As soon as you walk in, you're hit with the amazing scent of chocolate! Tabal has a fantastic selection of chocolate bars - from something you might expect to totally unique flavor combinations. Their chocolates make fantastic gifts, too. You'll also find some hand-dipped chocolates at the counter (the mint meltaways were so good!) and other chocolatey items, too. I've tried their Dubai chocolate and the gluten-free version of that, as well - super good! I'd love to take one if their classes sometime in the near future. The staff are aways very helpful and friendly. I make sure to stop in any time I'm in the Tosa Village. read more

Tabal Chocolate - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

I have been coming here for their hot chocolate and well crafted sweet treats. Today, it was for some last minute Christmas shopping. Instead of buying something that my family members will return or that will end up collecting dust in their basements, how about chocolate? Personally, I can't think of a better gift! They have a wide variety of chocolate in different forms. The only problem is deciding on what to get! Service is always friendly and helpful. There are a couple of tables inside if you want to stay and sip your hot chocolate. I will definitely be back. It might be sooner if I can remember whose gift I forgot to buy! read more

I was introduced to Tabal several years ago through a farmer's market, and since then we have visited the shop several times to stock up on their chocolate bars. Tabal carries a range of chocolate products- they have drinking chocolate, alcohol infusion kits, chocolate teas, dipped fruit, and even cacao mulch for your plants. And of course, there is a huge variety of chocolate bars. Aside from their chocolate bars, I particularly enjoyed the chocolate covered nuts and cacao nibs. Once you taste their chocolate, it will be hard to go back to big brand chocolate bars! Recently we attended their chocolate class, which runs about 2 hours. The owners were kind, and they were clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the chocolate making process. The class was informative, entertaining, and satisfying. You get to pour and decorate your own chocolate bars, as well as sample a bunch of their chocolates! The price is more than reasonable. Highly recommend this activity if you are a chocolate/food enthusiast, or if you're looking to change up your date nights! read more

The gal who helped me was very knowledgeable. I got to taste one before buying. They have some fun hot chocolate options too

The tour was fun and interesting, but my friend and I were shocked at how dirty the place was,

This place smells heavenly as soon as you walk in! The staff is super friendly and also very knowledgeable. They specialize in dark chocolate and really celebrating the cacao bean itself! They have big bags of cacao beans in the shop and also grinders to make the chocolate itself! Huckleberry dark chocolate was delicious. I also really like the Cinnamon Quinoa bar- it's like a dark rice krispies!! read more

Good choice for gifts, the chocolates are expensive but the prices are valid for the high quality. Maybe the best coffee mocha I've ever had, the barista is good and very pleasant. It's a nice place to sit and relax with an espresso drink. The one thing I don't like is that like all other coffee places they only serve in disposable cups with plastic lids. The coffee and ambiance are two thirds of the café experience, the important missing third is appropriate demi-tasse or espresso cups and saucers. read more

We attended their bean to bar chocolate class. It was an interesting learning experience with delicious samplings to take home. Their chocolate store has an amazing variety of wonderful products to buy. Matt was a fun and informed instructor. We will be back. read more

Tabal Chocolate is a classy little Chocolate store where all your dark chocolate dreams come true. I ordered the blood orange dark chocolate and it was delicious. Citrus flavors cuts down the bitterness of dark chocolate, rendering a smooth, fresh mouth feel. Tabal's commitment to using responsibly and sustainably grown cacao is commendable. I also learned that they use wholesome ingredients such as whole vanilla bean, pure cane sugar and cacao butter and that is awesome know that a local business makes clean, sustainable products. Looking forward to getting more chocolate in the near future. I highly recommend this business for all your chocolate cravings. read more

I was given three 70% Craft Dark Chocolate bars from Ali B the MKE Yelper back on 12Oct18 upon our first meeting in Seattle. He is very proud and passionate about all things Wisconsin. These were carefully stored at ambient temperature and shielded from light for a little over five months. On a rare Sunday at work (3/24/19), I decided to check these out, eating four squares from each bean to bar variety. Two each, pause, another two. All had perfect snap, no bloom, and lovely shine. Bolivia Alto Beni, batch 709, smooth and assertive, slight berry finish Dominican Oko Caribe, batch 673, milder, slight grassy finish Peru San Martin De Pangoa, batch N/A, more texture, middle of the three, slight peppery finish *Note: very subjective, the above were based solely on my palate sitting in front of a computer screen at my desk. No fancy controlled environments. Just a dark chocolate fan who happens to work as a QC microbiologist. I like the regions selected, but of the three the Bolivia Alto Beni edged out the other two. Thank you Ali B and Dan Bieser, Chocolate Maker at Tabal Chocolate. I truly appreciate the heart, soul, and effort to create these quality crafted chocolate bars.

