On World Chocolate Day, celebrated on July 7, there is no shortage of reasons to give in to one of the world's most beloved sweets. Far beyond the traditional bars and bonbons, artisanal chocolate is increasingly valued – thanks to the attention given to the origin of the cocoa, the production processes, and the creativity of the chocolatiers!
In São Paulo, this movement gains strength in chocolate shops that transform the ingredient into gastronomic experiences, with signature recipes and unusual combinations. To celebrate the date, we have gathered addresses that chocolate lovers cannot miss in the city!
Chocolat du Jour is a Brazilian brand of fine bean to bar chocolates, founded in 1987 by Claudia Landmann, whose goal was to make the best truffle in the world. Today, the brand is a benchmark in high-quality chocolates and continues to produce the traditional Truffe du Jour, offered in tins and boxes with different flavor options – including milk, noir, champagne, croquat, 70% cocoa, and blanc. In addition to the truffles, the chocolate bars are a hit, especially the Fantasia, made with brulée chocolate, macadamia nuts, and fleur de sel.
Address: One of the Chocolat du Jour locations is inside CASACOR São Paulo 2026 (Rua Dona Ana Pimentel, 37 - Água Branca, São Paulo).
The artisanal confectionery Petite Fleur celebrates the delicacy and precision of French patisserie with signature recipes and meticulous execution. The house relies on selected ingredients and refined aesthetics to create elegant and balanced sweets.

To get to know the brand's flavors, a good option is the Best-Selling Honey Bread box, which contains ten units in the flavors traditional milk, dulce de leche, brigadeiro, Sicilian lemon, and gianduia.

Hagi is an artisanal nougat and chocolate shop recognized for its bean-to-bar chocolates produced with wild cocoa from the Amazon.

Another highlight is the caramelized chocolate bar with dried banana and cashew nuts — which won the bronze medal at the international Chocolate Awards 2023.
