I loooove Cocoa Parlor. The chocolates are INCREDIBLE - rich, creamy, and somehow completely plant-based. I came in for Valentine's Day to pick up chocolate, and it had become my go-to gift destination since. The packaging is super cute and the chocolate tastes way more expensive than it actually is! The folks working there are super friendly and always help you pick the perfect assortment. Whether it's for birthdays, holidays, or just because, Cocoa Parlor has become my go-to spot for presents that impress everyone. read more

Whether you are dairy free or not, you will love the quality of chocolate here. The variety of flavors is terrific and each one has an incredible flavor profile. I'm sad there is only one location but we make the drive because it is worth it!!! The cocoa used is very high quality and each flavor is pronounced enough so they aren't overwhelmed by the chocolate. Just absolutely my favorite!!!! read more

I've been coming to cocoa parlor for around five years now for whenever I need a gift for someone and they never disappoint! The staff is always so friendly, and today Karen was very helpful in showing me all of the popular truffle options. When I told her the truffles I was buying were gifts, she got creative with the packaging and added small flowers! She also gave me a sample of their almond crunch bar and it tasted great! If you need tasty gourmet chocolate options and some great gifts I'd absolutely recommend Cocoa Parlor! Thank you to the staff! :) read more

Wonderful. Friendly. Helpful. Vegan. Chocolate. Yum. That about sums it all up. Located in a strip mall, but easy to find with parking right out front. The chocolate is really delicious. My personal fave was the dark chocolate peanut butter truffle. Wow. So Good!!! read more

Only organic foods are served here without anything containing soy. You can find their chocolate bars in some stores and boutiques, but this is the only location to purchase their truffles and bark and cookies, many of the products are gluten free. The truffle flavors that I found laid out in perfect rows during my visit included chocolate orange, raspberry, black seed curry, caramel jungle, peanut butter crunch, peanut butter milk chocolate, peanut butter dark chocolate, caramel milk chocolate, caramel dark chocolate, hazelnut, cappuccino, espresso, cinnamon latte, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and coconut. The chocolate bark flavors at the time of my visit included cranberry hazelnut, cashew bark, almond bark, and goji berry hemp. They also serve organic coffee and hot chocolate with a little bar to the side with add ins for personalizing your drinks (such as organic coconut oil). The shop is just large enough for a bistro table, a couch, and coffee table for patrons with some seating outside as well. Parking lot in the front was very accessible. read more

Stopped by cocoa parlor with my fiancé after having lunch in the parking lot. The owner/staff was waiting and very friendly. It was our first time, so the friendly staff member showed us around and talked about the different items. We grabbed a few of the truffles and some of the fun Halloween themed items. Everything tasted amazing and we will definitely be back. Packaging was nice as well! read more

Was craving something sweet after our morning yoga session at Park Lantern in Dana Point and found this adorable chocolate parlor nearby that uses high quality ingredients!! Their truffles are made in house and are all organic, vegan & dairy free! We got the 6pcs Truffle Box for $12 and had so much fun selecting our truffles. The employee was very friendly and gave us recommendations! My personal favorite was the Hazelnut Truffle and Tai loved the Strawberry Milkshake Truffle. read more

This is an absolute hidden gem!!! By far the BEST chocolate I have ever had. Beautiful gift boxes!!! Joey was incredible, so knowledgeable and personable. I wish I had photos to post but I inhaled them, they are Almost to pretty to eat. read more

Their 'organic' high quality, hand crafted Dark Chocolate Truffle had fungus growing inside the shell. Called the owner to let her know this and she said her chocolates are only meant to last a week or less, even if you refrigerate them!! My family has had an upset stomach after eating these within the first few days. Requested her to put a disclaimer of the short shelf life inside each box. Instead of being appreciative for the time I had taken to call and give her my feedback she went on to say how "we consumers" are spoilt with store packaged long-lasting poor quality chocolates! Talk about being presumptuous. I told her that I would be happy to send her photos of the piece of fungus-laden chocolate so she can QC it with her team and she hung up!!!! Wow, some customer service! read more

Great local chocolate shop. All organic and some vegan choices. All made in in the back of the store. You can sample almost all the different flavors. The truffles are excellent. My favorite bar is probably surfer girl. The only disappointing thing there was the hot chocolate. It was too sweet for me. I wish they made a drinking chocolate... read more

