This review is for both the cafe and chocolate shop. The…read moreshop is using high end chocolate such as Valrhona and Republica de Cacao and the prices reflect it. The bonbons are outstanding. The outer shells are whisper thin, reflecting true skill on the part of those casting the chocolate. The fruit fillings are bright and sharp and in the multi-flavored fillings the individual flavors meld harmoniously but are each distinctly recognizable. Highly recommended. The cafe is small with both indoor and outdoor seating. Situated on a quiet, leafy corner of Avenida Amsterdam it's a wonderful place to start the with coffee or an indulgent mocha and pastry. I wish they offered their cakes by the slice as I've never been a big fan of laminated pastry but stuff anything with gianduja and it's bound to rock. N.B. The danish is actually a cruffin made from croissant dough but it's buttery and well laminated and unless you're a weird chocolate hater you'll be happy.

I got a whole bag and a cocoa to go. My Chocolate con cacao fermentado was delicious. The staff member made it fresh with the traditional beater in pot. It was silky and decadent, rich chocolate. And it had a lovely grain from coarsely ground cacao nibs. I've never welcomed a texture like that but I now yearn for it.

They gave us a good breakdown on the differences between "lavado" and "fermentado" chocolate, had us try different nibs to taste the difference and recommended some beverages. We ended up getting the 50% drinks with milk in both chocolate types. Our fave was the lavado style as it's less bitter. They also have baked goods and ice cream to munch on as you sip your chocolate. There's seating outdoors and some upstairs where you can hang with friends and take a break from the busy city life. I brought some of their chocolate bars back home with me, and they were rich and made with unrefined piloncillo.

I can't go back to American hot chocolate and my wallet is cooked. The staff were quiet but kind and brought the drink to my table. I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to leave my cup so I brought it back down from the loft. The variety of chocolate available is impressive for a small shop. The prices are a bit high but beat what I can get at home for sure. I'm not enough a connoisseur to compare different chocolate qualities but I expect a pleasant graininess from small shards of cacao nibs but my brew was smooth as can be. However, the taste was pleasant and might be a plus for those who want a smoothly textured chocolate.

So one night while making my way back to my hotel in Roma Norte, after some late night drinking, I…read morenoticed a spot that was open that didn't look like a bar or taco shop. They had a pretty good crowd, that's when I noticed it was a churro shop and it was called El Moro. During my weeklong trip to Mexico City I ended up visiting this shop multiple times during all different times of the day and evening. This business I found out later has multiple locations and is one of the most famous churro shops in all of Mexico City. I really enjoyed them so much-their churros are made fresh all day I liked that this location was super clean and had plenty of tables to sit to enjoy your freshly made churros and coffee drinks. Speaking of coffee drinks, they have excellent coffee as many a mornings on this trip started with coffee from El Moro. Their churros are very inexpensive as they run about 16 pesos($0.95 USD) each.So we always grabbed a few every visit. The churros had a really good size to them and were just doused in cinnamon and sugar-they tasted perfect both sweetness level and texture-wise. I generally always ordered Americanos which ran 55 pesos($3.25 USD) Not the best value in the world but good enough/they matched up well with the fresh churros. Overall I would highly recommend stopping by El Moro if you run across one of them on your travels to Mexico City-I really enjoyed them and look forward to visiting them again on future visits to Mexico City.
