The employee here was amazing, she was very helpful and gave delicious recommendations. The chocolates we bought were delicious as well. The French drinking chocolate was decadent. The store was also beautifully laid out and very clean. Would love to come back!!

This is such a lovely, warm, and unique shop! So. Much. Chocolate. You can find chocolate from nearly every corner of Earth! The selections made me smile and gasp (in a good way). Norwegian brown cheese chocolate (brunost fans, IYKYK), marionberry chocolate from Oregon, lingonberry and reindeer lichen chocolate, and more! Kala (the owner) has created a must-visit destination for chocolate lovers. Oh, and make sure you get a shot of drinkable chocolate! Run, don't walk to The Chocolate Dispensary!

First Impressions: I stumbled upon this small chocolate shop in Echo Park and really loved the vibe. ​The Setup: What makes it so unique is that it actually has a coffee shop inside, so you can pair high-end craft chocolate with your caffeine fix. ​The Plan: I was just passing through and didn't buy anything this time, but based on the cozy atmosphere and the menu, I will definitely try it next time I am in the neighborhood. ​Verdict: A charming little hidden gem that combines a chocolate boutique with a cafe. It is officially on my list to come back and taste the menu

Wonderful chocolate experience!! they have so many chocolates from all around the world, all kinds of different countries and all kinds of different flavors. My favorite in the drink menu was the French hot chocolate sort of like a shot of espresso. It was absolutely creamy and amazing. The vibes of this place is very cozy and like a coffee shop or should I say a chocolate shop? The workers were very friendly and kind. a great experience overall.

Best Cacao and Chocolate in LA. Chocolate Dispensary is my new obsession. Their cacao is the best I’ve had in the city — deep, velvety, with such a rich texture. Chocolate selection is wild: single-origin bars, bean-to-bar makers from all over, drinking chocolate, ceremonial cacao — the kind of shelf you could explore for weeks and still find something new. The owners are the secret sauce — super friendly, zero pretension, and they actually love guiding you to the right bar or blend. You get smart recommendations, fun tastings, and a vibe that feels like a neighborhood gem, not a boutique. If you’re into chocolate (or just good taste), this is the spot. Perfect for gifts, perfect for a treat, worth the drive.
