    Café esquísito y riquísimo!! The coffee and cacao were perfect and beautifully put together..It's so rich and delicious. I ordered a mocha with La Principal Mezcla. The aroma was so warm and soothing. You could taste the Anáis and the slight taste of Chile at the end. So good!!! The hubs had a latter with the coffee from Chiapas. It's was awesome. It's a must stop PS: The owner actually makes the cocoa paste upstairs. This gentleman is so knowledgeable and passionate. The Barristas are very attentive. Este lugar es una jolla- el dueño es muy atento y amable. Igualmente los baristas.

    The best cacao & coffee place I've ever been to Barro Negro is definitely my favorite drink! It has cacao, sugar, cinnamon and almonds, very tasty! The owner is very nice and knowledgeable, the stuff is very friendly and professional. Will come back every time I'm in town!

    jamás de los jamases vayan a este pésimo lugar. hoy es sábado, entramos y los dos que estan allí ni un saludo. el lugar solo tenía 1 cliente aparte de nosotros eran las 3pm 03/12/22. nos acercamos al mostrador y sin saludar la persona dijo ¿qué van a ordenar? le dije dame un segundo pues. y ya le dije un americano solo con leche deslactosada. jamás le preguntó a mi amigo que queria o si sería algo más yo he ido a ese lugar desde que se abrió y no he ido por la razón que el servicio ha ido de mal en peor!! específicamente le dije no azucar y leche deslactosada. me imaginé que lo iba llevar a mi mesa (mesa sucia de hecho).... me senté. y de lejos me esta preguntando ¿¿cuántas azucares?? obvio no puso atención al pedir tanto que ignoró tomar el resto de la orden. se la dejé pasar! pero luego al gusto de él le puso la leche que le dio su santa gana y le puso la mitad de la taza de pura leche y fria!!! que chin**deras!?!? estoy acostumbrado que me dejen sentar, disfrutar, y llevan el café a la mesa. además que iba a pedir panes... pues ya café mal hecho, frío, de mala gana y todavía tapa el cafe con las manos sucias y me dice es tanto y aquí está... jamas nos preguntó que mas va a ser...y rápido pagan y ya!!?? luego antes de irme destapo el café y pura leche y se tiró con abrirlo lo llenó de mas...me cayó a la mano y si...frío de tanta leche. aún así...no lo insulté y pagué el café. pero si le reclamé el servicio....y me echó la culpa a mí para acabarla de moler!! **la foto dice más que 1000 palabras.

    I liked the taste of the Cacao Azucar Mascabado 65% and the Barro Negro chocolates, but I went with the Cacao 65% for my latte.

I could tell how passionate the owner, Jim, is about the business. He crafts his chocolate from ethically sourced beans, roasts them and makes the most deeply dark chocolate! My favorite was the chocolate ganache with walnuts! But there's such a variety of flavors to chose from. There's even chocolate tea and hot chocolate available. I'd like to return to take one of the classes. They offer classes for children. But they also offer a 2-3 hour class where they teach how to temper and decorate 21 pieces of chocolate that you get to take home! Until then I'll just have to settle with eating them!

They set up a table in the middle of the shop and provide a tray with a variety of colors and flavors to work with. We essentially decorated the outer shell of the chocolate by painting the trays, then they pretty much do the rest of the work (although you do get to pipette the pre made chocolate into the tray afterwards. While it's solidifying, one of the workers provides a tour and background of their store's history. Chocolate itself was delicious!

While eating dinner at 127 West Social House I ran into the start up business owner Of Sweet Irony Candy Co. I was telling her about how I love support local businesses in our friendly village. She gave me a sample of her Milk Stout Sea Salted Caramel and I was in nirvana...OMGit was so good I helped myself to seconds. She told me a little bit about the back story of her company. She started of telling me about the company name and how came about because she's a type 1 diabetic who makes (non diabetic friendly) candy...hence Sweet Irony! I thought that was super clever....her story was eye opening but I wish her the best of luck! Before I left the restaurant I bought 1 bag of Caramels and 1 box of English Toffee. Before I got home I devoured the whole bag of caramels! It was amazingly yummy...I was hooked! Honestly, I felt super guilty afterwards and if my guilt didn't shame me I would have ate the whole bag of English Toffee as well! I added her on Instagram. I think I'm gonna order some for my friends at work. I'm still thinking about the bag of English Toffee! Haha

    Oh my goodness are these chocolates divine! The best! We ordered the English toffee and also the…read moremilk chocolate sea salt caramels. We definitely will be ordering more. The cute boxes with the decoration they come in is absolutely adorable.

    Once upon a time we joined in on one of Isabella's classes at her manufacturing facility. We…read morelearned about her chocolate making processes, travel experience and how she acquires her favorite & top tier product/ingredients that she personally selects & has familial and cultural connections to. Since then she is continuing to produce products and flavors that live up to the Dallmann name! Definitely Gourmet Quality!!! Isabella and her staff are true artists when it comes down to creating mini art pieces with unique flavors to choose from. You get to customize your order online (as this establishment is not a storefront) make your payment and it will be shipped to you. By special appointment only you can do a pick up. I suggest reaching out to them in order to arrange that. Her business facility is in an industrial complex shared with other family owned businesses and mainly this establishment is only for her private preparations of her delicious creations! Kept very clean and functional! We've been sporadic as customers ever since we got to pipe in the Grenache ourselves and sample the chocolate making process & yummy goodness! She's got very creative packaging too. So a special occasion can be very personalized too. Dark, milk, and even vegan options available. You've a choice to swap or double up on a flavor choice if she happens to run out of a particular selection. Truly spectacular products. You might even see them at a chocolate fest, or even wine or food pairing type event elsewhere! This time we tried a bar in conjunction too a chocolate box and my daughter is happy with it! I mean who doesn't love chocolate for any occasion but February is just that more special in our home. Thanks Bella and staffers! You're the best!

And they gave my husband and I a chocolate sea salt caramel and it was yummy!! They allowed me to buy two different chocolate boxes, see pics and the chocolates are beautiful!!

It's not your normal store front, they make and put chocolate boxes together on-site, so it was very interesting and I'm glad I went!
