In love with the cocoa - I had the absolute best time at Nomé. The experience was luxurious compared to other chocolate classes I have attended in other countries. The prosecco pairing elevated the experience. Our instructor was perfect...very knowledgeable, polite and engaging. Everyone at Nomé is pleasant. I highly recommend this experience.

Chocolate. - My partner loves chocolate so this was perfect for him. We really enjoyed tasting chocolate and seeing how it’s made in Panama. We even bought chocolate to take home and made our own bars.

Chocolate Making Class - This was a awesome experience!! My friend and I booked this class randomly, so we could do something different, and I gained so much knowledge about real chocolate making! Awesome class and teacher, and I highly recommend class. The chocolate buttons tasting with Prosecco at the end was delightful!!!

Cute demonstration - Store was beautiful but definitely over booked. Took away from the experience. Not enough seats and hard to see. Took a long time for all the people to pour the chocolate into bars then no one could find their correct bar. Not labeled etc. too pricey for what was covered.

Chocolate Making Experience - The chocolate-making presentation was informative, and the presenter clearly knew the process well. I did have some concerns about hygiene—they wore the same gloves throughout, touching various surfaces and utensils, including some that didn’t appear to be sanitized. Everyone washed their hands beforehand, but we all shared the same utensils for pouring and molding chocolate, which didn’t feel very clean. The counter was wiped down, but only the top surface, while chocolate was scraped from the edges too. That said, the tasting portion was enjoyable, with unique flavors like coffee, pepper, mango, and passion fruit. Overall, it was an okay experience, but it could be improved with better food safety practices and more individual participation.

Very informative and cute... - Very informative and cute activity. However it felt over booked and unorganized. The guide was excellent, however it seemed she was being micromanaged by another employee and it was distracting. Because there were so many people, it was hard to see the demo. At the end, when they were handing us back our bars of chocolate, they didn’t label them so some people got other people’s bars, and it was very confusing. I also mentioned an allergy that was overlooked during the tasting.
