Tres Leches much?? Umm yes please!! Best tres leches everrr and it only taste better as it stays in your fridge. I want to try the flan and chocolate cake, but always get pulled back to that tres leches. The individual mini cakes is enough for two, but the can also make whole cakes. Great place to purchase gifts for colleagues. I didn't think I would like all their chocolate creations, bc I'm more of a milk chocolate fan as opposed to dark chocolate. I bought the box of their best sellers, and I sure did eat all 6 pieces in one sitting. The folks that work there are mostly teens or college kids. All super nice and helpful. My sis swears their hot chocolate and frozen hot chocolate is amaze!! I haven't tried it yet. I gave 4 stars only bc the place is quite small and when there's other people, it's hard to peruse, but with today's rental rates; I completely understand read more

This little neighborhood gem off of College Avenue is still going strong! There was a steady flow of customers going in and out of the storefront while I was there! I stopped in today for a Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate -- and the woman right before me ordered the non-frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate -- totally enjoying her drink at one of the two little tables outside the front door. The chocolate is rich and thick and has delicious Mexican spices blended in. You can order the frozen version with whipped cream and the hot version with chili flakes! It takes a few minutes to make, and while I waited, I browsed the shelves and looked at the handmade chocolate selections. About half a dozen employees were hard at work behind the counter, making lots of different chocolate bonbons : ) Their chocolates are so unique that when my aunt was visiting from New York, I brought her here to purchase a box as a gift to take back East. *Note: They have a $5 minimum on their Square register, so bring cash for small purchases. read more

I called to reserve my tres leches cake and when I arrived it was already sold out. I was in line for over 30 minutes expecting my cake since I called ahead to make sure they had it. They ended up selling my cake. I was already a having a bad day but this just put the cherry on top. The customer service was horrible, person comes out the door rudely saying we are closed when I already waited 30 minutes in line then I proceed to tell her that I had a cake reserved for me but then tells me they are all sold out. I drove all the way for from San Jose for this cake, it was for my birthday. I have never felt so devastated in my life that I just started to cry. How they treated me was just so rude from the beginning. Holidays are approaching soon I just recommend training folks to be a little nicer. I love casa so much since I was an undergrad in Berkeley that I come every year to celebrate with a cake. I won't continue this tradition any more. read more

The chocolate box is beautiful as gift. But the ice chocolate is way too sweet and not enough chocolaty. A bit disappointing to the drink.

Very good chocolate and we found the service to be very friendly. They let us sample a couple pieces and we bought a few bars and a piece of the chocolate cake. The cake was so good and moist! Absolutely loved this. We would definitely stop by again if we are in the area. read more

FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE IS THE BEST! it's creamy and delicious, great on a hot day, cold day, any day really! If you order anything from here let it be the frozen hot chocolate! read more

Fuego!!! Okay so I love me some chocolate, This place is a tiny exspensive hole in the wall for sure, parking is hectic!

I love supporting local family businesses. And the prices are worth since everything is made by hand, So give them a try, you will not be disappointed. Pay $3 and get a beautiful box to gift someone these classy looking chocolates. read more

So glad I finally got to try this place! I pass by this street multiple times and never knew it existed until a co-passenger in one of my Uber rides raved about how great the Tres Leches Cake and Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate was; of course, I had to come and see for myself. Came in on a sunny and warm afternoon and immediately noticed the wide variety of different chocolates. I ended up getting what I came for (a "mini"-sized Tres Leches Cake and a Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream), and saw some Mexican Wedding Cookies/Polvoron in the display case - ended up grabbing one of those, too. There's luckily seating outside, where you can enjoy your items. The Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate was SO satisfying for a warm day, and was not too thick and just the right amount of sweet. They don't use generic canned whipped cream, and put homemade whipped cream on top (which was delicious). The Tres Leches Cake was amazing; perfectly moist, and a huge portion. Even the polvoron was very good and fresh. We even sampled some of their dark chocolate at the counter, and that was great, too. No doubt all the items here are just as good! Excited to come back and try more items (and definitely more of that Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate). read more

If you're looking for the perfect gift for a foodie, check out this spot! I ordered their handcrafted bon bons as a gift. The bon bons were carefully packaged along with an ice pack. It arrived with no issues. The gift recipients were blown away at how exquisite, delicious, and flavorful the chocolates were. I'll definitely buy from them again! (I actually ordered myself a small box. I don't have a sweet tooth but I'm hooked.) Lastly, the customer service was excellent, too. read more

My favorite. Hi plate shop. Quality and unusual flavored chocolate. Everything I tried was delicious

