AMAZING chocolate! Such inspiring craftsmanship, artistry and so much thought put into the flavours. You can see the kitchen right from the window and watch the whole process. We tried the Venezuela 41% (my favourite, it has NATURAL caramel taste), pistachio, Dubai chocolate, pink salt, mango habanero, hazelnut praline, and the orange rum. The owner is so so lovely as well!

Amazing chocolates, tons of flavors, and shipped right to the house (with tons of padding and cooling packs). My favorite was the mango habanero and the 70% Venezuelan! Definitely recommend going in person if you can or ordering online.

Ordered for the first time for Valentine's Day and was obsessed with the presentation, quality and the way they make the chocolates fresh before shipping. I live in Lake Dallas, Texas, like 5 hours from Houston, and they shipped 2 days before Valentine's and I got them in time. My husband was very happy and now wants some for every holiday haha.

The best Venezuelan chocolate in the Houston area. It was my first time at the Katy location and the attention from the lady there was terrific. I asked many questions and she answered with a big smile and patience. Her recommendations were impeccable, a lot of variety for many special occasions. I highly recommend this place!! I will be back soon, I promise!!

The store is clean and they make the chocolates in the Katy branch. The staff is very nice and friendly. The chocolates have a nice shape and color, the flavors are very good. My friend liked it as well, her child and husband liked it too. I recommend it for gifts as well.

After moving back to south TX, this is the best chocolate I have found. Any time I am in Houston, I try to go by and indulge myself. It's become a Christmas tradition to order boxes for friends, family, and my office. During COVID, they were the special treat as they shipped.
