I've had hot chocolate across Europe and the U.S., including other well-known spots in San Juan, and this place stands in a league of its own. The quality, depth of flavor, and attention to detail are exceptional. A must-visit, and a huge shoutout to this women-owned gem for setting the bar so high.

The owner explained the process of chocolate making by her family business with the confidence of a woman who has mastered her craft. With pride , she told us her products were overwhelmingly locally sourced and of the highest quality. The iced 70% chocolate was rich and refreshing and the chocolate chip cookie and brownies were perfect. We got a Black Pearl, a multi layer mousse and cake creation to eat the next day. While we didn't have the coffee products, the customers before us did and it smelled wonderful, a coffee grown and roaster in Puerto Rico We can't say enough about our experience at Frangi and hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did

Everyone and all food was absolutely great! We had Pablo as our guide who was so fun and friendly. He gave us the whole run down on everything and every place. He has a true talent for what he does. The group was small, there was about 6 of us. I believe groups don't get too large, maybe around 10 people. Which is nice because no one gets lost or unheard. I highly recommend this tour!

You'd get a text message reminder a day before the tour and they would ask if you have food restrictions or allergies. You'd also get a reminder where the meeting spot is. We met at Banco Popular, introduced ourselves and went our merry way to the 5 different food spots. Pablo ordered the food before hand so that when the group arrived at the different restaurants/places, the food was ready and we did not have to wait that long. Our first stop was Cafe Cuatro Sombras where we had coffee and croissant ham/provolone cheese/guava butter. I liked this croissant with a hint of tanginess/sweetness from the guava. Noncoffee drinkers had options of lemonade and tea. Second stop was Señor Paleta. There's no indoor seating here so we had the delicious parcha (passion fruit) popsicle. Yum! Very refreshing, great for this warm weather! Third stop was Cafe El Punto. This place has a lot of artwork by local artists. We had ceviche de pescado and alcapurrias de la casa which were nice. Fourth stop was El Patio de Sam where we "made" our own mofongo. We had fried plantains and garlic butter, mashed them in a mortar and pestle, and added the chicken before turning the mortar upside down to get the mofongo. This was flavorful and had more moisture compared to another mofongo we had. Last stop for dessert was Vaca Brava. We had flan which was nice. We enjoyed the food, the tour, and the conversations. Great experience here.

Note that the 53 C. Luisa address is production facility rather than a typical storefront. Their…read moremain storefront is in the mall of San Juan, but I wasn't able to get there during my trip. I called ahead to the production facility, and they were happy to accommodate my order there. They also sometimes accept orders via Ubereats. The production facility building on Calle Luisa is unassuming and you will need to call to be let in. Once inside, they explained their available flavors to me, allowed me to sample some chocolates (which were fantastic) and let me choose the flavors in my order. A 16-pc box and a 9-pc box were about $119, which is on-par with the cost of other high-end chocolates. I highly recommend the arroz con dulce flavor. It's unique and flavorful without being too sweet.

Oh boy... this was a 10/10!…read more After spending a long, hot day exploring Old San Juan with the kids, we stopped by Cortés ChocoBar in Condado for something cold, and it was exactly what we needed. We ordered three of their frozen chocolate drinks, and every single one was absolutely delicious. Thankfully, it wasn't busy when we stopped by, so it was the perfect place to cool off and take a break from the heat. The café had a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I asked if one of the frozen drinks could be split for the kids, and although they didn't split it for us, they happily gave us two extra cups so we could divide it ourselves. It was a simple gesture that we really appreciated. The frozen chocolate drink was rich, creamy, refreshing, and perfectly chocolatey without being overly sweet. Even the whipped cream was delicious, especially with the chocolate pieces on top. Everyone in our group loved it, and it quickly became our favorite sweet treat of the trip. Whenever we're craving something cold and chocolatey during our stay in Puerto Rico, this will definitely be our go-to spot. We can't wait to come back and try their bonbons before we head home!

It's the chocobar extension of the Caribbean Chocolate Cortés brand of bars that are similar to the…read moreFrench Chocolat-Menier used for making hot chocolate. I've bought them at the grocery store for my mother over the years when I couldn't find Menier. I was hoping to see some unique desserts at Chocobar Cortés. Let's just say that the chocobar at this location was not what I was expecting. It's like an express version of their original one in Old San Juan. This is located in the lobby of the Condado Palm Hotel. There are 2 entrances. Don't make the same mistake we did by trying to access at street level. That door is locked. You'll need to enter through the hotel lobby. The service is very slow here. There was only one other person there. We ordered a box of 6 chocolates and payed for it. I'm guessing he was making a drink for the other guest because he asked us to wait a few minutes. It ended up being longer so he told his colleague (who just came back from a break) to make up the chocolate box for us. Unfortunately, it took even longer as this other guy was more interested in the 2 young girls who just walked in. The chocolate bonbons were good, but nothing unique. It's the same artisan chocolates that you see everywhere for the same high price. Perhaps this location is better for their specialty cocktails in the evening time. I was looking forward to trying the choco-latte at some point. I doubt there will be a next time.

Hello, my sweet tooth lovers!…read more While in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I had to stop by Drunken Cookie, and let me tell you... they did NOT disappoint! And yes--they even serve liquor with the cookies! I enjoyed a little shot of RumChata to go with mine. They have so many different cookie flavors, but these were the ones I wanted to try: Cookies & Cream Chocolate Chip Nutella Churro with Dulce de Leche Brown Butter White Macadamia Nut I had actually seen someone else visit this spot before, so I knew I had to check it out for myself. Since I make a trip to my favorite island every year, it was definitely on my must-visit list--and I'm so glad I finally made it! Every single cookie was absolutely delicious! They were soft, moist, packed with flavor, and not overly sweet--just the perfect balance. Every bite had me wanting another! The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly, and the ambiance was such a fun, laid-back vibe. So, if you're in the area or planning a vacation to Puerto Rico, do yourself a favor and stop by Drunken Cookie. I promise I won't steer you wrong!
