Exquisito Chocolates, Miami
Imagine Willy Wonka鈥檚 dream come true in Miami 鈥� that鈥檚 Exquisito Chocolates, the city鈥檚 very first chocolate factory, planted right in the heart of Little Havana. Behind the sleek shopfront, a 1,200-square-foot workshop hums away, visible through floor-to-ceiling glass like a live cooking show. Visitors keen on learning every step of the process can even join chocolate-making classes to trace the journey from cacao bean to truffle, ending up gloriously smeared in cocoa dust and pride...
But this isn鈥檛 your Swiss chocolatier鈥檚 dreamland, no 鈥� Exquisito speaks fluent Miami. They 鈥淟atinize鈥� and 鈥淢iamify鈥� their creations, spinning out bonbons with classic hometown flavors like Caf茅 con Leche, Little Guavana (made with fresh Redland guava), and the dangerously good Miami Vice truffle 鈥� made of dark chocolate blended with cafecito and dulce de leche. The factory shop display shines with 12 permanent truffle flavors, a lineup of single-origin bars made from cacao sourced straight from partner farms, and whatever other confections the day鈥檚 mood may inspire.
And because nothing in Miami goes to waste, even the cacao husks get a second act. Local manufacturers like Lincoln鈥檚 Beard Brewing Co., Azucar Ice Cream Company, and The Salty Donut have turned Exquisito鈥檚 leftovers into secret ingredients 鈥� infusing beer, ice cream, and pastries with the subtle magic of chocolate ghosts.
So, if you ever wondered what happens when craftsmanship meets cafecito culture, this is it: a sweet revolution, bean-to-bar, Miami-style...
