We're located just a few steps from the beach in Playa Cocles. Looking forward to meeting you!
Chocolate Tour
Your tour starts at Caribean’s Coffee and Chocolate with a short hike through the cacao forest where you will learn the history of cacao and chocolate, how we harvest, and other farming practices. Along the way you might sight a sloth, monkey, or maybe even an agouti!
After a short hike you will be rewarded with an ocean view! You will taste the amazing fruit that eventually becomes chocolate! You might not know this, but next you will learn how we ferment and dry the beans…this makes the chocolate taste great! Most cacao farm tours stop there, but we make chocolate right here on our micro cacao farm!
So that means, after learning the tree to bean process, we move to our mini chocolate factory and demonstrate how we do the bean to bar process! You will learn the steps while enjoying the taste and aroma of chocolate while it is being made!
Now for the best part!!! You will then enjoy a chocolate tasting. Much like a wine tasting, you will experience the different aromas and flavors that come from the land. You will also try a traditional cacao drink similar to the traditional Aztec chocolate drink! Once you are almost full of chocolate you will be free to sample all of our chocolate flavors! Finally with your belly full of goodness, you head back to our shop and enjoy your tour discount. Get a drink or lunch or a bunch of chocolate or coffee the give to your friends and family back home! 😉

Our Coffee Shop
While you are in Puerto Viejo you may be missing your favorite coffee shop from home. We’re here for you!
From farm to cup, our coffee and chocolate drinks use local, quality products. Our Arabica coffee is grown in the high elevation of Mata de Platano, and fresh-roasted here at the Caribeans factory. A medium roast gives our coffee nice body and notes of chocolate.
Whether you like it hot or cold we have your drink. How about an iced mochaccino or a natural fruit smoothie?
Don’t stay hangry…pop in for a slice of our amazing Mocha Cake.
Open Monday – Sunday 7:30-5:00
