I am addicted to their chaco popcorn, and the cortez bar, andddddd the chocolate y maiz, anddddd that other one with the pinon in it. Nowadays, I can't imagine anyone not wanting to support local chocolatiers with all the FAKE CHOCOLATE being sold just about everywhere....spoil yourself, go for the good stuff! And gifting it is a joy... read more

Theobroma Chocolatier - Candy Stores Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Great selection and very good dark chocolate. A go to for quality chocolate. A neighborhood treasure!

Got the small Dubai chocolate bar. It's shaped more like fudge than a bar. But oh so good! 13 dollars but Dubai chocolate is always pricey. The bigger bar is 27 bucks. They do not skimp on the pistachio butter! read more

I inhaled the chocolate too fast to post a picture ‍. Sorry, not sorry. I had a milk chocolate truffle and a sunflower milk chocolate "lollipop". Literally ate them both before I was out of the parking lot. Went in to place special order for a later pick up. The lovely lady who I placed the order with was awesome! I'm so excited to come back and pick it up. Small warning. The minute you open the door to the business- you will be treated with the beautiful smell of all things chocolate. It's heaven. You've been warned. read more

I've been here a few times now- mostly to get chocolate covered strawberries and sometimes as gifts. They are a small shop, but have plenty to choose from. The strawberries were tasty and fresh. At $19 for half a dozen strawberries, it can get a little pricey. We got the dark chocolate and they even gift wrapped the box for us for Valentine's Day. Parking is easy and they do call ahead orders. 2023 #3 read more

Theobroma Chocolatier - a box of chocolate covered strawberries - Candy Stores Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Got these bonbons as a gift! They're a milk chocolate and dark chocolate variety, but with the fillings are random. Wish they had a description of the flavors somewhere. Some are fruity and others caramel. They're very pretty to look at too! read more

Theobroma Chocolatier - a box of chocolates - Candy Stores Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Small shop but plenty of options. I stopped in to purchase chocolates for a family member who was having a birthday. He loves dark chocolate. Empty packages are on display unless it's inside the glass display cases. Pick what you want outside the case and the salesperson will grab your items from the stock in the back. Really nice packaging. Prices are in line with other chocolate shops. I bought a small box of chocolates for myself as well and loved them. I will be back. read more

I'm dropping one star from my original review due to an overall upping of the chocolate game in Albuquerque, and some less than stellar interactions with employees. This remains a very good chocolatier, with all of the hallmarks that make me want to support them: it's a small shop, the truffles are appealing to look at and satisfy your cocoa craving, anticipate good gift buying, if that's what you're looking for. About a year back, another competitor opened their doors in the north valley, a bean to bar operation that's producing world class product, and I'd love to see their presence elevate the overall chocolate game, city-wide. Until then, I'll consider Theobroma a good option during the holidays, they're very, very festive. And when I'm in the neighborhood, hey, there's always a reason to support local dark (70%+) chocolate. Hey, it's good for you! read more

The best chocolate! It's local and delicious. They have variety boxes, seasonal chocolates, and a wonderful display to choose from. It's worth the drive to pick up chocolate for special occasions. read more

I have finally found a chocolate shop equivalent to the best ones in Europe! Not only is the chocolate beautiful but also DELICIOUS!

At Theobroma, it's always Valentine's Day! I've been to this cute, local chocolatier several times and am impressed each time I enter the door. The smell of freshly made chocolate fills the place with memories of being a kid. Yesterday I went in for some special Valentine treats for my hubs and son. The owner was there and was friendly. He gave me several samples that were so delicious my eyes were watering. They have everything you could ever want in a local chocolate store. From dark or milk chocolate dipped Oreos to solid chocolate "Aspirin" pills, truffles, chocolate covered popcorn, chocolate covered sea salt caramels, and chocolate dipped strawberries. They have super cute cars, cell phones, or other special, fun designs made from solid chocolate. They also had a plethora of Valentine gifts, boxed chocolates, and foiled hearts. Don't miss out on this adorable shop. Do yourself a favor and try the Cortez Crunch which is now my favorite. It's a bar shaped piece of heaven with milk and dark chocolates, caramel, and a chocolate cookie base. Just delicious!! read more

