Maker Spotlight - The Xocolate Bar

The Xocolate Bar is a Latina-owned family business founded in 2006 by life partners Malena Lopez-Maggi and Clive Brown. With backgrounds in arts and crafts, we make creative chocolates that are as beautiful as they are delicious. As Berkeley foodies, we believe in clean ingredients and ethical sourcing. Our house blend of chocolate is organic and fair trade. We use all natural ingredients, including natural color cocoa butter and edible mineral dust for decoration. Plenty of vegan and gluten free options are always available. In addition to our housemade chocolates, we carry irresistible confections made near and far. We are members of the Good Food Guild, supporting fine quality artisan food. In 2020, we took the initiative to decolonize our craft chocolate selection. We now showcase a growing selection of world renowned made-at-origin bars. If you find it at The Xocolate Bar, you can trust that it is well made, all natural and delicious. Our Solano Ave location opened in 2008 and that is still where we make and ship all of our chocolates. It is smaller than you can imagine, but we do have rich dark sipping chocolate on tap. Our College Ave location opened 15 years later in 2023, giving us room to expand our curatorial wings. You can spend the day browsing the loveliest sweets and more.

A Note from the Dev

This website is very much a work in progress and a labor of love. Over the next couple of weeks (months?) I hope to flush this out and make it a full fledge database for chocolate bars and a central discussion spot for chocolate lovers alike.

If you notice any issues or bugs feel free to shoot me an email, and I'll do my best to get it resolved quickly. If you thought of an awesome feature that you'd like to see implemented you can email me that too. Thanks for being here at the beginning and I hope you continue this journey with us as we make the site awesome!
