I stop by at this cute shop in Krog street market during my trip to Atlanta. It was super cold outside so I was craving a cup of something warm and rich without completely filling up before dinner. The Mexican spice sipping chocolate was rich, sweet with a bit of a kick and was perfect for what I needed. The woman at the counter was knowledgeable and helped me decide what to try. The drink was ready within 10 minutes. Would definitely recommend! read more

Located in Krog Market. We stopped in to try samples and also ended up purchasing chocolate. Staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the products. We ended up sampling the various chocolate flavors. I liked the GA boy bar which had pieces of biscotti!! I also bought some of the almond butter cups and white chocolate peppermint balls. Everything was delicious! read more

I'm not a huge chocolate fan. I don't typically eat chocolate unless it's mixed with something, and I certainly never eat dark chocolate. Well that might change after indulging at Xocolati. Their chocolate was smooth and creamy. The crunch bar was a fav! read more

I left a bit of a rave for Xocolatl in my review of Krog Street Market but I had to come here to give them their flowers, too! My husband and I had dinner at the market and, afterwards, were in the mood for dessert. It was right before the holidays and during this time I try to have hot cocoa running through my veins so we stopped at Xocolatl for a cup of their drinking chocolate and OH MY GOD. It was vegan, prepared with coconut milk and a spiced vanilla sugar, I think? My husband was obsessed. I mean, OBSESSED. Our entire walk back to our AirbnB he was raving, "damn, this is maybe the best hot cocoa I've ever had. Oh my god it's so good, I can't believe it! etc etc etc." I'm not exaggerating, the full 10 minute walk back home be was freaking out. Now, don't get me wrong, I also really really loved it, but this guy? It was another level. We liked it so much that before our return home later that week we came back (literally on our way to the airport) to get a bag to go. When I came in the fella who had helped us the few days before remembered me and was so kind checking me out and giving me the scoop on their business and the products on their website. Which mean that when we ran out of that incredible cocoa at home? We ordered some online. Truly aces. Can't wait to visit them again next time we're in town! read more

I was walking by Xocolatl Small Batch Chocolate's stall at Kroger Street Market yesterday, and one of the employees at the counter caught my attention by telling me, "We have free samples!" Ok, lady, you now have my full attention! I got closer to the counter and asked the employee, "Ok, what do you have? My favorite is dark chocolate." Well, as luck would have it, Xocolatl actually has dark chocolate in most of its candy products! She asked if I wanted to try a sample of San Martin de Pangoa, Peru (I think), and of course I couldn't turn that offer down. She used a pair of tongs to pull a little chocolate square out of a big jar, and put the chocolate in my hand. As I slowly chewed it and swirled it around in my mouth, I first got a mild dark chocolate flavor, just a teeny tiny bit of sweetness. After getting past the slightly waxy texture, which made it seem like I had to chew for longer than expected, it was fine until I started tasting the bitter notes of cacao, which got even stronger as I kept chewing. No, this one was definitely not for me. I then was given a sample of Kissed Mermaids, which has coconut, cacao, vanilla and salt with coconut milk dark chocolate. I loved the slight crunchy textures in the chocolate, but this chocolate was still too bitter for me, and I didn't like the slightly waxy texture. I tried the peppermint bark currently on sale, but that tasted more like the dark chocolate than peppermint, and I prefer to have a strong peppermint flavor hit me in the mouth. I thanked the very positive and knowledgeable employee who provided great customer service. I told her that I would have to think about these chocolates before buying them, so I left without a purchase. I know hard core fans of dark chocolate and cacao will love Xocolatl. read more

Wow, what a terrific staff! Delightful chocolates and a warm, sincere staff make Xocolatl hard to beat. Treat yourself. You'll be glad you did! read more

Went here earlier today. The man working the counter was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about chocolate, so that certainly helped with the education process in terms of learning about all the options. It seems like Xocolatl's specialty is dark chocolate. There are some really unique flavors that represent standalone chocolate plus some that have other elements in them. I liked the Uganda, Peru, and Go Nuts bars, though all of them were awesome in their own way. It's great that you can try samples to see which ones you might enjoy. There are also various items on the shelves, like chocolate bars from other brands and cocoa powder, nibs, hazelnut spread, etc. They're somewhat expensive, but the ingredients are high quality without any annoying preservatives. read more

