South Park Sweets at Eclipse Chocolate

Eclipse Chocolate has settled in its new ‘hood with brunch, craft beer on tap, and plenty of sweet infusions.

The region’s leading artisan chocolatier just moved from its El Cajon Boulevard locale of the last five years to considerably larger digs in South Park. Eclipse Chocolate Bar & Bistro is a 4,000-square-foot chocolate lover’s paradise and so much more. One part restaurant, one part chocolate factory, the new space encompasses a restaurant-sized kitchen that serves brunch daily, with vegan and gluten-free options, plus paninis and soups all day. Enjoy craft beer on tap, a selection of West Coast wines, and a full espresso and tea bar. Be sure to peruse chocolates, pastries and confections in the much larger retail area before heading out. The new space also includes a 45-seat dining room available for private events. 2145 Fern St., South Park, 619.578.2984. eclipsechocolate.com
