Tabal Chocolate

Tabal Chocolate makes single origin bean-to-bar chocolate in Wauwatosa, sourcing its cacao through direct trade with small scale farmers abroad. Its bars run from extra dark 80 to 100 percent to milk and fruit and nut bars, and single origin names like Esmeraldas, Ecuador and Costa Rica appear on the shelf. The shop also serves gelato, vegan sorbet, hot chocolate and coffee drinks, including mochas.

Shoppers can buy bars, gift sets and cacao nibs online or in the store, and gift cards are available. The company runs bean-to-bar classes at beginner and advanced levels, plus tea pairings and custom projects such as wedding favors and corporate gifts. Breweries can order cacao nibs and liquid cacao, and orders over $100 ship free.
