A garden cafe set back from the noisy main road, Chocolatti has been a Candolim institution for years. The handmade chocolates are the headline act — particularly the dark chocolate with sea salt and the chilli truffles — but the brownies, cakes, and proper coffee draw a steady crowd of regulars in the morning.
Seating is on a shaded verandah and in a small garden behind. It is the right place to escape the beach for an hour and read in the shade with a cold coffee.
