CASA XOCOLAT
Xocolat is the first homegrown chocolate bar in the country that provides a feel of a second home where guests can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere among friends.
It offers home cooked comfort food with a Xocolat twist; unique hot and cold chocolate beverages; as well as freshly baked cakes and pastries from its small batch bakery.
For the proponents behind Casa Xocolat, Katipunan is a curious environment, with its unique mix of the academe and residents making it extraordinary. It is a community that honors and celebrates diversity.
Proudly enough, Xocolat has successfully embedded itself in the counter culture of Katipunan without straying from its origins.
Casa Xocolat opened in 2007—initially a small café that sat 10 guests. It has since expanded to a full scale restaurant serving guests from the academe, offices, residents and any xocoholic that would want a taste and feel of its chocolate heaven oasis. Apart from serving the ultimate hot chocolate, Xocolat create favorites that were uniquely Xocolat. Xoco Chicken pasta (cream-based pasta with cacao rub chicken and grated dark chocolate); Xocolat Pork Belly (infused choice pork belly cut fried to a crisp and served with the addicting cacao bagoong sauce); Xocolat Spiced Chicken (flavorful chicken in a dark chocolate spiced sauce) became instant favorites. To this day, Casa Xocolat enjoys the loyalty and patronage of this community. In the midst of a price sensitive student market and a discerning residential population spoiled for options, Casa Xocolat still endures.
