Araya Artisan Chocolate — Restaurant in Katy

We recently booked a private chocolate making class in celebration of our friends’ sweet 16th wedding anniversary. From the moment we stepped into Araya Artisan Chocolates, it was clear that we were in for a truly special experience.

Rocco and Giusse, the passionate owners of Araya, welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm, inviting us to partake in a private chocolate making class unlike any other. Their love for their craft infused into every delicate truffle and decadent bonbon we had the pleasure of tasting.

Throughout the class, Rocco and Giusse generously shared the rich history of Araya, painting a vivid picture of their journey and the artistry behind their creations. From the origins of chocolate to the meticulous process of crafting each masterpiece, we were captivated by their knowledge and dedication.

But it was not just the knowledge and skill that made this experience unforgettable; it was the genuine care and passion that Rocco and Giusse poured into every moment. Their love for chocolate transcended mere ingredients, transforming each bite into a symphony of flavor and emotion.

The chocolates we tasted were nothing short of divine, each one a testament to the artistry and dedication of its creators. From velvety truffles to intricately designed bonbons, every creation was a masterpiece in its own right, reflecting the care and attention to detail that went into its making.

But beyond the delectable treats, it was the memories we made together that truly made this experience unforgettable. Laughing and learning alongside dear friends, we discovered the true magic of Araya’s chocolates – not just as a confection, but as a catalyst for joy, connection, and celebration. This was more than just a chocolate making class; it was a celebration of love, friendship, and the sweetest moments life has to offer. Thank you, Rocco and Giusse, for an experience we will...

This place is absolutely amazing! The chocolate is wonderful, tons of options and variety. They do have vegan options which I was extremely happy about. The best thing about my visit I would definitely say would be the customer service! They truly put their heart in what they do. We visited with our homeschool group and had a tour and class. We made our very own chocolate bars and they really catered to our allergies/diets. The young girl that taught the class was awesome! She was so interactive and helpful that three weeks later my 6 year old is still talking about her and how she said she was proud of him. It was very sweet! The owner was very kind as well and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this place for a field trip to schools or homeschool groups! Also, if you just want to buy some...

Nice and quiet specialty chocolate shop. They offer high quality hand-crafted chocolates and unique flavours from the fruity Acai Promegranate to the rich Bourbon Truffle.

Chef Linda and Co. was very patient and helpful, told me about the chocolates and offered the best suggestions based on the preferences I provided. The chocolates were delicious and tasted creamy and has a great chocolate flavour (rather than just sugar bombs from mass made chocolates at your local grocer).

I submitted an order online and made a list of chocolates I would like. Rocco from the live chat service on the website assisted me with my order and graciously gave me all the details and corrected any concerns I had with it. I had a pleasent and professional experience from the crew overall and will be back for...
