Chokola

Nice little spot. As soon as you walk in, it smells amazing. The chocolates are fantastic. All chocolates come straight from the source. Very nice vibe.

Loved this artisan chocolate shop. They have an open concept so you can watch them make the chocolate in the back. I popped in to get myself a little Valentine’s Day gift. I love the unique flavored the offer and how they incorporate herbs into their chocolates. The Barista was friendly and joked with me as he made my cappa. Wonderful staff. The have beautiful mural art as well

Chocolate paradise!!! Here, you can find everything chocolate; bars, mousses, cakes, bonbons, drinks. The hot chocolate is to die for!!! We chose two different options and both were delicious and VEGAN!!! We took a slice of chocolate whiskey cake..so decadent! Service is great and the place is warm and inviting. A must visit!

Cool little chocolate shop, they have really good dark chocolate. The mousse is also something worth trying. We went back to Taos just for this place. The dark chocolate Legos are so good.

The hot chocolate here was delicious, I would recommend the Aztec one especially. However, for a not even filled small cup of hot chocolate, and I'm talking a little smaller than Starbucks 'tall', we were charged about $7 with tax! This was definitely too expensive, but worth it since this was probably the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted.

Awesome. Tried hot latte and mousse with espresso shots. Ambience is good.

Amazing chocolates! The pastries and sipping chocolates are incredible.

We tried their sipping chocolate, so delightful and we purchase chocolate for a later on snack. They make their own chocolate and it’s a beautifully family own place. Truly enjoyed it.

Love everything there. But especially the mousse is amazing. Totally worth the sugar and calories. The to go place for a sweet treat!!!

- tasty chocolates almost too many options - patient staff - small operation - I liked the affogato

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 lovely place to enjoy some chocolate in different forms and spice levels too. The coziness of the place adds to the charm. The place is centrally located in Taos and must visit if one is not in mood for coffee for some reason.

This is a MUST visit. An unassuming shop with incredible chocolate and service. You cannot go wrong with the tasting trio. There are even a few tables around to enjoy a treat inside. The space is warm and welcoming.

Ordered four items and received the perfect version of each: Mocha with Aztec sipping chocolate, hot cocoa with lavender sipping chocolate, chocolate mousse with whipped cream, and chocolate brownie. Would give more stars if possible.

Yummm! This place is so decadent, and delicious! I always get the sipping chocolate 3oz and its a perfect amount or pure liquid goodness for my heart and soul. Quintessential little winter treat. Also, all the sipping chocolates are vegan The shop is cute, service is engaged and there are lots of options of chocolate to buy and then a solid menu of house made chocolate treats including multiple types of mousse, milkshakes, cookies etc. There is always a few flavors of mousse available and I have heard rave reviews from everyone I have been with who has ordered it including, "serving size was spot on. Melted in my mouth. Not too sweet, just right. Lil bit of whip cream was the cherry on top." Perfect central location, wonderful little shop that brightens my day.

Wow, wow, wow. This place is a must if you appreciate chocolate I highly recommend trying their drinking chocolate & they make it with oat milk (yay!). It's rich, decadent and spicy if you want it. I also picked up a piece of their GF hazelnut chocolate cake - it reminded me of a perfected forerro rocher. They had other GF & V cakes / brownies. They had tons of specialty chocolate bars outside of their own. We had been to a few local new mexico chocolate shops and this one takes the cake.

Totally delicious chocolate pudding here. Everything people said is true. That rich, decadent chocolate pudding goes straight into the bloodstream. Love how you can get a sampler of three different kinds of things (not just hot chocolates and not just chocolate puddings). But if you're choosing between one or the other, get the simple chocolate pudding (not flavored) with a dollop of whipped cream and your day will be instantly improved z

A little hole in the wall chocolate haven. Through the years we've tried the hot chocolate's, and everything else. Service is quick and fast.

It's a small chocolat shop in Taos plaza. They have an extensive Chocolat collection including bon bon and mousse. The Aztec is the favorite here which we all tried but my favorite was Arabian with a hint of coffee and cardamom. The French vanilla is also pretty good. The dulce de leche was on point. Try this out for an indulgent warm Beverage. The space is cozy but I did see some people working there. Maybe seating for 10. The place is on the pricier side so be prepared for it

What a cool place! We stopped in for sipping chocolate, and found that we were treated to some very special flavors. Options for hot cocoa were available with hot milk at it, but that was not the recommendation of our server. We also tried some of the house made chocolate which we're just outstanding. A cool little shop with awesome flavors. Check it out.