This afternoon I was in search of an afternoon snack when I stumbled upon Casa de Chocolates. I decided to try the (Mexican) frozen hot chocolate and it was absolutely to die for!!! I can't wait to go back to Casa de Chocolates to try more of their sweet treats; besides the frozen hot chocolate there were so many other yummy chocolate treats and pastries, and the shop itself was so cute! read more

Hand crafted chocolates are totally worth the hype. It's a very small place but when you enter you will be transported into a magical place. You're greeted with a warm welcome and bright smiles. I selected the best seller box but I was able to customize it by swapping some of the flavors. All of the chocolates here are beautiful and they taste amazing. To me they look like jewelry! Almost too pretty too eat. When you do a yelp check in, you get one free chocolate. I decided to go for the tequila flavor. Which is the butterfly design. My boyfriend purchased a Mango flavor for us to try too. Both were delicious in their own way. I really love that you could taste the tequila in the chocolate and the mango was pure heaven. When we gifted the best seller box to out friends they were very happy and in awe of the chocolates designs. These make the perfect gift. You can pick your own ribbon color and select between 6,12, or 24 pieces as well. They also have special collections depending on the month. So make sure to check the out too. I think this place is such a gem I hope it never runs out of business. read more

We stop here every time we are on our way to the city from the east bay. Every time! The chocolate is amazing! I love all the different flavors and the decorations are so cute and make you feel like your in another country. I always get the chocolate here for myself and for others on special occasions (Mother's Day, Christmas, Halloween... etc.). My pantry at home is always stocked with Casa de Chocolate goodies. But for me the icing on the cake is the frozen Mexican hot chocolate. Holy wow! It is soooo good! Stop by when your in the neighborhood. Definitely worth it!

What an amazing chocolate shop. From cupcakes to tres leche cake, bon bons and frozen hot chocolate... What's not to love? The bon bons are delicious with innovative Spanish flavors. My favorites are the caramel bon bons with maracuya being the best! read more

Whoa, their chocolates and sweets are so delicate and intricate! I was loving the option of tres leches, but the batter was too thick and not wet with moistness enough. They have truffles and a varietal of delights! When looking at the grand selections, don't you wish you can simply taste it all! read more

Delicious chocolates and each one is art! Highly recommend getting anything these folks make.

This place is one of my favorite places to visit in Berkeley. The frozen hot chocolate is amazing! I love how authentic they are in conserving the Mexican traditional flavors in their menu. The chocolates are all delicious and unique. I'm not the biggest fan of tres leches cake but the one they make is to die for. Service is always great they are very nice and helpful. And the feeling I get when I walk in , is a feeling of home everything is very neat and beautifully decorated and displayed. read more

Went here today because I'm on a business trip and I went for a stroll after work. The truffles look gorgeous, but a thumbprint-sized chocolate was way too overpriced, even with my company card, to take the plunge to try one. Everything is much too expensive so I settled for 3 1oz chocolate bars for $8. Peruvian Espresso - meh. Just tastes like coffee grounds on a semi sweet chocolate bar. Chile-Mango: no discernible mango or chili flavor. Brazilian Sea Salt: very tasty. I also like salty foods so maybe I'm just biased. The shop is nice and I love that they have e-mail receipts rather than paper ones, but unfortunately, I can't justify the price for another visit. P.S. these chocolates contain soy :'( read more

Casa De Chocolates - 3 1oz. Chocolate bars for $8. 09/17/13. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Berkeley, California

Came here for a special churro night. It was soooo good. I love how they specialize their chocolate. They are delicious and friendly. And if you bring back your box they give you a chocolate or reaccredit it for a certain amount of money. I love that idea! They have other little desserts and sweet things to try too like their flan and frozen hot chocolate. Very delicious. Deep rich chocolate that melts in your mouth with that rich bitter sweet roasted aroma. Absolutely delicious and one of the best chocolate you can buy. read more

Casa De Chocolates - Special promo of churros and chocolate sauce. Delicious! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Berkeley, California

