Lovely little museum with a lot packed into a small space. I got a discount with my ticket from the Jade museum and probably wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't been directed there. It was a good size to wander and then sit sipping chocolate in afterwards. Would definitely recommend it for an afternoon stop.

Small but interesting museum. Not much to see but worth the detour for the chocolate shop which is obviously free to enter. It also has a nice little inside terrasse for a coffee or better a hot chocolate. Also, the signs and explanations are as far as I can remember only in spanish.

An interesting museum for chocolate lovers. It's pretty small, but only costs 30 pesos so it's reasonable. The hot chocolate downstairs is delicious and in very good quality. The only problem is that only about half of the information is presented in both in English and Spanish, and the rest only in spanish.

Workshop is highly recommendable! Unfortunately we had to go there the day before to book it because the online communication didn't work.

The best hot chocolate/cocoa/cacao we ever tasted. Period. If you must have sugar, go for the 86% cacao, otherwise the 100%. And have it made with water, not milk. The price is only slightly higher than hot chocolate in any number of regular cafes in the area., but the taste is far superior.

The museum itself is interesting and we found the staff very helpful in explaining how we need to process our own cacao.

Pretty small, but interesting. If you already know a bit about Cacao, I wouldn’t deem it worth the 30 peso entrance fee.

The museum is little, they don have any guide or explaining video, otherwise it’s a good introduction to the cacao world
