Superbe expérience ! Vinicio a été excellent, nous avons appris comment faire du chocolat ! Équipe très sympathique, chocolats délicieux, je recommande fortement

My husband posted a review, but I had to do the same. We took the chocolate class with Jessica, and she was such a delight! She took us through the history of chocolate all the way from the Mayans to modern day, and she made it so interesting that I want to study it myself now! I learned so much in a very entertaining and interactive way - we actually roasted and ground cacao beans, and we made our own chocolate drinks from scratch!

I would recommend anyone to go to Ek Chua, because you will learn so much and have so much fun at the same time.

If Willy Wonka had a Guatemalan cousin, her name would be Jessica! My wife and I took the chocolate-making class at Ek Chuah Chocolate Café, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our honeymoon. From the moment we stepped in, the aroma of cocoa whispered, “You’re about to have the best time ever,” and it did not lie.

Jessica was absolutely amazing — equal parts chocolate expert, comedian, and life coach. She didn’t just teach us how chocolate is made… she turned it into a full-blown experience filled with laughter, history, and (of course) lots of tasting! She made learning so engaging that even the “educational” parts felt like a party.

And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the Ek Chua team surprised us with a special honeymoon plate they made just for us! ❤️ It was such a thoughtful gesture that made us feel celebrated and spoiled…I’m not saying I teared up, but I’m also not not saying that.

Everything about this place went above and beyond — the warmth, the humor, the hospitality, and the chocolate (which I’m convinced is 80% love and 20% magic). If you’re in Antigua, do yourself a favor and book this class. And if you get Jessica as your teacher, congratulations… you’ve officially won the golden ticket. 🎫🍫

All I can say is WOW. Jessica was AMAZING! This was such a fun, enriching, and enlightening experience to learn about Cacao, and the Mayan culture. I loved every single part of the cacao experience and would HIGHLY recommend you come do this if you’re visiting Antigua. You will learn about cacao, you will make a cacao drink and make your own chocolates, and you will be able to taste everything. Great experience!!! Muchas gracias Ek Chuah!! Con mucho amor

I truly recommend this experience to EVERYONE! I’ve been speaking so highly of this place and of Jessica. The workshop was so much fun, educational, and the perfect dive into Mayan and Guatemalan culture. I had the best chocolate I’ve ever tasted and learned so much from Jessica. Everyone there was kind, joyful, and full of positive energy. It’s so beautiful to see people doing their work with such passion and love. If you’re in Guatemala, don’t skip this!!!!
