Absolute hidden gem. Then run tours of their nearby farm and you can see the kitchen where they make the chocolate. Lovely small scale operation. Really friendly people.

Amazing! We booked the farm tour and do not regret it at all! Tom (the owner) shared so much knowledge while on the tour, walked us through his farm and we got to taste some delicious chocolate (they got vegan chocolate too)!
They’re a local, sustainable and family owned business! Definitely recommending everyone to tour the farm and see their shop. Plus you can buy chocolate to take home!

This little store is a gem in Hilo! You can get delicious, locally-made chocolate, chocolate-covered nuts, and try samples of chocolate! It doesn't get more local than this: You can see the chocolate being made right behind the counter. Plus, the cacao coms from a farm right outside of Hilo. I highly recommend taking the tour at the farm; for $30 per person, it is definitely worth it to see the entire cacao process and learn about sustainable farming. I was impressed by the owner/manager's knowledge and enjoyed learning about Hawaii-grown produce.

Amazing chocolate!! It smells incredible in there. The cacao is grown less than 3 miles away! That's really special.
I got to meet Tom while he was roasting beans and it was dope to see part of the process.
I love the little patio.

The owner was there and I got to try 3 yummy chocolates from the samples on the counter. I loved all three:
70% Dark Chocolate
Spicy (nice spicy 🌶 kick)
Ka’u (contained Ka’u coffee nibs)
I then went on to buy 2 chocolate bars, macadamia nuts and Coconut Truffles.

My husband and I went on the cacao tour and it was so educational and wonderful! We left with a deep appreciation of cacao cultivation and chocolate making. You’ll also get to sample different types of chocolate after the tour, which was a great bonus! The owner Tom and his staff are full of aloha and take pride in producing quality Hawaiian chocolate.
I bought a bunch of chocolate after the tour but ate them all, so I bought more online to have them shipped to me in California. Their shipping is incredibly fast—ordered on a Monday morning and it arrived by Tuesday early afternoon! I’m looking forward to gifting these to friends and family for the holidays!!
Looking forward to visiting again!

We did the chocolate tour and tasting. We visited the farm and saw the cocoa trees, the fruit taste is pretty interesting. We also saw the pineapples and bananas plantations. We liked that it was laid back and artisanal. Our guide told us some Interesting stories of the island and the chocolate. We then went back to their store in town to see the process and try some samples. We loved to support a small local company in our vacation.

Stopped in here for coffee and ended up buying a bunch of their chocolates too! Got an iced Tiger Shark latte and for me it was perfect! It’s definitely on the sweeter side but that’s how I typically take my coffee. They take card and you can watch them make the chocolate as it’s a cozy shop.

A very cool place! Talked with the owners for a bit, nice people! They explained how they make their chocolate and it's quite interesting to learn about. We had a few of their chocolate samples, they were all quite good!
Nice people, cool enviornment, and great products!

Amazing chocolate and service. I highly recommend the dark chocolate lava bar. Wonderfully spicy hot chocolate. The proprietors are especially engaging and helpful. I highly recommend a visit.
