Willy Wonka has nothing on the Scharffen Berger chocolate factory in Berkeley.
You can live out your wildest chocoholic fantasies while learning how chocolate gets from the bean to your mouth. Best of all, it's FREE!!
You can sign up for a Scharffen Berger Factory Tour on their website. It's best to not be late because someone would be more than happy to fill your shoes on their waiting list.
Although there are no Oompa Loompas around, there are quite a few wacky chocolate making gadgets that would make Tim Burton proud.
There is also an on-site cafe (YUMMY!) and store in which you can purchase fresh Scharffen Berger chocolate gifts and fabulous kitchen accessories.
