This is a very cute and extremely immaculate boutique chocolate shop in Five Points in a former Hallmark store. My Sorority sister and I visited yesterday and the staff were so friendly and the chocolates were absolutely delightfully lovely to look at! Sister purchased a box of them and I think the price was about $2.00 per chocolate item. Honestly, I don't like chocolate and bought nothing here and Sister didn't try any of the chocolates while we were together yesterday and I can't report on how they tasted. They do look absolutely lovely! The duo who were running the shop (husband and wife maybe?) had two vats of chocolate up front as you enter they were working with.
Local news articles say this shop brings small-batch goodness to Huntsville. Cocoa Bama offers decadent truffles, bold flavor parings and Southern hospitality. Cocoa Bama sources cacao beans with rich flavor notes from fruity to earth, and bold Southern flavors such as bourbon caramel, honey pecan, toasted praline, and seasonal creations.
Hannah Platko is the owner, and this shop is inspired by Cocoa Vienna which is a beloved chocolate shop founded by her father in Vienna Virginia in 2013. Hannah moved to Huntsville in 2023.
Cocoa Bama offers tasting flights, seasonal collection, chocolate making workshops, curated gift boxes, and custom assortments that are thoughtful gifts for holidays, birthdays, weddings, and corporate events. They even offer custom creations.
All of their chocolates, and trust me, they have a LOT of chocolate items (and I think some gummy bears) are hand crafted and hand decorated.
The shop has two comfortable benches with cute (and store themed) throw pillows that flank the entrance/exit. As you face the store from Pratt Avenue, Star Market grocery store is to the right and the second location of Good Company company cafe is to the left.
Free street parking is available or you could park at Star Market or Propst pharmacy across the street and still be just a few steps away! read more
