Don't miss the opportunity to visit this wonderful 'chocolate factory' in the charming, white washed town of Mijas, Costa Del Sol. The owner gave us some delicious 'free' samples of chocolate and we enjoyed choosing our favourites to purchase and indulge ourselves later in the day.

I was amazed at the customer service of MMM. The owner gave me samples of both ice cream and chocolates, & then personally escorted me upstairs to the factory for a demonstration on how the chocolate is made. When the type of hot chocolate mix I wanted was out, he quickly put together another bag for me. He was knowledgeable,... More

We adorned the doors of the Mayan Monkey during our week long holiday in La Cala Mijas. After what can only be described as a disappointing dinner we decided to leave the restaurant and seek our dessert from this little place we spotted earlier. As we approached it was clear that the owner was shutting up for the night however... More

As others have said, very friendly and knowledgeable owners and staff. Their passion for chocolate is evident. Aside from the chocolate, which comes in so many varieties of white, milk and dark that everyone can find one to their liking, the ice cream is incredible. Fantastic place to pick up unique chocolates as well as pure cocoa nibs, powder and... More

I did the chocolate workshop with my 3 children (one who is chocolate mad!!), another 5 people joined us and it lasted about an hour. We had a fabulous time, the kids loved designing and making their own chocolate bars and I think the adults in the group were as excited!! After the bars were made, we were told all... More

This is a lovely chocolate shop that sits in the hilly village of Mijas. The owner is very excited about this new venture and loves to talk you through all the different types of chocolate he sells. The chocolates are wonderful and I ended up buying lots more that I was planning! The chocolates make a lovely gift for friends... More

A wonderful morning with 3 generations of our family all enjoying making chocolate bars to celebrate my daughters 6 th birthday. A fun and informative workshop which gave as much pleasure to a 6 year old as it did to a 75 year old. The enthusiasm and dedication of the owners shone through. Many thanks for a great experience.

Called in to the shop whilst on a trip to Mijas - beautiful decor in new shop, only recently opened. Friendly shopowner/keeper is British and displays a genuine passion for his chocolate. He had recommendations, offered tasters and made a real effort to talk to customers. We did not have the time to do the Workshop, but would have liked... More
