Honoka'a Chocolate Store

Bean-to-bar operation in historic Honoka'a with its own cacao orchard on the Big Island. Tours walk you through the orchard, show the processing, and finish with tastings — the rum bar and coconut milk chocolate are worth the detour up the Hāmākua Coast.

Frequently asked questions

What are the hours at the Honoka'a Chocolate Store?

The store on Mamane Street in historic Honoka'a town is open daily from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Hours can change, so it's worth confirming before visiting.

Can I do a tasting at the store?
