CocoAndré is a Mexican-American-family owned chocolate shop in Oak Cliff, Texas. Andrea and Cindy began their journey as entrepreneurs nearly 11 years ago after they were both laid off. Facing this setback allowed them to realize that they could create a chocolate shop of their own and began with less than $1000 between the two. Today, they are proud to have built a business that represents their heritage, culture, and story as Mexican-American-Texan mothers. For Andrea and Cindy operating CocoAndre Chocolatier is about making guests feel like family. As Cindy explains, “We want you to feel the love of home when you come through our door.” In the 1980s, Andrea turned a part time job in Dallas’s first chocolate shop into 25 year career as a master chocolatier and head production. She became passionate about chocolate and that passion led her to learn more about her Mexican roots in chocolate.
