"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
"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
"It should be no surprise that Little Havana’s chocolate factory would serve a variety of hot chocolates perfect for Miami winter. The hot chocolate at Exquisito Chocolates is made with single-origin Ecuadorian chocolate shaped into hot chocolate spoons meant to be stirred into hot milk. It comes in traditional cinnamon, peppermint, and marshmallow." - Amber Love Bond
"This chocolate hub features bars and truffles filled with everything from guava to champagne, hot chocolate, and even baking mixes. And for serious sugar buffs, tours of the store’s on-site factory are also available." - Olee Fowler
"In Miami, bean-to-bonbon Exquisito Chocolates prides itself on ethical sourcing." - Monica Burton