Disappointed that no one returns your voice message. I'm trying to get the cacao-- Madagassar & Venzuala. Someone in October 2023 did call and mentioned the store was upgrading their equipment. Called in February x 3.... crickets. It's a great little store with different kinds of goodies, but customer service needs to improve

I had a snow fall. It was hot chocolate over ice cream. I had their vanilla chocolate with vanilla ice cream. They were out of most of their hot chocolate options so I went with the most basic one. It was really tasty. Not too dark. Good sweet flavor. Loved it over the ice cream. A nice afternoon treat.

The awards and other reviews speak for themselves but I wanted to add my own voice. I can't stop thinking about this place. The truffles and mousse are poetry. Each piece I tried was more perfect than the last. Even the decor is beautiful. Probably worth traveling to Taos just for this one spot.

This place has the best chocolate mousse, the hot chocolate is to die for too. The servers are really helpful and always willing to give you sample so you make the best choices. We always come few times each time we visit.

Cutest little place to stop after a bite for some local delights! The Zia Nopales Prickly Pear soda was refreshing and not overly sweet! Their selection of chocolates, the majority being dark or pure cacao, is extensive. Owners were nice & and welcoming, plus extremely patient as we decided which bites to nibble on!

Everything, and I mean everything, in Chokola is worthwhile, from the ambiance, the service, the truffles, bars, mousse, sipping chocolates, tortes, cakes... yummy!!! This is obviously high quality chocolate that can be savored while you sit on the patio enjoying the sunshine, or take it home. Pro tip: always ask for the goat cheese truffle. It doesn't taste goat cheesy but is smooth and creamy and outstanding!

I normally never make a review about mocha but this mocha that (I think it was with Arabian chocolate) was the most amazing hot drink I have ever had. The smell, the presentation, the taste, I dream of when I leave Taos and when I return, Chokola is my first stop.

Just got a couple pieces of chocolate - the raspberry and coffee were perfection! The selection is unique and definitely would return next time in Taos! Friendly service and cute little shop with outdoor seating

This place has to have one of the best desserts I've ever had! Different kinds of chocolate varieties, styles, and flavors are unique. All the moose flavors were so good! The ability to mix different flavors into one cup allows for you to try each of them. In addition the hot chocolate was amazing as well! I will definitely come here again!

We have traveled a lot...including Switzerland....but this little shop has the best hot chocolate ever!!!

EXCEPTIONALLY DELICIOUS!!!! Very special place here. Best hot chocolate I have ever had in my life hands down! The Aztec, Lavender, and spicy chipotle are my favs. PERFECT location, on a lively alley with street musicians and plenty of seating. Feels like something in France maybe. YOU MUST GO! YUMVILLE !!!!

We were really thrilled to find this place!! Our original plan was to go to Madrid that day because we have a favorite chocolate shop there, but he was closed so we did another day trip to Taos and surprisingly found another favorite chocolate shop to add to our list. There's drinking chocolate, little bites of chocolate to buy, iced teas, coffee drinks - and a mousse bar! We were greeted with a smile from a very sweet (Australian??) woman who told us her favorites. Ended up getting a freshly baked brownie, a coconut milk vegan cupcake, and a small cup of white chocolate mousse with some whipped cream. Their black chai iced tea tasted delicious with the chocolate. There's seating outside and inside but it's a little limited. Cute and quaint little store, we will go back when we are in the area.

This shop was quite unique and quaint. For a chocoholic like myself I absolutely had to stop here. The service was great and everything was explained thoroughly. I feel like we tried one of everything they offered. We tried the chilled chocolate drink with lavender (I love botanicals and savory spices in sweets by the way). We did the make your own tart with dulce de leche mousse and chocolate. We sampled almost every one of their chocolates. My absolute faves #1 Rosemary (I loved these so much I bought two more when I was done ) #2 lavender, #3 salted caramel. I love their chocolate and I would make a point to go back whenever I'm in the Taos area!

A charming chocolatier with a hip atmosphere and a great selection of chocolate bars, bon bons, mousses, and more. The Madagascar mousse was incredible and the earl grey caramel bon bon was particularly memorable.

Have you been to Angelina's in Paris? Their hot chocolate isn't very different. Delicious chocolates, great service. Taos vibe. We are fans!

