Quantity:

The cacao beans used to make our 75% Dark Chocolate Bark is sourced directly from the northwest Calinan district of Davao City, Philippines. Known as the cacao capital, Davao produces 80% of the nation’s cacao. 

Mr. Michael Tan operates a small cacao buying station located in the Poblacion, town centre of Calinan, Philippines. He buys wet cacao beans from smallholder farmers which are fermented and sun-dried in small batches. Such production ensures quality and develops great flavour notes.

Still searching for answers

I had really been excited to visit this venue. The reviews online were outstanding and I was eager to buy gifts for work colleagues. At first glance this store/factory is crazy cute. Everything is well organized and it’s a chocolate lover’s eye fantasy come to life. The dream did not last long however. What I thought would be a completely easy and thoughtful gift shortly turned into a drawn out, ongoing event of a thousand questions with no clear answer. If you’re looking for factory tours (which is why the reviews were thru the roof), look no further. They don’t offer them anymore. I left my contact info for a manager to answer some questions I had regarding gift cards/the mysterious tours/tasting events- and I never heard back. I went in on a Sunday with promise a senior member of staff would reply to my questions as the staff on that day could not. We did have breakfast (with the family) but it wasn’t easy to split meals, in typical Singapore service fashion, they cannot accommodate fairly easy requests (not to say I haven’t had good service- but here the request was very very simple and the server refused to even consider-an extra plate) Overall the menu is superb. Pricing is reasonable and atmosphere is very attractive but we left with a sour and frustrating experience. All I wanted was gift cards in the amount that my colleague and her family could attend a tour or a tasting but gift cards/vouchers don’t exist either. They must be e-gift cards to be used online only. Sad and upsetting really. Missing out on a lot of sales. I hope they revisit having the tours and allowing gift vouchers to be used in store for gift opportunities. I also hope they fully inform their employees of their offering (tours or no tours- bring back tours!). Definitely a fun, value add place but still room for improvement overall.

Nice chocolates but delivery service can be improved

Bought some chocolates for delivery to a dear friend. Friend was not around and items were received by helper. No instructions to keep chilled. Yes there was ice pack but items were left outside for more than 24hrs when it could be easily be store in the fridge.
