    If you're a chocolate lover this is a spot not to be missed! As you walk in, your eyes are immediately drawn to the glass display of truffles. To the right are the chocolate bars and drinks. Everything was neatly displayed. The employee was helpful and informative about their chocolate. They do offer tastings which is great especially if you're unsure about something and there is so much to choose from. I tried the no sugar 85% dark chocolate with macadamia nut and quite enjoyed it. I was expecting it to be bitter and was surprised that it wasn't. I also indulged in an iced mocha with the classic chocolate blend. It tasted so good, what a difference good chocolate can make! I will never look at coffee shop mochas the same way again. I didn't get to do the tour this time so next time I'm back in town I'll definitely be stopping by.

    Sipping chocolate

    Good Lord, if you like chocolate you best stay away. We settled on a Chai Hot Chocolate and a Mole Sipping Chocolate (European Style). I've not made sipping chocolate at home for a while and am now reminded why I stopped. IT'S SO GOOD AND DECADENT. We selected truffles ($3 each) and they were amazing. We might have to go back..... There are 1 hour chocolate tours for $15 each. The owner will take you through the chocolate producing experience. The next course is more advanced and teaches you the different palates. Or you could just spring for a custom experience and perhaps invite all your friends for a Chocolate Party. As the winter nights draw in, best stock up now for those comforting hot chocolates round the bonfire. The kitchen is pristine, large and a hive of activity. The server was super helpful and pleasant. The building is off the beaten track which makes you feel like you are part of a secret club. Al fresco space for sipping and small chocolate sales area inside.

    This is one of my favorite places in town. It's a little out of the way, so people have to plan to go there, meaning that there's seldom crowds. The chocolate is outstanding and o really love their drinking chocolates. Great place for a get together with girlfriends or parent-child time.

    So amazing! Just walking in, the scent of chocolate welcomes and prepares you. The drinking chocolate is great, and the iced option is perfect for summer weather. My wife had the caramel truffle, and I had the bourbon. The bourbon truffle had a little bite to it.

    Happy Birthday

    I live in Houston, Texas, and my daughter moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in October. Based on a coworker's recommendation, she suggested Smallcakes, and I ordered a cake for her. The price, delivery cost, and presentation were all very reasonable, and the cake was absolutely delicious! Thanks Nicole!

    It was my first time visiting this shop and I must say I was impressed!! First of all, it is locally owned. The shop offers a variety of chocolate items including hot and cold chocolate drinks, fudges, chocolate bars and much more. I am also impressed by the offers of some vegan chocolate items in the shop. My fiends and I plan to do the chocolate factory tour with them soon!

    Customer service at its best!

    Fantastic chocolate AND amazing customer service? Nirvana! I needed a Halloween sweet for my recently relocated family member to ABQ. No ordinary chocolate would suffice. Yelp steered me to Eldora. I reached out via email late one evening and received a prompt and courteous response from Steve. I placed my order that night & family member was surprised & thrilled with surprise. I get calls describing the great flavors. I'm thinking it's a not so subtle hint of what to get next time! Looking forward to checking out Eldora next time I'm in ABQ & they have my gift giving business for life!

    I'm rating this on a recent truffle I had. It was blood orange flavor with dark chocolate around it. It had the truffle creamy melt-in-your-mouth center chocolate, but what I appreciate is the flavor. The blood orange flavor came through well. Nothing bland here! Friendly wait staff who gave out samples of the chocolate bars for sale.

    There are several chocolate shops in Albuquerque making their own chocolate, but Eldora is the best. They make single origin chocolate bars in addition to flavored bars, truffles, milkshakes, and drinking chocolate. Employees were very helpful and offered samples when I walked in and started browsing. So far I've had the truffles, some of the flavored bars, and several of the single origin bars and everything is fantastic! My favorite flavored bar is the vanilla pink salt. You can taste the subtle difference in the single origin chocolates and my favorite is Venezuela Chuao. Definitely the go to spot for high end chocolate! I haven't yet had the sipping chocolate, but there are a few small tables and chairs for sitting to enjoy the drinks.

    High grade all the way. Just take my word for it. I have enjoyed the "eldora experience" on multiple occasions, and today I decided to treat myself to a 4 pack of truffles at the SawMill Market (I didn't see a Sawmill Market location page for Eldora, so I am leaving this review here)....anyhoo, I ordered Blood orange, the green chile biscochito, the raspberry coconut, and the lavender....so much wow. I really savored these bad boys over the course of 3 days, literally just taking a bite of each a day to make it last...sigh.

    Truffles
    Tiffany C.

    Had a chance to go to an event recently here and bought a lot of chocolate and everything is just fantastic. I consider myself to be a chocolate connoisseur, and I've been to many chocolate shops around the country as a chocolatier myself. This place is truly special with the single origin 70% dark bars made from exquisite beans from around the world. I could not ask for a better quality bar with not too much sugar added, so you can really taste the actual difference in the beans. The truffles are also divine! Personal favorite is the hazelnut. I could eat 12 in a day and die happy. Thanks, Eldora! I will definitely be back to buy more chocolate! What a true gem in Albuquerque!

    Do they have real cream donuts, not custard filled?

    Sorry, we don’t offer donuts. Thanks for asking

    Does Eldora have Hot Chocolate on their menu?

    Absolutely! We make it using our very own bean to bar chocolate. Our hot chocolate is 70% chocolate, not 70% sugar like others. We also make the hot chocolate using the traditional Olmec way and create lots of air when we blend it to carmelize or…

    Buffets Candies is a great place to stop in while in Albuquerque. I am very familiar with Buffets…read moreas the popcorn I absolutely adore is shipped by Buffets. While I usually go to Buffet's Cannery off of 7th, I was hoping to find my popcorn here. They did have a few selections of popcorn, but not the exact flavor I wanted. This store did have a ton of chocolates, including the noted Red Chili brittle. This is delicious and a must have! Buffets has very friendly staff and even offers you a free sample when you enter. Buffets reminds me of what I have seen Candy stores looking like from the 1950s - very retro! It was a blast from the past.

    A sweet tradition in ABQ since 1956, this Buffett's Candies is a newly opened location. Buffett's…read morehas lots to offer for your sweet tooth (even some frosted treats for your pup!) as well as some sweet & savory selections from the Popcorn Cannery. The facility is nice and bright, with a red-and-white theme and pops of starbursts painted on the walls. Displays are not overly crowded, allowing the items to be showcased. I was greeted immediately by an employee and offered a sample of dark chocolate salted caramel. Yum! I was very happy with my purchase (as was my pup). The white chocolate coconut pattie was full of toasted coconut flavor, and the Christmas Mix popcorn with green and red chile cheese flavors never disappoints. I did have to break the frosted dog bone into smaller parts since it was so big, but my dog ate it up. You can order ahead for pickup as well.
