Chocolate Shops Open Late in Honolulu
Honolulu visitors looking for after-dinner chocolate, often returning from a dinner near Waikiki.
Most Hawaiian chocolate makers operate on retail hours — open during the day, closed by 5 or 6pm. A handful in Honolulu, however, stay open into the evening, doubling as bars or after-dinner tasting destinations.
This guide covers Honolulu-area chocolate makers and tasting bars open at least one night a week after 7pm. All are reachable by rideshare or short walk from Waikiki and downtown hotel zones.

Start with access
Farm and factory tours are the biggest separator. Book appointment-only farms first, then fill the day with walk-in tasting rooms.
Choose by location
Prioritize the stop that fits your route first, then compare tour access, tasting availability, and product focus.
Compare the product focus
Some makers are strongest for bars, others for cacao tea, bonbons, drinks, or farm-grown ingredients.
Check shipping and heat
For gifts, confirm mainland shipping, warm-weather cutoffs, and whether the maker sells gift-ready assortments.
Mānoa Chocolate & Wine Bar
Oahu
Bean-to-bar factory in Kailua with farm partnerships at Kamananui and Honoliʻi — they help cultivate the cacao, not just source it. Factory and farm tours trace the full chain from three distinct Hawaiʻi origins.
Lonohana Estate Chocolate Factory
Oahu
They grow their own cacao on Oahu's North Shore — 14 to 20 acres of it — and process it into bar chocolate at their Honolulu factory, the whole chain in-house since 2009. Factory tours and cacao farm visits are both bookable.
Mānoa Chocolate
Oahu
Bean-to-bar maker sourcing cacao from Oʻahu and Hawaiʻi Island farms — some partnerships run seed-to-bar at Kamananui and Honoliʻi. The Waikīkī shop lets you taste through single-origin bars by region before you buy.
Lonohana Chocolate Tasting Bar
Oahu
The cacao comes from their own 14-acre farm on O'ahu's North Shore, made into bars at the Kakaako factory — estate-grown, start to finish, since 2009. Factory tours and cacao farm visits are both available if you want to follow the whole chain.
