Romanicos Chocolate — Attraction in Miami

My brother is trying to learn how to make chocolate for a new business idea he has. He's been playing with molds, tempering and even trying to ship chocolate from Florida without it melting before it arrives at it's destination. He spends a lot of time researching and watching videos, but they just weren't enough for him to get things right. I suggested taking a chocolate making class and offered to go with him. I am so glad I did! We live in Boca Raton, and drove to Miami to take a class with Maria Alejandra, the founder and owner of Romanicos Chocolate. We were upfront about our intention for being in the class and Maria Alejandra was incredibly gracious and helpful! She taught us the history of chocolate and had us taste the difference between 60% chocolate from Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. We learned how to temper chocolate and how to tell if chocolate has been tempered or not. And then we got to play with chocolate and build these cute houses. When the class was over, Maria Alejandra showed us around the kitchen, and explained to my brother about the machinery, molds and how to ship chocolate. We also got a bunch of very delicious chocolates to take home. She went above and beyond to help a fledgling business owner learn the basics of his business and for that I am forever grateful. Romanicos Chocolate is absolutely delicious and Maria Alejandra is a very special person. Thank you for the education and...

Great option for chocolate gifts with a touch of Miami flair.

On our last day in Miami, I was on the hunt for gifts for my colleagues. With iconic brands and shops being scarce, we turned our attention to local chocolate shops that captured the Miami vibe. Romanicos Chocolate had gift boxes within my planned budget, so I decided to check it out. The shop was small and charming, seemingly family-operated. The chocolate bonbons on display looked fantastic, and I was thrilled to discover their tropical and Latin American flavors like Coconut, Dulce de Leche, and Cayenne pepper.

I ended up getting eight boxes of nine chocolate bonbons each ($20). While waiting for the lady to pack the boxes, we were each offered a chocolate truffle and a free sample of one of the bonbons. I was most excited for the Dulce de Leche, but it tasted like a regular milk chocolate bonbon. However, other flavors like Passion Fruit and Key Lime were great. They also had the viral “Dubai” chocolate at the counter, and I got to try it for the first time.

The bonbons are slightly cheaper without the gift boxes, so even if you’re not shopping for gifts, I highly recommend...

I was grieving the lost of my mother so my boyfriend decided to surprise me with my favorite desert and send chocolates to lift my spirits . I missed the delivery at my office (4 miles away) so I called to arrange to pick up the gift myself as the business is OLNY 3 MILES away from my home.The owner asked me for address and said she will deliver after 5pm. After i spoke with her She then called my bf to get over on him and made him pay an extra $20 fee to deliver a $30 box of. She told him the address was further the the original delivery , which is untrue ! Not to mention i was on my way to pick up the gift myself. This is horrible customer service we will never support this company again . She personally delivered the Chocolate's in a 0.10 cent cheap bag and she left at my concierge and not at my door step after forcing him to pay $20 . This is horrible customer service we will never support this company again . I don’t suppory companies that scheme and get over on men trying to do something nice for their loved ones. Have some integrity and buy nice bags when charging $20 delivery fees for...
