Chocolate Maven

We were out of towners looking for a quaint local brunch spot. THIS IS THE SPOT!! The food was excellent and it had a great atmosphere. The staff were very helpful and it was family/small kid friendly. They seated us next to the window so our kids could watch all the behind the scenes baking occurring. Would definitely recommend 10/10

I am so thankful for this little gem and wish I would have written a review sooner. Way back in March, just before we knew what was about to hit us when the world was blindsided by the corona virus, I was in Santa Fe with my kiddos attempting to salvage what was left of my child’s birthday, having been turned away by other establishments and finding out that places were unexpectedly closed. I found Chocolate Maven and purchased a cake from their case and asked if we could sit in the cafe to eat it and drink hot cocoa. They obliged us and there were only 2 other patrons in the establishment when we were seated. Every single employee, down to the bakers making bread rolls, were ever so sweet and helped to bring a little cheer to my daughter’s birthday. The baker brought out dough for my girls to play with while the cafe employees prepared our cocoa and cake with candles. When the cake was ready, they all came out to sing Happy Birthday to my daughter, and those other patrons also joined in. All the people that were there that day have no idea how thankful this distraught mother was to be able to encounter such sweet and thoughtful kindness. I am forever grateful and have been back since to enjoy a lovely and delicious brunch. Their service is above and beyond and their food is a delight. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful part of the community.

I bought a dozen cupcakes for my birthday. They looked beautiful but intimidating. I was a bit scared to try one because it looked deadly. The second I took a bite pure bliss overwhelmed me. So so yummy. It was clear they were amazing quality. Their sophistication was much appreciated in the end. I haven't had much else from Chocolate Maven but this was a great experience.

Just visited Chocolate Maven and we weren't aware that tge restaurant closed at 2pm, we had walked in at 1:58 pm. We would have completely understood if they told us that the Kitchen was closed, But they sat us and let us order lunch. Food was delicious and my kids enjoyed watching them make the goodies in the bakery.

Had the Chilaquiles and the Green Chili Cheese Smashers, and they were WONDERFUL! LOVE the food there! Great service from many smiling faces, too. We'll be back!
