Charles Chocolates has only been here about 18 months so it is new. But yes, when the chocolate makers moved out of San Francisco (Ghirardelli's actual working plant is in San Leandro and all of the tourists just go to San Francisco) a lot of them took up in the industrial parts of the East Bay including Emeryville (there are a lot of industrial and co-op kitchen places here as well and those tend to spawn small businesses in the same neighborhood) and the southern part of Berkeley. But even here most of them have been gentrified out.
