La mejor experiencia para san Valentín, increíble nos encanto a mí y a mí pareja. Hicimos el taller exprés y la verdad que fue increíble tanto el probar como hacer el chocolate y conocer la historia de este Me gustaría destacar el gran trato que recibimos por todos, en especial de quien nos enseñó todo Adrián. muy buena experiencia recomendable.

Hicimos chocolate y a mi hijo le encantó la experiencia. Muy agradable el personal y muy rico el chocolate!

Qué descubrimiento! Producto increíblemente bueno. Probé el helado de pistacho, el chocolate 70% y el chocolate negro con café. Todo de 10. También la atención del chico que está hoy sábado 10 de enero por la tarde, es un encanto, súper profesional. Lo recomiendo 100% 🥰

Los helados y batidos estaban muy buenos. Está bien situada en una plaza grande donde te tomas el helado a gusto. En Mijas hay 2 de la misma cadena. Helados buenos.

Hicimos la visita al museo, la degustación de chocolate y el taller de elaboración de chocolates. Tengo que hacer especial mención a la atención de Adrián, encontrar a personas con su energía y calidad humana es lo que marca la diferencia encontrar estas experiencias, cuídenlo mucho. Ha sido excelente. Lo recomiendo tanto para niños como adultos.

Nos lo hemos pasado de maravilla. El chocolate delicioso y el personal súper atento y agradable. Repetiremos sin dudarlo. Hicimos un taller de chocolate en el que nos enseñaron de todo: Máquinas, técnicas, decoración... Y luego TE LO LLEVAS. Por un pequeño extra te dan una tapita de degustación y te cuentan historia del chocolate (muy recomendable ese extra). Sirve tanto para ir con la familia como para escapadita romántica (este último fue mi caso XDDD)

Un lugar excelente, 100% recomendable. Elaboración artesanal, ecológica y responsable. Tienen una gran variedad de chocolates y helados de elaboración propia con un sabor muy bueno. Compran los granos en lugares donde saben que no hay explotación infantil ni abusos laborales y utilizan productos ecológicos. También puedes preparar tus propios chocolates en la fabrica!!! Tienen un pequeño museo con la explicación de como preparan el chocolate, magnífico lugar!

Fui con mi pareja de escapada a Mijas (Mijas pueblo). Dándo vueltas por el pueblo, llegamos a la plaza central, y ahí, en uno de sus lados encontramos un cartel que ponía "fábrica de chocolate" y claro, nos llamó la atención y fuimos a ver. Encontramos este local, llamado Mayan Monkey Mijas y al entrar enseguida nos encontramos con Jason, un señor muy amable y servicial, que parecía ser el propietario aunque nunca le preguntamos. Después de intercambiar saludos y algunas conversaciones sobre de dónde veníamos etc, nos guío totalmente gratis a ver su pequeño museo y a enseñarnos cómo trabajan el chocolate y como hacen todo casero y artesanal en el mismo local. Nos enseñó su maquinaria y nos explicó todo el proceso y los tipos de chocolate y café que preparan. Su energía y su pasión por lo que hace nos transmitió mucho. Tienen una amplia variedad de tipos de chocolate en barra, en granos, y frutas bañadas, que es difícil decidirse a qué llevar. Recomiendo 100% si pasáis por Mijas, dedicar al menos unos 20 minutos a hacerle una visita y disfrutar de Mayan Monkey. Nosotros lo pasamos genial ese ratito.

¡Una chocolatería absolutamente increíble! Desde el momento en que entras, te transportas a un universo que maravilla tanto a grandes como a pequeños. El lugar es precioso, cuidado hasta el más mínimo detalle, y transmite una energía cálida y acogedora. El personal es simplemente encantador, siempre con una sonrisa y una energía contagiosa. Se nota la pasión y el amor por el oficio en cada una de sus creaciones. Mención especial para su taller: saber que elaboran sus chocolates allí mismo con tanto mimo hace que cada bocado sea aún más especial. El empaque personalizado es un detalle único que marca la diferencia. Ya sea para regalar o para darte un capricho, esta es la dirección perfecta. ¡Una experiencia única que no te puedes perder!

Nice place to visit in Mijas with children, especially when it's raining. Nearby the public parking, in the city center. Chocolate workshop for (almost) all ages.

