“The suspense is terrible, I hope it will last.”
– Willy Wonka
Sorry, Willy. The suspense has come to an end! The local chocolate factory known for its award-winning sweets, Monsoon Chocolate, is officially opening its new location at the Copenhagen plaza, 3630 E. Fort Lowell Rd.
On Saturday, June 10, the shop and cafe will be open from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monsoon Chocolate shared the following about the exciting developments:
“We’re treating the summer like a ‘soft opening’ phase, so we can get into the flow of service. If you’ve been to our previous cafe, you can definitely expect to find old favorites. But in Cafe 2.0 we have lots of new goodies to share! Then in early fall, we’ll expand hours, increase market offerings, and add some savory menu items.”
Beginning this Saturday, the hours of operation will be 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. from Wednesday – Sunday.
This new location will now be the chocolate factory’s cafe/retail experience while the La Buena location on 22nd Street will act as the smaller retail-only factory store and gift shop. The size of the new space allows more beverages to flow, pastries to shine, ice cream to savor, and indoor seating for the ultimate relaxation.
The midtown area has been adding new local spots over the years, giving Le Rendez-vous and the sports bar, The Depot, some company. Tucson Hop Shop celebrated its seventh-anniversary last year, Ciao Down moved in right next door, and Hello Bicycle & Cafe is just a couple of blocks away, serving up hot coffee and select baked goods like stroopwafels from Honey & Co.
Monsoon Chocolate’s new spot is located at 3636 E. Fort Lowell Rd. and the original spot is located at 234 E. 22nd St. For more information, visit monsoonchocolate.com and follow Monsoon Chocolate on Facebook and Instagram.
