Although steep I figured it was better than shelling out $40 for the one on TikTok. The staff was very friendly. They helped me find what I wanted. Not to mention the place was really nice. I loved the giant lava lamps!! The chocolate was excellent. You can tell they make a premium chocolate. The way it melts in your mouth is just savory, sweet, and remarkable. You can tell there's love in each batch. I mean bravo. Other than the parking situation it's a great spot. Fair warning tho if you plan on going in the afternoon and evening be prepared to park quite a ways. Parking fills up fast in that area. I'll definitely be returning. I think I need another one of those delicious chocolate bars. I also wanna try more stuff on their menu.

Back in late November 2025, I was in Albuquerque, NM, fulfilling my loved ones' Christmas shopping…read morelist wishes. Before leaving town, I headed to the Eastside for Chocolate Cartel. The name certainly intrigued me, but their slogan did too: no fluff . no flair . the best cacao . I was in! While I didn't experience any "fluff," I thought that their chocolates actually did have some flair. They do have items for those bougie friends. Lol. I ordered a sample 6-pack truffle box ($19) that my daughters and I split together: Bee Pollen, Lavender Vanilla, Flowers of Italy, Green Chile & Salt, Pistachio in White, and Peppermint. I really should have gotten a bigger box after seeing how excited my girls were about this. Next time... I also enjoyed a discounted (due to it being broken) green chile and salt chocolate bar. They outsource other niceties: air fresheners, candles, and gelato. I wish I had stomach space for the gelato, but next time! Very nice, helpful service on the 26th. Overall, it is chocolate done maybe a bit simple yet exceedingly well.

While I usually go to Buffet's Cannery off of 7th, I was hoping to find my popcorn here. They did have a few selections of popcorn, but not the exact flavor I wanted. This store did have a ton of chocolates, including the noted Red Chili brittle. This is delicious and a must have! Buffets has very friendly staff and even offers you a free sample when you enter. Buffets reminds me of what I have seen Candy stores looking like from the 1950s - very retro! It was a blast from the past.

They also have a section with "naughty" themed chocolates and another section where you can purchase Breaking Bad and New Mexico themed souvenirs. I bought a Los Pollos Hermanos shirt on a previous visit. The staff has been very kind on both my visits and they even let you use their single bathroom which is nice of them to do. The Candy Lady will undoubtedly satisfy your sweet tooth so be sure to come here!

I quickly did some search arond the neighborhood and decided to stop by this cafe, because I had it on bookmark for quite a while. Plus, getting nice, proper treat sounded like a wonderful idea to me! From the moment of me walking in, the staff were very friendly, helpful and just welcoming. You can grab some items to go (and some souvenir items), or, if you make a reservation ahead of time (especially if you come with a large party), it's best to make a reservation. For me, I was so grateful that they even let me do the high tea, even with me just stopping by last minute! I loved that there were so many types/flavor profile of tea to choose from. Teh high tea also came with different snack items (from crostini and pie to sorbet and sandwichs) to go along with tea as well. I had a seasonal pumpkin pie tea and a peach & ginger decaf tea and it was perfect! A plus is that the price of the tea party is very reasonable. I want to say it is just about half as costly as other tea spots you might have heard of in town! I loved the calmness that I got from the venue..and great tasting food and drink that didn't make me feel so sluggish after eating and drinking all of them! I would love to stop by here again when I'm in the area or take my friend to check out this place!

Overall: Out of all the high tea experience, this was the most homely one. It felt like you were…read moregoing to your grandma's house and she made you tea and snacks (in a good way). If you want an elevated experience, I would go to La Quinta or St. James, but this is a great option if you want a casual warm experience. The food starts with a small salad and biscuits then 3 courses (small appetizers, tea sandwiches, dessert). The food was good. The scones are not traditional English or American scones but rather a soft almost muffin like biscuit. They were yummy but not what I would have expected. The courses come paired with a tea. All their teas were good and paired well with the food. They even allowed us to take it home in to go cups because we got too full to finish the tea our food in the last course!
