From the presentation to the unique flavor combinations, to the cozy seating: this place was a perfect "pick me up" to grab a cup of cacao with friends! We enjoyed our drinks so much, in fact, that we bought some cacao to take with us!

One highlight during our stay was definitely a cacao workshop with Julio and Ala. Thank you so much for the quality time and talks . Julio is very knowledgeable and passionate sharing about cacao, starting from its history, economics impact, sustainable and responsible production, to the detailed tasting and evaluation of cacao beans. And Jangala’s products tastes soooooo goood!!! Their chocolates, besides the great taste, has an amazing smooth and soft texture even without milk!! We came to Jangala every single day to try their range of excellent cacao, cacao pulp juice, ice cream and chocolate. Everything is amazing. Thank you amazing Jangala team!

Delicious cacao with many options of drinks and chocolates to enjoy the fruits of this wonderful plant. The three day jungle trip is a great opportunity to experience the wonders of the jungle and nearby waterfalls, learn about cocoa production, clear your mind, and support a business that promotes sustainable production of the cocoa plant. Julio is a fun, knowledgeable, and charming host.

Amazing cacao spot! We tried cacao juice and cacao elixir. The owner was super friendly and explaining the origins of cacao and the regions. Definitely will be back! P.S: sorry, on the photo only a little of cacao left as it was too delicious

I have never tasted such good chocolate and chocolate ice cream. I look forward to trying the Americano tomorrow. It also has chocolate in it. My only regret is that the store cannot set up a branch store where I live.

Absolutely phenomenal. The best cacao I have ever had. We tried the cacao fruit juice, a cardamom/orange hot cacao, “la pasion de la selva” cocktail, and a cacao affogato with vegan chocolate ice cream (which was my favorite). Jangala’s commitment to sustainability, direct trade with the farmers, local sourcing of all ingredients, and expertise in the craft make them top tier. Unmatched quality. I would eat and drink here everyday if I could.