I saw the Casa De Chocolates sign advertising that they were listed in Travel + Leisure as one of the best chocolate places, and figured I might as well make a quick stop to check them out. The shop is really dimly lit inside, which I guess helps to keep the chocolates cooler? However, it was a bit hard to read the names of some of the items. I liked that they had samples of some of their chocolate bars, and I got to try a couple: -Pepitas Bar (61% Cacao Topped w/Agave Caramelized Pumpkin Seeds w/a Dash of Salt and Chile Flakes, $7 for 3oz): I think pepitas are just ok, so this chocolate bar didn't do much for me. I thought it was ok, but wouldn't spend $7 on it. -Chile Mango Bar (61% Cacao w/Dried Spicy Mango, $7 for 3oz): I actually enjoyed this chocolate bar a lot more than the pepitas, but couldn't see myself enjoying the spicy mango chocolate taste day after day. I still feel $7 is pricey for only 3 oz of chocolate. I also purchased: -Flan ($5, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/casa-de-chocolates-berkeley?select=xfDb-S8x8e6j_kYANhzANg#xfDb-S8x8e6j_kYANhzANg): Pretty good, but not amazing. The flan was creamy and smooth, and I liked that the caramel sauce wasn't too sweet. Chocolates: -Maracuya (Passion Fruit), Guayaba, Brazilian Sea Salt Caramel, Mexican Vanilla Caramel (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/casa-de-chocolates-berkeley?select=xfDb-S8x8e6j_kYANhzANg#RTDnyHSvmVfVk2mYDvbaUw): I didn't like the maracuya or guayaba at all. One of the caramels was just ok, and one was a lot better tasting. I think I enjoyed the Brazilian Sea Salt the most, but I'm not positive. However, these chocolates were very expensive and I wouldn't purchase them again. I enjoyed a couple of the items I tried here, but also really didn't like some other items. I also think that their prices are on the high side, and don't think I would be back based on the chocolates that I had. The staff working here also wasn't very friendly or helpful, and the lady who took my order didn't seem like she wanted to be there or answer the questions that I had. Parking in this area can also be tough, and all the spots are metered. I don't know what items they had at Travel + Leisure, but I feel duped! read more

Beautiful, decorative, high-quality chocolates in many flavors. You can make your own box, the box itself is beautiful and comes with a card showing the chocolate flavors.

Erm. Mah. Gawd. They don't call it house of chocolates for nothing! I came here to get their tres leches cake for bae's birthday and also ended up grabbing a slice of the El Rey chocolate cake. I'll tell you right now, I'm a vanilla kind of girl. I generally dislike chocolate-based cakes, but one bite of their chocolate cake and I was HOOKED. It is like the cocoa gods descended onto my tongue and slow danced with each one of my tastebuds. Prom night in chocolate form! The tres leches cake was also yummy, but me and that dark chocolate just had a connection you know? The texture of the tres leches was slightly more gritty, kind of like oatmeal, but the flavors were there. It was sweet, creamy, and moist - worth the $5 and perfectly sized to share with bae. The chocolate cake could also be shared, but now that I know how divine it tastes, I probably won't. The chocolates on display were gorgeous pieces of art that most likely taste as beautiful as they appeared. Typing this right now is making me drool...I'm going to need to reunite with those chocolate gods and end my 2017 with a dance party in my mouth. HOLLA. P.S. No photos of the cakes unfortunately. Why you ask? Oh because I inhaled them both before the camera even had a chance... read more

Truly the best tres leches cake I have ever tried. My husband and I have gone back here again & again. The texture is just right, whenever trying a new place I now hold my tres leches to a high standard because of Casa De chocolates! & I can't say I've ever found a place to beat this one!!! You also have to try the frozen hot chocolate! It has the perfect amount of sweetness. They hand make all the chocolates. Love the truffles/bon bond with so many flavor options!! I hold this place near & dear! Why buy a sheet cake from Safeway or Whole Foods?! I purchased our daughters 1st birthday party cake here because IT IS THAT DELICIOUS! We've introduced this place to friends & family that also have nothing but great things to say about this establishment! read more

Such a cool place in Berkeley/Rockridge area where you can pick up interesting and delicious Mexican style chocolates and desserts. The interior is small, but not overly crowded and the displays are always well kept and super organized. My guilty pleasure is definitely dropping in for their mexican frozen hot chocolate with whipped cream! It's super good without being too sweet or overwhelming and has just the right amount of kick. This place is also super easy to access by BART (aka get off at Rockridge BART and walk down the street) and by the AC transit bus system (51B if you're coming from South Berkeley) which makes it even more enticing. I definitely recommend dropping by and checking out their amazing chocolate goods~ read more

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this chocolate shop. My boyfriend and I were immediately greeted upon walking in by the nicest worker who offered us samples on so many chocolates. The store is very comfy and beautiful, and the chocolates are delicious. We also got the frozen hot chocolate, which I'd definitely recommend for a rich, creamy treat that's not too sweet. If you're anything like me and are not familiar with Mexican hot chocolate, keep in mind that the chocolate will have a distinct cinnamon-y flavor that's different from just plain dark chocolate. Something to keep in mind if you're not a fan of cinnamon! read more
