Ben B Coco Chocolate Factory

I came for the famous Dubai chocolate and no, I wouldn’t get it again. It doesn’t taste like pistachio or kataifi at all, and it’s missing that crunchy texture you expect. Definitely overpriced for what it is. HOWEVER, I would come back to try other chocolates. You can tell they use high quality ingredients, and everything is beautifully presented. The packaging is lovely, and the service was good. Just don’t fall for the Dubai chocolate hype.

Wonderful experience at Ben B Coco. We had delicious chocolate ice cream, picked up some elegant and unique bars, and got a sample of fresh dripping dark chocolate while it was being made. The owner took the time to tell us about how the chocolate is made and sourced, plus tips for exploring Wynwood in general. (and there’s air conditioning so it’s a great escape from the heat!)

Where do I begin... I'm visiting in Miami for a few days and was looking for something different and special for my wife's birthday. I read almost every review on this establishment and it seemed that 99% were positive. So I booked an appointment for the 90-minute workshop. The owner (Ben) is currently out of town but his co-worker, Gian Flores, was BEYOND amazing. He gave us all the time in the world, answering questions patiently, etc but most of all demonstrating TRUE PASSION and LOVE for his craft. He is a masterful artist. And he will inspire to embrace your own passions. Gian helped us decorate our own bars of chocolate after he patiently described to us the entire process, "from bean to bar". This store is the real deal. I highly recommend that you look into the way they make their products on-site right before your eyes. The reviewers were not exaggerating. Lucy greets every customer with a warm smile and makes you feel glad you decided to visit. Looking forward to my next experience!

Get ready for a hands-on and intimate chocolate learning experience. The private chocolate experience was fun for the whole family, and the tastings were super interesting and, most importantly, delicious. Ben’s passion for his craft shines through in each of his creations. He is extremely knowledgeable and happy to show and share all of his secrets. I highly recommend!

Absolutely AMAZING place and experience! Highly recommend stopping by for some of the most beautiful and decadent chocolate you have ever had while dealing with the nicest, most patient and knowledgeable people! I did the chocolate making class with 10 of my girlfriends last night and it was an incredible and super fun experience. Ben is very patient and helpful while teaching the group and letting us taste a little bit of everything as he walks us through all things chocolate. Lucy was a delight in helping us and making us feel comfortable and ensuring that we had the perfect night. Don’t miss out! The flavors, colors and vibe cannot be beat.

The owner is amazing in that he studied chocolate making in Chicago and then apprenticed around the world to improve his knowledge and skills even better before coming back to Miami to open his chocolate store several years ago. He cares deeply about providing the best quality, chocolate, and he achieves that because I’ve never tasted something like this. Fresh, pure ingredients, creative, and extremely tasty. Go to the store in person and you’ll be treated like royalty. In addition, you can walk around the area, which is a wonderful art district with many cool murals.

Had an amazing time getting the full experience chocolate making workshop at Ben B Coco. It was a pleasure getting to know Ben and his team as well as learning the history of cacao beans. They were very friendly and hospitable to the class. The hands on work that I was able to participate in took me back to the years I was in pastry class. I miss being able to work with chocolate and I was ecstatic that I got to do this again. Definitely gonna keep coming back. 😊😎

Ben B Coco is a hidden gem of the chocolate industry. The owner, Ben was kind enough to show us all the incredible way to make chocolate. The innovation of every one of his products is just a matter piece. I’ve never tasted real Nutella or real chocolate of the shell. Everything was fully organic and made in his own restaurant, my visit was not only delicious but healthy. I will definitely be bring the family to enjoy his creations!

Chocolate was delicious, lots of unique and wonderful flavors to choose from. The chocolatier was very personable and knew what he was talking about. Fun place to visit and they have samples also. They wrap your chocolate in a thermal bag with an ice pack since, as he said "it is Miami, it will melt"

I could smell the chocolate even before walking into the shop! Located on 26th street in Wynwood, Ben B Coco is a bean to bar chocolate shop with an array of options. Ben and Lucie were super friendly and kind enough to offer some samples before committing to a chocolate bar. Bars go for $12.50-$18, which in my experience is fair and standard for this kind of high quality chocolate. Everything is made in house with whole ingredients and minimal sugar to get optimal tastes. The cacao definitely shines in these chocolates! The cherry on top is the beautiful presentation of the products. They also offer bon bons and other treats like caramel turtle, chocolate dipped candied ginger, and more! There is 100% chocolate and no sugar options as well as milk, white, dark in a variety of flavors. I left with a handful of bars, my favorite being the chuncho 85% for its sweetness despite being a high percentage. The cacao itself has a sweet flavor. I fell in LOVE. Honorable mentions for 100% dark chocolate and Café. OH I had the chance to meet Ben, the owner, and he's very kind with a passion for his creations! Had a great experience!

