Chocolate Cafes in Hawaii

Big Island

Bean-to-bar from their own 3-acre Puna estate, with guided tours that walk the cacao and coffee fields before the factory. Stephen runs it personally — the kind of place where sourcing starts at your feet.

Big Island

A 1,000-acre working farm in Hilo along the Wailuku River, growing cacao, coffee, macadamia, and tropical spices together on one property. Tours walk the fields and include a private Rainbow Falls overlook; the gift shop carries their farm-made chocolate, coffee, and spices.

Maui

Upcountry Maui farm where cacao and coffee grow side by side — the tour moves through both crops from orchard to finished product, showing how growing conditions and processing shape what ends up in the cup. You finish by grinding local cacao with spices to make a traditional steeped drink.

Big Island

Working cacao farm in Kealakekua with 1,000 trees and bean-to-bar chocolate made from Big Island–grown cacao. Farm tours walk the 8-acre grounds, then move straight into tasting what those trees actually produce.

Big Island

Certified organic since 1977, this 5-acre Kona farm grows cacao, coffee, and mac nuts on-site — tours walk the orchard from blossom to bean, then close with a single-origin tasting made from what you just saw growing.

Oahu

Farmer and maker in one operation — the cacao in their bars grew right on this North Shore Oahu property. Tours walk the fields where flavor actually starts, and the café makes a few hours here easy to fill.

Big Island

Hāmākua Coast cacao that has been grown, fermented, and sun-dried on this farm for 25 years — the flavor is built before it ever hits a roaster. The 3-hour seed-to-bar tour ends with you making chocolate from those same beans.

Big Island

A farm-to-bar maker with its own cacao and coffee in Holualoa, Kona — tours of the production process are available so you can trace the bar back to the farm. The factory store in Kailua-Kona adds a full cafe and a 35-seat, 21-and-over cocktail lounge.

Oahu

The Waialua Coffee & Chocolate Mill sits directly behind this shop, and the free tour lets you follow cacao from the trees to the roast. Bars run up to 70% Waialua chocolate, with roasted cacao beans also available if you want to taste Oahu's North Shore at the source.

Maui

Kupa'a Organic Farm grows cacao and coffee in Kula's volcanic soil, where the cool breezes set the beans' flavor before any chocolate-making begins. Private tours walk you through both orchards, into a hands-on chocolate-making session, and across 6–7 varieties — Maui-grown next to single-origins from around the globe.

Oahu

Cacao trees on the Waialua grounds supply the mill a few steps away — the tour shows both farm and process, with free samples of the freshly roasted coffee and chocolate and an Extra Dark 70% among the bars. All of it grown and milled in Waialua on Oahu’s North Shore.

Big Island

Growing their own cacao in Pahoa since 2013, they keep the full bean-to-bar path on-island — 100% Hawaii-grown, Hilo café to Kona shop. Farm tours at Kainaliu Hale take you into the orchards where the flavor actually begins.
