Erich Friebel: Chocolate lovers must visit Mindo's quaint Kerrytown shop in Ann Arbor. What's not to love about Ecuadorian heirloom cacao chocolate treats hand-made in Dexter, MI?! Try their Himalayan Heart Breakers for some ooey gooey caramel goodness or get serious with a dark chocolate salt & pepper bar. Don't for get the gluten-free El Quetzal brownies. OM NOM NOM!

Top Notch Balloon Creations: Congratulations on your Grand Opening! Love the brownie and the chocolates with coffee beans and ginger

Roy Pal: This experience was absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide (Tyler) was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, shared a wealth of information about chocolate making you won't find on Google, and best of all, offered lots of varieties of chocolate samples! Making our own chocolate bar was definitely a highlight. This tour made us appreciate high quality chocolate that's ethically sourced in Ecuador. Thank you Mindo!! 🍫

Brennen Diaz: Give Jaime back, I want to talk to her :( Only 5 stars because it's chocolate.

paige P: The owner Barbara led our tour, giving us background on the overall history of chocolate as well as how Mindo came to be.In the process of roasting, grinding, and winnowing our own cocoa, we were able to sample many unique items along the way (including a molasses-like syrup made from the fruit, chocolate tea made from the shells, rustic chocolate and much more).Finally, we made our way into the kitchen to make our own chocolate bar and package them up.Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience--no prior chocolate knowledge needed. Thanks Barbara and Tori for a great tour!

Nicholas Semanisin: Wasn’t overly familiar with different types of chocolates. Always been a basic hershey chocolate kinda guy. But when I went into Mindo chocolate the staff was extremely helpful explaining all the different types I’ve so blindly been living without. Honestly the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had for those cold Michigan winters! Support local businesses and give them a shout. Even if you’re a novice like me :)

Kory Zhao: The chocolate bar making class was interesting and really fun!

Lisa S.: I’ve loved having the ability to shop at their physical store here in Ann Arbor. I’ve bought their chocolate bars for a while and was so thrilled when they opened this place up on Midnight Madness in 2021.During a recent visit with my bestie, I bought some cocoa powder and a bar. One of the two maker gals was there, as was her mom. These women are amazing, beautiful souls! We had the most lovely chat. It’s refreshing to meet people who are so passionate about their work, who pour so much love into their products.I was so blown away by their generosity too. We tried samples of one of their soon to be released chocolate. We also were given a sample of their brownies, which are totally divine. (I’m vegan and she even opened a vegan one up for me for my sample. I mean, wow!).Their chocolate is so delicious! It is the best I’ve ever had, to be honest. Years ago, I even briefly lived in Austria and had award winning chocolate while there. Mindo’s chocolate is a spiritual experience 😅 I’ll say. 🙏🏻☮️💖😊 I’ve gifted their bars to many people and the recipients have loved it too. So grateful we have this location in Ann Arbor!

A wide variety of truffles with flavors that range from complex combinations of fruit, liquors, and herbs to the awesomely simple 99% dark chocolate with a hint of honey. You also can't go wrong with any of the other chocolates, fruit patés, or caramels.

Vedran Radojcic: No need to fly to San Francisco for Recchiuti any longer. Superb chocolates, have yet to find a match in the 500 mile radius. Of note, storefront is closed and Sweet Gem now sells on Farmers Market, directly, or through local stores (Zingermans among others)
