Visit is worth ✨️ going. We wanted our kids having an experience showing them full.process from bean to bar! We were picking, roasting, grinding and making cocoa block. Tasted choco tea, cocoa with traditional method, tempered chcoclote and maing our own bar. At the end your racing also chocolate shake! Big kudos to Carlos who was really fantastic, very positive and so kind, he is well deserving pay rise! Owner should inwestujemy in some mosquito repellent outside as if we wouldnt used our own We would be essential alive.

We experienced the most interesting, genuine, cultural experience in La Casa del Chocolate in Santo Domingo. We had the pleasure to make chocolate from scratch with Marshall, the owner of the shop. He was very professional, kind, patient, made us feel comfortable and knew exactly what he was doing. We did not see the time flying because his love and passion of making chocolate took over and was definitely infused in us. His employees are very knowledgeable and well trained. You want to try something out of the ordinary, please visit La Casa del chocolate. Did you know cocoa tea existed? It was delicious. I will definitely take my son to this shop to make his own chocolate as well.

Je n'ai pas fait l'atelier mais la petite boutique est très sympa ! On y voit les différentes étapes de la fabrication du chocolat, on peut le déguster sous différentes formes et notamment en thé ! C'est une délicieuse découverte, qui fera un superbe cadeau souvenir. Les employés sont souriants et font des efforts pour comprendre les touristes que nous sommes et qui ne parlent pas correctement le langage local 😄

Me and my mother had the best time doing the bean to bar 2 hour experience! Our workshop leader Carlos was amazing, so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable! We got to try so many different chocolate based items along the way as well as making our own hot chocolate powder and chocolate bar to take away. I couldn't recommend this place more highly when coming to Santo Domingo.

Our group did the 20 minute chocolate making workshop. I'd say we spent an hour all together at the business. Our guide was great and spoke English. One of our Dominican friends was with us so another guide explained everything in Spanish too. This was the highlight for our kids on this trip to Santo Domingo. I highly recommend this for families. Also I see a 1 star review about things bought in the store that don't taste good. Everything we purchased was fantastic the tea and chocolate. The free samples are delicious as well. I recommend the tea!

Visited last month and took the 2 hour chocolate making course "from bean to bar" with Carlos, and it was great. He was caring, knowledgeable, and really made the experience special for us. All of the staff was friendly and offered samples of many different kinds of chocolate as soon as we walked in. If you love chocolate, or you're just looking for something to do in Colonial Santo Domingo, I recommend this place!

Went to their website and registered for their Chocolate workshop. The employee was great and walked us through every step. The workshop is so worth it! We got to taste Chocolate tea, hot chocolate, chocolate milkshake, and make/take home our own chocolate bar. This store also sells chocolate drinks, but does not advertise it. Highly recommend this chocolate workshop over KahKow. It was more personable and worth the time

Esp Experiencia inolvidable. Recorrido de ~2 horas donde aprendes todo el proceso del cacao, desde tostarlo hasta hacer tu propia bola para chocolate caliente y una barra con toppings. Incluye varias degustaciones (té de cacao, chocolate, etc.) y al final te llevas lo que preparas, más una batida deliciosa. Vale totalmente la pena el precio (~$20 USD), especialmente comparado con otras experiencias en la Zona Colonial. El servicio fue excelente, todos muy amables. Súper recomendado. --- Eng Unforgettable experience. A ~2-hour tour where you learn the full cacao process—from roasting to making your own hot chocolate ball and a chocolate bar with toppings. Includes multiple tastings (cacao tea, chocolate, etc.), and you take home what you make, plus a delicious milkshake at the end. Totally worth the price (~$20 USD), especially compared to other chocolate experiences in the Colonial Zone. The service was excellent—everyone was very kind. Highly recommend.

