About the Event

To celebrate National Chocolate Day, World Chocolate Master Finalist and Netflix star Christophe Rull is teaming up with Michelin-trained chocolatier Annaluna Karkar for a two-day pop-up at Christophe Rull Patisserie in the emerging North City district in San Marcos. The event will feature Karkar’s handcrafted chocolates alongside Rull’s signature pastries.

Guests can enjoy a curated selection of Annaluna’s handmade chocolates, available while supplies last. Her collection includes rich, layered bars such as Walnut Cinnamon Baklava, Raspberry Tea with Pistachio Crisp, The Sticky Toffee Bar, and Coffee Caramel with Pecan Crunch. There are also elegant flower tablets in 70% and 46% Almond Hazelnut, and playful stems like Milk Chocolate Toffee, Dark Chocolate Peppermint, and Lemon Crush in white chocolate. For something whimsical, her signature owl-shaped chocolates come in flavors like 46% Caramel or Peanut Butter, 46% Hazelnut Crunch, and 70% Passion Coconut.

This pop-up is a rare opportunity to experience the work of two Michelin-trained chocolate artisans at the top of their craft. Don’t miss it!