My partner stopped by after lunch at Krog to grab a cacao cold brew. When they were out of cold brew Therea offered us some free chocolates to make up for it. You could tell how much passion she had for her craft just from talking about the chocolate, and especially from eating it. Incredible friendly service! Highly recommend :) read more

Geez, I HATE to give a chocolate maker a bad review, but here it is. Understand that I know a fair amount about chocolate. I've made many batches myself, and I have a palate that gets sought out for its opinion by other makers and connoisseurs. So, that's where I am coming from. I tried Xocolatl for the first time around two years ago. My impression was their chocolate was similar to many other early stage craft chocolate makers. That is, the texture tended toward the pasty and gummy, and the taste was a bit too acidic and tannic. Both of these are usually processing flaws in the chocolate makers processes (they can also be from poor bean quality in the way beans are processed at the plantation, but that's not the case here). I wasn't impressed. So, I find myself in Atlanta two years later, and I had to try them again. My hope was they would have learned and progressed in that two years and would have fixed these process flaws. No such luck. Same "beginner grade" craft chocolate, and it's just not good. Same pasty to gummy texture. Same unpleasant acidity. They have many inclusion bars (chocolate with things with different flavors/textures added). I am pretty adamant that the base chocolate meet a minimum bar before I am interested in inclusions made from the same base chocolate. So, that means I didn't try the inclusions on this second visit (I did on the first visit and wasn't impressed--when the underlying chocolate isn't up to snuff, then inclusions just party hide flaws). I hope they step up their game and improve their processes. Until then, I won't be returning. Sad. read more

I was in the middle for Mexican hot chocolate and Xocolatl came up. I took the kids with me and we were blown away by the quality of the chocolate. The hot chocolate was mind blowing and the chocolate was some of the best I've ever had. Go it's worth the trip! read more

We found this fun shop during our latest Krog Street Market crawl. There is a massive and epic variety of chocolate available here, and they were offering free samples. The staff working during our visit were super knowledgeable and also friendly. I ended up trying the drinking chocolate because it was within my budget at $3.50 even though paying that for 4 ounces seemed slightly unhinged. This chocolate was super rich! I couldn't have done more than four ounces, it was so rich. It was soooo good, though. The prices are a bit dear for product, but this isn't Snickers or Swiss Miss, either. If you are in the market for a wide selection of items for an after meal treat that is locally owned, this is your place. read more

Xocolatl Chocolate - Drinking chocolate?! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I saw a documentary featuring the Xocolatl owners, which made me look them up and order samples. So, this review is for that experience only. I've never been to the actual store. First, it's expensive at $9.50/bar, so either accept that or move on. I got the Kissed Mermaids, Go Nuts (favorite) and the Madagascar (which was shockingly fruity). What I like most about Xocolatl is their process--they work with cacao farmers around the world using methods that yield the highest quality craft, small batch chocolate. And they pay the farmers what it's worth! That's why we pay $9.50 for a bar of their chocolate. AND everything is made on-site. The bars are even hand-wrapped with beautiful foil and heavy paper. Xocolatl on a regular basis would be indulgent, but for the special occasion, definitely. And when next in ATL, I'd definitely stop in to try other things. read more

The Love & Happiness dark chocolate with blood orange olive oil and raspberries is phenomenal and probably one of the best bites of chocolate ever. Rich intensity of the small batch chocolate is balanced perfectly by the bright, tart, fruity dried raspberry. I got these as heart shaped bites for Galentine's Day but they are sold year round as bars as well. Xocolatl also features other small batch producers from around the world in their wonderful shelf inside Krog Street Market. Years ago they were the only known purveyor in Atlanta to carry my fav Vietnamese small batch chocolate, Marou. This visit they had Chai Masala bars by French Broad made with Spicewalla spices, and a lychee rose bar by Fossa. They also offer hot cocoa bombs too in original and Salted Caramel. Love the chocolate discoveries on every visit! read more

Gosh I love this pricey and delicious chocolate place. The store offers small free samples. Though they may be small they are mighty. This chocolate is strong and awesome. The one thing I keep coming back for is the chocolate shake with coconut milk. It's creamy and flavorful and delicious. Not cheap but great quality. read more

