Cacao Sampaka

L'Eixample


Chocoholics will be convinced they have died and passed on to a better place. Load up on every conceivable flavour (rosemary, perhaps, or curry?) or head for the cafe out the back where you can have a classic xocolata (hot chocolate) and munch on exquisite chocolate cakes, tarts, ice cream, sweets and sandwiches. The bonbons make particularly good presents.
