Found this while looking up "Chocolate" on yelp, I got too tired drinking coffee and my wife was 2 week postpartum. She got the vegan Mexican hot chocolate - let's just say, we came back 3 times in one month. As for me, regular Chocolate drink..... damn damn damn damn, I felt like a kid............ I want MORE MORE MORE MORE... And I house whipped cream???? Say less... On top of that, those mini chocolate selections We've had them all except those that came with alcohol. They were delicious and worth every penny... Lastly; the damn tres leches... 20/10 that was so perfect and well balanced....... They are dangerously delicious read more

I was walking along Elmwood and I stumbled upon this place. The service and quick and friendly. When you walk in, you can see people making the chocolate behind the counter. The inside has a variety of chocolate bars and other goods to buy. The chocolate here tastes amazing and if I could, I would've ordered one of each flavor! The highlight was the frozen Mexican hot chocolate. You can choose to have a little spice via the chili flakes in the drink but I decided to have it plain. The whipped cream on top was super rich, and I loved the taste of my drink! I would definitely come back here to try some of the other desserts! read more

My wife has mentioned this place multiple times to the point that she insisted on us going to Berkeley and getting chocolate drinks from here. I love chocolate, but I always found chocolate drinks to be too sweet for me, until this place. From the flavor of the chocolate drink alone, they're chocolate-centric to the point you can taste the coating of it still on your tongue. My wife got the hot drink while I got the cold one, and either way you take it, you won't regret your decision! Unfortunately we didn't give any to our dog for obvious reasons, but they were kind enough to provide water to our girl when they found out we were seated outside with her. Thank you very much! read more

At Elmwood just waking off our dinner and we walked past Case De Chocolates, a nice lady waked out swearing by these chocolates and we had to try. Jesus one of the owner was super nice and stayed open a little longer just for us. Not gonna lie, opened up one of the bars walking to the car. Very unique flavors like Mole, Jamaica, so super Mexican flavors. Must try is your visiting up here in the Bay! read more

Great Latino owned business to support in Berkeley! I'm so glad I'm walking distance from it so when I need my mid day chocolate kick I can just walk over to get a bar or two. They have hot chocolate and frozen hot chocolate as well. The hot chocolate is vegan but the frozen one isn't. They have some gluten free and dairy free chocolate bars which is cool. They have a small variety of some pastries there too. The service is always fast so if you're in a rush they got you. The store is small and on the corner so it can be hard to see but just know it's the store at the very corner. Give their coffee chocolate bars a try, it really tastes like coffee! My family really likes their frozen hot chocolate and I really like their hot chocolate so you can't go wrong with them. My family and I will just travel to Berkeley for their hot chocolates alone. read more

I can't say much about the shop's ambiance or service, but I can say plenty about the chocolates! I was gifted a box from one of my friends as a belated birthday gift and found myself in love with the quality and rich flavors. In the box, I had the following: - Brazilian Sea Salt 5/5 (DELICIOUS! Satisfied my sweet tooth but also balanced it out.) - Mexican Vanilla 5/5 (This was on par with the sea salt one but surprisingly subtle in taste. It felt like a more *demure* snack.) - Tequila 3/5 (I'm not too big of an alcohol in chocolate fan but this was decent!) - Guayaba 5/5 (Smooth inside and definitely more fruity and sweet than the others) - Mole 3/5 (Decent; a lil thick, but the dark chocolate balanced it out) - Mayan Espresso 5/5 (Strong, rich flavor that I deeply appreciated) The quality and variety of chocolates here are definitely heavy hitters and you can tell by the presentation and the little glimpses of culture in each piece. Definitely would come here myself just to experience other items offered as well as the shop's vibes! read more

Casa de chocolates has been a staple in my household for all major events since college. They have the cutest valentines boxes and assortments along with very seasonal fall designs on their bonbons. Nestled off to the side from the quiet and romantic college ave is this authentic Latinx chocolate shop! They have an amazing story rooted in community investment that I read on linkedin! They also have it under their about section online. I come here every chance I can, and try to bring new faces whenever possible, because the magic of this shop cannot be found ANYWHERE else in California. The chocolate and sweets are all rooted so deeply in mesoamerican culture, I love bringing my older family members here to give them a taste of home away from home. From the designs to the flavors, Casa de Chocolates embodies a sense of belonging for me that I can only find when I go back home to Mexico -- so I guess this is my comfort place to a certain extent haha! This is a small but very popular shop that makes everything in house so please be patient with the staff! I promise it's worth the wait. My personal favorites are the 24-pack of chocolate. bonbons and the Frozen Hot Chocolate! The Frozen Hot Chocolate tastes just like abuelita but in the form of a slushee! It is very chocolate-y, not too sweet, and super slushee. They have a massive variety of bonbons to choose from, I like getting the 24-pack to try as many of them as I can but some of my favorites include: Mexican vanilla, chipotle, mole, Tapatio, cajeta, guayana, and Chile naranja. read more

