When it comes to sweets, cakes are my weakness and much more if they contain chocolate. —They are my favorites. I love when I get a place where I can taste delicious portions in a pleasant environment and I found that in "La Chocolateria" in Maturín city, Venezuela¹.
¹Despite the crisis, in Venezuela there are numerous entrepreneurs who continue to offer quality services with products available in the National market.
La Chocolateria
It is a Cake Shop that offers desserts of a large variety flavors with considerable portions. One of his member commented me this business started as a small place where her owner prepared some cake for sale and due to success obtained, she undertook the expansion to what is now a Restaurant and Cake Shop with more than 20 employees in charge.
Restaurant and Cake Shop?
Yes, although they are physically divided, it is the same company. You can easily choose to pass the restaurant, eat or not and ask the waiter for dessert menu without having to go to cake area or if you only want to consume sweets, as was my choice, I recommend going directly to cakes display counter, where you can select the flavor of your preference.
I went with some friends, we entered to the Cake Shop to see what they offered and then we occupied a table in terrace area, where we made the order to waiter.

Prices
Prices reflected in the menu are expressed in Bolivars, which is currency in circulation in the country. As a reference, average price per cake ration is 3 USD. I considered the portion size great!
