I was in search for some amazing local chocolate and found this gem. When we arrived we were sad to see a sign on the door stating they had an emergency and so the shop was closed. However, they had left some packets of chocolates for sale at the small store across the street. We bought one of the variety packs that has a bunch of different flavors. So far our favorites have been caramel and the cashew one. They are SO good. If you enjoy high quality chocolate definitely check them out!! read more

Unique shop making only chocolate products. There are unique flavors and traditional. The shop closes when they run out of product, or times are posted on the door. I sampled the Lime Bar and hot chocolate. Purchased a gift box and a chocolate fish. Mmm... read more

I stumbled upon this gem a few years back. It's off the beaten path but worth the walk. If you love chocolate and you are on the island you must stop by. The shop is clean and smells great. The owners are super friendly and chocolates are made on-site. I apologize for not having a picture. I will try to post one the next time I am on the island. read more

This sweet shop was across the street from my rental so I was in here several times. Wall to wall delicious liquid filled chocolates, cocoa, solid chocolate and if you're really lucky giant fresh baked chocolate cookies. All this hosted by Cecilia, the sweetest item in the shop. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious chocolates!!!! And the service was amazing :) the owners were so sweet to give samples and explain the chocolate making process. So glad we stopped by!! And you should too:) read more

This is the cutest little place! It's a bit off the main downtown area, but worth the walk. The owner let's you sample items before you decide what to get! They are all made in house and simply amazing. I highly recommend everyone who has a little chocolate craving while staying in Cozumel. I can't wait to go back for my favorite chocolate caramel! read more

Yelp doesn't have as many recent reviews for this place so I'm posting here instead of trip advisor for others that may check here instead. This place makes the most amazing chocolates I have tasted. The fact that these chocolates are also hand made shows the dedication to the craft being exemplified. I was given several samples of different fillings (at least 8) to help with my selection which I appreciated so much. Pricing when I came here is either 640 pesos for a box of 16 or $35 USD. I was a little bothered by the pricing until I actually ate one. After eating a few( I couldn't stop at one) it's definitely worth the price tag not to mention that these are handcrafted. I purchased two boxes as gifts and a third which I ate. I specifically made this trip to Cozumel solely for this one store because I could not find any good chocolate places in Playa del Carmen. Ah Ca Cao has chocolate but nothing like what I would consider as a gift and for that matter nothing as crafted and beautiful. It wasn't really a gamble considering tripadvisor has 500+ reviews of 5 stars for this place. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g150809-d2536275-Reviews-Chocolateria_Isla_Bella-Cozumel_Yucatan_Peninsula.html Some of my favorites for anyone going is café latte, the nutty, tiramisu, oxxaca, mexican, and mescal. There really wasn't anything I didn't like. Just check the pictures to see the details of these chocolates. This review is made for my trip on Nov 20, 2017. Oh..one more thing....their hours are only 1-7 pm everyday except Sunday so it is a smaller window of opportunity but if you get a chance to come I would recommend it! read more

This place popped up when I was looking for chocolate shops around the Playa Del Carmen area, and I decided to check it out when I visited Cozumel. The first time I went I bought about 6 truffles. I tried the non-dairy cinnamon bun first and was amazed at how delicious it was! I've always been a huge fan of chocolates, and I have to say that this is some of the best chocolate I've ever had. Each truffle I had was absolutely delicious, and the flavors were unlike anything else I've tried. They were so good that the next day I took the ferry to Cozumel just to buy a box of 16 truffles. If you are ever in this area, you have to try the chocolates. You will not regret it! read more

Delicious chocolates made daily. We got several truffles - mezcal, peanut butter, coffee, sea salt, ancho Chile, and the orange habenero. They were all delicious and made with great quality dark chocolate ingredients. We also picked up a pack of hot chocolate and I can't wait to get home to make it. We've heard great things about their hot chocolate but they only sell packets to go - you can't get a cup of hot chocolate at the store. Beautiful presentation and great tasting chocolate. Worth the walk off the main strip and just a block away from Maple Bakehouse where you can get that cup of coffee or hot chocolate. read more

The wife and I discovered this place on our honeymoon years ago. We have been huge fans ever since. We hit the island once a year. It is now a must. There chocolate is rich and indulgent. Their flavors make the taste buds jump, the habanero one is my fav. The owners are amazing as well. In august when I was there for a short trip, I wanted their chocolate to bring home but their hours changed due to the pandemic. I reached out on What's app and the owner actually opened the shop so i could have some to bring home. Went WAY out of their way!!! Staff is sweet and friendly and always willing to answer questions. A must if you are on the island read more

Super cool little hole in the wall chocolate shop. Let's you sample a lot of different things before you decide which one you want. All homemade. Amazing taste and great prices. Highly recommend read more

This is a little bit of a walk from the Cruise ports, but trust me. It's worth it!!! The chocolates were soooo good! We bought a box of 16 and it really wasn't enough!! Now that I'm back in the states, I really regret not having bought more. When I brought it back to the ship, my niece loved them so much she ate 4 by herself. (I gave her ONE and then the little rascal hunted around my room for the box and ate more TIL I caught her!) The truffles are imprinted with a beautiful flower on top of the harder chocolate shell. We got (and loved) Creme brûlée, tiramisu, cacao nibs, coffee, double chocolate and the chai is to DIE for! If you guys ever start shipping to the US, I need to be the first to know !!! read more

