Ordered 300 bars with custom labels for an event and they were incredible! Very easy to work with, fabulous chocolate and our guests scooped up every last one. Highly recommend! And they generously gave a nonprofit discount too :) read more

This is our family go-to place for special birthday gifts for our friends no matter their age. Their bon-bons are delicious and display beautiful artistry. But hands down, we fully recommend their chocolates cake, El Rey. It is the BEST chocolate cake on earth, to die for, and also my husband's birthday cake year after year. Children and adults both gobble it up completely. The folks that work there are also very kind and always enticing me with samples of their bars. read more

My wife has mentioned this place multiple times to the point that she insisted on us going to Berkeley and getting chocolate drinks from here. I love chocolate, but I always found chocolate drinks to be too sweet for me, until this place. From the flavor of the chocolate drink alone, they're chocolate-centric to the point you can taste the coating of it still on your tongue. My wife got the hot drink while I got the cold one, and either way you take it, you won't regret your decision! Unfortunately we didn't give any to our dog for obvious reasons, but they were kind enough to provide water to our girl when they found out we were seated outside with her. Thank you very much! read more

Casa De Chocolates - Sign of Casa De Chocolates & Rosie! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Berkeley, California

I can't say much about the shop's ambiance or service, but I can say plenty about the chocolates! I was gifted a box from one of my friends as a belated birthday gift and found myself in love with the quality and rich flavors. In the box, I had the following: - Brazilian Sea Salt 5/5 (DELICIOUS! Satisfied my sweet tooth but also balanced it out.) - Mexican Vanilla 5/5 (This was on par with the sea salt one but surprisingly subtle in taste. It felt like a more *demure* snack.) - Tequila 3/5 (I'm not too big of an alcohol in chocolate fan but this was decent!) - Guayaba 5/5 (Smooth inside and definitely more fruity and sweet than the others) - Mole 3/5 (Decent; a lil thick, but the dark chocolate balanced it out) - Mayan Espresso 5/5 (Strong, rich flavor that I deeply appreciated) The quality and variety of chocolates here are definitely heavy hitters and you can tell by the presentation and the little glimpses of culture in each piece. Definitely would come here myself just to experience other items offered as well as the shop's vibes! read more

At Elmwood just waking off our dinner and we walked past Case De Chocolates, a nice lady waked out swearing by these chocolates and we had to try. Jesus one of the owner was super nice and stayed open a little longer just for us. Not gonna lie, opened up one of the bars walking to the car. Very unique flavors like Mole, Jamaica, so super Mexican flavors. Must try is your visiting up here in the Bay! read more

Great Latino owned business to support in Berkeley! I'm so glad I'm walking distance from it so when I need my mid day chocolate kick I can just walk over to get a bar or two. They have hot chocolate and frozen hot chocolate as well. The hot chocolate is vegan but the frozen one isn't. They have some gluten free and dairy free chocolate bars which is cool. They have a small variety of some pastries there too. The service is always fast so if you're in a rush they got you. The store is small and on the corner so it can be hard to see but just know it's the store at the very corner. Give their coffee chocolate bars a try, it really tastes like coffee! My family really likes their frozen hot chocolate and I really like their hot chocolate so you can't go wrong with them. My family and I will just travel to Berkeley for their hot chocolates alone. read more

Casa de chocolates has been a staple in my household for all major events since college. They have the cutest valentines boxes and assortments along with very seasonal fall designs on their bonbons. Nestled off to the side from the quiet and romantic college ave is this authentic Latinx chocolate shop! They have an amazing story rooted in community investment that I read on linkedin! They also have it under their about section online. I come here every chance I can, and try to bring new faces whenever possible, because the magic of this shop cannot be found ANYWHERE else in California. The chocolate and sweets are all rooted so deeply in mesoamerican culture, I love bringing my older family members here to give them a taste of home away from home. From the designs to the flavors, Casa de Chocolates embodies a sense of belonging for me that I can only find when I go back home to Mexico -- so I guess this is my comfort place to a certain extent haha! This is a small but very popular shop that makes everything in house so please be patient with the staff! I promise it's worth the wait. My personal favorites are the 24-pack of chocolate. bonbons and the Frozen Hot Chocolate! The Frozen Hot Chocolate tastes just like abuelita but in the form of a slushee! It is very chocolate-y, not too sweet, and super slushee. They have a massive variety of bonbons to choose from, I like getting the 24-pack to try as many of them as I can but some of my favorites include: Mexican vanilla, chipotle, mole, Tapatio, cajeta, guayana, and Chile naranja. read more

