★★★★★a month agoEven if you only have 20 minutes to spare, a stop at the Museu de la Xocolata’s café is an absolute must for any chocolate and coffee lover. Their mochaccino is on another level, made with real melted chocolate that creates an incredibly rich, velvety, and luxurious drink unlike any standard mocha. To accompany it, the café offers an excellent selection of high-quality pastries and chocolates, making it the perfect place for a sweet break. We enjoyed it so much that we returned several times during our visit just for another mochaccino. A delightful treat that is worth the trip all on its own.
