Located on 167 – 169 Calmette, HCM City, very close to Ben Thanh Market, Maison Marou is said to bring a whole new experience to its guests. “At Maison Marou, we will take you to the voyage where cacao beans are transformed into the world’s most premium chocolate bars and much more,” said Vincent Mourou, co-founder of Chocolate Marou in the opening ceremony of the café.
Vincent and his friend have produced chocolate bars with easily recognizable wrapping in Viet Nam for years. Their chocolate has received many awards for its wonderfully unique flavors and is often regarded as the world’s best chocolate by food experts and chocolate lovers worldwide.

The owners have tried to keep the décor of Maison Marou clean, neat and minimal as much as they can. An antique bean grinder stands right in the entrance, making a proud statement about what this café and Chocolate Marou represent: the love and the passion about making delicious and original chocolate. Visitors will be offered a free tour of the café where they can discover the process of melting and mixing, quality control and hand wrapping to create a perfect product of Chocolate Marou and Maison Marou. All these things are carried out behind a giant glass panel, allowing guests to enjoy a sip of coffee or hot chocolate, at the same time to observe how their orders are freshly prepared.