My husband just brought home some of the Cocoa Parlor products: a box of 4 chocolates, a vegan white currant and peanuts bar, and a chocolate cacao roasted cashews bar. These were part of my anniversary gifts. OMG! These are so good. We opened the box last night, and it lasted maybe 15 minutes. After I came home from my workout today, I opened the white chocolate bar, and we couldn't put it away. These are soooo good! But beware! Once you start eating some, you cannot stop! Tomorrow I will say hello and then probably goodbye to the chocolate cashews bar! These Cocoa Parlor products are amazing! read more

Cocoa Parlor chocolate is my favorite now. Especially 80% dark chocolate that has velvety taste and is soooo gooood! I tried almost every bar at this brand. The service is amazing. The place is very bright, welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend this chocolate place! read more

I found this chocolate shop in search of vegan treats. It's a small but cute shop, you can see straight into the kitchen-work area I like that! I got greeted by a friendly staff member she was extremely helpful, I didn't get her name. They have an large selection of vegan & non vegan organic chocolates which you can taste. They have a sampling area which I love! They also have a display case full of truffles & other chocolates. I ended up with a chocolate bar $5 & a bag of chocolate & almond bark $10, & $2 white chocolate bunnies for Easter treats. I love to eat local & this place is amazing! read more

A little taste of Europe with California flair. Accidentally happened upon this little gem today and I am SO excited to have a place like this tucked away in a sleepy little Laguna Niguel shopping center. Their products are all extremely high quality with the utmost care an attention paid to not just flavor, but environmental impact, and even dietary restrictions. I tried the curry mint truffle and the rosemary fig truffle, paired with a generous sample of their Pu Erh tea. So surprising and delicious. We are lucky to have a new hot spot in Laguna Niguel! read more

Mmmm... Truffles! The peanut butter and lemon truffles were amazing! The Crushed Velvet bars are my new favorite. A great new spot for sure! read more

This place makes Chocolate truffles and chocolate bars to DIE for. Anytime I need my chocolate fix, I trek down to Cocoa Parlor. Cynthia is the lovely lady who is always there to help me with my orders. She makes amazing recommendations and makes me laugh as she packages up each of my chocolate items. I work remotely and when I make a trip back to mothership (aka. Office Headquarters), I stop in and ask Cynthia to package up about 20 different truffle party favors for me. If you are a peanut butter lover, you have to try their peanut butter truffles. Their peanut butter crunch is like a reese's peanut butter and krackle love child. If you are placing a large order, I find it helpful to call ahead. read more

Omg! I can never eat any other chocolates now that I discovered this shop. Theres NOTHING in the stores that compare

The cookies and truffles are not very good at all. The people who work here are super sweet but you might have better luck at a Whole Foods looking for vegan treats. The cookies and truffles had so much sugar in them you could feel the granulated sugar particles in every bite and there was little to no flavor in each one. I'm sad because I was excited about a vegan treat place being so close to me but it's very expensive for not very good chocolate. read more

Wow! Where do I begin? I came here yesterday for a little treat and ended up having a truffle tasting with the owner, Karen, who is so sweet and knowledgeable. She has the most interesting combinations of truffles like dark chocolate quinoa, cherry lime, mango ginger and even curry. My favorite had to be the vegan dark chocolate peanut butter truffle with pink Himalayan sea salt! It was to die for!!! In addition to truffles they also make chocolate bars that have fun names to go along with their high quality ingredients. A box of truffles are a perfect addition to a dinner party or even as a hostess gift! What a great little shop! This chocolate shop emphasizes all of the things that are important to me... Organic, GMO free, soy free and vegan. Definitely stop in for a taste and a truffle...... or 5! The only thing you'll regret is not having visited sooner! read more

I stopped in last night before heading to Sabuco. Both are fabulous and I'm so thankful we have 2 new great spots in Laguna Niguel. Now, about the chocolate....it's amazing. Each bite is a meal in itself and the flavors are subtle, but interesting. I selected 6 different kinds and I'm slowly making my way through the box. The price is $2 per chocolate, but well worth every penny.This is not chocolate you eat one after another. It should be savored and maybe paired with a great wine. The owners are super helpful at describing the different flavors and what goes into the process. Very sweet couple. The My only recommendation is that they stay open later so folks from Sabuco can come over and enjoy a chocolate after dinner. I will be back! read more

