Xocolatl

Just the nicest, knowledgeable chocolate makers on the face of the planet. If you really like to geek out on how chocolate is made, flavor profiles, and how to use different cocoa products, just talk to amazing staff.
They even gave me a new cup of drinking chocolate when there was a misunderstanding about what I ordered.
They’re just a great small business that you want to support and see thrive!

Wow. Amazing stuff. Passionate, intriguing, downright tasty! Pricey… yep. Worth it? In spades. Give it a run… you won’t be disappointed… great as a gift… great to treat yourself. Try it… it’s a win!

Do you absolutely love chocolate? Are you the type of person who doesn’t think twice about spending $ 50+ on a bottle of wine (not talking about in a restaurant here)? Xocolatl is probably for you!
The quality of the chocolate really is superb. But I have to factor in value in the rating, and that’s why this is a 3-​star review. $ 9 for a bar of chocolate is just nuts. I’m pretty sure I’ve never paid more than $ 5 for a single bar of similar size, and while this chocolate is fantastic, it’s not the best I’ve had.
The gentleman working when I stopped by gave me a great explanation of their process, as well as several samples of their chocolate, and I like supporting local businesses, so I forked over the $ 9.50 for a single flavored chocolate bar. I tried 4 different chocolates, and they were all delicious. But I’d never spend $ 9 for a bar of chocolate again. Or $ 8. Or even $ 7 (but at $ 7 I could justify a 4-​star rating). $ 6 for this quality is starting to get within reason, but I’ve had similar quality in the $ 4 – 5 range.
Again, great chocolate. Love the process. But I think they’re going to have to get their prices down to succeed long term.

I don’t normally like dark chocolate, but this stuff is AMAZING.
They have samples you can try and the staff tells you all about how the ingredients are sourced and why something tastes the way it does.
We bought a few bars and eat just one little piece and that one piece is so delicious and satisfying that you don’t need any more than just a bite.

Not what I expected. really! I thought this place was going to be one of those chocolate let downs. but to my surprise it wasn’t! All the chocolate is made 100% organic isn’t that sweet?! Also all the chocolate has its unique flavor.
The owner of this chocolate shop let my sister, Crystal H and I try a few of their chocolate flavors which were Madagascar and Soul Rebel.
Madagascar — had a slight dark chocolate flavor but had a bit of vanilla flavor to it
I should have gotten this one. because it was the one I tried first. I should have followed my instincts. but noooo I wanted to be adventurous and try out Americana and I didn’t even try it at the time. ugh.
Soul Rebel — tasted good at first, then comes the spiciness to the chocolate bar; THAT! My dear Unilocalers were the after taste of the spices (not my kind of chocolate. I am not a fan of this spicy chocolate and my taste buds feel all funny-​like. hard to describe.) But it was a good thing I tried it! YOLO! lol
In the end, I ended up buying the Americana which was infused with apple, vanilla & pie spices. ok ok. the only reason why I got this one was because the owner told me that it tasted like apple pie and chocolate infused together.
Americana Apple, Vanilla & Pie Spices ($ 9.50)
When I got home, I tried it and I’d give the chocolate ²⁄₅ stars only because it tasted nothing like apple pie chocolate. I tasted bits of apple and spices but the chocolate itself wasn’t what I was expecting it to be. it was dark chocolate and I’m not of fan of dark chocolate. So maybe not for me and someone else who enjoy eating dark chocolate might have enjoyed it but not for me.
I do like how the chocolate has a cute cover and the chocolate bar itself has a cute design on it.
Wish that the chocolate bars weren’t priced so high, though. they’re pretty much like regular sized chocolate bar. only difference was that they’re homemade. I get my chocolate bars from Godiva and their bars are a lot bigger for the price ($ 10 ea).
The customer service was ok. I don’t want to go into detail on this (if you want to know, then you can message me but I don’t feel like it’s necessary to add it to my review. only because I don’t know. that’s how I felt about the whole service and I don’t want to offend anybody).
Overall, for my first visit, I would come back and try the other flavored chocolate or maybe I’ll just get the regular (normal) flavored ones instead.

I received three chocolate bars as a gift. One had «bloomed,» so I returned it to the store, where they exchanged it with an apology. The replacement bar is the best chocolate I have ever tried. It’s quite expensive, but my husband and I are enjoying a little each night, and after two weeks we still haven’t finished off a single bar. «Mermaid Kisses» (with coconut, cacao nibs and sea salt) is my absolute favorite, and I look forward to returning to the store to try their other flavors. Customer service was wonderful, by the way, and they offer free samples.

With the same name as the SoHo spot (apparently they hear that a lot), we weren’t sure what to expect at this Krog Street Market vendor, but were pleasantly surprised by their product, and equally confused by them selling seemingly more of others’ items than their own.

I stopped by on my first visit to the Krog Street Market. They offer samples of available chocolate bars. I tried two samples and I ended up purchasing the Sour Rebel (Coconut milk & jerk spices). It has subtle heat. I’ll be back to try different chocolates.

Best chocolate around. Period. Their flavors are delicious, inventive, and playful. Their staff is friendly and will walk you through how chocolate is made and why their bars are purer than other bars.
After dinner my wife and i usually have desert. With these bars, we eat a little and are fully satisfied, so no need to gorge on ice cream or cookies.
Highly recommend this place to anyone who cares about great craft products.
