Chokolà

If I could give a place 6 stars, I would! This is officially my favorite spot in all of New Mexico - at least in what limited area I've traveled to so far. Came here with some friends and were lucky to grab a table. It's small and cozy but definitely worth stopping by, or at least taking your sweets to-go. Parking can be challenging in Taos, so expect to walk a few blocks.I ordered a flight of sipping chocolate, including Aztec, New Mexico Spicy, Arabian, and Mayan. I liked them in that order. Definitely getting the first two again. Not as much of a fan of the last two. The Lemongrass Ginger Mousse and Goat Cheese Chocolate Cheesecake were both to die for. And there's local goods for sale! Chokolà is absolute perfection!

I like everything about this place, except for the price. Your hot chocolate is going to set you back more than $5, probably more than $7. Ok, this is probably still good value for the quality and care, but still...Ouch.Note, even if you don't order anything, go in for the smells and the education!Definitely worth a visit.

Such a unique experience. It was interesting and the atmosphere was welcoming. I decided to go with a vegan chocolate cake and a cappuccino. Such a great combination. My friend did the chocolate flight. Everything was delicious. Come here to get your chocolate fix!

Amazing, magical, artistic chocolates with something new and super cool to try! The employees have been helpful and patient as we decide between all the delicious chocolate choices. This is such a neat stop to elevate your day in Taos downtown!!

Cute spot that sells chocolates and mousse.You can sample the mousse flavors. And they are all very smooth and a nice indulgent treat. A nice stop after a long day on the slopes.

No wonder this place has won awards! The quality of their chocolate is fantastic...and y'all know I know my chocolate! I literally visited two days in a row for their Aztec sipping chocolate, because they don't play around when it comes to sipping chocolate. On day two, I left with almost $50 worth of goodies, all consumed within the day because...again...y'all know my sweet tooth! Among those were a chocolate chip hazelnut cookie, trio with the Aztec (a delightful sipping chocolate steeped with 1:1 oat milk and cinnamon, and finished with their chocolate), Maya (I believe this one is water based), and chocolate mousse (the mousse was the real surprise here, the texture and rich, complex chocolate flavor were to die for). I also grabbed a truffle, and a mocha to go. This is not including the Aztec, Americano, and salted caramel tarte ordered on the first day.If I'm honest, I was not going to return after day one (no matter how fantastic the product) because service matters. I'm not sure they see many people like me (I mean, it's Taos, there aren't many of me), or if I rubbed someone the wrong way with my existence, but the service certainly reflected that something was off when it was my turn to order. Instead of being welcomed, I felt the team member helping me intentionally talked at or down to me when ordering. It was a stark contrast compared to how the two ladies before me were treated, and on top of that an immediate shift in behavior from this shop gentleman. This experience is the only reason I'm rating this place any less than 5 stars, and tbh, I almost didn't return. Luckily, the second day brought a much friendlier face (and as a result I spent more of my money satisfying that culinary sweet tooth of mine). That being said, I hope the gentleman I encountered on my first visit is not the owner (it wasn't Javier so I think not). No matter how amazing the product is, service matters. People matter. Sweet teeth come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and shades. :D.

A hidden gem, down a side street of the square GPS sent us. Don't give up. We had a chilled version of their Aztec sipping chocolate. So rich, even with milk used instead of the usual ice cream. 5 stars for excellence in a unique category.

Great little chocolate factory. The hot chocolate is very rich. A little goes a long way. It is delicious and worth a taste. The candy is also delicious. All of the chocolate is hand made, in house. The smell of chocolate is captivating! Yum

We stopped in for a pick-me-up after driving up from ABQ. The shop is very cute and has some indoor and outdoor seating available. The baristas were super friendly and happy to give some recommendations. We went with some of the mousse (chocolate & dulce), hazelnut cake, bonbons (ginger tumeric/pear ylang-ylang/rosemary olive oil sea salt caramel), a pistachio praline bar, and some espressos to pair. Everything was so amazing - the mousses had the perfect consistency and level of sweetness! The hazelnut cake had a yummy base and then topped with a hazelnut layer like the outer shell of a Ferrero Rocher (but way better)! The pistachio praline bar had a wonderful dark chocolate base and the praline wasn't too sweet - this paired so nicely with the espresso. We saved the bonbons for another day, but they held up nicely and were all delicious - my favorite was the rosemary olive oil sea salt caramel since they nailed the flavors profiles and it made for very well-balanced bites, but the pear ylang-ylang one also tasted like biting into a pear. All of the items are very thoughtfully crafted and I don't think you can make a bad selection here! I'd highly recommend stopping in for a nice treat!

Love this spot! It's a must every time we're in Taos. The individual chocolates are such a decadent bite. And we love getting the mochas, not too sweet.