My boyfriend got me a box of 12 of the vegan truffles as an early Valentine's treat & I am floored by how good these are. The chocolate is rich & the flavors are greatly balanced. Easily the best vegan chocolate I've had (especially the caramel!). I had to leave a review as soon as possible. So good! read more

I just tried these chocolates for the first time when I received them for Mother's day. I was so impressed with the amazing tastes and varieties. They make a very unique gift. I would highly recommend trying them. I hope to get to the store to see all that is offered. read more

Great Place. Love the great coffee & friendly staff! love the cocoa parlor. Great homemade fresh food & great chocolate

Decadent, handcrafted, and organic chocolate! Chocolate bars, truffles, coffee, granola, etc.

Checked out this great little chocolate shop after researching Yelp for chocolatiers in South Orange County. Tons of selection which ranged from their own chocolate bars to incredible truffles of varying creative flavors. I was helped by the owners who were the nicest people and extremely knowledgeable on all things chocolate. The chocolate itself is some of the highest quality chocolate I have tried and is worth the premium price you pay. If you're looking for a special sweet gift for someone or just have a dark chocolate craving, this small, independent business is a must try. You will be hooked. read more

Located in a space where there used to be an excellent bakery, came looking for one found the other! Holy Smokes! My wife, who takes her chocolate very seriously, proclaimed one of their chocolates "best gianduia ever!" Sublime, subtle, heart racing, delicious concoctions made with obvious care. Made with wholesome ingredients. The kind of craft entrepreneurial effort that should be nurtured and supported in this day of conglomerate food production. read more

The owner is a very sweet lady named Karen, we work out together at our lovely box Dana point Crossfit. I went to her chocolate shop to buy chocolate covered strawberries the shop is really cute and has that home feel to it she took care of me when I dropped in, local businesses like this have a special place in my heart and have my business for life. Her selection of organic chocolates are off the chart I strongly recommend this place for your chocolate needs, Godiva and other shops don't match the quality, Care and pride in her chocolates. read more

Oh my, these truffles are so good! My hubby was sweet enough to pick some up for me so I got a sampling. They were all good! This place is minutes from home but worth the drive for people further away. Great for any chocolate lover, or as a hostess gift, or as a treat for yourself just because! read more

A big slice of heaven here in this shop. We are lucky to have this in our little town!! The hipsters in the big cities could not do any better. Amazing, delicious chocolate. Love this place!! read more

Some of the best Chocolate I've ever had. This place truly cares about quality and consistency. Been buying their bars for years now via Mother's Market and finally decided to check out their retail store/kitchen. Richard took the time to chat with us for over an hour as we sampled their various blends. I never thought dark chocolate could be so good! read more

Oh my goodness I'm speechless :-) the 88% single source vegan only has 3 ingredients :-) very clean tasting I was really impressed and thank you for producing your soy free vegan amazing chocolate...Absolutely the best chocolate I've ever had as good as it gets :-) read more

The chocolates here are not your typical vegan dry tasteless chocolates... They are the most delicious chocolate bars I have ever tasted! AND yet they are super healthy!!!! I stumbled Upon This Place by accident and I have just moved to Orange County from Los Angeles.. So I am sort of a snob when it comes to sampling new foods and sweets! And I am a very picky vegan eater to begin with! Thank you Cocoa Parlor for saving my sweet tooth and not making me feel guilty for eating sweets!!! read more

My nirvana! Chocolates are sinfully good. Who knew chocolate could be that delicious and decadent! Hope this place becomes wildly successful and stays open forever. read more

This chocolate is simply delicious. You taste the purity and creativity of the makers. I like to offer chocolate for gifts and for once I simply wanted my diner host to open it up and serve it. I love these chocolates. What a discovery. I will be back. read more

I haven't actually been to the physical store, but I just picked up a few bars from a local vendor, and this is the best chocolate I have EVER eaten. It has a rich, bold flavor, and the price is pretty reasonable, especially when you compare it to other high end chocolate producers. The Night Train 75 with the cocoa nibs in it is my all-time favorite. I cannot recommend their chocolate highly enough. read more
