Schoko Monk Chocolates in Leh, a cozy and charming establishment run by a single woman, is a hidden gem near Leh Market. Our visit to this delightful chocolate haven left us with a sweet aftertaste, thanks to mouthwatering treats and impeccable cleanliness. Schoko Monk Chocolates offers a cozy and inviting setup that instantly puts you at ease. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it an ideal spot to unwind. Notably, the kitchen and premises were spotless, reflecting a commitment to cleanliness that enhances the overall experience. We indulged in the chocolate and orange cake, along with an assortment of chocolates. The cake was a harmonious blend of rich chocolate and zesty orange flavors, a true delight for the taste buds. The chocolates were equally tempting, with a variety of textures and flavors that left us craving for more. Each bite was a sweet symphony that left us craving for an encore. Whether you're a chocolate aficionado, a dessert lover, or simply someone in search of a delightful indulgence, this place is worth a visit.

A small chocolate cafe run by a woman with a lovely smile. I found it by chance in the evening and visited. I ordered two chocolates and an American coffee. The evening light into the shop and the not-too-sweet chocolate. It's a very cozy shop. Thank you for a wonderful time. I'll come again.

Quaint and artisanal, the chocolates here are delightful! You'll find a mix of interesting and traditional flavour combinations, made using local ingredients. We loved the selection and bought little bags for folks back home!
