  So good. Five options for sipping chocolate! You can get truffles or cake or mousse or an affogato or a snowfall which is like an affogato but with sipping chocolate instead of coffee. For those they make the ice cream in house. I personally felt like the snowfall with the salted caramel ice cream didn’t highlight the chocolate enough. The next day we went back and I got the French vanilla iced chocolate which was fantastic.

  Chokola in Taos is hands down one of my absolute favorite spots in the plaza area. It’s not just a chocolate shop, it’s a whole experience. Everything feels intentional, from the quality of the ingredients to the atmosphere inside. You can tell right away this isn’t your average candy place. They make their chocolate from scratch using a true bean to bar process, sourcing high quality cacao and crafting everything in small batches, which really shows in the flavor. � Chokola Bean to Bar +1 The chocolate here is honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. Rich, smooth, and full of depth without tasting overly sweet or artificial. You can taste the difference immediately. They also have amazing sipping chocolates, which are thick, decadent, and feel more like a dessert than a drink. It’s one of those things you try once and then think about randomly for weeks like… yeah, that changed me a little. Their dessert selection is just as good. Cakes, pastries, truffles, mousse, all of it feels elevated but still comforting. It’s basically a dessert restaurant, not just a quick stop, so you can actually sit down and enjoy everything properly. Customer service is always great. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and patient, and you never feel rushed even when they’re busy. It has that warm, local Taos energy where people actually acknowledge you like a human being instead of a transaction. My absolute favorite thing there are the passion fruit bars. I don’t even play around with trying new things half the time because those are that good. The flavor is bright, a little tangy, perfectly balanced with the chocolate… yeah, they did what they needed to do with those. Overall, Chokola is one of those places that actually lives up to the hype. Between the quality, the atmosphere, and the service, it’s easily one of the best dessert spots in Taos. If you’re anywhere near the plaza and even slightly like chocolate, skipping this place would honestly be a bad life decision. 🍫

  Chokola is one of those places that quietly overdelivers. The moment you walk in, it feels intentional. Not overly polished, not trying too hard. Just clean, warm, and focused on what matters. The chocolate. The coffee. The experience. The drinking chocolate is the standout, but the real sleeper hit is the dulce de leche mousse. It’s incredibly smooth and airy, with a deep caramel richness that doesn’t cross into overly sweet. The texture is dialed in. Light enough to feel refined, but still indulgent. It’s the kind of dessert that disappears fast and makes you wish you ordered a second. Their pastries and desserts hold up across the board. Everything tastes like it was made with restraint and balance, not just sugar. Coffee is solid, especially if you’re into well-executed, simple drinks. It complements the chocolate instead of competing with it, which is a detail most places miss. What really works here is restraint. They’re not trying to be everything. No bloated menu, no gimmicks. Just a tight focus on doing a few things very well. If there’s a downside, it’s that this isn’t a “cheap and quick” stop. Prices reflect the quality, and portions are more curated than oversized. Bottom line: go for the chocolate, stay for the dulce de leche mousse. It’s easily one of the best things on the menu.

  We stopped in for ice cream but ended up getting chocolate and raw cacao as well. The shop is quaint and appealing. We got 6 truffles that were all very good. The unique flavor combinations reminded us of a shop we visited in Bruges called The Chocolate Line. The shop host was fun to talk to about chocolate and told us a lot about the owner and her process which made us feel connected and confident supporting this small business. My son wanted to buy the raw cacao beans and she was nice enough to let him try one before he committed to the whole bag (which he did end up buying, after all!). The ice cream was soft almost like gelato and really good!
