This place didn't disappoint. Large selection of items. Lady said they get lots more in as the day progresses. A loaf of bread that is normally $4.24 was $1.50. You can stock up on these great products, then just freeze them until you are ready. Store was clean, staff nice & helpful, easy on/off road, etc. I bought two boxes of muffins just to give to mechanics. This is 100% the place to go if you have a big family. Or even for a senior like me looking for a bargain.

When we checked out he said, with glee "all of this for $11! Yesterday they had a lovely seeded bread for $1.50. I Make bread and love a good bakery but this fits a different need. I think they're having some staffing issues at the moment so weren't open last Sunday when I went. But that's not a big deal. I've gone and couldn't find what I was looking for so will ask and sometimes it's end up back. If you find something you like get it, the bread I like I'll get two loaves of and because it's commercially made bread that lasts for a long time in the fridge. Also it's just down the street from Costco on montano and they sell huge hot dog buns that fit the dogs from Costco perfectly. I love this place and hope it never goes away

After visiting a few of the other stores we made our way over to La Choco Salty & Sweet to grab a quick sweet to eat and support a local shop. From the outside it looks like just a chocolate shop, but the sweets section is just a small area up front and the rest of the store is tourist type products to buy like clothing, knick-knacks, etc. The sweets area is cute, they have a little cafe type area set up for a few people to sit and they have all the chocolates on display. Most of the treats look pretty good, but the prices are a bit high for some of the things. We generally enjoy grabbing a few truffles when visiting sweet spots like this so we selected four truffles to try. They do not have clear pricing in the case for the truffles nor do they provide any kind of hint to what is inside of some of them aside from the name of the truffle. I had asked the woman working what was inside one or two of them and she seemed annoyed I asked. We ended up getting the four we picked out anyway, and I was kind of bummed afterward. Not only were they $3+ EACH but they tasted like they had sat in the display case for several days. They were a bit hard, stale and didn't really have a lot of flavor to them so I was a little upset we had spent about $17 here on five things of chocolate that weren't really anything to write home about.

The charming farmhouse exterior gives way to a cozy country store atmosphere inside, making the entire place feel warm and inviting. One of my favorite parts was the wide-open kitchen, where you can watch the staff hard at work. Even without booking an official tour, it feels like you're getting a behind-the-scenes look at the chocolate-making process. The experience is made even better by the incredible front counter staff. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to share what they do. We were offered samples, walked through much of the process, and never felt rushed. I'm not going to list everything we ordered. There were simply too many delicious items to mention. But I can confidently say this was some of the best chocolate I've ever had. Every bite tasted exceptionally fresh, clean, and thoughtfully crafted. The flavors were rich without being overwhelming, and somehow every piece left me wanting just one more. It might be a blessing that they aren't more conveniently located... but honestly, I can't think of any downside to eating their chocolate more often. So, Eldora, if you're listening: please, please, please open a location on Albuquerque's East Side, or at the very least, start delivering. You'd have a customer for life.

Wow! Amazing Place, Rich, beautiful chocolate everything!…read more I purchased some chocolate for Friends and Family and me for the holidays.

Back in late November 2025, I was in Albuquerque, NM, fulfilling my loved ones' Christmas shopping…read morelist wishes. Before leaving town, I headed to the Eastside for Chocolate Cartel. The name certainly intrigued me, but their slogan did too: no fluff . no flair . the best cacao . I was in! While I didn't experience any "fluff," I thought that their chocolates actually did have some flair. They do have items for those bougie friends. Lol. I ordered a sample 6-pack truffle box ($19) that my daughters and I split together: Bee Pollen, Lavender Vanilla, Flowers of Italy, Green Chile & Salt, Pistachio in White, and Peppermint. I really should have gotten a bigger box after seeing how excited my girls were about this. Next time... I also enjoyed a discounted (due to it being broken) green chile and salt chocolate bar. They outsource other niceties: air fresheners, candles, and gelato. I wish I had stomach space for the gelato, but next time! Very nice, helpful service on the 26th. Overall, it is chocolate done maybe a bit simple yet exceedingly well.

January 30, 2026 Rio Rancho, NM Cottonwood…read more FIX YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE OR LOSE YOUR CUSTOMERS FOREVER! Worst Customer Service ever! Walked in and nobody was in line but me. The girl was so busy focusing on to go orders she couldn't even say hello. After 3 1/2 to 4 minutes I finally said hello and she came over and said what can I get you? I gave her my order, and then I paid with cash. She was wearing gloves and took my money and gave me my change. She walked back to fill some more cookie orders. I asked if she could change her gloves because she just touched money. She was aggravated and irritated. She threw her gloves off into the garbage and grabbed two new gloves and went behind the corner. I don't know what she did behind the corner, but the other employee was watching her the whole time in curiosity, and then looking up at me. Which is interesting because she did not hear the conversation going on. In hindsight, I should have just asked for my money back. The woman came out, got the cookies put them in the box and gave them to me. I thanked her for changing her gloves and told her I was immune compromised and I thought it was not appropriate to touch the money and then the food. Apparently this is an upsetting thing for her to conceptualize because she once again was irritated and disgusted as you could see in her face. I then asked for my receipt. After pounding on the keypad with great force, she gave me my receipt. I thanked her again. And left. No, I did not give her a tip when I paid for my cookies. I didn't give her a tip for two reasons. First she never acknowledged me and I waited for up to four minutes and then had to acknowledge her before she even came over to assist me. More importantly, I don't think it's important to tip a person at a cookie shop to give me a cookie I paid five dollars for. That is their job. Am I supposed to pay five dollars for her to ring the cookie up, and then tip her for giving it to me? This has got out of hand.Crumbl cookies should not be asking for gratuity at the register. If you want have a tip jar that is something different. I just went out to dinner and the waitress worked her back end off to serve me and all the other tables. I should not tip you for handing me a pink box. Perhaps this location needs to rename themselves to crummy cookies! For record and management to know I went in on January 30, 2026 at 6:05 PM.