This is possibly the best Chocolate you can find in ATL. First off the location is everything, this store is located in Krog Street Market. The store is very well decorated with more than just chocolate available. When it comes to flavors you have several to pick from. We decided to try the Blood Orange & Raspberry, and it did not disappoint. It was one of the most flavorful chocolate bars I have had in a long time. I'm glad I found this GEM because this is my new go to when it comes to Chocolate. Not to mention all their chocolate is vegan! read more

This place is located inside of Krog street market! It's hard to find parking here so it's best to bike or take an Uber. There is street parking if you're lucky to find one. I got the frozen chocolate which was really delicious! It was $6.00 and def worth it if you're into chocolate. Very rich in chocolate flavor as if you're biting into real cacao bar. With that, a slight bitter chocolate taste yet sweet. A very good balance actually! Because I don't like the real chocolate bitter taste that much so it was a bitterness that I could handle. read more

Xocolatl Chocolate - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I swung by this sweets stall in Krog Street to pick up a few chocolate bars as gifts, but my friend and I actually ended doing a sort of impromptu tasting after one of their affable employees sporting a septum ring asked if we wanted to try anything. They sure are generous with the samples! If I hadn't planned on making a purchase anyway, I definitely would've been after being showered with cocoa products. You got me, Xocolatl. We tried the following dark choices: Magnifimint (peppermint), Soul Rebel (coconut milk, jerk spices), Kissed Mermaids (coconut milk, sea salt, cacao nibs), Nicaragua (72% dark chocolate), and Americana (apple pie). The Wide Eyed (coffee & espresso) sounded right up my alley but I didn't get to eat that one. The Soul Rebel definitely got us talking, what a unique offering. Kissed Mermaids is one of Xocolatl's top sellers. The two of us also enjoyed a small cup of the cacao tea (not sure which one it was) and later regretted not buying the tea. If you like tea and chocolate, this elixir is perfect. I feel a return trip to Xocolatl to pick up cacao tea is in my future. The plain chocolate bars are $9 and the ones with mix-ins are $9.50. Okay, so a little expensive. But if you buy three, you can get a discount; I paid $27 for three Nicaraguas. The guy even wrapped a silver ribbon around the chocolates since I said they were a gift. My friend went home with a new pal, a bar of Kissed Mermaids. Xocolatl also offers tours of their microfactory. Visit their website for more info. Cool local business! read more

Sometimes you get what you pay for. In my case, I paid for an $11 candy bar. So was it amazing?? Well, my mom thought so! I paid Xocolatl Small Batch Chocolates because I needed a mother's day gift and was fresh out of ideas. Xocolatl (pronounced chock-oh-lah-tul) had plenty of ideas though, and so I bought one of their packages that included two chocolate bars (kissed mermaids dark chocolate), a bag of hot chocolate, a cup, a jar of honey, a cocoa tea, and a tea strainer, all for $46 My mom actually thought the two bars were too bitter, so I went back a couple days later and picked up two more milk chocolate bars, ranging in price from $7 to $11. She LOVED the replacement bars, and I inherited the dark chocolate. I thought the dark chocolate was of definite high quality, smooth and came complete with little chocolate crunchy chunks, that kept it sweet enough for me, though my mom was right...if you have a sweet tooth and aren't a dark chocolate fan, you probably wont like this. Customer service is excellent, helpful, and always great with suggestions, but like I said earlier, you get what you pay for, and these ain't your 3 for 1 Hershey bars Located in the Krog Street, there's no seating at the shop, but do you need seating for chocolate? If so, there's common areas to sit. Parking can be tight and hard to find...especially free parking. I typically park on the street a few streets over and walk my way down, or park near the highland bakery area and walk the few minutes along the beltline to get to Krog. If you want to pay for parking however, there's a couple of lots directly across the street for your convenience pleasure. I enjoyed Xocolatl, and while I wouldn't make this a regular occurance due to the price, I could see myself getting a gift for someone special, even if it's a small treat for myself.

