Great little dessert spot. Some things were a bit hard to eat like the ice cream sandwich with chocolate chip cookies../ the textures just weren't quite right and hard to bite with how frozen the chocolate got. But the flavors were awesome. read more

Incredible spot to grab a sweet treat! Small but cute and filled with lots of chocolate goodies! Truffles, chocolate bars, whoopie pies, all the things! I would highly recommend you check this place out if you have a sweet tooth. Everything I've ever tried had been incredible. The people working here are also very kind and helpful! read more

The pinnacle of lovely, hand crafted chocolates. They look like they should be in a museum or a jewelry shop, but take my word for it: the best place for these decadent treats is your tummy. read more

I went to Mokaya recently to finally try their desserts! I had seen so many of their posts throughout social media for YEARS. I decided to stop in and was completely blown away. I personally don't eat many chocolates, bonbons, truffles, or similar products so I was elated to find out that they had tons of baked goods and other options. The staff was extremely patient, knowledgable, and helpful while I took forever to figure out what I wanted. Everything in the store is not only beautiful to look at but also delicious. I ended up getting 3 of the Valentine's Day themed baked goods: chocolate fudge cake, whoopie pie, and brownie. I was expecting the desserts to be extremely rich and dense but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the desserts weren't too sweet nor too dense. The brownie was really fudgey and thicker than many I've had, but had so much flavor. The whoopie pie was something totally new to me and it was so fun and yummy! The cake was delicious and I felt so bad eating it. But I did buy it because it was a way to show love to myself for the holiday. I highly recommend going to Mokaya! I plan on going back to try the rest of their baked goods and I can't wait for it to be warmer to try some of their ice cream. read more

Wow delish! You walk into Mokaya and instantly feel like you are at Willy wonkas chocolate factory. Seriously, I need that scent in a candle. Service was prompt, friendly and helpful! The carrot cake was amazing- we are carrot cake lovers and this definitely tops the list. Perfectly moist cake layers. I've never had a toffee like crunch on top, but it was a welcome surprise. The cookie cheese cake at first felt a bit too one- textured, but we realized we were not getting the crunchy cookie crust and this definitely changed our minds. The caramel is light and adds an extra layer to this dessert. So far, we have only tried the Himalayan salt caramel (AMAZING, if you love caramel, you need this), turtle (so cute, exactly what you'd expect), but we can't wait to try the rest! read more

Absolutely delectable chocolate shop with items that are worth the price. All of the chocolate truffles that I tried were delicious, but the cardamom and orange blossom was one of my favorites. The outer dark chocolate shell is thin and the perfect package for the filling. They include a "cheat sheet" with your chocolates to help you remember which flavors you selected. They also offer a handful of vegan options, but they seem to go quick, so snap them up when you have the chance! Can't wait to try more selections in the future! read more

Food - 11/10. Everything they make is beautiful. You'll almost be mad when you find out that everything tastes better than it looks. Worth every penny. I moved to SF but this is a place on my to-do list when back in GR. I tell people about their s'mores sundae and without fail it makes people make yummy noises just hearing about it. Get it. You're going to be sticky and sated. Service - Another 11/10. They are knowledgeable but not pushy. These folks are proud of their craft and it shows. If they are out of something, you will 100% get a list of alternatives (if you want them). Ambiance - Sitting at a table out front as the trees cast a shadow on you while watching people carry on is nostalgia waiting to happen. Try it. You'll see what I mean. Merch - The merch here is top tier. Great quality and doesn't feel run-of-the-mill. I've had our merch for literal years and everything is holding up just fine. read more

Subjective: Stumbled upon this unassuming shop while walking around Eastown last year and have been such a big fan I've been trying to be a regular ever since. The shop itself is small- no seating inside and limited seating outdoors- and filled to the brim with a variety of sweet treats. At first glance, the truffles and bonbons would seem to be the stars, but while they are delicious I wouldn't sleep on the other desserts they have. Their specially prepared drinks, pastries, and ice cream are not only eye candy, they are well made and spectacular tasting as well. I especially enjoy their lemon tarts and seasonal specials (they had a really yummy strawberry one for summer), brown butter toffee cookie (regular and ice cream sandwich form), and drinking chocolate. If you can resist, their products make great gifts, and service in my experience has always been friendly and fun. Objective: Date of visit/Previous visits: Compilation of multiple visits Takes reservations/call aheads? Yes, website for order ahead Parking: street Perceived capacity: small Perceived atmosphere: casual Wait time to seating: not applicable What I/we got: My go tos- cookies, drinking chocolate, ice cream (sandwiches in the summer, pints in the winter) cost: $5-10 dollars depending on dessert Assessment: 5 stars- delicious, quality artisan desserts Plan: I actively try to go here on a regular basis to get my sweet fix - love them so much! read more

I just love this little chocolate haven. The owner is a delight to chit chat with and I enjoy just about everything they put out. I think the creativity they put into their work warrants the price. If you're looking for a great pick me up or gift for a friend - look no further. read more

I found this unique chocolate shop after eating at Winchester and I'm so glad I stopped in. I have never seen anything like this and was very impressed by how creative the art was. There were a variety of unique truffles and bonbons to choose from including other sweet treats and gifts. Aside from the art, the truffles I got were delicious. - Honey lavender (Dark chocolate) - Mint Mocha (Dark chocolate) - Cotton candy hedgehog (white chocolate) - Turtle (Carmel and pecan) read more

The strawberry basket is very tasty. We bought Xmas tree and now we are looking forward to break it soon!

