Best place to buy international award winning chocolate. Within walking distance of Miraflores. Ran by an American from NJ with a master degree. Very friendly and informative about all things chocolate in Peru. Not pushy. You can try chocolate from all over the country for free and she tailors it to your taste. Then you can casually select what you want and ask further questions. You get there by going up the steps from the main road.

ZILLIONS of regional Peruvian chocolates! Like a fine wine shop, the super friendly staff will explain the flavor profile and brand story of anything you see. To boot, you can sample EVERYTHING!! We didn’t have time to do it, but you can also schedule a tasting “tour” where they will take you through the process of making the chocolate / understanding the flavors etc. I will 1000% be back here next time I come to Lima.

Stumbled upon this store when browsing another store in the same building, and what a great find! ALL the best chocolates from Peru in one location and a friendly and very knowledgeable owner, who took the time to explain about the Peruvian cocoa producing regions, their different characteristics, and created a sampler for us based on our preferences. Great service, great products, ideal gifts and fun experience!

El Cacaotal is not only a chocolate store, it's a chocolate and cacao educational center. The owner and host AJ is incredibly knowledgeable about Peruvian chocolate, its farming and the manufacturing process. She is also passionately eager to share it with the world. The selection is amazing and the experience is unforgettable. I would particularly recommend doing the tasting and spending some time listening to the story behind each and every chocolate bar. Highly recommended.

Fantastic shop. Loads of different chocolate bars from all across Peru, arranged by region. Each bar can be tried for free and the man who served us was knowledgeable about the different types. It was fascinating to taste the difference between all the different bars. The shop also does tasty hot chocolate and coffee. Bars of chocolate cost around S/18 to S/22. Definitely the most interesting chocolate shopping experience I've has and I've bought quite a lot of chocolate! A bit difficult to find as it has to sign on the street. Follow the signs to the PUNA concept store - it's up a flight of stairs.

This is a chocolate lovers paradise! AJ is friendly and very knowledgeable about where her chocolate bars come from! If you care about the stories, history and industry of cacao this is a must visit in Lima. If you love really good dark chocolate that speaks to the terroir of Peru and is packed with more nutrients (darker the better!) this is also the place for you! Come visit to learn or take a cacao tasting class or pick up some Peruvian chocolate as gifts!
