A good place to have an idea of the chocolate process. The tour cost about $25 and includes samples and a bar of chocolate with the ingredients of your preference. Also they show you their status made with chocolate. They're pretty cool Panamanian images. During the explanation of how to make chocolate you can taste different snacks with chocolate too. I visited this place with a friend and we both enjoyed it. It lasts about one hour.

Loved our experience here the staff were all so lovely but we have to say the service we had from Oriel was some of the best customer service we have had in all of Central America. He was so enthusiastic and very knowledgeable in his chocolate facts, but we just loved the energy he brought to the experience. We ended up buying the grape chocolate bar and not to be over dramatic but it was quite literally the BEST chocolate I have ever eaten I cannot recommend it enough. Also don’t forget to check out the chocolate sculptures they are very impressive. This little shop ended up being the highlight of our day

I am so gutted that I didn't discover this place until my last day in Panama City! Wow, such helpful, friendly staff, and a fantastic array of chocolate! You can buy bars immediately, or have them made to order. And the boxes that they come in are beautiful. This place is definitely worth a visit for any fan of chocolate

We popped into the shop to purchase some chocolate. Not expecting much, however we were given a little tour and told about the history of the chocolate and able to see the ornaments made of chocolate. Cute little store.
