MAYA - A STORY OF PASSION

This is a story of love, of nostalgia, and of a woman who decided to follow her heart… and her taste buds. No one knows when she had the first bite, but chocolates have always fascinated her. Its colour, its texture, the way it felt, the way it melted… but undeniably the way it made her smile. She saw it beyond something edible, to her it was art. A result of a creative process, that began with the planting of the cocoa seeds, and evolving into various shapes of the most delectable options on earth.

She travelled around the world, often finding herself mesmerized in front of some of the most renowned chocolatiers. She returned only to begin a whole new journey. It was a dream to create a brand that was enjoyed by all, that spoke a common language, and that touched every heart. Something pure, with the finest ingredients, made with more than just skill… but with passion. This was the beginning of Maya. You can witness Maya’s sensory delights in a complementary ambience – sensitive and emotional. Every element creates an inviting and relaxing atmosphere.

Maya owes its success to an unmatched insight and understanding of its customers’ palates. It’s in their satisfaction that we have realized that Maya is at par with some of the finest chocolatiers in the world.

Her vision for Maya was to go beyond the palate. She wanted to make a difference, with a part of the profits going to charity… touching the lives of many others. Maya - the chocolate for a better world is indeed a delight with many dimensions.

ABOUT MAYA

Maya La Chocolaterie was conceptualized and introduced by The Living Concepts Bahrain with the aim of creating an international brand that serves the finest chocolates all produced in the Kingdom of Bahrain. From that moment and with the talents of many young Bahraini companies such as award winning Inoui & Neo-Designs the first Maya La Chocolaterie flag-ship store opened its doors to the public in Bahrain 2007, creating a phenomenon of chocolate life style. Such success lead to the franchise of the brand and opening in both (Qatar & KSA) in 2008-09 respectively.

From that moment the brand skyrocketed in the Middle East to be the top Chocolaterie in the region, and what started as one shop in Bahrain today Maya La Chocolaterie can be found in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan and very soon in Lebanon, Kuwait and Oman. With that ambition Maya La Chocolaterie’s aim is to expand within the region and break ground in Europe, Asia, USA, Canada and S. America.