This is our family go-to place for special birthday gifts for our friends no matter their age. Their bon-bons are delicious and display beautiful artistry. But hands down, we fully recommend their chocolates cake, El Rey. It is the BEST chocolate cake on earth, to die for, and also my husband's birthday cake year after year. Children and adults both gobble it up completely. The folks that work there are also very kind and always enticing me with samples of their bars. read more

Great place! I've been wanting to stop by here for awhile and today we went after we got our pedicures down the street. The young woman at the counter was so helpful and knowledgeable about the different variations. We taste tested a few and thought a few chocolate bars, and some truffles for our stash at home. Then my husband and I shared a frozen hot chocolate- we were fighting over the last few sips and had major regrets that we chose to share one. This spot is our new go- to for chocolate, and their cute chocolate boxes would make a wonderful gift for someone as well! read more

Amazingly good chocolates! Had the bon bon set.. I think 24 pack. Outstanding! The beauty of the chocolates are only rivaled by the taste. If you're looking for mass produced chocolates, go elsewhere, as this is not that kind of operation. These are unique complex flavor profiles such as tequila, lavender, cajete, chipotle and many others. I can't speak to the ambiance as I received these via mail. What I can say is do yourself a favor and visit the store or have some mailed to you. They are fantastic! read more

It was my husband's birthday and he was craving a really good tres leches. I work in the East Bay now so did a yelp search to find a good place. I don't know where to start with the store: from the decorating to the customer service to the music playing. It was just a lot of fun as soon as we stepped through the door. Their chocolates are amazing, but their trace matches cake was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come here again. Sign now don't park across the street after 4 PM. I almost got my car towed. read more

While exploring the neighborhood during a recent visit to the Bay, I discovered this wonderful chocolate shop! They have so many different chocolates to choose from! And amazing coffee as well. I picked up macaroons and a huge cupcake for future treats. The staff were friendly and helpful while I was taking my time looking at everything trying to decide which chocolate to enjoy. Although a small space, the layout of Casa De Chocolates is inviting with the main display of chocolates facing the front door and various chocolate products on each side. Def a reasonably priced treat place! read more

I always go to the one star reviews, and since I've been coming here for awhile, I thought I'd give a little feedback about those reviews, and share my experience with this place: 1 Star reviews: Really, don't even bother reading. The old guard is out, in with the new and improved. Shop: Small, clean, artistic. Staff: Very welcoming, will offer samples, focused on making amazing chocolates. Price: A tad bit spendy, but if people are willing to pay these kinds of prices in this economy, take advantage. Flavorful chocolates, spicy hot chocolate that, at times, I prefer over coffee, and chocolate cake that was made in heaven. I do enjoy an occasional tres leches, and I'm sure it's the bomb (apparently not getting this cake utterly DESTROYED someone's day/week/life) so I'll have to get a slice next go around. Enjoy. read more

I come here once a week for their frozen hot chocolate & its the best frozen hot chocolate ive ever had. It doesn't taste overly sweet its a perfect balance. Ive also had their tres leches cake & OMG its amazing as well waaaaaay better than your local grocery store tres leches! Go give it a try (: read more

I was given a small box of chocolates from one of my clients (Habitat Horticulture, who is also on Ashby Avenue). The flavors were rich while not being too sweet, and the types of chocolates were unique (Mango, Chile Maranja, Canela). I will definitely have to make a special trip there very soon~ Bob F read more

The chocolate is beyond wonderful. However, for the third year in a row, the in-shop experience was off-putting. I ordered almost $300 of chocolate online about a month ago. I arrived at the designated time and had to wait for about 15 min in line - okay - understandable and great to see a shop with so much activity. I get to the register and the guy asks me for my order number. I said I had no idea and gave him my name. He did not exactly roll his eyes, but he looked at me like I had just committed the most unimaginable rudeness. "Oh, now we will have to look it up in the system - huff. " It took his co-worker about 20 seconds to find my order by my name. I spent a lot of money there to have to deal with a snippy employee. Strike 3. not going back. read more

I came here to pick up a few boxes of chocolate for myself and Christmas gifts. To my surprise, the recipes have changed. The shells of the chocolates are now thinner and don't have the "crunchy" when you bite into them. The filling is runny, not like it use to be. I am so disappointed. The chocolates are still pretty good, but i don't find the prices justify the quality. I have been coming here for years. I love treating myself and giving these as gifts. I'm not sure i'll be coming back. read more

