4 spots for chocolate on Maui, to taste and shop in person.

Maui
Bean-to-bar maker on Maui sourcing cacao from three distinct Hawaiian microclimates — Kona, Oahu's North Shore, and Hilo — and turning each into its own single-origin bar. The Kahului shop near the airport carries a mac nut dark with sea salt, cacao tea, and roasted nibs.

Maui
Cacao has been growing on this East Maui farm since 1978, and the chocolate goes from branch to bar without leaving the property. The farm shop is a rare chance to taste single-origin Maui terroir at the source.

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.

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.
