This review is for both the cafe and chocolate shop. The…read moreshop is using high end chocolate such as Valrhona and Republica de Cacao and the prices reflect it. The bonbons are outstanding. The outer shells are whisper thin, reflecting true skill on the part of those casting the chocolate. The fruit fillings are bright and sharp and in the multi-flavored fillings the individual flavors meld harmoniously but are each distinctly recognizable. Highly recommended. The cafe is small with both indoor and outdoor seating. Situated on a quiet, leafy corner of Avenida Amsterdam it's a wonderful place to start the with coffee or an indulgent mocha and pastry. I wish they offered their cakes by the slice as I've never been a big fan of laminated pastry but stuff anything with gianduja and it's bound to rock. N.B. The danish is actually a cruffin made from croissant dough but it's buttery and well laminated and unless you're a weird chocolate hater you'll be happy.

I got a whole bag and a cocoa to go. My Chocolate con cacao fermentado was delicious. The staff member made it fresh with the traditional beater in pot. It was silky and decadent, rich chocolate. And it had a lovely grain from coarsely ground cacao nibs. I've never welcomed a texture like that but I now yearn for it.

I can't go back to American hot chocolate and my wallet is cooked. The staff were quiet but kind and brought the drink to my table. I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to leave my cup so I brought it back down from the loft. The variety of chocolate available is impressive for a small shop. The prices are a bit high but beat what I can get at home for sure. I'm not enough a connoisseur to compare different chocolate qualities but I expect a pleasant graininess from small shards of cacao nibs but my brew was smooth as can be. However, the taste was pleasant and might be a plus for those who want a smoothly textured chocolate.

This place is poppin', there's buskers, live music, and lots of people enjoying a meal on their work break, or just between friends catching up. I even peeped some cuties on a first date. The vibes are great for people watching and just enjoying some time alone. I went with their cacao fermantado con leche. Beware fermentado first timers, that your GI may be feeling mobile and explosive. I loved that they had different percentages of cacao so you can really customize. I was bummed that my drink tasted like the dish soap that was used to clean the cup. Chocolate caliente is literally my fave thing to try en Mexico so that was a disappointment. Regardless, nobody does chocolate caliente like Mexicanos! I also treated myself to a galleta con chispas shaped in a cute little dinosaur, but I would skip that. It wasn't really tasty and was a bit stale. I had my eye on their brownie and that decadent cake, I should've gone with that instead. In all, cute spot, low-key vibes, and lots of single origin, trace-able and local chocolate which is ALWAYS the energy we are bringing as globally-conscious travellers/turistas. Would def come again.

There was very little to no inventory of anything in the shop. There were two employees in the shop when we arrived but no one offered to help us or answer any questions. It was around 4pm on a Thursday and the hours said open until 8 so I am unsure if they were sold out for the day or that is what it is always like. We did try a popsicle and it was super mid.

Service was polite but not incredibly helpful. The shop itself was very cute and had a nice selection of chocolates on display but unfortunately they were mostly milk or white chocolate and I really prefer dark chocolate. I ended up trying the raspberry which is traditionally one of my favorite flavors of chocolate and this just wasn't it. It wasn't terrible but it also wasn't worth finishing the chocolate or buying any to bring home with me.
