Marsatta Chocolate Experience Centre — Restaurant in Torrance

Anyone who compares this chocolate to a Hersheys is either 6 years old or has no concept of what real chocolate is supposed to taste like and probably considers a night of Kraft Mac n Cheese and hot dogs a gourmet dinner. First of all, Hersheys contains very little if any actual cacao in it's chocolate bars. Secondly, take a look at the ingredients on the wrapper of a Hersheys bar.............scary what they put in there.

Now, for the adults who are reading this.............Marsatta Chocolate is painstakingly made by the owner of the store who has way more than a mere passing knowledge of chocolate. If you spend just 5 minutes with him, it is clear that he understands the complexities of what REAL chocolate is about and he makes his creations with a genuine passion for the product that reflects that knowledge.

The second you walk in the store, you realize that there is something special going on. The aromas are incredible and you cannot wait to sample some of the amazing products which the owner is always more than happy to share with you.

Is it on the expensive side? Well, as I said, if you come from a background where you would consider a Hersheys Bar fine chocolate, than you might think so but if you spend a few minutes searching for organic, bean to bar chocolate on the internet, you will find that Marsatta Chocolate is priced very fairly and actually lower than many others made in a similar way. But why listen to me.......go give it a try for yourself. As I said, the proprietors are more than happy to share a sample or two or three with you and you can decide for yourself. SURVEY...

First time here. Still open during construction. Its a very small place. Not too sure how long they've been open. There's just a couple of tables with a couple of chairs each. So not too sure what the finished store will be like. They have coffee, teas, pastries and chocolate. The service is friendly and helpful in explaining the menu items. The chocolate I tried was the mocha. It was so good. The depth, richness and smoothness of the chocolate was the best. I then got the floral lemon rooibos iced tea. So flavorful and refreshing. Loved it. My mother tried their hot chocolate and the milk almond log. She loved both. Said the hot chocolate was rich and chocolatey. It is pricey for the chocolate but worth indulging in. I would definitely go back. It will be when I really...

I see the sign everyday but didn't think much of the place. To be honest, I questioned whether or not it was an abandoned building. Nonetheless, I was on a walk with my wife and kids and decided to poke my head in. The owner was there a few minutes to close and gave us the royal treatment. Chocolates are excellent. The education I received was enjoyable. I had never tasted pure chocolate that tasted so good, I thought it was supposed to be bitter. NOPE! This WILL be a boutique chocolate shop one day that is ran by employees that don't have the passion the Owner/Chocolate Master does. My recommendation is to get there soon for the raw, real-deal experience we got to have before...
