This shop/coffee shop can be found in amongst the market stalls. The most amazing hot chocolate I have ever tasted. Gorgeous rich chocolate in a saucer on the top and create your own taste with the hot milk - fabulous! Great place for a stop. Great shop with choice of coffee and chocolate items to buy. Nice little coffee shop at the rear of the shop. Toilet facilities at the back. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.

ChocoMuseo Ollantaytambo

Manufacturing and sale of organic artisanal chocolate from bean to bar. Coffee shop and an attractive selection of fresh homemade pastries. Unique information about the cacao obtention process. Free samples. Chocolate-manufacturing classes.

Reviewed By lilystine - Raleigh, United States

We were drawn in by the free samples outside (smart idea) I had the Mayan hot chocolate and my friend had the conquistador hot chocolate. My sister got the brownie. All were yummy and served as a great dessert. Oh and you can make th hot chocolate to your liking (more milk or more chocolate) I would recommend even just walking through and picking up a souvenir for a friend or family. Cocoa is one of peru's native crops so this a perfect gift to take home!