Beautiful delicious well made chocolate! Went here our first night and had some truffles-- peanut butter, mezcal, double chocolate, coffee, vanilla and orange habanero. They were wonderful! Not too sweet, very rich and every flavor we through beautifully. I adored the orange habanero because you get the orange and some heat on the back-- the heat was subtle the orange was bright and citrusy all of it enveloped in rich dark chocolate-- that is perfection. Heat plus chocolate is something they have perfected here that I, sadly, can't get at home. I will be back! Now I just wish I could get them shipped! read more

Calling this establishment a candy shop really doesn't do it justice. They are purveyors of fine, hand-made chocolates and truffles. When we arrived, we tried samples of the coconut lime white chocolate fondant and the Mexican hot chocolate fondant. Generally, I don't really care for white chocolate, but that stuff was AWESOME! So, we picked out our truffles. I went with a dark chocolate Mexican chocolate truffle and a dark chocolate mescal truffle, which had chile and mescal, added to the Mexican hot chocolate fondant. My hubby went with the peanut butter and the hazelnut fondant filled truffles. I thought the mescal was the best. (I regret not getting the lime coconut truffles.) They were working on a batch of drinking chocolate, which smelled amazing. Basically, it's a chocolate where the cocoa is mixed with spices, sugar and nuts etc., then ground into a fine paste, cooled and broken into usable lumps. You add it to hot water/milk to make really amazing hot chocolate. I got some, and it is so good, I keep munching on it as a treat. I haven't yet managed to make it into a drink,but I know it will be great, once I do. The staff were extremely helpful, and spoke fluent English. The sheer quality of the confections, are fantastic for the price! Note: Cash only read more

This is a must visit on your next trip to Cozumel. Tucked down a street about 2 blocks from the square you will find chocolate heaven! In unassuming store front tucked inside are handcrafted chocolates made daily with numerous fillings.Tequila Lime Coconut, Chai, Caramel, Chipotle, Peanut Butter etc. The array is eye catching. When you walk in there is a table filled with sampling spoons of the fillings. Once you try one you will be hooked. One of the great finds is the Mexican Chocolate Blend,(cocao, almonds, cinnamon, and unrefined cane sugar) this can use in coffees and hot chocolate or simply eating for energy. The owners, mother and daughter are so well versed in their craft and share the story of the cocao bean. The quality of this product is fantastic and it is very reasonable in price. Don't compare this to a grocery store candy bar.. But if you want an amazing gift or a personal indulgence this is for you. They package the chocolate for easy travel. We took home 3 boxes and the Mex. Chocolate Blend. Can't wait to come back! I recommend to all my friends who travel to Cozumel. We captured some great pics during our Nov 2016 visit. read more

This place is my favorite guilty pleasure on the island. I'm fairly sure they give you samples each time you enter because there is then no way you're walking out without making a purchase. At 26 pesos each, these truffles may seem expensive but I can promise you that they are worth it. I am not a fan of white chocolate, but find myself getting at least one each time. My personal favorites are the Mexican hot chocolate, coco nibs, or TLC (tequila, lime, and coconut - just trust me on this one). The coco nibs and drinking chocolate are also delicious. Admittedly I have never actually made hot chocolate from these; I just eat them raw. I highly recommend going, enjoying the great service, and indulging in more chocolate than one could ever need. read more

A little shop right on the main shopping strip in downtown in San Miguel, this is a must stop for anyone who loves/likes chocolate. Made fresh on site with a variety of flavored fillings to choose from. The display case is well labeled, and they have a menu with a description of each kind. They are happy to give you samples as well. My family each tried a different one ($2 each for a nice size); and then made our way back after lunch to buy a box to take home. Fillings such as chipotle lime, peanut butter, caramel, etc. there are tons to choose from. It is now a must stop on any visit to Cozumel. read more

We found this lovely chocolate shop off the main Street while looking for a lunch spot. What a great shop. Samples at the ready, large rich filled ganache type chocolates. Organic and hand made every day. My husband and I shared 2 pieces,peanut butter filling and salted caramel. Each piece was huge and more than enough. There were at least 20 different varieties of filings with white or dark chocolate shells. Would have loved to take some home but it was an hour walk back to our ship and 90 degrees out. Definitely worth the trip. read more

I went here last February and I totally spaced on leaving a review. The fact that I'm writing it now speaks clearly to just what an amazing impression this chocolate shop left on me. The staff were great and most importantly the chocolate was other worldly good. We tried many flavors and each had its own unique spin on a rich and creamy chocolate base. I highly recommend the salted caramel, vanilla, and peanut butter but you can't really go wrong. Would vacation again to Cozumel just for this shop. read more

This was right across the street from Bullritos Gorditos (which was REALLY good). So we stopped in, I had 2 different chocolates, they were incredibly rich and $2 each. They make everything there fresh. It was a neat find. read more

Heaven on a heavenly island. They hand process the cacao and make luscious, rich chocolate for tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The truffles are fab, and the staff is very knowledgeable about the chocolate process. Enjoy a sample, but drink in the scents and flavor of one of their handmade truffles. Heaven. read more

Amazing! The best chocolates we've ever had! The store is quaint and cute, and the mother/daughter owners are extremely friendly and welcoming. We will definitely recommend Chocolateria Isla Bella to our friends who visit the island. read more

Wonderful! The chocolates were delicious, and the owners super nice! They sell out fast, so get there early! They are ex-pats from San Fransisco who moved down and started the shop --great to talk to and seriously, don't leave without buying some chocolates! read more

Definitely visit Chocolateria Isla Bella when you are in Cozumel! The chocolate is unique and delicious, and makes for good snacks, desserts, and even gifts! The two women that own the shop are incredibly kind and helpful, and wonderful to chat with if you have some time to sit and enjoy some of their delicacies. I was there for a few months, and this shop became my favorite place on the island. I can't wait to go back! read more
