Love the delicious chocolates here. They suggested we try a sample as we were perusing the shop. Milk chocolate was yum, but the 70% Dark Chocolate was fabulous.Loved the fact that they were Locally sourced and produced here in the big island.Beautiful packaging. Makes nice gifts to take back home either for yourself, or as gifts for loved ones.

Great local chocolate shop and cafe. Friendly staff and owners. They offer chocolate samples too! Also have local coffee, gift items made locally in their shop.Had the frozen hot cocoa, amazing! They have many varieties of delicious chocolate available. One of my favorites is the Big Island Dark Chocolate bar from the Hamakua District.My husband and I had the opportunity to take the cocoa farm tour which was very interesting and learned a lot. Our guide Matt was very knowledgeable and shared with us the process for getting the cocoa beans ready for chocolate making. We were able to sample different chocolate that Puna Chocolate makes from the different districts. One fun item we tried was when the cacao pod is opened the cocoa seeds are covered with a white sweet tasting fruit flavor.Would recommend if doing the cocoa farm tour to wear good shoes and bring some rain gear since it may rain while on the tour. They do provide some umbrellas. It rained on and off our tour.

All things quality chocolate! Very nice atmosphere and good chocolate with lots of descriptive details. Would recommend the $7 chocolate flight you get 10 samples and get to try chocolate from across the island! However be aware they are extremely strict about masks and you have to wear them when being served at your table.

Very unfriendly on how they enforce the mask rules (btw I am triple vaccinated and fully support the masks) - you can buy their expensive drink but can’t even have a sip of it in store unless you sit in that spot and not in some other spot, even though you are the only customer in the store and are located 20 feet away from everyone. And if you sit where they say to sit you still are 20 feet away from everyone. Anyways, no worries I can always go pay $5 for coffee somewhere else. This place does not need business I guess. Many other nice coffee shops around here!

Delicious single origin Chocolat from all over Big Island. Other chocolate goodies like coconut and macadamia nut. It is expensive, but you are supporting local. Great local crafts, some that highlight recycling and ocean plastic turned into souvenirs. Beautiful local art.

SO good! I had the ube frozen chocolate with dark chocolate instead of white chocolate. Super delicious and the staff was super nice and helpful in explaining everything

Superb dessert, all with locally grown cacao. What is there not to love? Lilikoi Cheesecake drink was phenomenal!

If you are a chocolate lover, this place is a must! Well made craft beverages (hot and cold) with locally grown chocolate, coffee, and tea. Incredibly friendly staff will guide choices to your palate.

Rude staffEdit: There you go again! Your response is as irrelevant as it is irreverent. We were wearing masks and did not poop in your store. The only bad tasting brown stuff we left behind in the store were your chocolates.PS - Lilikoi is not off season. Not for another few months.PPS - Why would you have the same response to the comment I mistakenly posted for your Illinois store? Did I use the restroom in your Illinois store or your Hawaii store? Try harder if you want to lie.

This place is really wonderful. It’s like a little jazz chocolate bar almost. Music and chocolate can’t go wrong. Some of the menu items I’ve tried are delicious. They even randomly have cbd dog treats so your pup can chill out a bit. I’ve heard the owner will eventually open up a secret space underground underneath and below the depths of the restaurant where you can buy the real deal adult coco.

Yummy dark mocha! Cute store with nice artwork for sale.

A sweet place to get locally made gifts and an incredible place to get a mocha (single estate bean and local cocoa, mmm)! Very friendly and helpful staff who were happy to support my obsession with cutting down on my trash making.I am posting photos of a local crafter available here that blew my mind. They upcycle plastics and rubber to create useful trinkets. This wasnt the only eye catching work here, but I am a total sucker for someone who diverts material from landfills.

Shout out to Liz for making an experimental latte drink for me inspired by their cinnamon cookie chocolate bar.Delicious samples, souvenirs and obviously chocolate. Would come here everyday if I could.

Customer service is AMAZING.For a second I thought the chocolate would be too strong but after trying some samples, it was amazing. Since the chocolate was delicious I order the Frozen Hot Chocolate... it was soooo good. Perfect amount of chocolate.

Everything in this shop is cool from the coffee to the art to the chocolate. All of the coffee packaging has the coolest artwork and is locally grown. We could have bought everything there.

