Best caracola de chocolate in Caracas
As I’ve mentioned before, Caracas has an abundance of bakeries – some great and some just okay. I have a few that I go to for certain items (each has a specialty) and when I want a chocolate/croissant pastry, also known as the caracola de chocolate, I go to Pasteleria St. Honore’s. This is the same bakery where I bought my husband’s birthday tart back in February and because they seem to always serve fresh pastries, it’s the closest thing to an authentic French patisserie that I’ve found here.
The coffee there is not the best, but there’s another place right across the street called Cafe Arabica (which I will write about soon) that supposedly has the best in all of Venezuela. This was my breakfast this morning…
Another nice thing about St. Honore is the eating area. It is surrounded by commercial buildings and traffic, but the entire outdoor area is covered with trees and plants and somehow you feel like you get away. So much so, that I can actually get a good 30 minutes of reading my Kindle while there.
Obviously one of my favorite places in Caracas, St. Honore continues to get my stamp of approval

Heyy its great to find someone living in Venezuela and having a great time, I am new in Venezuela and I am starting to get the hang of things.
I have a question do you have any idea where I can get some good bedding and bed sheets?
Thank you
Ha! Just like most things, you have to really look around. I, unfortunately, have resorted to picking up those type of items when we make trips to the states. The places that do have what I’m looking for are extremely expensive and I refuse to pay 3x the value of something when I have another option. The only store that comes to mind is Ama de Casa – don’t know if there are any near you…
