Bean to bar chocolate factory: truffles, bars, confections
"This Little Havana chocolate factory and top choice for husbands who forgot their anniversary is tomorrow has moved to a larger location. But you can still find them on Calle Ocho making the same great chocolate from scratch, in addition to gelato and a small selection of pastries." - mariana trabanino
"Exquisito makes chocolate from scratch. They grind cacao beans from behind big glass windows, and the resulting chocolates you can buy here are excellent. They have a selection of bonbons filled with guava, passion fruit, and more rotating ingredients. They’ve also recently moved into a shiny new space down the street from their original shop on Calle Ocho. Now, there’s more space to sit and eat, in addition to gelato and a small selection of pastries. It’s still an essential stop for Miami chocolate lovers, and husbands who forgot their anniversary is tomorrow." - Ryan Pfeffer
"A single-origin chocolate maker that relocated to a 3,300-square-foot space featuring a working chocolate factory and retail shop; cacao is sourced from seven ethnically grown farms across Latin America and the Caribbean, and the new location adds an expanded café with freshly made pastries, beer- and wine-pairing options with chocolate, drinking chocolates, and ice cream, plus glass-wall viewing of chocolate production, guided tours, and chocolate-making classes." - Laine Doss
"A Miami bean-to-bonbon operation that prides itself on ethical sourcing — “you can see exactly how chocolate maker Carolina Quijano turns cacao into chocolate on this episode of Eater’s “Handmade.”” — and for Valentine’s Day offers a 19-piece, heart-shaped box of inventive confections that arrive wrapped in a red bow." - Monica Burton
"Miami’s very first chocolate factory is in the heart of Little Havana. There’s a retail shop in the front, and production takes place in the back, which is available to watch through large glass windows. Pop in here for chocolate truffles, bars, and confections that are made daily. Sign up for chocolate-making classes for the full experience." - Amber Love Bond