I love Theobroma! Every time I go there I am greeted warmly and free samples are always available. They have the best selection of chocolates anywhere and they are absolutely fabulous. So many gift options are available too from special interests, to things kids would like to mixed boxes of chocolates that you put together yourself. I hope to make this place a monthly (weekly?) ritual. I highly recommend Theobroma for all your chocolate! read more

Life is like a box of chocolates, but at Theobrama you know what you're gonna get--excellence. This Chocolatier provides the best chocolate I've ever indulged in. This is saying a lot because I love chocolate as much as a fat kid loves cake (maybe more). I consider myself a specialist in regards to knowing the difference between a Russel Stover and a See's chocolate. Every V-day I ask for nothing but a box of chocolates from here and this year my wish finally came true. I savored each piece and I have to say enjoyed each bite more than I probably should have. Not only were they good but every piece was so artful. (see photo) It's a very small place but what they do, they do exceptionally well. If you're a chocolate snob like me you need to come here and bask in the glory of chocolate genius. It's pricey but in my opinion, it's worth it's weight in gold. read more

Theobroma Chocolatier - Chocolate of the Gods. Beautiful and delicious! - Candy Stores Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Velvety soft chocolate is the most delicious tasting delicacy. The pecan turtles are to die for!

Chocolate is on a different level. Staff always helpful with special request. Great place for last minute gifts too!

Amazing experience! I highly recommend! Called to inquire about chocolate covered strawberries for my wife's birthday. Worker made sure when I would be arriving to ensure that strawberries were freshly dipped. Arrived order was ready at the counter staff was extremely nice and helpful as I picked up a few more treats from the shop. Will be going back soon. Please visit. Great customer service and the strawberries and chocolate were amazing. read more

You are missing out of you have not had the chocolate here. It is delicious. It is my go to for Valentine's Day or just because chocolate. Sometimes I even stop by for an Oreo because I like to support a local business. A former employee bought it from the old owner so he could enjoy retirement and she has an unrivaled passion to continue the legacy. I hope this place is here forever. read more

The chocolate in this tiny little artisanal shop is melt-in-your-mouth outstanding - really high quality and delicious. If you're a chocoholic or chocolate connisseur, you will appreciate what they have to offer. It's pricey but worth it. Makes a much-appreciated gift, too, especially the beautiful little truffles which they offer in more than a dozen different flavors. They also make absolutely perfect chocolate strawberries. They have shelves covering every wall with nearly every size and shape of chocolate, it kind of makes it hard to pick! The first time I went in, I got just one little bar and a single truffle. They were both so fantastic that it's now my go-to place for the best chocolate when I need to satisfy my chocolate craving. read more

Theobroma Chocolatier - One of their beautiful milk chocolate marshmallows - Candy Stores Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Beautiful truffles of a wide variety, and the chocolate is well made, not overly sweet and nicely textured. The flavours of truffles aren't too strong, tasting more like chocolate than the desired flavor. Samples are offered as soon as you walk in and prices are very reasonable. You can tell it's a family owned business with small production but good care. Definitely a great place to find quick chocolate gifts. read more

Theobroma Chocolatier - Candy Stores Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I found this candy store in a search for Taos Cow Ice cream (which outside of Arroyo Seco) is difficult to locate. This store has a selection of 8 or so flavors of this gourmet ice cream including some of their best and most creative flavors. Once inside the store, it was clearly identifiable as a true chocolate candy kitchen. It was remarkably clean and well organized with carefully presented chocolates and a sample of a couple of their signature items was available. The chocolates that I selected (in addition to several containers of ice cream) were very good, comparable with Godiva for example but could not rate 5 stars due to the limited selection and lack of creative choices. The best items that I had were the chocolate covered, cararmel pretzel rods. Another criticism of this place would be the high prices. The chocolates clearly are good enough to warrant a high price but a shop like this in an out of the way location that is attempting to establish itself probably should price their items at least 25% lower, or alternatively sell some of their items as "seconds" without the fancy packaging to encourage visitors to eat the chocolate. As it is, their items appear to be set up to give as gifts. read more

