If you're a first time visitor to SF or you're a local looking for an iconic Bay Area souvenir, you're probably gonna end up here.
The square itself is quite pleasant to look at, what with the giant Ghirardelli sign overlooking the square. There's a good variety of shops for souvenirs, lunch, a quick round at at the arcade, etc.
Parking is surprisingly not too bad right now. There's the garage, but there's also street parking all around the square. Overall, an easy way to kill 1.5 - 2 hours of time while you're in SF.
It is located at the north point street, you can see beach right across, to reach there if you take the Powell tram you have to get off the last stop (fisherman’s wharf) there are two entrance, one will take u directly to the Ghirardelli store and other entrance you will pass by the fountain and other restaurants, when you enter it feels like you are in a small cute town with lights and such a great vibe it gives. There are few shopping centers and also different cuisines to try around. Its a cute small space full of chocolates and food. Unforgettable experience ❤️
Always a must while visiting San Francisco. I love their hot fudge. Also wasn’t aware that the have THREE locations right in the same square. The original sit down location where they have their chocolate exhibit, a quick to go service location just a few doors down and a small order counter downstairs on the main floor overlooking the park and beach! It felt less busy so we were happy to come multiple times to enjoy their sundaes! One of the times we ordered at the quick service and took our sundaes to go and enjoyed them on the beach while we watched the sunset.
