Chocolate

The chocolate we make is truly a collaboration with the farm workers who grow, harvest, ferment, and dry the cacao. Our goal is to honor their hard work by processing the cacao as minimally as possible to reveal the beautiful and complex flavors inherent in the beans.

Try the Mexican hot chocolate, it's like a warm hug in a mug.

They have a frozen hot chocolate that, when it’s 105 here in July and your brain is melting, will make you feel like a million dollars!

Yeah, it’s impressive as hell…I wish I brought home more.

  • Bernie's Bagels @ Monsoon Chocolate Cafe + Market

    Bernie’s Bagels has arrived at the Cafe + Market for a seasonal residency! Bernie’s began in 2019 as a weekend pop up that sold out in a single day, and when it returned during the pandemic it became a lifeline for Monsoon during an incredibly difficult moment.

    The project is named in honor of Adam’s late uncle Bernie, and it has always held deep personal meaning for our team.

    Bagels and schmears are available Monday through Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays, Bernie’s expands into a full brunch menu with breakfast and lunch offerings. Everything is served exclusively at the Cafe + Market.