Experiencias únicas y las que he vivido aquí. Súper interesante como es la elaboración artesanal del cacao pero siento que la atención de las personas aquí es de otro nivel, que amabilidad, siempre sonrientes y graciosos. Entras y ya te da un aire de buena energía y vitalidad, totalmente relacionado al cacao y sus beneficiosos potenciados por los que allí lo hacen. Enamorado de ChocoPick RD 🍫

I had an amazing experience at Choco Pick’s bean-to-bar class. The 1.5-hour session (starting at 10:30am) was hands-on and very fun — we roasted and ground cacao beans, tempered chocolate, and made our own custom bars with toppings like almonds, peanuts, and marshmallows. The instructor was great and spoke excellent English, making the process easy to follow and engaging. We also got to taste chocolate tea, hot chocolate, and a chocolate smoothie, which made the whole experience feel like a full sensory journey. Overall, a 10/10 experience. Only tip: wear bug repellent if you’re sensitive to mosquitos, since the outdoor area can have a few — it’s the only small thing that might distract from an otherwise perfect visit.

Durante un Tour guidato di Santo Domingo, abbiamo avuto il piacere di poter visitare questo negozio! Devo dire che il personale effettua sia le degustazioni che i workshop,sono molto competenti nonché educati e gentili. Abbiamo avuto modo di assaggiare varietà di thè e liquori, nonché diverse tipologie di cioccolato e dolciumi artigianali. La qualità,a mia opinione, risulta davvero alta per ciò che concerne cioccolate e the; su alcune bevande alcoliche, trova il tempo che trova perché è un prodotto che può essere riprodotto anche in maniera autonoma a casa variando leggermente le dosi per accontentare i propri gusti (vendono il kit apposito). Trovo sia sicuramente una meta quasi obbligata, se vi trovate a passare in zona!

My wife and I loved our time here! We signed up for the 2-hour chocolate workshop and loved it. Our workshop leader Carlos was very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of chocolate and how it is made. We got to start with cacao beans, roasting and shelling and grinding them to a paste that we could then mold into balls to take home with us for making hot chocolate at home later. We also got to go into their regular workshop to try tempering chocolate and making our own chocolate bars to take home as well, along with getting chocolate milkshakes the end to help us beat the heat! We would absolutely recommend this for anyone that is in the area and likes chocolate and wants to learn more about it and get hands-on with the experience! (And thank you again Carlos for such a wonderful session!)

We got to visit this place by a tour guide that took us from our resort. The place is a bit tiny but very welcoming. The girl gave us a tour and samples of pretty much everything we asked for. I immediately loved the hot chocolate and chocolate tea so we bought that as well as their coconut chocolate liqueur. I bought the cocoa beans caramelized but they were stalled so that was disappointing and the hot chocolate well… I’m confused as to what all that powder is… I got added water as instructed but the hot chocolate I sampled did not look like this . It’s not dissolving. I had to use more than half the pack (i bought the small pack but it comes full) to try to get it to even taste like regular hot chocolate . I couldn’t drink it, there was too much of the powder graining on my teeth. But cool place to visit. Try some samples and I definitely recommend that liquor.

Lors d’un premier passage à Saint-Domingue 12 jours plus tôt nous avons visité cet endroit fabuleux avec une équipe attentionnée qui nous a fait découvrir la marque et ses produits. L’atelier de fabrication d’une barre de chocolat nous a été proposé. Nous avons été conquis et avons fait une réservation pour notre retour 12 jours plus tard. Nous sommes français. À notre arrivée nous nous sommes adressés à une employée qui tentait de comprendre le contexte de notre venue. La propriétaire est apparue en plein milieu de la conversation sans s’introduire et s’est comportée de manière ahurissante en nous demandant ce que nous voulions, un Airbnb ?, un lieu pour dormir? , est-ce que nous étions sûres que nous avions réservés pour Choco Pick ? tout cela entre deux rires moqueurs. Elle a fini par retrouver la réservation. Elle nous a demandé quelle était notre nationalité et jusqu’à ce qu’elle découvre que nous étions français elle nous a traité avec condescendance. Nous avons voulu nous en aller mais avons retrouvé l’un des employés que nous avions rencontré lors de notre première visite. Son sourire et sa prévenance nous ont fait changé d’avis au point d’acheter pour plus de 70 $ de marchandise. Le concept, l’atelier, les produits et le service client sont d’une grande qualité. La posture de la propriétaire, en revanche, nous a déçue.