We LOVED Mokaya. Such an underrated spot that produces artesian chocolates which are more art than food. However, also absolutely delicious! One of the owners were there to serve us and answered any questions we had. Such a cute place and a great location on Wealthy. read more

OMG best chocolates ever. As I took an urgent phone call I didn't get to really explore as I wanted to (my uncle was hit by a car, he's fine!) but yeah I very much enjoyed my chocolates from here. So pretty too. My son kept pointing out the minions (they were something lemon) lol. Which we did not get because I doubt my son would actually eat it but it was cute. read more

This place has been on my list since I moved to Grand Rapids a couple years back and I'm so glad I finally had a good reason to go check it out! My mom was coming into town for her birthday and I immediately knew I wanted to get her some treats from here! I placed an order online through their website around 3 in the afternoon and went to pick it up around 5! Super easy and smooth process. I ordered an assorted box of chocolates which comes with bonbons and truffles. Literally so beautiful!! Very impressed. I also ordered a birthday cake. They have "mini" cakes for $10 and it's the perfect size for 2 people (or just for yourself) and was super tasty. They have a couple different chocolate bars to choose from and I picked out a coffee dark chocolate one for my mom as well. Of course I had to get a snack for myself so I went for the Whoopie Pie. So delicious! I think everything is priced super fair for what you are getting (handmade chocolates and baked goods!!) and their location is in a great neighborhood. Can't wait to try more items from here in the future. read more

If you are looking for local quality chocolate goodies, Mokaya is the place to visit! I received a box of Mokaya chocolates as a gift earlier this year, and loved them. Eating the chocolate made me want to go to the physical location to take a look (and if you want to look, keep in mind that they are closed on Monday and Sunday). Mokaya changes up their chocolates, which makes it fun. The shop was small and intimate, but there was plenty to see. They had so many different assortments of chocolates. My favorite were the ones that were shaped as cobblestones (as you can see in the pictures), turtles, and frogs. Everything is made by hand in Grand Rapids. The flavors are so unique - the time I went there, there were chocolate goodies like like raspberry caramel, white chocolate vanilla latte truffles, dark chocolate coconut truffles, cherry key lime bonbon, etc. The coatings to some of the chocolates were so beautifully colored. The salespeople even let me try a sample of their spicy dark chocolate (that was in a shape of a lip), which was so good. The spiciness kicked in but was not overwhelming. I could still taste the dark chocolate flavor. Their chocolate is rich and not too sweet. Each chocolate is perfectly sized so it won't feel too thick. You can pick and choose chocolates and they will put it into a cute box that has dividers inside. You have the option to create the following truffle boxes: 2-piece box ($6.00) 4-piece box ($12.00) 6-piece box ($17.00) 12-piece box ($34.00) It is a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. And they make excellent gifts! read more

Brown butter toffee cookie Brownie Salted caramel & classic hot coco That brownie was just somethin else. Best "gooey and fudgey" brownie I've had. Cookie was also amazing, I'm glad to see brown butter get some more love :) the toffee flavor really came through nicely. I loved both of the hot coco's but I think I preferred the salted caramel one. Bit more of a unique flavor to it. Gotta come back here for more stuff, their cakes and tarts looked heavenly. They have so many different baked goods and candies here (including packaged goods that would work well as a gift). The staff really seems to enjoy what they were doing and explained some of their options to me. Really cool people and place. Coming back here again! read more

So.Good. From beverages, to baked goods, "regular" to vegan options, Mokaya is great! The peanut butter cup was solid on the outside (until I cut it ). The inside was a mix of creamy peanut butter with peanut butter crumbles. It was so rich in texture and flavor. The outside chocolate shell was just as delicious. I could only eat half the first go of it because of how rich and delicious it was. The toffee cookie was also purchased. Tried a nibble of it. At first, you feel like you've just bit into a regular chocolate chip cookie, BUT THEN the toffee flavor and texture hits. Another great creation from Mokaya. If nothing else, walk in for the smell alone read more

