in SD 😋

As the service industry grows uglier, littered with people who hate their jobs, don’t care about your experience, or who lack hospitality, it’s always nice to be greeted by someone friendly and willing to share an opinion about what’s good. Arianna was really sweet and friendly, and recommended the nougatine crepe to me! The crepe itself isn’t sweet, but the filling is incredibly rich. She recommended adding a scoop of gelato for a small extra charge, and I’m glad she did because the vanilla balanced out the richness of the crepe. Her coworker saw me checking out their chocolate selection and offered me a sample, which I wouldn’t have known they offered if she didn’t approach me. Their staff is great! I’ve been eyeing this place and finally decided to step inside. I’m glad I did, it’s perfect if you’re craving something sweet!
