We discovered Marsatta Chocolate at the International Chocolate Festival and then discovered they were doing tastings here in Old Town Torrance.We had a great time...learning how they got started and all that goes into their process. Oh yeah....and the chocolate was great! (and also try the cookies)Naomi was the most gracious host and super friendly (that Minnesota hospitality really shined through).The Gardners are doing good things here - you should give it a try!#ApprovedByShep

Oh, you've got to try Marsatta Chocolate! I was lucky enough to meet the chef and, wow, you can just tell he's all in. It's like he's painting with flavors. Each piece of chocolate is more than just a treat; it's like a little artwork you can eat. But listen, you've got to try the lemon bonbons. I know, lemon and chocolate doesn't sound like a match, but it's mind-blowing. The citrusy punch of the lemon perfectly cuts through the rich chocolate, and it's just heaven. Trust me, you're missing out if you don't give these a go!

Insanely delicious chocolate, The "Xocolatl" 100% Cacao is an absolute must try and Naomi and Jeff are so kind and informative.

Marsatta Chocolate is a family owned shop located in Torrance. While the waits are a little longer-- it's because the owners really take the time to build relationships and get to know their customers. They're just the nicest people, who truly care about their craft! I'm honestly not a big chocolate person, but I do love the chocolates here! Everything is handmade every morning and you can really taste the love and quality! One of my favorites is the lemon bon bon. Marsatta Chocolate has become my go-to for special occasions :)

How do I reach you, Marsatta customer service? Your phone # is no longer working, you've been unresponsive to my emails and voicemail, and your July hours aren't listed on your website or "Order Ready for Pick Up" email. During what times can I pick up my order?

Even though they were closed and preparing to move to a new location, they were kind and friendly. They treated me to a sample, and I left with some incredible chocolate bars and confections. Thank you!

Just came from their shop after picking up a box of Nector of Venus and a 100% cacao bar (no added sugar, but not bitter!). Listening to Chef Jeff talk about his creations was a delight. You can tell that he really loves and cares about what he makes. Despite it being the Friday before Valentine's Day (so he was swamped), he still made time to describe what he put into each chocolate and handed out samples. He's a really nice guy who takes pride in his craft. This place is a gem. Looking forward to trying more of their chocolates and gifting them to my loved ones.

Chef is really passionate about his craft and just being in the cozy place you can smell all the aromatic chocolates and coffee.

Staffs here were so nice and helpful...Everybody was friendly! We got 12 pieces of organic strawberries chocolate dip, 12 assorted chocolate box, 100% Cocoa tint and 63% chocolate bar (on Valentine's Day) OMG!!! Strawberry dip was so yummy ... and also the assorted box . All chocolates were homemade here. Sometimes, the line was pretty long... if you know what you want, I recommend to preorder... so for sure you will get them plus it gives them a time to prepare your order in advance... so you don't have to wait too long .

Amazing chocolate, best white chocolate I've ever had. The owner was extremely nice and attentive. Will be back again soon
OMG this chocolate place taste insanely delicious! We sampled a mocha and 100 dark. Both are delicious but of course I have a sweet tooth so the Mocha is definitely my favorite. I also ordered more flavors to try. Salted caramel is delicious too. Honestly every single chocolate here are high quality and super yummy and smooth. Sweetness is perfect because it's mostly dark. I loveee it!!! When I got mine they were $2.50 each piece. But if you want it in a box set then it would be more expensive. I got it for myself to eat so I didn't care for the box. I would totally come back!!!!

dunno much about chocolates, but this is 100000000000x better than hersheys. I go here for their cloves tea and sipping chocolate as well

Imagine that your eccentric hoarder aunt is a chocolate genius, and you have a sense of the vibe here. Other people have mentioned that the chocolate is exceptionally good, but the place seems trashed - this is totally true on both counts. The shop is insanely disorganized and chaotic, and looks like the inside of a storage unit. I called in a special order and they had forgotten to make it. But! They then made it right, and delivered it to me with a few extra goodies, and WOW were they good. Seriously really good. The chocolate here is awesome - they just need to get their act together to really stand out. Prices were also very high, but...that was some seriously good chocolate.

Really great chocolate and the customer service was excellent!!!

Let me start off by saying that the chocolate is easily a 4/5 in terms of taste and quality. However, the cleanliness of this place really made me question if I should have even taken the first bite. If you had children and their room looked like this, they’d be grounded forever. Hopefully this changes.