The hot chocolate is essentially a warm bowl of melted chocolate- insanely good. I had the Arabica blend and it was so creamy smooth and rich. They offer three sizes - I had the middle, which was 5oz. It seemed so small compared to your typical coffee shop, but it's so rich that more than this might actually be too much. I won't say it's the downside exactly, but a 5oz cup costs $6. Not cheap, but definitely with it.

We had a great experience here! Friendly and helpful service as we selected some chocolates for a gift. The sipping chocolate was delightful (and vegan!) and we also took home a piece of chocolate olive oil cake that was also vegan. There is something for everyone here! Cute little shop with outdoor seating.

Chocolate is good but the gentleman that works there, possibly the owner, just lets people cut in line in front of you. I will never be going back.

I love chocolate and I love this local "bean to bar" small-batch chocolate shop. They are decorated award winners from the Academy of Chocolate worldwide competition (in 2020!). Needless to say, chocolate lovers don't dare leave Taos without paying this sweet treat shop and their kind chocolatiers a visit. They have various sophisticated presentations of chocolate treats including hot chocolates, truffles, candies, pastries, ice cream, espresso & milkshakes. As I explored the menu and pondered what to order excitement flowed through my body as if I were in the presence of Willy Wonka himself. We were delighted and made all the happy noises as we savored each experience of our hot chocolate & mousse trio. I really enjoyed the variety of flavors and textures. Next time I want to be sure to grab a chocolate bar or two for the road. If you're thinking of bringing gifts from your travels to family and friends back home, this is a fantastic spot to start.

Mousse. This place has many sweets, but the mousses are incredible. White chocolate and Madagascar are faves. Dulce de leche is delish too. These rich mousses come in 3 sizes with a dollop of whipped cream. It doesn't get any better than this.

*GET THE 'SIPPING CHOCOLATE'* Great gift idea! Local CHOCOLATE available here Awesome customer service Everything is delicious My favorite is the Azteca sipping chocolate. Try the very smallest because you'll be bouncing off the walls otherwise Super cute shop where you can sit and enjoy your delicious treat. Love this place!

Listen guys, Chokolà should be illegal. The lavender caramel is hands down the best chocolate caramel I've ever tried. Made our last stop in here after a day of shop hopping and while we found some great Taos finds on our spring break putting the chocolates here were something else. If the 5 stars and rest of this post didn't convince you to stop in and try their sipping chocolate, truffles, award winning chocolate bars, or decadent vegan desserts let me tell you I stopped in 3 times in a 10 minute span to get their gift boxes so I could share with people how amazing it tasted. Smooth, flavorful, and beautiful presentation! I didn't catch the name of the woman who helped me but she was wonderful.

This amazing shop doesn't need anymore 5-star reviews but I shall give it another, plus plus!! Best chocolate EVER! Teeny shop with 3-4 small tables inside and out in downtown Taos that packs a punch. Touts 3rd best in world. Initially that was a bit of a deterrent but it certainly didn't stop me from popping in for a treat. Previous experiences with artisan chocolate have been less than stellar...pretentious, bitter and tasteless. Not the chocolate from Chokola. I've consumed a lot of chocolate in my 62-years and this by far was beyond adjectives fabulous and I knew I was partaking in something special. Just because it seemed like the thing to do, my friend and I each ordered a small sipping chocolate...if I recall correctly, there were perhaps 5 or 6 to choose from. I was handed that perfectly warm cup of frothy, chocolatey goodness and on 1st sip, I saw stars! It was that good! If you're really up for some decadence, go for the flight. My friend declared her sipping chocolate OMG delicious as well. Now...what to choose for evening and next day consumption...decisions...decisions. There were pastries, cookies, cakes, candies and a display of decadent looking bowls of whipped to fluffy perfection mousse. A few perfect squares of chocolate, a bit of chocolate tart with whiskey and a florentine were packed in little boxes and bagged up. When it was FINALLY time to partake in an evening treat, you would have thought I had never tasted chocolate before...it was that delicious. Every aspect...taste, texture, lusciousness! The crisp of the florentine with a hint of bitter orange. The texture of the tart and the perfectly rich chocolatey taste were sublime.. I'm sure there are technical chocolate tasting words but all you need to concern yourself with is deliciousness and don't leave Taos without it!

Thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate from here... check them out if you're in Santa Fe and you're a chocolate fan...

