    Mexican hot chocolate
    Asheritah C.

    What a fun find! We were looking for something sweet that wasn't ice cream, and the Animas Chocolate Company sure did deliver! We walked in and were promptly greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. When I explained that we'd never been in before and asked a question about the menu, the barista (?) kindly explained the listings and then offered samples for our whole family. We ended up ordering the Mexican hot chocolate (which was rich and luscious, with only a hint of spice because I'd asked the bartender to make it kid-friendly) and an olde fashioned (which came with a blood orange truffle and I thought the drink would also be hot chocolate based, but Reader--it was NOT.) There's plenty of seating options (and the swivel chairs are quite fun), plus a glass door in the back to peek into their chocolate production process. My kids and I enjoyed our visit here, and of course the hot chocolate i(made with real chocolate, not cocoa powder) is really delicious. The customer service and welcoming ambiance though is what made this the real winner.

    This place was recommended by a friend. We were greeted with complementary hot chocolate drinks, by the friendly barista. This is not to be mistaken for the European sipping chocolate, which is the drink to order. It comes with a biscotti and free refill. It's the richest, more decadent hot chocolate I've had, made with cream and dark chocolate. I ordered a Mexican Mocha on ice, which was also wonderful. I also ordered some fine chocolates...premium quality. Nice atmosphere as well!

    Amazing Euro style dinking chocolate served with a side of biscotti and marshmallow. Like hot melted ganache, theirs is very good with earthy mocha notes-not too sweet nor too large a serving. Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.

    Great handmade Chocolates and more!!! Aug 2025 We have been warmly greeted every single time we entered here. They offered us a sample taste of cocoa to start our visit. Their handmade chocolates are top notch - and on par with expensive European chocolates! From spicy (yum) to Meyer lemon (yum) every single one is excellent. Then go sit at the bar where barista, Kyle, will pair your wine, cocktail or beer (YES beer) with the perfect chocolate! Great place to relax and enjoy beautiful Main Street, Durango.

    Kind and attentive service. All unprompted: "Would you like to try our tasting chocolate while you decide on your order?"; "I'll get fresh water to your dog outside."; Brought water to me in case I wanted some with my coffee drink. Delicious and good vibe.

    Quick & Dirty

    We discovered Animas Chocolate a few years ago and it has become one of our "must do's" while in Durango. Not only are the chocolates beautiful to behold, but the flavor and quality are exceptional. In addition to delectable chocolates, Animas Chocolate Co also offers a variety of coffees, hot chocolate (you have to try the Quick and Dirty), and an espresso martini.

    Excellent cold brew with spectacular presentation.

    Beautiful spot with incredible truffles and excellent coffee. We had a Manhattan inspired truffle paired with an espresso and a cold brew coffee. Get the tour of all of the custom truffles from the enthusiastic staff. The best $17 you can spend on downtown Durango.

    This might be the nicest and best decorated coffee shop I have ever been too. The only thing that makes it better is the friendly service we received from all of the workers. Everyone was friendly and well informed of the coffee and chocolate they offered. You can even see them make their chocolate delights in the back of the store. Oh and I forgot they serve fresh and delicious coffee! Sadly we found this shop on our last day in town. If not we would have been back everyday we were in town!! This place is a must for coffee or chocolate lovers in Durango!!

    Such a great store. It's a coffee shop coupled with a chocolate company. I do wish they opened earlier. I stopped by in the evening and grabbed a coffee. It was delicious, so I came back the next morning around 8am and they weren't open yet!! Staff was very nice and helpful. Great vibe as soon as you entered.

    As a huge chocolate lover, Animas Chocolate Company was a must when passing through Durango. The workers were so friendly and from the moment we walked in we felt welcome. They took the time to walk us through each truffle in detail and gave us plenty of space to peruse the store looking at all the other goodies. As I decided on what goodies to take home, my boyfriend enjoyed an espresso at the bar. Very eager to try my truffles I did not snap a pic of the beautifully wrapped box, but will say each one tasted just as good as it looked! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a sweet treat.

    The Harlot

    Coffee was delicious and perfect temperature. I had "The Harlot" with Oatmilk. A blend of expression and chocolate. Very good! Service and ambience were great too.

    Truffle assortment- hand selected.

    oompa loopa loompadee do, I have a reco-men-ration for you Doing a bit of Main Street shopping we stumbled into this chocolatier and were invited to sample some hot coco that immediately transported me into a scene from Willy Wonka where I wished everything in view was eatable, I needed MORE! So We bought an assortment of truffles, hot coco and a coffee. Sure it's pricey but you get what you pay for. The assortment you see here was $55 and so far- all amazing. The best part, the staff is helpful and very friendly which isn't something I'd describe for all of Durango so the staff really made a difference and boosted our overall experience. Recommend you stop in for the hot coco- you won't regret it!

    See all
