About CocoAndré Chocolatier

Established in 2009, CocoAndré is a cherished, woman-owned, Mexican-American family-owned chocolate shop nestled in the heart of Oak Cliff, Texas. The dynamic mother-daughter duo behind this delectable venture, Andrea and Cindy, embarked on their chocolate-making journey following unexpected job layoffs. This twist of fate opened their eyes to a sweet opportunity: the creation of a chocolate shop that would not only honor their Mexican-American heritage but also reflect their Texan spirit as dedicated mothers. Today, CocoAndré Chocolatier stands as a testament to their unwavering dedication and boundless creativity. At its core, this business is about making every guest feel like a cherished member of the family. Cindy aptly sums up their philosophy: "We want you to feel the love of home when you come through our door." Andrea's journey in the world of chocolate began with a role in Dallas's first chocolate shop during the 1980s. What started as a job quickly evolved into a remarkable 25-year career, establishing her as a master chocolatier and the head of production. During this period, her passion for chocolate deepened, driving her to explore her Mexican roots in the world of chocolate. When one door closed, Andrea fearlessly opened another, giving birth to her own chocolate shop. As a seasoned expert in truffle creation and chocolate design, Andrea proudly blends traditional European techniques with contemporary flavors inspired by Mexico. Read their story