Fans of dark chocolate and its multitude of derivatives should definitely add an enjoyable visit to Ben B Coco while they are in the area. Entering the doorway, you are quickly hit with the earthy smell of the cacao beans lining the walls of the shop. Lucy and Ben were immediately so helpful in explaining the different selections and allowed me to sample any and all the types of chocolates they had available. My favorite was definitely the candied ginger dark chocolate, which you can get in bar form or individually dipped pieces. If you want to get out of your comfort zone, I would highly suggest trying the sugar free or 85% and higher versions of the chocolates markedly because of the smoothness and nice tartness. This is definitely a hidden gem in the Wynwood Art District, from the service to the quality of the cacao beans used.

Walking in the smell in dark chocolate hits you in the face. You can see them physically making the chocolate bars. Very cool. There's a bunch of chocolates for you to sample and the chocolate bars themselves are beautiful! On a hot day in Miami the cashier gave an ice pack with the chocolate so it would not melt. High quality service right there!

Premium chocolate maker located in wynwood. I have a friend that owns a shop in wynwood and he kept telling me about this place. I happened to be walking by and decided to drop in. Most of their chocolate is from beans sourced from central and South America and you can get it in the form of bars and various confections including covered nuts, enrobed rice crisps and more. The gentleman working the counter was very friendly and had me try a few different flavors to help me decide on what I wanted to purchase. Prices are at a premium but definitely match what you are purchasing. And what I really like is that if tell them you are purchasing to eat later they will put a chocolate in a thermal sleeve along with a small ice pack to ensure the chocolate doesn't melt before you get home. Definitely impressive. I purchased a 82% dark chocolate bar, a peanut butter and chocolate treat, and some chocolate covered oreos. Everything tasted great!

I saw this cute chocolate shop while driving in Wynwood and decided to pop in. I am soooo glad we did! Not only is the chocolate AMAZING the owner is a really nice guy and he has very creative and flavorful combinations; from chocolate coated orange and ginger (milk or dark), chocolate covered caramelized hazelnuts to chocolate bars w fig/raisins/edible flowers to name a few. Chocolate covered dates, a peanut butter bar that's better than a snickers bar and chocolate salted carmel squares. Ben has vegan options like passion fruit covered pistachios and fruit flavored bars. And his packaging is BEAUTIFUL If you are in the Miami/Wynwood are Ben. B. Coco is a shop you must go to

Beautiful store front, delicious chocolate! Ben gave us a lot of samples and everything was amazing. It was my birthday and he gifted me a free chocolate bar! We purchased passionfruit chocolate pistachios, coffee chocolate and passionfruit!

This place is amazing! Came here to find my husband a Valentine's Day treat - and they did not disappoint. Their chocolates are beautiful and delicious! They will let you sample - the service is so good. The ambiance smells like chocolate because they are making it fresh while you watch!

Great place for artisan chocolate. Amazing flavors, ambience, and vibe. Came for a chocolate making class. Learned a ton about the chocolate making process and techniques. Our group was able to go through a full tasting as well. 5/5 stars!

While in Wynwood, I just happened to walk down this street and spotted this chocolate factory and I must say it was the best unexpected experience ever! Upon walking in, the energy and aromas from the chocolate were vibrant and exciting. The chocolate maker was very very kind and shared the basics of the process and where the cacao comes from and provided samples to try which were all absolutely amazing. They are all well balanced and had incredible flavor profiles. There are so many flavors to choose from and the best part is they make them all there! Delightful experience through and through. Highly recommend making this a stop on your visit through Wynwood.

Happened to stumble upon this place during my lunch break walk and OMGGG, chocolate lovers, you must visit this place. It is heavenly. Service was also on point. The owner and creator gave me samples of many of the flavors they offer and I ended up taking the passion fruit with cacao nibs bar. They package everything nicely even with an ice pack since I was going to continue to walk around and it was at least 100 degrees out. This is my new favorite shop in Wynwood :D

Absolutely amazing, delicious, unique, and high quality chocolate. A little something for everyone including flavors you didn't know you needed. Ben is incredibly helpful and passionate about his craft. The shop itself is beautiful as well. You must try it!

Ben B Coco was an amazing experience! We got to taste all different types of chocolate and make our own chocolate bars which was so much fun. The owner Ben and everyone who works there is beyond helpful, accommodating and sweet. They are super knowledgeable about chocolate which made it a fun and informative experience. The chocolate flavors are super unique and taste very high quality. Passion fruit chocolate bar was one of the best things I tasted! Definitely stop by!

Found the spot while walking in wynwood. The chocolate spinning from the window caught our attention. I met a nice couple who made some recommendations. They were regulars in the business. Very sweet of them. I think it was Gio who helped me. He let me try a few samples and it was all delicious! I bought the chocolate coffee bar. It was so good. I'm not a sweet person but I will definitely keep coming to try other items. The packaging is so creative and I love that you can give them as gifts. Must try place for a delightful treat!

