Well made and good quality - Edit
I tried both the Traditional and Aztec chocolate, and loved each for its unique flavor. As a true chocolate lover who often enjoys the original Chuncho cacao from Peru, I can say this chocolate is top-quality, rich, well-prepared, and clearly made with care.

Great Aztec chocolate, calm place - Edit
I’ve tried their Aztec tasting board made with water, the iced chocolate made with oatmilk and the date(?) balls.
Read moreThe Aztec tasting board was absolutely amazing and I can highly recommend it.
The iced chocolate drink made on oatmilk was okay but too sweet for my taste.
There’s different non-vegan cake options (muffin, cookies) and some date(?)-chocolate-balls which are vegan. They taste fine, but imo they are a bit pricey for the size, and I would have wished one of the cookies had been vegan, too, for example. So come for the Aztec chocolate, not the cake options :)
I’ve been there twice and no music was playing - which to me is a big plus!
There’s a backgammon game and specific spots to sit in case you want to work on your computer.

Alright - Edit
The Aztec chocolate drink with oat milk is alright but nothing I would talk about afterwards.

A disappointing visit - Edit
I read the other reviews and had such high expectations but I ended up disappointed. There were some vegan options, yes. But three raw food balls which I am quite fed up with as a vegan.. I ended up having a vanilla milkshake which basically tasted like vanilla oat milk. The service wasn't that nice either.
Read moreMaybe we had just bad luck..
Cons: The service, Vegan options not good

Dear MLI85
Read moreThank you for taking the time to share your experience — even if it wasn't what you'd hoped for. We're truly sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet your expectations.
We aim to offer a unique and high-quality cacao-focused menu, and we understand that not everyone is looking for raw snacks .. That said, we’re always working to expand and refine our vegan offerings, and your feedback is valuable in that process.
We’re also sorry to hear that the service didn’t feel warm or welcoming — that's far from the experience we want anyone to have. We’ll definitely take your words to heart and use them to improve.
Best Regards

I didn’t want to try the energy balls at first, but they turned out to be really good, with a unique flavor of their own.

Pause gourmande 😋 - Edit
Le lieu est convivial, le gérant était très avenant, il a expliqué tous les détails et m'a fait un délicieux chocolat cru à la canelle option vegane servi dans une belle tasse ! J'ai pris une boule d'énergie aussi pour l'accompagner, aussi, il y a des éclats de fèves de cacao cru sur chaque table pour grignoter !
Read morePour chez moi, j'ai pris deux sachets individuels de préparation pour le chocolat chaud au gingembre et au chili, car je voulais découvrir d'autres saveurs aussi !
Pros: Lieu, décor , Gérant, Chocolat chaud vegan

Great hot chocolate in a calm environment - Edit
Located very close to the National Museum, this is a great spot to have a little bit of rest while sipping a great hot artisanal chocolate.
Read moreI liked that by default there's no sugar in it, so you can really enjoy the cacao taste.
Oat milk is used as vegan alternative.
The place is very cozy and the staff was welcoming.
Pros: nice hot chocolate, calm, friendly staff
Cons: not all vegan

Cocoa in a new way - Edit
Nice staff, and cocoa in a new way. Remember to ask for oat milk if you want it vegan. They also made their own, homemade raw-vegan chocolate bars and raw balls.

Did not meet our expectations. - Edit
We went there to expect a very special chocolat experience but what we got was a very average and overly sweet hot chocolat. Presentation of the cup is unique but taste only moderate. Pricy for what we got.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Nice presentation, Quiet environment
Cons: Very sweet, Nothing special
