Exquisite chocolate treats—like truffles, bonbons, and bars—await at our new favorite chocolate confectionery in Miami’s Little Havana!
An Exquisite Choco-Story
Mass-produced chocolate isn’t something you’ll find at this unique chocolate factory—artificial preservatives have no place on your palate. When you unwrap a decadent treat from Exquisito, know it has passed quite the inspection to receive the coveted spot nestled inside your honey’s gift bag.
At Exquisito Chocolates, no corner is cut. You’ll find chemical-free handmade goodies—crafted from the finest cacao beans—thanks to the innovative ideas of Exquisito’s “Chocolate Empress”, Carolina Quijano. The self-proclaimed chocoholic traveled to Paris for business, and with one taste of their life-altering chocolate, her chocolate empire was born—and perfected in NYC. Fueled by a dream and a southern leap, she opened her chocolate factory in Miami, FL, and all our chocolate dreams were made.
Using direct trade cacao beans sourced from origin farms throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, Exquisito creates bean-to-bar masterpieces that bring out the natural flavor of the beans. The result? Decadent, delicious treats of the highest quality.

Or, make any day a special occasion with goodies like the Nama-ste Collection, an assortment of chocolates inspired by Japanese Nama truffles that settle like velvet on your tongue. This box of treats is made with fresh cream, and include:

Craving something a little crunchier? Exquisito’s Silver Collection of bonbons was handpicked by the Empress herself and head chocolatier, Lara. This assortment of house-made chocolates includes:

- Holiday Spice Praline: These silver-decorated crunchy chocolate bites are made with warm winter spice & filled with caramelized almonds.
