vRey few things kept in a small room next to shop which does not even have someone to explain. More of a name museum to sell there products. Although some of their product seemed to b nice

This is not really a museum as the place is more like a store with displays that outline the steps that go into producing chocolate. Without the class in making chocolate, it would have been an okay place if you happened to be nearby. However, if you take the class, you start with beans and wind up with poured chocolates similar to those the museum sells. It was far more interesting and involving than we had expected. It also wasn't as easy as it seems. The young man who gave the lesson was very informative and very entertaining. We really enjoyed the experience, and every time I ate a piece of chocolate we had made, I appreciated the visit even more. When I eat fine chocolates now, I always think back to the two hours we worked to make something we all take for granted.

My fiance signed us up for the chocolate making class for Valentine's Day. We had a great time and learned a lot from Alejandro. (saludos)He speaks perfect English and Spanish and was very charming. The class was very interesting/interactive and fun!

you can have a taste of very interesting products - many of which I have never tasted before e.g. chocolate-mango spread, cacaobeans, cocoa-tea, guatemaltecan chocolate, .... while friendly shopkeepers offer explanations about the products

Very cool to learn about local cacao, etc. Do a workshop for full experience! The milk chocolate is to die for!

This place is great. Excellent chocolate. A nice little "museum" and super friendly and helpful staff. My wife and i had the chocolate fondue with fresh fruit. Very decadent and simply delicious. The chocolate tea and conquistador hot chocolate were also very good. Reasonably priced for a sinfully delicious treat.

Stop in if you happen to stroll by. Charming staff and even the most resistant of buyers will come out with something. And, it will BE good and fairly priced. It is a business but not a tourist trap.PS - there is an excellent, high-end art gallery on thebother side of the street and another museum.

Three girlfriends and I did the cooking class for making chocholate candy. We really had a wonderful time learning about choco. It was so interesting to hear the history of chico. It was a two hour class that went by very quickly. At the end of the class they gave us our own made chocolate candy in clear bags, with a bow around it and tag with the store name and logo. You can buy chocolate candy there that they sale at their store in the same room where the classes are held.

We signed up for a two hour workshop that went by far too quickly thanks to our leader Pablo who is not only knowledagable but a wonderful character as well. He explained the history of chocolate and it's evolution but by far the best part was the actual hands on demonstrations. He makes both the traditional Mayan and Spanish style drinking chocolates but then you get to make your own chocolate bars in either dark or milk chocolate and in a variety of shapes plus various toppings. Afterwards you get to keep the chocolates you make and boy are they delicious. This was a very different experience and one we will remember.
