Reviews Xocolatl Chocolate

I came here with my boo not too long ago, and we walked around for a bit trying to shake off the cold from outside. I saw a sign that listed vegan whipped cream and marshmallows, and thought, "Say no more!" Super happy I swiped this decadent delight; the hot chocolate was incredibly rich, and it paired perfectly with the toppings. The marshmallow was very impressive.

Great Lady was so Helpful excited about talking about what was there sampled 5 got 3 and a drink.. delicious dark chocolate

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!

Not only is this bean to bar chocolate a delicious culinary treasure to be savored and explored, their customer service can not be beat. I have been sheltering in place for months and ran out of chocolate during the hottest month of the year here in Georgia. I really wanted to support this local gem as well as re up my stock of bean to bar chocolate. Xocolatl was having an end of summer 10% off sale so I decided to buy the five bar single origin flight instead of just the one bar I had been dreaming of. I placed my order and got all the way to the end before I realized that the coupon did not take. I sent them an email just to let them know not to complain but to let them know. I was willing to pay full price but maybe others may not. I immediately received an email apologizing for the issue. It was a Saturday so I was told that they would take care of it on Monday. I let them know I would be happy to have additional chocolate in the value of the discount or a refund, whichever was better for them. I got an email saying they would be sending me their most popular bar Wide-Eyed which was a little higher in value that the discount. I got the tracking number and waited like a kid on Christmas Eve for the chocolate to arrive. I watched a waited by the mailbox and was there to receive the delivery directly from the postman. I didn't want the bars to sit out in the heat. Unfortunately, the chocolate had melted. Knowing that the chocolate would still be tasty just not shinny and as the maker intended I reached out to them to let them know how the bars arrived. I let them know I would be willing to wait until the weather cooled down and it was safe to ship the bars again but they insisted on shipping the order again. I received an email from one of the owners expressing their deepest apologies and asked that I explain a little more about how the order arrived and let me know that I would also be hearing from the shipping department to find out what went wrong since they had recently begun shipping during summer months. Before I could finish my email back the email from the shipping manager came asking how the order was packed so they could improve. That email also came with the tracking number of the replacement order before I could even respond the order was shipped out with extra ice packs and double insulation inside a box instead of an envelope which is how the original order came. I was already in love with their chocolates and their company belief in sustainable and ethical sourcing of cocoa. Add the top notch customer service and you have really got a winner. I highly recommend Xocolatl and would go so far as to implore you to support this small business to keep alive and not a casualty of the current crisis.

I used Xocolatl’s chef chocolate (Nicaragua 72%) to bake dark chocolate sea salt cookies for my family and friends, and they were divine! We all loved the rich flavors that the chocolate gave to the cookies, so I am never going back to purchasing cheap store bought chocolate anymore. I am always looking for ways to perfect my quintessential chocolate chip recipe, and this chocolate does it. I highly, highly recommend it, and it is definitely worth the money. As a baker, I ask that you all purchase this! Thank you, Xocolatl!