What a delightful treat to stumble upon in downtown Hilo! Best cup of hot chocolate EVER, and such friendly, uber-helpful service. I have fingers crossed they’ll eventually open a shop in SC.

Soooo YUM! I took my carload of teenagers after a day of exploring Hilo and this was a great treat. We got Paniolo Mocha (iced), aloha coconut mocha (iced) - this was the best imo, PB banana (close 2nd), and 2 frozen hot chocolates. The paniolo Mocha was a bit spicy but still very good. I didnt try the frozen hot chocolates, but the ones who got them enjoyed them. Great little shop. Friendly staff - they answered all our questions and were very helpful. Also I got chocolate bars and some flour sack towels with Hawaiian designs. The only pic I took there was of their cute white board sign. Whoops!

Had brownie and chocolate chip cookie. Both are really good!

Great shop with local chocolate options and a few other souvenirs! Very pleased that we stopped in! I was able to get some chocolate for myself and some pet safe dog treats as well!

Good coffee along with several Hawaiian made gifts that were really interesting. Nice place to grab a cup of Hawaiian grown coffee and some trinkets to take home.

Delicious coffee and chocolate drinks. Excellent service as well. Tried the Loka Moka and Horchaka! Delicious! Miss Hawaii already...

Staff was helpful and kind. Our flight of chocolates had really interesting flavors and they gave us great guidance on enjoying the flavors.

What an incredible space. Delicious drinks, chocolate, and its beautiful and serene inside. Their retail space seems more like a beautiful art gallery, and they even have an educational and interesting infographic about how they make chocolate and how their process is slightly different. I highly recommend checking this place out and buying some chocolate and Cacao Nectar while youre at it.

Great hot chocolate. Weird, static buzzing from speaker in the environment. Aesthetics are otherwise bright and clean. No access to their restroom. Again, great chocolate! Definitely come here and clearly dont come to stay.

Chocolate is amazing, atmosphere is AWESOME, and the staff were so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Great selection of things to try!

Very friendly employee, nice frozen hot cocoa!

Super nice owner, very knowledgeable and helpful picking stuff out!

Nice chocolate shop in downtown Hilo, loved the mocha coffee..

Very helpful staff and artisans. Amazing variety of options to choose from when making a project. Chocolate varieties are endless. Craftsmanship is superb. Big name/ high price chocolates dont even compare to what is sold here. WELL WORTH stopping And buying some here!!

My new favorite place besides my boyfriend in hilo

This place makes my day every time! Locally made coffee, chocolate and handcrafts. Explore the island in one store:)

Really high quality chocolate, albeit overpriced. I had the iced Aloha latte and it was so rich and delicious. Service was quite friendly too.Update: I have not changed my review above, but will subtract one more star for the ungracious and unprofessional response from the owner. To the owner - learn to accept a good review when you get one.

Unique chocolates! The tasting is a must for any chocolate fans.)

I got the paniolo chocolate, iced. It was great, my daughter got a brownie which she enjoyed. The shop has a nice ambience and all sorts of little local made knick knacks.

The chocolate was amazing and the staff was very friendly

Pricey. But thats any place similar to this. Had a lot of variety of chocolate bars, chocolate dipped stuff, some crafted things like lamps and earrings. A good place to find a snack or thing to gift.

Great finds for local artist and yummy chocolate.

Lots of varieties of chocolates, hot cocoa, tea, and more. All from different local regions. Great spot to pick up gifts. They also have other crafts for sale.We didn’t try the coffee shop, but it looked like there were lots of great drinks.

Delicious chocolate, made locally. Ready to eat, drink, or gift.

We loved their sublime single-origin chocolates (cacao grown on farms in various Big Island regions) and returned here multiple times for their bars.

Good selection of chocolate and some great chocolate drinks.

They moved which was good to know because we went to original space and thought they were gone. Nope just a few blocks away opposite side of the street. They sell amazing chocolate, packaged coffee, coffee drinks and local items crafted here love this place and the chocolate is a must try and we love to take it home. Love the new digs.

Love this place! The frozen hot chocolate is a must! The chocolates are delicious! The sheet cake is fabulous! Fun local artists stuff as well!