My friend gave me a gift card to Mokaya for my birthday this year, so I stopped in recently. It's a little overwhelming because they have so many delicious looking things! The owner was there and he was super helpful - he gave lots of great recommendations and told me which were his favorites. I got a six piece bon bon and an ice cream sandwich. The bon bons are all so beautiful - like works of art and just as delicious as they are pretty! I was really impressed. The ice cream sandwiches are offered seasonally and I honestly didn't even know they had them - I got the basic B to try - brown butter chocolate chunk cookies with vanilla bean ice cream, dipped in dark chocolate. It was so good! The flavors may be "basic" but this ice cream sandwich is anything but - high quality ingredients and perfect textures make it a 10/10 for me. I actually went back inside after enjoying my sandwich and bought the Cardi B for Nate. I didn't think i'd like it as much because I'm not a huge fan of snickerdoodles or coffee, but it was AMAZING. The toffee flavor is a little strong but I loved it. I even went back a couple weeks later and bought more ice cream sandwiches - the John Lemon is fruity and delicious, with raspberry preserves and meringue in the filling. I thought it would be overly sweet, but it was definitely perfection. It's my favorite of the ones I've tried! I highly recommend Mokaya for all your chocolate needs. They rotate their flavors seasonally and often have delicious collections like beer or cocktail inspired truffles, as well as vegan options. Great place! read more

My friend got this little box of chocolate truffles for me as a gift! It was absolutely adorable and so delicious. It's nicely packaged and comes with a brochure to tell you what flavor everything is. The color of the truffles didn't match the picture exactly but figured out that it was the white chocolate ginger lime truffle and dark chocolate orange passion fruit truffle. Both were wonderful! It was just a small enough bite that satisfied your chocolate craving but now I definitely want to go back and try even more! I can't quite say how much it cost per item as it was a gift, but I definitely feel like it's going to be a worthwhile place to stop for a nice little treat. read more

This is such a delightful little chocolate shop! Plenty of parking in the back and among the street, aesthetically stunning chocolates and signage.

My family simply can't get enough Mokaya in our lives. It's our go-to for any celebrations that include exquisite, delicious desserts, as well as a great spot for gifts for chocolate lovers. On this chilly day in late December, we happily waited in line soon after opening to ensure that we'd be able to get our favorites. They tend to sell out quickly around the holidays! As always, each of our selections was absolutely delicious and looked beautiful on the serving platter (pictured). Here's what we chose: - Chocolate Fudge Cake (dark chocolate fudge cake covered in chocolate ganache topped with vanilla bean buttercream and garnished with pieces of dark chocolate), a big hit with several family members. Chocolate Tart (Ecuadorian dark chocolate center with toasted Italian meringue), fabulous every time. Lemon Tart (lemon curd center with Italian meringue), delicious and affectionately referred to as a "palate cleanser" in our family. Carrot Cake (layered thin bourbon carrot cake, milk chocolate walnut praline feuilletine, thin carrot cake, cream cheese mousse, vanilla ganache glaze, and cream cheese icing), unlike any traditional carrot cake, but very creative and delicious. Even the die-hard chocoholics in our family came back for seconds. Crème Brûlée (vanilla bean crème brûlée with caramelized sugar top), a classic forever family favorite. Since we were chilled from waiting outside, we ordered a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate (house-made hot chocolate mixed with salted caramel, and topped with salted caramel) to warm up - and it was DELICIOUS! Finally, our visit also included house-made truffles, bonbons, and a cocoa bomb to give as gifts. They're always a big hit with our recipients and are each a piece of art. In addition to their fabulous products, the staff could not be more wonderful to work with. They're consistently welcoming, helpful, kind, and appreciative, making me want to return and support this wonderful small family business in our community. read more

What can I say other than amazing chocolates! I was able to meet the general manager Max Golczynski, who is often in the store. The chocolates are a bit more expensive than your average chocolate purchases but for obvious reasons. They have numerous flavors and pastries for you to choose from. I couldn't believe all the different options, one of my favorite ones to try was Yuzu Lemongrass as Yuzu is my favorite type of citrus fruit. They have vegan options, wine truffle flights, and beer truffle flights. I couldn't decide so I just got a sampler and tried their mint patties. Obviously everything tastes homemade and is made with fresh ingredients. No corners are cut here. My only regret is eating almost all of the chocolates I got and forgetting to take a photo! They also have a cute little seating area in the back room, so you can enjoy your time there or get some to take home. I will 100% be coming back if I ever want to get special chocolates for my girlfriend, or a special occasion. Something that is also very sweet is they give you a little pamphlet of all the different truffles they sell, so you won't forget which one is which! Best chocolates you can get in Michigan. read more