Casa De Chocolates - Assorted 24 box - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Berkeley, California

Amazingly good chocolates! Had the bon bon set.. I think 24 pack. Outstanding! The beauty of the chocolates are only rivaled by the taste. If you're looking for mass produced chocolates, go elsewhere, as this is not that kind of operation. These are unique complex flavor profiles such as tequila, lavender, cajete, chipotle and many others. I can't speak to the ambiance as I received these via mail. What I can say is do yourself a favor and visit the store or have some mailed to you. They are fantastic! read more

I always go to the one star reviews, and since I've been coming here for awhile, I thought I'd give a little feedback about those reviews, and share my experience with this place: 1 Star reviews: Really, don't even bother reading. The old guard is out, in with the new and improved. Shop: Small, clean, artistic. Staff: Very welcoming, will offer samples, focused on making amazing chocolates. Price: A tad bit spendy, but if people are willing to pay these kinds of prices in this economy, take advantage. Flavorful chocolates, spicy hot chocolate that, at times, I prefer over coffee, and chocolate cake that was made in heaven. I do enjoy an occasional tres leches, and I'm sure it's the bomb (apparently not getting this cake utterly DESTROYED someone's day/week/life) so I'll have to get a slice next go around. Enjoy. read more

While exploring the neighborhood during a recent visit to the Bay, I discovered this wonderful chocolate shop! They have so many different chocolates to choose from! And amazing coffee as well. I picked up macaroons and a huge cupcake for future treats. The staff were friendly and helpful while I was taking my time looking at everything trying to decide which chocolate to enjoy. Although a small space, the layout of Casa De Chocolates is inviting with the main display of chocolates facing the front door and various chocolate products on each side. Def a reasonably priced treat place! read more

I was given a small box of chocolates from one of my clients (Habitat Horticulture, who is also on Ashby Avenue). The flavors were rich while not being too sweet, and the types of chocolates were unique (Mango, Chile Maranja, Canela). I will definitely have to make a special trip there very soon~ Bob F read more

The chocolate is beyond wonderful. However, for the third year in a row, the in-shop experience was off-putting. I ordered almost $300 of chocolate online about a month ago. I arrived at the designated time and had to wait for about 15 min in line - okay - understandable and great to see a shop with so much activity. I get to the register and the guy asks me for my order number. I said I had no idea and gave him my name. He did not exactly roll his eyes, but he looked at me like I had just committed the most unimaginable rudeness. "Oh, now we will have to look it up in the system - huff. " It took his co-worker about 20 seconds to find my order by my name. I spent a lot of money there to have to deal with a snippy employee. Strike 3. not going back. read more

I came here to pick up a few boxes of chocolate for myself and Christmas gifts. To my surprise, the recipes have changed. The shells of the chocolates are now thinner and don't have the "crunchy" when you bite into them. The filling is runny, not like it use to be. I am so disappointed. The chocolates are still pretty good, but i don't find the prices justify the quality. I have been coming here for years. I love treating myself and giving these as gifts. I'm not sure i'll be coming back. read more

Casa de chocolates is one of the best places I've ever had the chance to visit. It's changed my life. I go every once in a while and each time I am given more reasons to love this business.

I am OBSESSED with this place. I'm not a fan of chocolate drinks but the chocolate drink here is TO DIE FOR. You can tell the chocolate is authentic and not like those that use synthetic flavoring. Another thing I keep coming back for are the chocolate truffles in the photo. Definitely try it. Staff are so sweet too! read more

A great experience - they are generous and customer centric and let us try out some of their bonbons . All very yummy and rich We needed up ordering the frozen hot chocolate and the hot chocolate - both very good . We didn't see any menu, so you might need to just ask them at the counter . Their cakes also looked yummy (especially that tres leches one...) but we didn't had any capacity to try them out ....have to leave something for next time ! read more