The tour was fun. Everyone who works there is helpful and kind. The chocolates and wine served after were the best! Be ready to stock up on your favorites.

Neele Knuth

Have been going there, since they opened their shop and they are one of my favorite childhood memories here. I keep coming back every time I'm around and never get disappointed. No matter if I make chocolate or just buy chocolate or ice cream, it always tastes amazing. Everyone is super friendly and their recommendations are always really good! Would (and do) recommend it to anyone who likes good ice cream, chocolate and conversations with kind people.

Lisa Wriedt

Super friendly staff. The food is simply incredibly delicious. I had Banoffee and Forest Fruits with milk chocolate.

Lainey Robinson

Had a great morning doing the chocolate making experience. A great talk and information on the history , and production of chocolate. Well worth visiting if in Mijas and the chocolate is amazing

Winston Smith

An absolutely fantastic place! Making your own piece of chocolate was such a fun and unique experience. Adrian was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the workshop, and his way of working with children is truly amazing. He managed to connect with my daughter despite the language barrier. Truly a magical experience – probably a magician himself!

Colin Critchley

We had an amazing time with the staff creating various treats, also came away with, what feels like, a ton of chocolate. Super recommend, thank you to Carolina with the kids, and Adrian with the adults.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Unforgettable experience – fun, delicious, and full of heart!” Visiting Mayan Monkey Mijas was an absolute highlight of our trip to Andalusia! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and friendliness. The atmosphere is both cozy and vibrant, and you can feel the passion the team has for chocolate and creating memorable experiences. We took part in one of the chocolate-making workshops, and it was fantastic from start to finish. Everything was clearly explained, super fun, and hands-on – perfect for both kids and adults. You get to choose your own ingredients, pour the chocolate yourself, and take home your custom-made creations (which, by the way, taste amazing 🍫!). The staff were not only professional but also incredibly engaging and kind. They made everyone feel included and excited. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and – of course – ate a lot of chocolate! If you’re anywhere near Mijas, do not miss this. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, this is a unique experience that combines fun, creativity, and sweet indulgence. Highly recommended – we’d come back in a heartbeat!

We had a fantastic experience at Mayan Monkeys Mijas. My wife and I were served by a friendly and generous young man who really made the visit memorable. He filled our ice cream cup with a generous helping of pistachio and salted caramel flavours — both were absolutely divine. To top it off, he kindly added extra chocolate as a treat, which was a lovely surprise. The service was warm and welcoming, and the quality of the ice cream was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend Mayan Monkeys Mijas to anyone visiting the area.

This place is an absolute must visit. We did the 15 min chocolate experience with our 4 year old and 1 year old daughters. We all had a ball and all of the staff were so friendly. Afterwards we got a coffee which is roasted in house and some ice cream which is absolute incredible - also made in house. If you're in Mijas or even surrounding areas, this is well worth a trip! Thank you Mayan Monkey team! ❤️

Exceptionally friendly and welcoming place. All the staff are amazing. Great place for ice cream and coffee. We were invited to look at the chocolate making process after my partner mentioned he was a pâtissier chef which made his day and hugely appreciated. We got to sample some of the homemade chocolates and afterwards bought some to take home to friends.

