Miami's chocolate scene is a vibrant and diverse world, brimming with personality and flavour. One of the standout stars in this culinary landscape is Garcia Nevett Chocolatier de Miami.

Located in South Miami, Garcia Nevett Chocolatier de Miami prides itself on using single-origin Venezuelan cacao, blending it with local Miami flavours such as Key West honey and Miami citrus. The shop offers a chocolate studio experience, where customers can watch the chocolatiers handcraft each piece from fine Belgian chocolate. [1]
Other notable artisanal chocolate shops in Miami include Exquisito Chocolates, a Miami-based factory and shop focused on ethically sourced, handcrafted chocolates, and Le Chocolatier Fine Handmade Chocolate, recognized by MiamiMag as one of Miami's top 10 chocolate stores. [3][4]
Le Chocolatier, located in North Miami Beach, has been creating luxury chocolates since 1980. It offers a wide selection, including options for events, business functions, and decadent gifts. [4]
Cao Chocolates, based in Pinecrest, is another purist's indulgence that produces bean-to-bar chocolate. This husband-and-wife team's creation, opened by Ricardo Trillos and Anelith Ortega, offers minimalist chocolate bars, infused bonbons, cacao nibs, and drinking chocolate. [2]
Romanicos Chocolates, a micro-batch chocolate company with a fine dining twist, is located near Coconut Grove. One of their best-selling products, the "Miami Sushi" box, reimagines sushi in chocolate form. [2]