Serious hot chocolate, and I don't mess around when it comes to hot chocolate...try the Arabian, it's fantastic.

The husband's point of view:: Coffee here is perfect, the Mochas are 'as good as they get', mousse bar is extraordinary, ambiance is intelligent and interesting, the chocolates are the best anywhere and actually are served with amazing humility! You cannot live well and miss this.

What a lovely shop! We ordered the mousse trio with Madagascar chocolate mousse w whipped cream, hazelnut mousse and coffee mousse. All were exceptional. The service is wonderful as well. Staff was friendly, patient and informative. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day after a hike for the Aztec sipping chocolate. The brownie was rich and delicious and the chocolate chip cookie was crisp and perfect. We grabbed a few bons bons as a gift on the way out. This is just a wonderful little, high quality shop. The cakes and tarts looks amazing as well. Go here without hesitation.

What a lovely space with amazingly delicious and unique offerings. My sipping chocolate and mouse trio was like a little slice of heaven.

A perfect place for a treat after walking in historic Taos. Chocolate lovers rejoice: if you're looking for a place with chocolate, and nothing but chocolate, this is it! The milkshake was our party's overwhelming favorite, but we did enjoy a tasting menu with chocolate confections across the spectrum: dulce de leche mousse, dark chocolate mouse, chocolate ice cream, chocolate sorbet, drinking chocolate, and little chocolate bon bons. This place has it all! It's clearly popular, but the staff were quick and attentive and it was worth the stop.

Delicious sweet overload, but definitely worth it! Everything is made in house so of course it's made with love! We had a double order of the Trio so we could try everything. We picked the Lemon & Ginger mousse, Aztec Sipping chocolate, Vanilla bean ice cream, Hazelnut Chocolate chip cookie, Rosemary Caramel bonbon, and Passionfruit Bonbon. Everything was amazing and semi sweet. We enjoyed the cookie and ice cream the best. The Mousse would be a refreshing treat. Little tip mix the sipping chocolate with the ice cream... you will thank me later!

Small and busy but efficient. They offer some delicious chocolate goods. We tried mousse, iced chocolate, and ice cream for the kiddo. Everything was delicious and the service exceeded my expectation, especially on a busy Saturday. All-around favorite was the dulce de leche mousse.

This is a sophisticated, trendy joint located in the heart of the Taos tourist area. They have plenty in house prepared delicacies. They have a small seating area both inside and outside the joint. The prices are expensive and that's something the business can work towards in order to attract more customers..

Charming chocolatiers shop with a Chocolat vibe. Bean to bar, gourmet chocolate bars, tasting trios and sipping chocolates that only delight. As we walked in the smell alone filled us up. Such rich, delectable flavors and perfect hot chocolates for the weather. Perfect spot to pick up omiyage (gifts) for friends and fambs. A definitive "YASSSS QUEEN"

This place has AMAZING chocolates. So rich and beautifully decorated. My favorite was the earl grey. Caramels were also delicious and I'm not a fan of most caramels that taste like pure sugar; but these had a dark molasses flavor. Don't forget to try the chocolate mousse! The texture is light, but with rich, dark chocolate flavors. Salted caramel was a friend's favorite, but was a little too sweet for me.

I saw "mousse" on the window, and I had to go in. Birthday calories don't count, and I hadn't had nearly enough sweets yet when we went in. It was like walking into chocolate heaven. They make everything on site (omg), and it was cool to catch glimpses into the back with them making all the treats. The man at the counter was super patient while I debated over what I wanted to get. Even though I wanted to get all of the things, I decided on a little cup of white chocolate mousse... but it did not end there. No no. Next there was whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and cacao nibs. It was intense and rich and delicious. It you don't like too much sweet, this might not be the place for you, but if you love chocolate, you really need to go here. My boyfriend had a chocolate whiskey tart dusted with cocoa, and "it was good," in his loquacious words. (I feel like that's a bit of an understatement).

Absolutely delicious unique chocolate treats and a cute place to sit, too. Super friendly staff too!

Found this place on a whim. The person working, obviously at the end of a long shift and out of many things, was still able to take the time to answer my questions and recommend what to get, even with a bunch of people in line. Great tasting drinking chocolate ! He also made sure I knew to grab some water they have for customers. Cute tables outside to sit at and people watch. He was also very kind to a less fortunate man passing by outside and gave him some chocolates.
