    The food is excellent here. But some of the waiters are terrible. Especially the one working upstairs. They clearly lie to your face and don't accept the fact that they can make mistakes. Otherwise, the chocolate class is also excellent. The teacher is really good.

    This is my favorite hangout in Arequipa. They stay open late, have reliable wifi, delicious beer, solid tea options, and yummy desserts. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Staff is super friendly. I come at least twice per week.

    Cannot recommend the chocolate class more! I saw it on a whim and tried to sign up for the 2:45pm class but it was booked, then they offered us a 5:30pm class that was not advertised. We said yes! It was so incredibly fun. There was us, another couple, and our teacher Adrian. Adrian just makes this class so fun and amazing. He was hilarious, informative, kind, etc. It really made our first day in Arequipa amazing. The chocolates are delicious and you learn a ton about the history of chocolate as well as the industry. Do yourself a favor and go here!

    We really enjoyed the chocolate class! This was one of our highlights in Arequipa. It was super fun, and Josué was a great, fun guide! We learned a lot about chocolate and now feel we have graduated to be chocolate snobs! Haha. I especially liked pouring out all the Peruvian flavours for our take home chocolate~

    We did the chocolate workshop and are very happy with our experience! The workshop was given by Andrès with great enthousiasm, it was informative and fun! There was also plenty of opportunity to taste chocolate and afterwards you could take a bag of self-made chocolates with you.

    Sour coffee .. they need to get better coffee beans. Service was quite slow as well, considering the number of staff in the place.

    This place has great food and is always busy. Their pizza is excellent as is the coffee and hot chocolate. Take a chocolate class and discover how to make real chocolate from a cocoa bean . The class is$20us It's a very nice place to meet friends. There is seating on the balcony in the front and back as well as indoors.

    I had a coffee here in the evening, the place had a really nice vibe. And the vanilla latte was delicious, organic and seems to be prepared with care :)

    Cute little cafe that specialises in chocolate. We had a chocolate cake with homemade dolce de leche and a hot chocolate. Both were really good and you could feel the quality of the chocolate. They have a nice balcony to sit in.

    Andreas was absolutely amazing!! Had sooo much fun on this 3 hour class and learned a ton!! Got to use my fav.. white chocolate which was a nice surprise. Highly recommend this class and try to get Andres if you can, he surpassed our expectations

  • 5/5 Natalie H. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a workshop today with Andres, and it was AMAZING. We learned a lot, the amount of things you do in the time you have is such good value for money, plus you get a little bag of chocolates to take away. I absolutely loved the workshop. Andres was funny, engaging and an excellent teacher. This is a must for a visit to Arequipa!

    Amazing chocolate workshop, highly recommended! Andreas was very knowledgeable, interactive and full of energy and interest to the topic. We’ve learned a lot has made our own chocolate. Must do in Arequipa!

    I had a course about chocolate at this place. Learned history and how to distinguish real from fake chocolate. I definitely recommend if you have time to attend a course. It is fun

  • 5/5 David R. 1 year ago on Google
    We did the chocolate workshop and it was one of the best experiences we had. Learning the history of chocolate and cocoa, have the tastings and also produce or own chocolate pieces made it a fulfilling experience. We only can recommend it to everyone.

    The chocolate workshop was awesome, Andrès was fantastic! A recommendation from others, now I'm passing on my highest recommendation. A must whilst in Arequipa - it's changed my life in terms of chocolate!

  • 5/5 Rémi 1 year ago on Google
    We did the chocolate workshop and it was way beyond our expectation. We loved it, very interesting and very fun! I think it’s a very underrated activity in Arequipa. Josue was very good and funny. Strong recommend.

    The chocolate cake I had did not have any chocolate taste to it even though it looks sumptuous. We also had a latte and a hot chocolate but they both tasted very bland/weird. The total costed S/ 42 and it is not worth it at all. Would not recommend this place to anyone or better - try it at your own risk :)

  • 5/5 Eugenia T. 4 years ago on Google
    We joined the workshop and it was great! Very informative, interactive, enjoyable, and best of all, delicious quality chocolate! :) Adrian, the only instructor there, is knowledgeable, passionate, and his presence was well appreciated.

    This chocolate is amazing! The best chocolate class ever! We learned a ton from Adrian and would love to come back for another lesson. Seriously one of our most memorable experiences in Peru. I'd recommend to anyone!

    Good pizza, yummy salads and nice staff. The chocolate workshop is a lot of fun and very interesting.

  • 5/5 Tiarne G. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I decided to do the chocolate making class as a way to pass our last day in Arequipa. The value for money is fantastic and Joshua was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the history of chocolate and making our own treats to take home. If you have time I would definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Shawn C. 1 year ago on Google
    The chocolate workshop here is such a fun, interesting, and well-structured experience! I somehow lucked into a private class thanks to some no-shows, and my instructor Andres was engaging, professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The class is super interactive, seamlessly incorporating educational info with hands-on experience (and lots of varied tastings). Really a stellar value, I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Arequipa!
