We have some exciting news to share, and it's the kind that makes us reach for a piece of our favorite dark chocolate to celebrate.
A Little Sweet History
If you've been following our journey, you know that last year was nothing short of extraordinary for us. In 2024, USA Today's 10Best readers voted us #3 Best Chocolate Shop in the entire United States — making us the only Florida shop to land on the list. That recognition brought chocolate lovers from across the country through our doors in South Miami, and it meant the world to us.
We're sisters who left Venezuela with a dream, a deep love for cacao, and a whole lot of passion for the craft. What started as a small home-based operation in 2012 has grown into something we could have only imagined back then. Being ranked among the top three chocolate shops in the nation was a reminder that staying true to our roots — Venezuelan single-origin cacao, handcrafted European techniques, and the bold, tropical spirit of Miami — resonates with people everywhere.
Now, We're Going for It Again
This year, we're once again among the twenty chocolate shops nominated nationwide competing for a spot in USA Today's 10Best. And with your support, we believe we can go even further.
Voting is open to the public, and every single vote counts. Whether you've tasted our hand-painted bonbons, our s'mores bars, our sea salt ganache, or our signature Flavors of Florida collection, now is your chance to show the world what you already know: Miami has one of the finest chocolate shops in the country.
Why It Matters to Us
Awards like this aren't just about bragging rights (though we won't lie — they do make us smile). Recognition from a national platform like USA Today helps us tell the story of Venezuelan cacao to a wider audience, shine a spotlight on South Miami, and show that a small, woman-owned, immigrant-founded business can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the nation.
It also means we can keep doing what we love: creating chocolates that surprise you, delight you, and connect you to a flavor story that stretches from the cacao farms of Venezuela to your hands right here in Miami.
