ChocoVivo (2469 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, 90066; 310.845.6259) The “bean to bar” chocolate maker now has a retail space in Venice. Snag a stool and indulge in Mayan dark coco. ChocoVivo only makes dark chocolate (no milk powder, soy lecithin or additional cacao butter) and they make it the way the Mayans and Aztecs made it over 2000 years ago. They grind whole cacao nibs to a mortar and use whole spices. They have chocolate bars with 100% cacao to 65%, plus flavors like Almonds & Sea Salt, Coffee & Vanilla and Cherries, Almonds & Black Peppercorns. Cacao nibs, gift sets and chocolate powder are also available. Check it out, you’ll see “Simple Is Better.”