Casa de chocolates is one of the best places I've ever had the chance to visit. It's changed my life. I go every once in a while and each time I am given more reasons to love this business. The food is amazing and let's just say the frozen hot chocolate is addictive. The shop is small but filled with love and amazing vibes! Definitely worth the visit if you are in the area! read more

A great experience - they are generous and customer centric and let us try out some of their bonbons . All very yummy and rich We needed up ordering the frozen hot chocolate and the hot chocolate - both very good . We didn't see any menu, so you might need to just ask them at the counter . Their cakes also looked yummy (especially that tres leches one...) but we didn't had any capacity to try them out ....have to leave something for next time ! read more

SIMPLY THE BEST CHOCOLATES AROUND!! The most unique flavors and designs. Like a piece of art. Yes, a little pricey, but so worth the splurge! We live in the S Bay, so mostly order online. Every time we need to call for questions or get extra help, the staff are super friendly and helpful. Knowing now that the original owners have passed the torch to their 1st two (UC Berkeley student) employees Linda Sanchez and Jesus Chavez makes us champion Casa de Chocolates even harder!! (Story link below) Tapatío, Mole and Tequila bon bons are favorites, but honestly can't go wrong with any of the others. Below are pix of the last two orders we sent to family for Love day (2/14/23). The large heart (33 pieces) was sent to our daughter away at college in LA. We ordered the largest box so she could share with roommates and friends on campus. When we told her this, she said, "Oh! I'm not sharing THESE!!" Lol!! Just asked her, almost 3 weeks later, if she has any left and she said, "yup!" Such restraint!! Had a box sent to my parents as well and they REFUSED to share with others. I mean your chocolates are awesome, but they are turning family members into evil selfish brats!! LOL!! Thank you, Casa de Chocolates for making so many of our family members, friends and us happy!! https://edibleeastbay.com/2022/12/30/a-chocolate-legacy-continues-at-casa-de-chocolates-in-berkeley/ read more

Artisanal small batch, hecho a mano bon-bons inspired by sabores Mexicanos? Yes, please! I've tried the Mexican Assortment, the Chile Assortment that's spicy, and the Fruity Assortmentand love all three box selections. There are exquisite flavors, like tequila, chipotle, mole, tamarindo, chipotle caramel, naranja, tapatio, guayaba, maracuya caramel, and Mexican vanilla. Impressive artistry, which makes these perfect for gift-giving. The people here are friendly, knowledgeable, and you always get great service. Highly recommend trying a box of their chocolates. read more

Casa de Chocolates is a chocolate shop that I've been to a couple times in Berkeley, and I have to say I really enjoy what they have here! Although the shop is on the smaller side, they do have quite a wide variety of chocolates with many different interesting flavors. The people working here are nice, and usually are fine with giving out free samples. The chocolate here is also high-quality, as they are very rich and have some pretty unique flavor blends. Some of the items I've gotten from here include the Chile Mango chocolate bar, the Tres Leches cake, and the Frozen hot chocolate. The mango chocolate bar is made of dark chocolate combined with fresh mango and chili flakes, which is a fantastic combo. The Tres Leches cake is quite spongy, if you like very sweet desserts then you'll definitely enjoy this one. The frozen hot chocolate is a drink that I haven't seen in many other places, and it has a creamy consistency and a great chocolate flavor. Highly recommend visiting this place if you're ever around the area! read more

Cute shop selling south american chocolate treats, delicious but pricey chocolate confections with fancy presentation ideal for gift-giving.

The plus about this place is a free chocolate with check in. Here's the thing the chocolate is okay...not outstanding just okay. The kahlua didn't have that coffee flavor to it and just tasted more like a chocolate ganache. My friend's chocolate also lacked the flavor. The mexican hot chocolate was watered down and honestly didn't have a kick or bite to it. The tres leches cake was well...super disappointing...we each took a bite and that was that. I can't see myself coming back here again...honestly not even for the chocolates which are like See's candy with a prettier color and different flavors. read more

The best chocolatier in the East Bay. A huge bonus that this spot is run by a Latina with pride in supporting Black and Brown owned businesses as I've seen owner partner up with Kingston 11 on a rum and chocolate tasting event many years ago. They're chocolates are all incredible and they have a huge selection for every taste imaginable. They are my go to gifts that have yet to disappoint anyone I've given them too. I recently made a life changing discovery that they do special cake orders for the holidays and their chocolate cake was divine. It wasn't too decadent and perfectly moist. It was a huge hit with the entire family and I had so much that I froze some leftovers. I cannot wait for the moment it makes a comeback. I'll be ordering again for Christmas and hope to be able to try the flan this time around. My only gripe is that parking in this area is difficult so make some time to drive around unless you get lucky. read more
