Tsokolateria was founded in 2015 at The Boutique Bed & Breakfast along Emilio Aguinaldo Highway, Tagaytay City, Cavite. The brand opened a second branch in Baguio City a few years later. It is known for expertly infusing local cacao in both its sweet and savory dishes.
The local cafe is usually located beside Filipino restaurant Pamana and/or Hawaiian BBQ Ribs, which are all restaurants of the Happy Concept Group. – Rappler.com
