Monsoon Chocolate Factory + Gift Shop 234 East 22nd Street, Tucson, AZ 85713

"Our group of 10 enjoyed the tour. The guide was nice, but she showed a presentation on a tablet. I’d suggest hanging a TV on the wall so a large screen is visible to all. It was hard for my friend with vision issues to see. The $20 tour fee we each paid was extremely overpriced for the small size of the facility (not more than 1,000 sq ft) & for the time of the tour. Granted, many of the chocolate pieces are a stunning work of art. However, if you prefer milk chocolate you’re out of luck and will be very disappointed because everything is dark chocolate! It may SAY milk, but it’s all dark. I love supporting fair trade businesses, but the prices are very high. And, the cafe recently relocated so you can no longer stop here for a cafe treat or Mexican hot chocolate. Glad I went because I saw this business featured on Arizona Highways a year or so ago and wanted to check it out. I enjoyed the chocolate covered cashew brittle purchase, but wouldn’t return or really recommend."

"My partner and I came here to celebrate Valentines Day, we got the choose your own box of 15 and every bonbon we ate was divine! We also got drinks, they got the Chai and I got the Cocoa Nibs Horchate which were both incredible. The atmosphere is really chill and there is enough space to sit and enjoy your chocolates. Would recommend this place for anyone who needs a gift or just wants to eat some amazing chocolate."

"OMG, anything with chiltepín pepper is a MUST TRY here. Also the almond praline was to die for. The coconut caramel tastes exactly like the coconut spread they put on toast in Singapore. Those were my favorites out of the eight chocolates that we tried. All the flavors were very well balanced and not too sweet and also BEAUTIFUL. Very Instagram worthy and also taste great which is a rare combination. This place has odd hours and their cafe isn't open for another week or so. Staff was really nice."

"Delightful chocolate bars sourced from all over the cocoa growing world. Hand painted chocolates by the piece. Ice cream. Coffee. Interesting tea selections. Friendly, knowledgeable staff willing to engage and explain anything. Got a white chocolate mesquite bar and Madagascar dark. Coming back for house made ice cream. Shop/factory takes sanitation very seriously. No place to hang out inside. Get your ice cream and mosey on outside to the tables, Pardner. Also best hot latte I ever had in Tucson. Chocolate bars range from $9.99-11.99, had to take off a star because it’s priced so high you almost can’t enjoy eating your paycheck."