Xocolatl Chocolate - Frozen hot chocolate with coconut whipped cream - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Not what I expected.. really! I thought this place was going to be one of those chocolate let downs.. but to my surprise it wasn't! All the chocolate is made 100% organic isn't that sweet?! Also all the chocolate has its unique flavor. The owner of this chocolate shop let my sister, Crystal H and I try a few of their chocolate flavors which were Madagascar and Soul Rebel. Madagascar - had a slight dark chocolate flavor but had a bit of vanilla flavor to it I should have gotten this one.. because it was the one I tried first.. I should have followed my instincts.. but noooo I wanted to be adventurous and try out Americana and I didn't even try it at the time.. ugh.. Soul Rebel - tasted good at first, then comes the spiciness to the chocolate bar; THAT! My dear Yelpers were the after taste of the spices (not my kind of chocolate.. I am not a fan of this spicy chocolate and my taste buds feel all funny-like.. hard to describe..) But it was a good thing I tried it! YOLO! lol In the end, I ended up buying the Americana which was infused with apple, vanilla & pie spices.. ok ok.. the only reason why I got this one was because the owner told me that it tasted like apple pie and chocolate infused together. Americana Apple, Vanilla & Pie Spices ($9.50) When I got home, I tried it and I'd give the chocolate 2/5 stars only because it tasted nothing like apple pie chocolate. I tasted bits of apple and spices but the chocolate itself wasn't what I was expecting it to be.. it was dark chocolate and I'm not of fan of dark chocolate. So maybe not for me and someone else who enjoy eating dark chocolate might have enjoyed it but not for me.. I do like how the chocolate has a cute cover and the chocolate bar itself has a cute design on it. Wish that the chocolate bars weren't priced so high, though.. they're pretty much like regular sized chocolate bar.. only difference was that they're homemade. I get my chocolate bars from Godiva and their bars are a lot bigger for the price ($10 ea). The customer service was ok. I don't want to go into detail on this (if you want to know, then you can message me but I don't feel like it's necessary to add it to my review.. only because I don't know.. that's how I felt about the whole service and I don't want to offend anybody). Overall, for my first visit, I would come back and try the other flavored chocolate or maybe I'll just get the regular (normal) flavored ones instead. read more

Xocolatl Chocolate - Missed Mermaids Chocolate Bar - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Is this Willy Wonka's chocolate factory in real life!? $9 for a bar of chocolate is pretty pricey for me. But! The flavor, the flavor! I did not come to Krog Street looking for Chocolate. But, chocolate found me. We, me and my sis, were here for a free beer and cookie pairing at HopCity. After, I was hungry so we explored Krog Street. Then a kind vendor asked if we wanted to sample some chocolate. Yes! Yes we will try your dark chocolate magic. They had several chocolates for us to sample. But, only 2 peaked my interest: Soul Rebel and Americana Americana - Dark coconut milk chocolate with spices. starts off like your basic chocolate, finishes like apple pie. Soul Rebel - Dark coconut milk chocolate with Jamaican jerk spices. Creamy dark chocolate with a sneaky, spicy, finish. Take small bites, that spice will jump up and bite back. Loved this one! Some cool things about xcolatl: - they offer free samples - it's dairy free - they offer tours and tastings I definitely want to do their tour and tasting, you also get wine :) If you love dark chocolate and unique flavors you'll love xocolatl. read more

Xocolatl is located in Krog Street Market. They are local chocolate shop and are great if you are looking for gifts. Each bar is $9 or you can get a Trio (any 3) for $25.

Xocolatl Chocolate - Tasted like cherry - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Xocolatl sells very good chocolate, but the quality doesnt justify the $9/bar price tag. They offer chocolate tastings, which are wonderful as you walk around Krog city market. They have a lot invested in marketing, chocolate spinning in the background, chocolatiers visible in back of the small store.. as an example. The show makes one expect something heavenly during the tasting. Instead, it put me into a chocolate purgatory, trying one or another looking for that one that I thought would awe me. After trying a few, i never reached the pearly gates chocolate nirvana that I was hoping for. It reminded a lot of a wine tasting at one of the Mondavi wineries. They are, however, well worth visiting. Xocolatl has scored some Good Food awards. Some love it. Some, like me, like it, but not enough to dish out $9/bar. read more

My best friend got a few for me when he was in Atlanta. Kissed Mermaids, Love and Happiness and Go Nuts! We both loved them all .
