Welcome to Chocolate Maya, a unique chocolate shop located in Santa Barbara California. Customers line up inside the shop to view an enchanting array of decadent dark chocolate, creamy milk chocolate, and delicate white chocolate truffles and bon bons. On shelves near the truffle display you’ll find a wide selection of chocolate bars, spicy and traditional cocoa, and a variety of other chocolate and chocolate-dipped confections.

Swiss-born owner Maya Schoop-Rutten scours the world looking for pure, luscious chocolates made with organic cocoa purchased from ethical plantations. Maya’s passion for travel and high-quality chocolate has taken her directly to the plantations where the cacao beans are grown. Each chocolate in her shop has its own story.

In addition to a fine collection of organic and fair trade chocolate, Maya creates her own delicious chocolates using the highest quality organic chocolate, creams, butter, spices, purees, nuts, and fresh herbs. Each chocolate is carefully hand dipped and decorated—no mass production—and sold in environmentally-friendly packaging.

You can also stop by for a shot of thick voluptuous European-style hot chocolate. This is the real thing, guaranteed to delight your taste buds and warm your heart.

Be sure to ask Maya about purchasing specialty gifts for parties, graduations, weddings, corporate specials and holidays—chocolates packaged in beautiful custom-made boxes.