Friendly staff and wonderful chocolate

Heavenly explosion of the best things on earth- coffee and chocolate

Surprised to be the second reviewer and the first to leave comments (the first person just gave stars).Its an interesting chocolate shop. Not a lot of products but their pure Hawaii chocolate is not only very good but one of the few places that you can get chocolate grown and processed in the USA. They say due to the small scale of their cacao farm they avoid high volume production. But what they have - nibs, hot chocolate mix and dark chocolate - are all very good.They also have an interesting side business selling exotic chopping boards, laser cut wood craft and other wood household items.

The vegan spicy cocoa ice cream was incredible

Workers were very friendly and informative not only about the chocolate, but about the surrounding area. Will defintely visit again!

Wonderful frozen hot chocolate

Local chocolate products in a great space, and they even serve a few drinks! Love the merch from local artists as well. Pricing is great and staff is very nice and knowledgeable, but also let me wander around aimlessly for 30 minutes without hassling me :D will be back and buy gifts.

They sell really good locally produced chocolate and drinks here. The chocolate is pricey, but they let you sample them so that you can be confident in your choices. The clerk was very friendly and provided a lot of information about the local chocolate production.

Great little shop. Within Hilo revitalized downtown area, shop and owners are welcoming. Chocolate is 100% Hawaiian and really awesome. We got the 5 for 20 squares: dark 70% and 90%, sea salt with cashews, crispy rice and milk chocolate and honey wine berry (my favorite). Plenty of other local gifts and crafts. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality and origin.

Great chocolate.

Delicious frozen hot chocolate drinks on two out of three visits. (The second visit was good, just not great.)Their chocolate bars are so good-if you like REAL chocolate rather than colored sugar wax that is sold as chocolate these days.My mother-in-law loves the mocha hot chocolate mix to add to her coffee.The employees are all very friendly.Beautiful local crafts for sale within the store.We always make a point of stopping by here when we come over to Hilo. Buy local!!

Amazing! The best chocolate on the island!

I bought my first ukulele here- solid mango wood. Ben, Josh and Kristen were super helpful. Kristen even tuned my ukulele. Prices seem pretty affordable relative to the 2 other stores I visited.

Excellent chocolate and coffees. Beautiful ukeleles, lanterns and cutting boards. Interesting laser cut toys and earrings as well as prepackaged coffee and cocoa. The service was top notch as well.

Chocolate, cup of java in Hi.Very nice ! Big island wonderful! Hilo town such a great place to get lost.See you on The Big island!🤙

Amazing

Cute little shop in downtown Hilo. I cant rate the chocolate highly however as it was too dark for me. Even their milk options are 50% cocoa. If you love dark chocolate, you will love this place. Would be awesome if they could make a milkier choc for those who dont like dark.

Fun place, coffee and chocolate

Good place to buy local chocolate and get good coffee and chocolate drinks.

Visited the Puna Chocolate Company on Friday. The shop is filled with all sorts of treats.

Neat lil shop. They carry a lot of wooden products also. I did like the honey products they carried. Nice store with friendly staff.

Good chocolate and coffee and a great place for quality souvenirs with a more authentic Hawaiian cultural connection.

Good selection of chocolate and they even serve limited food items.

They have some neat stuff and good tasting samples.

Chocolate, coffee and more on downtown Hilo. We stopped and bought chocolate coffee and chocolate espresso beans. Chocolate is expensive but delicious. They have local coffee to bring home bought a few

👍😋 Unique chocolate flavors. European sipping chocolate. Handmade Ukuleles.Guidepost.us

I only go to Hilo once a month but I make it a point to stop in and flash back to being a kid again. Everything about the store, the selection, and the staff are all part of a wonderful experience in Hilo.

Pretty cool little store. It had a mix of artisanal chocolate, drinks, and art to buy, which was neat.

Very delicious and gentle man was very helpful ☺

This chocolate is on another level and it is helping revitalize hawaiian agriculture. Its pricey but worth it. You can order online from their website.

Good chocolate but at $60 a pound it’s not worth it.

❤

Lots of variety. And chocolate. What more do you need?

Wonderful frozen cocoa drink

Love chocolate so much

Very friendly. Good chocolate!

Tasty

Great chocolate

The real thing

Friendly staff, l have to say the chocolate samples were nice. recommended place when in downtown Hilo.
