Often perceived as the scourge of lawns, the dandelion actually provides numerous health benefits: they’re laden with antioxidants, and help treat liver, urinary and skin disorders. So, when San Francisco-based Dandelion Chocolate opened five years ago, its opening deserved a smile, not a sneer.

Despite the heavy emphasis on the tech sector within San Francisco’s economy, New Bohemia enjoys robust business painting exterior murals, interior wall graphics and other handpainted environmental graphics.