Fantastic. These chocolates are extremely beautiful and delish. They make THEE best gifts. I recently stopped by for year end teacher gifts (and we've also purchased for bdays and welcome gifts). We got small boxes of 4 chocolates for $11 each. They come in pre-stamped paper boxes with ribbon tied - super cute. The designed are vibrant and unique. They also sell bags of other treats like bark as well as chocolate bars and some other dessert counter items. I also saw they have soft serve and ice cream coolers. They have street parking (meters) and are located just next door to Rowsters. There is some seating available as well if you want to sit and enjoy your treats there. The shop is very cute and instagram worthy. Highly recommend. read more

I was ecstatic that I was able to drive out west to visit this chocolate boutique shop. They definitely did not disappoint with their chocolate selection and the exceptional customer experience! Due to the holidays, they had some special hot cocoa bundles and orders where locals would order boxes of chocolates as gifts. It was really amazing to see how locals knew immediately what they needed to order! Their chocolate really stands out because of the unique flavors and the stunning presentation of each truffle piece. You will find flavors like orange blossom cardamom, strawberry lemonade balsamic caramel, and vanilla latte truffle. I topped that off with a Mexican hot cocoa and it was so delicious- decadent hot cocoa with a kick from the chili. Def warmed me up before heading back out in the cold. They also have chocolate dinner events in their shop so that is def on my to-do list very soon. Can't wait to return and try out the rest of their delicious menu! read more

Great service always. The best chocolate ever. The Mother's Day Cheesecake was the best i have ever had.

Came across this business on Instagram and thought I'd give it a try. I ordered through their website, which was so great because it was actually up to date with the in-store selection. Some of the items said Out of Stock, so I kind of trusted that what I was ordering would be in stock. Ordering was easy, I selected Curbside Pickup, and they sent me a very nice email letting me know it was ready. I called from my car when I arrived and they put it outside the door on a table, so it was 100% contactless! Then of course, everything we ordered was to die for. We got the chocolate fudge cake, chocolate cream dulce de leche, and the Italian meringue. The first two were very rich but that's what we like! Will definitely be back to try some of their other items. If you've been watching too much many baking shows recently like I have, this is the best way satisfy your sweet tooth. read more

Ummmm wow. This shop smells AWESOME. And it's very fancy. But the chocolate deserves the fancy, really. My cousin and I got a box of mixed truffles and some bags of bark for her party the next day. The truffles were all delicious and beautiful and fun! I really loved the marshmallow hedgehog. Plus the bark, yum! We got your traditional peppermint bark...which was so much better quality than other places. Plus we got strawberry pepita bark which was delicious. The dried strawberries added a lovely tartness. Yes it's pricey but our counterperson was knowledgeable and c'mon you're worth the expensive chocolate. read more

Stopped in to inquire about gifts. The guy that helped me was very kind and offered many ideas and a follow up email to help. I grabbed a box of the Beer City inspired chocolates and a Pecan Bourbon tart (i think?) and they were AMAZING. I literally had to stop myself from eating them all in one sitting! The prices reflect the quality - fair warning. SO worth it! Looking forward to a return trip! read more

I stumbled across this cute shop after trying the coffee next door in the summer and was immediately in awe of the aesthetics not only of the shop, but the pastries and chocolates as well.

The guy at the front counter was super helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend!! read more

We were given an awesome chocolate Easter gift from Mokaya and absolutely loved it. I can't comment on the store itself, but my wife and I loved our gift and how it contained multiple types of chocolate presented in creative ways with the bunny, carrots, and eggs. We can't wait to stop in and check out the store! read more

So to start off I wanna say, this is NOT cheap candy. I was was a bit taken back by the price for a dozen of truffles, but I thought, what the heck, why not... So I got a dozen of truffles and a creme brûlée and a pot de creme I believe. Everything is truly beautifully made and the creme brûlée was AMAZING!!! If I don't go back for the truffles, I will definitely make the trip for the creme brûlée. It was perfection, that's how much I loved it. My sister in law got the hot chocolate and she said it was really good, you can taste that it's made with REAL chocolate and not cheap watered down chocolate. (If that makes sense) The store was very simple and cute. And service was warm and welcoming. It's nice to have a shop like this near by. I say give this place a try, bring a few friends and just try some truffles or desserts. It's also nice to support local shops like this, you can tell the chocolatier(s) have passion and love what they do. read more

What a cute and beautifully laid out, yet minimalist space! I have been meaning to stop in here for some time now, but my lack of self-control has kept me away! This morning I decided to stop in after having brunch at Winchester knowing my stomach wouldn't control my inner deepest chocolate desires. We were greeted with a warm welcome, who I later found out was the owner and chocolatier. He gave us a tour, walked us through all the options and was extremely helpful with a great sense or positive energy and sense of humor. All of the truffles are showcased in amazing shapes and colors fitting perfectly to their name. I am definitely super curious about the 'beer flight' of 6 truffles made with local craft beer as a gift for a special craft beer lover or myself - who am I kidding! I did walk away with a box of vegan truffles and can't wait to sink my teeth into them. Of course, after I take a perfectly styled photo! read more