Artisanal small batch, hecho a mano bon-bons inspired by sabores Mexicanos? Yes, please! I've tried the Mexican Assortment, the Chile Assortment that's spicy, and the Fruity Assortmentand love all three box selections. There are exquisite flavors, like tequila, chipotle, mole, tamarindo, chipotle caramel, naranja, tapatio, guayaba, maracuya caramel, and Mexican vanilla. Impressive artistry, which makes these perfect for gift-giving. The people here are friendly, knowledgeable, and you always get great service. Highly recommend trying a box of their chocolates. read more

Casa de Chocolates is a chocolate shop that I've been to a couple times in Berkeley, and I have to say I really enjoy what they have here! Although the shop is on the smaller side, they do have quite a wide variety of chocolates with many different interesting flavors. The people working here are nice, and usually are fine with giving out free samples. The chocolate here is also high-quality, as they are very rich and have some pretty unique flavor blends. Some of the items I've gotten from here include the Chile Mango chocolate bar, the Tres Leches cake, and the Frozen hot chocolate. The mango chocolate bar is made of dark chocolate combined with fresh mango and chili flakes, which is a fantastic combo. The Tres Leches cake is quite spongy, if you like very sweet desserts then you'll definitely enjoy this one. The frozen hot chocolate is a drink that I haven't seen in many other places, and it has a creamy consistency and a great chocolate flavor. Highly recommend visiting this place if you're ever around the area! read more

Cute shop selling south american chocolate treats, delicious but pricey chocolate confections with fancy presentation ideal for gift-giving.

Wonderful chocolate shop! I get my client gifts here now, and people rave about them. Must not miss Berkeley shop!!

Mexican hot chocolate is delectable! Such a rich chocolate flavor, perfect amount of sweetness, and enhanced with a touch of chilli. Truly one of the best I've had. Chocolate cake is moist and decadent, frosting could be sweeter but overall very high quality and good prices read more

Cute little shop full of chocolates galore! Definitely get the frozen hot chocolate, best drink in town. Seriously gives you that sugar high that also feels fresh! I should've gotten two... Welcome and friendly workers behind the dessert case. And they're ready to answer any questions you have. I also should've asked if they give out samples. Adorable hidden gem that you won't regret stopping in! read more

The best chocolatier in the East Bay. A huge bonus that this spot is run by a Latina with pride in supporting Black and Brown owned businesses as I've seen owner partner up with Kingston 11 on a rum and chocolate tasting event many years ago. They're chocolates are all incredible and they have a huge selection for every taste imaginable. They are my go to gifts that have yet to disappoint anyone I've given them too. I recently made a life changing discovery that they do special cake orders for the holidays and their chocolate cake was divine. It wasn't too decadent and perfectly moist. It was a huge hit with the entire family and I had so much that I froze some leftovers. I cannot wait for the moment it makes a comeback. I'll be ordering again for Christmas and hope to be able to try the flan this time around. My only gripe is that parking in this area is difficult so make some time to drive around unless you get lucky. read more

Just stepping into this shop is a heavenly experience. And to top it off, the staff couldn't be friendlier and more helpful. Last time I was in they were "forcing" free samples on me (wink wink). I purchased a few different sampler boxes as gifts (one for me, one for the birthday boy). You cannot go wrong here - every little bit is an incredible treat! read more

The plus about this place is a free chocolate with check in. Here's the thing the chocolate is okay...not outstanding just okay. The kahlua didn't have that coffee flavor to it and just tasted more like a chocolate ganache. My friend's chocolate also lacked the flavor. The mexican hot chocolate was watered down and honestly didn't have a kick or bite to it. The tres leches cake was well...super disappointing...we each took a bite and that was that. I can't see myself coming back here again...honestly not even for the chocolates which are like See's candy with a prettier color and different flavors. read more

I consider Casa de Chocolates to be one of the best businesses in the SF Bay Area. They create L.A.Burdick-quality chocolates, pastries, drinks, and desserts, with a Mesoamerican flair. The people working here are passionate, helpful and kind. The shop itself is adorable. Of the many chocolate shops around UC Berkeley, *this* is the one to visit and remember. read more

Tiny quaint shop that smells amazing as soon as you walk in. The beautiful artistry of the chocolates-makes you not want to eat them. The hot chocolate with chile flakes intensifies the delicious chocolate flavor. It takes you back to a little town in Mexico with its decor and aromas. I got all most everything laugh out loud and a 3 leches cake that was amazing and so good. It really reminded me of eating arroz con leche to be honest. A must in Berkeley!!! :) read more