Mayan Monkey Chocolate Factory, Mijas If you're looking for an unforgettable experience that combines fun, learning, and pure indulgence, the Mayan Monkey Chocolate Factory in Mijas is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're a chocolate enthusiast or simply looking for a unique activity, this place promises an engaging and delicious adventure for all ages. I wholeheartedly recommend it for families, couples, or even solo chocolate lovers. Our Experience: We chose the Mayan Monkey Chocolate Factory to celebrate my son's 11th birthday, and it turned out to be one of his best birthdays ever. His dream was to make "Dubai Chocolate," and thanks to the factory's innovative workshops, he got to bring that dream to life. We were honored to be the first participants in the "Date with Dubai" workshop, a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Led by Sara, whose warmth, humor, and attentiveness made the session extra special, the workshop was informative, hands-on, and engaging for both kids and adults. It wasn't just an activity—it was an adventure that allowed us to dive into the world of chocolate making while having tons of fun. The Chocolate & Ingredients: The chocolate itself is phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and made with all-natural ingredients. One standout feature is their pistachio paste, made entirely from pistachios roasted and ground on-site. The use of high-quality, wholesome ingredients truly sets their creations apart. Highlight Moments: Walking through the small but enchanting factory, we felt like real-life Oompa-Loompas stepping through a magical doorway into the chocolate workshop. My son and I each crafted our own Dubai Chocolate, selecting from an array of chocolate bases and decorating our creations however we liked. While waiting for our chocolates to set, we got to make additional treats: dates stuffed with peanut butter and dipped in luscious chocolate, plus another personalized chocolate bar each. We were amazed by the variety—over 50 ingredients to choose from—which allowed us to customize our chocolates in ways that felt both creative and personal. A Lasting Impact: The workshop was so inspiring that my son declared he wants to become a chocolatier when he grows up—a testament to how engaging and memorable the experience was. He also can't wait to return and explore making different types of chocolates in the future. Mayan Monkey Chocolate Factory made our day truly magical and turned my son's dream into a reality. The combination of a fun, educational, and interactive workshop with the joy of creating and tasting your own delicious chocolates makes this a perfect outing. It's a sweet day to remember, and I can't recommend it enough! Don't miss the chance to make your own Dubai chocolate dream come true.

I had a wonderful experience visiting the chocolate factory with my family! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm. My family, especially the kids, had a fantastic time creating their own chocolate treats. It was a delightful and memorable outing, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet family adventure. Thank you Adrian !

Wojciech Walewski

We had an amazing chocolate making experience here. You get to keep everything you make, which for two adults ends up being a huge amount of superb chocolate. Highly recommend. The ice cream is phenomenal (even though it's pricey). We super recommend the sorbets and the vanilla flavour.

Aimèe

We had such a wonderful experience here, the chocolate factory is perfect for both adults and children. There is a massive selection of toppings suited to all tastes, the experience is great too - you get to dispense your selected chocolate choice into a mould and decorate as you please, Adrián in the workshop is so friendly and funny and made our experience really awesome. It only took around 15 minutes for our chocolate to set and get packaged, so we enjoyed probably the nicest ice cream I’ve ever tasted downstairs while we waited, which not only has amazing flavour but also great value. We will definitely make Mayan Monkeys a regular choice when we come back to Spain!

Nice place to visit surrounded by beautiful scenery. MAYAN Monkey Mijas has friendly staff and the activity is great for a family outing. You can make your own chocolate (with a fee) and see the small choalate museum!

Excellent insightful and a lovely friendly team. Yummy too and great coffee. Thank you. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Mijas

A wonderful and fun family experience in Mijas! We enjoyed the chocolate making experience and also learning interesting info! Recommend!

Great icecream and very pleasant service from Jane. As someone from Ireland, even had Barry’s Tea. ❤️Plenty of choice of flavours

Chocolateria artesana en una esquina de la plaza de mijas, puesta con mucho gusto. Teniendo chocolates negros,blancos,y con leche; con una infinidad de combinaciones: naranja, gindilla, jengibre, canela.... Muy original la oferta y el trato magnífico; dándote a degustar de las distintas variedades. Nosotros optamos por negro con guindilla, con leche, naranja y guindilla y con leche y canela. Buenísimos.

Estere Lasmane

The service was great, and the ice cream was delicious. However, since the cafe advertises and sells organic chocolate products made with plant milk, I expected to be able to order coffee with plant milk as well. Unfortunately, only lactose-free and regular milk were available. I would recommend offering at least one type of plant-based milk.

Eddie Rogers

Always love coming to Mijas Pueblo and visiting Mayan monkey. Had a slice of vegan carrot cake which I did not enjoy as much as the regular version. Had a 15 minute tour and explanation of the chocolate factory at the back of the store. All products in the shop are made on site. Lots of different flavoured chocolate bars to choose from. Very friendly staff.

Eduardo Massoud Hervas

Nice experience, dedicated and attentive staff although we had to rush through all the processes and then had to wait for a very long time (an hour!!) to get our packaged products. We couldn’t try and taste any of the goodies until we were out the door. So a bit watered down experience. Final price was also way too much higher than initially publicized.