Found this amazing chocolate shop 24 years ago and I love everything about it... the service the quality... simply the best. Highly recommend this business all year round not just Easter read more

I can't believe I haven't been here! Their chocolates are decadent and very pretty. Personally, I like truffles more. I bought them out of the display since fancy packaging wasn't required (they didn't make it home!). I liked the creme brûlée best. Go there, you will thank yourself for it. read more

Theobroma Chocolatier - Truffles and soft center chocolates: champagne, Irish cream, strawberry cheesecake, and creme brûlée. - Candy Stores Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Owner does not wash his hands after going to the restroom. Floor in work room is nasty dirty. Employee can't say last time it was mopped. Saw employee knock chocolate on floor and owner tell them to pick up and place on tray to be packaged. read more

This is my favorite chocolate store in ABQ, NM! You just can't find chocolates better anywhere. I'm a dark chocolate lover, and theirs is the best flavor. They have such a nice assortment of chocolates too along with some amazing 3D pieces I've never seen anywhere else. They even have Taos Cow ice cream and sometimes decadent chocolate torte cakes and strawberries. Mmmm! You will not regret coming in to try some. They have free samples too! read more

I'm sorry Chocolate Cartel for straying - just wanted to give another local chocolate place a chance this year. Went in here the day before Valentine's to pick up some stuff for my sweetie. From the moment I walked in the door, there was little regard for my business. While waiting patiently to ask questions, the person I presume to be the owner was waaaay too busy talking football (he really likes the Chiefs, btw). The young girl behind the counter was too annoyed with my presence to smile or say thanks. And before you say they musta been busy on 2/13 - they weren't. In fact they were slow enough to spend a ton of time talking football. And the chocolates? Meh, garden variety, dime a dozen cacao products. There are way better chocolatiers in ABQ. read more

Excellent chocolates, beautiful gifts and one of my must stops for holiday gifts - birthdays, Valentine's, Christmas etc. Been going here for many years, but this will be the last. I had made all my holiday selections and the owner rang them up. I presented my ABQ Journal Press Pass for discount and he flipped out! Said that even though he advertises on press pass, he hasn't given that discount in a very long time. He said if he gave discounts to everyone who had a press pass, he might as well stick a sign in the window saying "everything 20% off". He is generally a jolly old guy, but this holiday season he lost my business as we as any in the future. The 2 stars are for the chocolates, 0 stars for owner/management. read more

Best. Chocolate. Ever. Seriously. I don't even particularly LIKE chocolate. But when a classmate of mine brought some samples to campus one day, I fell in love. And when I bought a box for my grandma's 99th birthday, she said it was the best chocolate she's ever had. That's 99 loooooong chocolate-eating years, people. And she said Theobroma's is the best she's ever had. And she wasn't just saying that to be nice -- trust me on this one. Same feedback from my uncle, who couldn't help but sneak into the aforementioned box of chocolate and steal some pieces away before Grandma noticed. He, too, said it's the best he's ever had, and this is coming from a man who knows his chocolate. The taste is more than enough reason to go with Theobroma's, but I also have to mention how dang beautiful they are. The chocolates are like little pieces of art, and the gold box (some of) the assortments come in is tres art nouveau. Makes for a beautiful gift for a loved one -- or for your own beloved self. Enjoy! read more

YUM! good real chocolate is hard to find and this stuff is real! The place is very clean and the people are delightful. One lady who works there helped me find exactly the right chocolate for my friend who just got out of surgery (a cute chocolate "asprin"), I think her name was Claudia. I am new to the area but this is the best place I have found and I am definitely coming back! read more

Wow - just wow. These folks are fantastic. I placed an order for some Albuquerque folks from out of state and they made it all happen perfectly! Incredibly friendly and wonderful service! read more

Awesome little shop. Chuck was very helpful and friendly. Made us feel welcome. Great selection and very delicious. The chocolate y maiz was a great treat. Make sure to try one! I highly recommend this shop to anyone in the area! read more