Tabal Chocolate - The three bean to bar varieties given back on 10/12/18 and sampled today (3/24/19) - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

I know, five stars for chocolate. Daring today, aren't we? But even among chocolate stores, this is a five. I think only Scharffenberger in California is better. Not to throw shade on Indulgence, though, their great too. Apparently this is the only place in the county to make their chocolate from scratch on premises, which is worth it just for the smells, let alone the fresh, high quality chocolate. The selection of products is vast, from cocoa-husk tea to gelato to unsweetened hot chocolate. I wanted it all. The kids wanted almost as much. Especially loved that almost everything is vegan here, and if you have any questions everything is labeled. The staff is very helpful and patient, even with very excited kids. Free street parking, but I can see it filling up fast. There is also a single all-gender restroom for customers, too. This place deserves frequent visits. Go check them out! read more

I had the salted caramel hot chocolate with a shot of espresso. It was good, however, I am not vegan so I am comparing this type of drink with a non-vegan drink, in which case this drink was good but I still prefer a traditional hot chocolate mocha with non-vegan ingredients. The lady making my drink was very sweet but she took a long time to make the drink. If you are looking for a quick place to buy chocolate or get a vegan beverage then this place is not for you; however, if you have time then you may enjoy this place more than me, as I was in a rush and just wanted to stop in and try something new. I'm glad I got the chance, however I am not sure I would stop by again. read more

This place is terrible! The gelato was flavorless. The Latte was extremely watered down. Please dont call yourself an espresso cafe when using a Breville machine! I have the same one at home and could have made a better latte. What a waste of $20! read more

Really wholesome shop ran by people who love and breathe chocolate. Chocolate has been ruined for me by these guys and they really opened the world to show me how much depth and variations chocolate has. They opened their door to us even after closing and was so passionate in explaining their chocolates without pretension. You can see the bean to bar process all at the store. It doesn't get better than this in Milwaukee. read more

Incredible craft chocolatier ~ I couldn't be more thrilled with this place! Not only was staff friendly and helpful, they managed to help me when I needed a birthday gift for my 93 year old Great Aunt! As I live in Lake Tahoe, I couldn't visit the store in person but that was not an issue! I ordered online....They even wrote out the card with our message and names and delivered the little care package to her in Wauwatosa. She was so surprised and happy! Needless to say it's been a Great experience! read more

Their chocolates are so darn good here. They are the only chocolatier in Milwaukee and make all their chocolates in house from beans sourced from all over the world. You can sample the many delicious chocolates they make--my favorite is the Blueberry Rooibos. Highly recommend visiting and picking up their homemade treats. read more

Amazing amazing amazing! Milwaukee's only artisan chocolate maker is well worth checking out. There are many chocolatiers and candy makers in town, but Tabal gets beans directly from Central American farmers and grinds them right on the premises -- a fascinating process that takes three days to grind the beans into a silky brown sauce. Naturally there are spectacular handmade chocolates for sale, but there's also a great emphasis on education, with lots of tasty samples and opportunities for hands on experiences and classes. It's a welcome addition to Tosa's newly revived village. read more

As soon as the door starts to open, you can smell amazing, hard core chocolate goodness. Wow. Specialty organic chocolate shop that cares about people and the environment. They actually make chocolate on site. They love to teach so ask a lot of questions. Shop just opened this past Friday. The interior will be receiving more updates but it's cute as is. Wonderful addition to the Tosa Village. Stop in for great chocolate, friendly service and an interesting lessons about the creation of chocolate. They also carry cacao nibs. read more

Amazing rich dark chocolate. I was really impressed with this store with the single origin chocolates. A great place to buy gifts or try out something new in chocolate. They have liquid chocolate drinks and even samples so you know what you are getting! The salesman, David, was awesome with explaining the different chocolates and guiding my friend and I through the different tastes. Very high end and luxurious. A fun place to go in Tosa and try something new! Definitely will be back to try even more! read more

You have your cheap a$$ Hershey, Mars, and generic artificial trans fat packing chocolate and then you have true artisan chocolate that is enriched with a true chocolate experience directly provided by the owner and their shop.

Tabal Chocolate - My chocolate fix for the week - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

World class chocolatier. Period. No skimping, no shortcuts, no filler ingredients. They grind their cocoa for 72 hours straight to ensure it's smoothy deliciousness. I'm a certified chocoholic who has been lucky enough to taste it all over the planet. Tabal is legit. I've never tasted 75%+ cacao that was so delicious...let alone a 100% cacao that doesn't send me running for the water fountain. A mocha, prepared by a lovely and knowledgable young woman at the counter, placed top 1 or 2 in my life! And I'm really friggin' old!! It rivaled one memorable cafe' served to me in Paris about 100 years ago. If you like chocolate, Tabal is not to be missed. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled onto these folks, and I wish them well with their killer handcraft chocolate business. read more

Spectacular dark chocolate. Made right there in the shop! Only bean to bar chocolate in Milwaukee. You can try before you buy! Go.

This place is super cool. The only store in Milwaukee making chocolate. Check it out, you wont be disappointed!

After walking by this quaint shop for a year, I finally stopped in and am I ever glad I did!! What a wonderful store. The quality of their chocolate seemed top notch! I'm no pro, but the fact that they know the source of each of their chocolates, and have a cooperative relationship with a local gelato producer (and they carry their wonderful gelato) tells me that this place is for real. Also--they have 100% dark chocolate! 100%!! Smooth, bitter goodness. The only reason I gave four stars is because they serve their gelato in styrofoam :( a place this wonderful can do better for our environment. Otherwise, a fabulous place that I would like to visit more often. read more

Very unique place. Very limited selection. This isn't a hershy bar type of place and never tasted chocolate like this anywhere else in this country. Smell is intoxicating when in process of making a batch. read more

The gelato is very good. They don't have a large variety of options and the chocolate is very bitter. Overall, very good.
