It’s the holiday season and if you’re looking for something to leave out and about for Santa Claus (or your hungry parents), Monsoon Chocolate has just the thing.

Speaking of which, the local chocolate factory was recently mentioned in Eater’s holiday gift guide. Eater shared that “their beautiful shapes make them just as good for displaying at the holiday party as eating” and we couldn’t agree more.

This week, Monsoon Chocolate also surprised folks by reopening its “Factory Gift Shop” at 234 E. 22nd St. — the location had temporarily closed during the summer to focus on the new location on Fort Lowell Road. At the moment, the 22nd Street spot is open from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Wednesday – Friday.

The original location is inside the renowned La Buena Tortilleria building, nestled in the Santa Rita Park neighborhood just south of downtown Tucson. The gift shop has all of Monsoon’s retail items like its award-winning bon bons and chocolate bars.

However, if you’d like a beverage or pastry, mosey over to the Cafe+Market at Fort Lowell and Dodge Boulevard.

Monsoon Chocolate Café + Market is located at 3630 E. Fort Lowell Rd. and is open 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Tuesday-Sunday. The original location can be found at at 234 E. 22nd St. For more information, visit monsoonchocolate.com and follow Monsoon Chocolate on Instagram.
