Chokola

Chokola Bean to Bar is a carousel of temptations, from the enticingly displayed mousse bar and cloudlike confections shown off in mixing bowls behind glass to the glistening handmade Florentines made with local honey. The man behind the bar apologized that there were only three mousse flavors available and then served me a scoop of their award-winning chocolate mousse, made from beans sourced from Guatemala and Belize, in an espresso cup. The silky confection was fully worthy of a stroll in the Tuileries.

Located near the historic Taos Plaza in downtown, Chokola Bean to Bar is Taos’ best award-winning, small-batch, and organically crafted bean-to-bar chocolate maker. Aside from their gluten-free chocolate bar, including single origin chocolate bars, their menu has pour-over coffees, various gluten-free pastries, and hot or cold sipping chocolate. Aside from their various mousses, ice creams, bonbons, and milkshakes, they also have vegan-friendly options.

For dessert (or anytime, really), a visit to Chokola is a must. This isn't just the best chocolate we've had in New Mexico, but probably the best we've had anywhere. It's a "bean to bar" chocolate maker, which means that they produce chocolate from whole cocoa beans in-house (most chocolate makers buy pre-made chocolate from other manufacturers, and then melt it down and add flavoring).
