  Really nice local chocolate shop. Many options of chocolate from different regions of Hawaii to chose from as well as different sweets. They even have a cafe. Pretty expensive, but it’s worth it for the specialty of it. Would recommend giving it a visit if in Hilo.

  Yum! The iced mocha is insanely delicious, silky smooth and flavorful. Definitely a lot sweeter than my normal daily coffee, but I'd come back for it as a treat. My 6 yr old was obsessed with the frozen hot chocolate. My husband got the cold brew and added the chocolate for flavor and loved it. Wonderful little place! Definitely worth the stop in Hilo town.

  I recently purchased their premium single-district dark chocolate, priced at $12 for a 63g bar. However, the chocolate had an unusual dust-like and moldy taste that I’ve never encountered before. While I appreciate the local chocolate factory, I would not have given such a poor review if the chocolate had been acceptable, but not exceptional. This chocolate should not be sold and should never have passed quality control. I’m sorry but this is not acceptable. EDIT: I’m not sure how to interpret the owner’s response. If it was meant as a dig at my reviewer profile, that’s disappointing. I leave honest reviews, and if you look at my profile the vast majority are positive. I also had two other people taste the chocolate without telling them my opinion, and both immediately spat it out. Instead of focusing on the reviewer, I would encourage you to take a closer look at the product and quality control.

  Best iced mocha I’ve had in a while. Super chocolatey without being overly sweet, and the coffee still came through with great balance!
