Mamá Pacha Chocolate — Restaurant in Oaxaca

After seeing their chocolates stocked in a few shops, we thought we’d pay this place a visit and buy straight from the producer. We weren’t disappointed: artisanal bean-to-bar chocolates made with high-quality local and seasonal ingredients. The shop owner was very eager to treat us with delicious samples, and was a pleasure to chat with. We also loved seeing the people working in the back cutting fruits and nuts and flowers by hand and prepping them for chocolate-making. It doesn’t get more artisanal than this. Completely worth the visit. Left happily with delicious dark, passion fruit, and sea salt and almond chocolates to bring home for myself...

It's a small coffee shop with mom and pop vibes. Modern, simple clean! I bought one bar of Mama Pacha chocolate in vanilla, returned to the USA. Took one bite and then cried b/c I wanted to buy 10 more chocolate bars LOL. I had the coffee and water drink so we can really taste the chocolate YUM. My friend had chocolate with milk and milk microfoam and froth were on point - and I still tasted the chocolate. Then they came by with piping hot buns - so yes please, added that to our order. We were very happy campers. A very memorable coffee experience, I low-key wish remained undiscovered. They're the best!! Please send me coffee...

The owner and their staff (mainly Linda) are really knowledgeable, welcoming, and attentive. Even if you’re not around that area, you should...