Too notch chocolatiers!!! I highly recommend this place!!! The staff is incredible & the chocolate is the best in the world!!!

The chocolate is delicious. The owner let us taste every we wanted to try before we bought it. The single source cocoa is very cool. We tried all kinds of chocolate and wound up buying a gift for an anniversary. Chocolates to enjoy on our stay in Miami and some to bring home. The owner was super nice and hospitable. Definitely stop by if you need to buy some really good, unique chocolates.

Yes absolutely 5 stars! This place was amazing and exceeded my expectations of chocolate! They have a large selection of delicious chocolate and many different flavors to choose from! The owner Ben was so nice and helpful. If you like chocolate you gotta come check this spot out!

Oh my god. Oh. My god. This place changed my life. Went in just to browse and ended up buying like $60 worth of chocolate. It was so good. The fruit flavors are wild. Go here. Buy chocolate. Life will instantly improve.

Wife and I stumbled into Ben B Coco this past Friday while being tourists in Wynwood and OMG - the BEST random move we ever made. This place is chocolate heaven. We were helped by the owner Ben, who was so nice, accommodating and friendly. He offered us samples of any chocolate we wanted to taste and recommended some great flavors. Everything was DELICIOUS. Flavors we tasted included: Coffee with hazelnut, Blueberry Yogurt, Dulce De Leche, Raspberry, Milk Chocolate (they had tons more flavors, so hard to choose!) - I've never had such a phenomenal and tasty quality of chocolate! We've been eating tons of HU and other 'boutique' chocolate in LA, but this chocolate was by far the BEST we've had. Ben made sure to send us off with a cold pack so our chocolate wouldn't melt as we continued around Wynwood. Incredible chocolate - not to miss, friendly and great owner, and I hope he can ship to NY!!!

Such a lovely experience!! Chocolate is exquisite and Ben was so hospitable. Literally stuck head in and ended up staying 20 min, buying 4 different treats and learned a bit as well! White chocolate passion fruit is insane. Support this hidden gem !! Highly recommend!!

This is my new favorite chocolate place in south Florida. They have a great selection of unique, high quality chocolates and warm, friendly, informative service. We went home with a variety of bars and almonds and I can't wait to go back to try more. One of my favorites is their raspberry chocolate almonds -- the raspberry flavor is fresh, bright, and a little unexpected pleasure in dark chocolate. We also got the dulce de leche with a sprinkling of salty goodness, the pistachio dark bar, figs on dark, more chocolate almonds, and a milk bar with candied almonds -- my other fave. All the bars had a great, crisp break and perfect sheen. They packed our bars nicely with complimentary ice packs and they made it home in perfect condition 4 hours later. My only disappointment is they're closed on Saturdays.

The best chocolate I have ever tasted! It's well worth a visit and Ben is generous with his time and extensive knowledge of art of chocolate.

Wonderful experience and amazing chocolate! A must visit whenever in Wynwood. Thanks for your hospitality, Ben!

Amazing chocolate and Ben is so friendly! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

The chocolates are heavenly here. We had no plans to visit a chocolate shop but glad we came upon Ben B Coco. The chocolatiers were so kind to us. They not only let us try samples but gave us cold water - in a ridiculous hot day - while we waited for our ride-share. The strawberry chocolate was one of my favorites. Thank you for your delicious chocolates and kindness.

Ben is truly amazing and his chocolate is among the best I've ever tasted! A much needed addition to Miami.

The best chocolate my lips have every tried.... Definitely see this place if you love chocolate.

Welcoming vibe. Tastings and suggestions and OMG the chocolate is TO DIE FOR! Highly recommend this. Do not pass on this one!

1000% would recommend!! Was walking with a friend & found this place. The owner was so sweet and gave us a bunch of samples to try & helped out pick out chocolates based on what we liked. He also gave me a little treat for my birthday! The chocolate is beyond amazing & will be coming back here very soon!

I was walking around Wynwood and wanted to check this place out. If you like artisanal chocolate, this is going to be your go-to place. From the vast flavors from chocolates to caramels, you will find something you will become obsessed with. The fruit chocolate is my favorite. Yes, Chocolate, made from fruit. You have never had anything like it before. I am currently munching on it now. Not only is everything so tasty and rich, but the presentation is beyond gorgeous. My favorite part about this chocolatier is you see the process from scratch. I never Yelp review but if I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Great place to get gifts for a host, birthday, etc.

I am a dark chocolate lover and this chocolate is above all my expectations. Ben's chocolate melts in your mouth and leave a taste of fudge and bright fruitiness on your tongue. I highly recommend it.
