If you love the smell of raw chocolate, Chocoreich Cafe is for you. Located in a quaint corner in Tagbilaran's center, you wouldn't expect to find such a sweet get-away to blow your senses with chocolatey promises.
Being Tagbilaran's first artisan chocolate shop, it was an instant hit amongst teens and young professionals. Not only do they make their own chocolates, which is 100% Filipino-made, mind you, they also serve an all-chocolate menu.
From hot dark chocolate drinks to white chocolate smoothies, there's something for everyone; even spotting some older customers enjoying a hot cup of chocolate in the late afternoons.
The good thing about this, though, is that the cafe owner herself is quite an introvert and knows the value of a good book and a peaceful corner anywhere. With that in mind, she plans to expand the space soon to cater to all types of chocolate lovers. I'm excited to see what they do with it so I've decided to leave off the full-blown review for the cafe until then.
Overall, Chocoreich Cafe is without a doubt a great place to hang and just enjoy the taste and smell of good chocolate. For optimal relaxation, I suggest visiting the cafe during weekdays or during late afternoons and evenings. They just recently opened so inflow of customers are sporadic.
