    My take away showing great restraint
    April S.

    Note: Hours are 12-5pm daily, which is not what yelp currently says. Delicious chocolate made from cocoa beans grown in Kauai or Oahu?! Can't get more local than that! So glad to find some delicious chocolate on the North Shore. Reasonably priced and local flavors with just enough room for one customer at a time. Jack was super pleasant and very proud of the grower and story behind the wares. Glad I didn't miss out and stocked up on a few things before heading out tomorrow night (including dark chocolate covered Mac nuts I couldn't find from Lydgate farms at the Hanalei market--grateful to happen upon them here!).

    70% bar!

    My boyfriend and I stopped in today and had such an amazing experience! Jack (the salesman) said we were his first customers from Pennsylvania! He gave us an in-depth story about his wife's chocolatier journey and we were immediately sold. We bought the 70% Powerhouse bar that is entirely grown, picked, fermented, etc. by Irmgard herself who grew the cocoa plants years ago! The bar is amazing and nothing like any other chocolate we've had before. The star of the show for us was their peppermint bark though! It was absolutely divine! It's not like normal peppermint bark that had candy cane pieces in it, and it tastes ever better. I would HIGHLY recommend stopping in to this shop for the chocolate and lovely conversation provided by the salesman!

    Cute lil place right off the main road in Hanalei. Small store front and the staff is friendly and helpful. The chocolate selection is plentiful and lots of flavors. We chose the Dark & Stormy and the Hanalei PBJ. They were both very delicious. I'd definitely go back and try the other flavor options. Locally made. Make sure you plan to eat them right away or have a cooler to prevent melting. Worth trying if you're in the area.

    Hands down the BEST chocolate I've ever tried. The owner was kind and helpful. We tried 3 bonbons and loved all 3. The shop itself is a sweet experience. Affordable locally made chocolate with plenty of options. If you are in Hanalei, GIVE THIS A TRY!!!!

    no matter what the question is, chocolate is the answer

    Came across this cute little shop while strolling around the square. Good selection of chocolate-- I like the marzipan dark choc. The owners opened this shop as their retirement project, and I couldn't love it more! There is also a free library right outside for the chocoholic readers.

    Dark & Stormy, Coconut Truffle and Coffee Drop bon bons were little pieces of heaven. All delicious with the Coffee Drop being my favorite being creamy, rich and bold. The business owner and retailer not only helped me and my husband during our visit, but educated us on the chocolate the family business makes and sells. I wanted to take a few more to take home for gifts and was informed of the ones that could hold up for upto 7 days. The bon bons had to be eaten that day, of course (happily!).

    Tiny Chocolat shop, BIG on delicious, unique, handmade chocolates! Everything is scratch made with local fruits and chocolate from local cacao pods. A friend of mine recently moved to Kauai and when she came back to Portland for a visit, she brought me a box of the dark chocolate covered apple banana sticks. They were out of this world! Dangerously good! When I visited my friend and her husband in Kauai later that year, my first request was "take me to that chocolate shop! Located on the North shore at the far end of the Hanalei shopping center, Chocolat Hanalei is easy to miss. It's a tiny little light green standalone shop. Look for it! Find it! Inside there are glass cases filled with a variety of delicious treats, those with fruit often depending on what is available. The day I was there, they did not have the apple banana sticks so I bought the dark chocolate covered mango. Phenomenal! The contrast of flavors and texture was superb. The chocolate is so smooth. I also bought the dark chocolate covered caramel with sea salt and have yet to open the box. Once opened, they disappear. Fast! Wish they did mail order! Thankfully my friends come back to a Portland a few times a year and for my birthday and Christmas, they know what to bring me!

    Finally after a failed attempt to visit on a last trip, I finally got to try this place that came highly recommended. Sandwich between a couple of other businesses dotting the road in Hanalei is this quant little shack of a place. It's a simple brown square building with a celadon-colored roof bearing "Chocolat Hanalei" in brown cursive. The inside is a tight space of similarly pale-green walls, various photos of cacao in different stages of cultivation, a simple glass counter filled with a variety of hand-made chocolates, and behind that the kindly employee and a refrigeration unit. The air is pleasantly heavy with bittersweet cacao and rain begins to tap on the roof that touches my head. Peppermint bark, pb&j, coconut truffles, coffee, passion fruit, 60% and up dark, all kinds of fine chocolates available. Each little fine treat runs between a buck or two and can be put in boxes of three or six. After a bit of decision making, I decided on some passion fruit domes, and a thing of their 70% extra dark bites. I was handed my two transparent boxes, each filled with three chocolate pieces. The extra dark came as little squares of dark brown goodness topped with a fine line of sea-salt. The domes had a funky tiger-stripe, swirly appearance. Both choices were worth the wait. Simply delicious from both treats. The dark punched my tastebuds with a deliciously bitter, slightly citrusy, but made slightly sweet thanks to the dart bite of salt. The passionfruit lands as my favorite, and not because my love for the fruit possibly gives me a bias. But a pleasantly sweet, milky, dark chocolate shell hides some fantastically tart and mouthwatering passionfruit curd. I wish I could just cram a bunch in my mouth, but alas I would burn a large hole in my wallet and not savor it as much. Chocolat Hanalei is a great little stop that serves charm as well as top-notch chocolate truffles. It's worth a stop. That is if you can catch it open.

    I tried two truffles: the cacao nibs and the lilikoi. Surprisingly, I liked the lilikoi better. The chocolate is definitely high quality, very smooth and beautiful to boot. The shop owner (?) explained how most of the products are locally grown and produced. He was very friendly. This place is a must in Kauai.

    Super cute & small shop. The owner gave us cocca nib samples. There's soo many options to choose from! I got the Dark Chocolate Coffee Cups. I can't wait to try them!

    Wonderful chocolate and a super cute store! We saw this cute store a few times while exploring hanalei and we knew we had to stop is odd. Super friendly staff and delicious chocolates. We couldn't stop eating them and they have lots of varieties. A must stop while in Hanalei!

    You can get OnoPops here.

    The French toast is no joke! Amazing, spectacular, killah lol all the adjectives!…read more Pastries and coffee were 100 too We went after an early morning swim and there was no wait but shortly after (about 8) it got busy! But worth any wait, I promise

    Came to Kauai on a day trip mainly to try out their breakfast food…read more PROS Portions are enormous, so I feel like the price tag isn't too bad. Definitely consider sharing their entrees with another person. We ordered the Churro French Toast and Breakfast Burrito and they were both delicious, but way too big of a portion for one person. Neither of us could finish our food. CONS Barely any seating area inside. There are a few outdoor tables to sit at in the parking lot, but they fill up pretty quickly. We found more success going across the street inside Ching Young Village (the shopping center nearby). This place gets busy, so be prepared to wait. Parking is limited in the actual building and most of them were on a bit of an incline, but Ching Young Village also had several open stalls. While it was delicious, I wish the Churro French Toast tasted more like french toast and less like malasadas. We got the full portion and it was basically like eating 4 malasadas and two scoops of whipped cream cheese frosting. A little too indulgent for a breakfast for our tastes. TIPS Arrive early. We got here at 8:30am on a Saturday and still had to wait over half an hour for our food. Order from the mobile kiosk since it's a shorter line and plan to share with others in your party. Parking and indoor seating is limited, so I recommend ordering your food and then driving across the street to Ching Young Village to eat in one of their outdoor tables.

    My first breakfast in Kaua'i!…read more I came here for brunch with my group of 3 where we split three dishes from the menu. Service was accommodating and attentive while we navigated the menu; they offered recommendation as well which we really appreciated it. To drink, I ordered the cold brew with mac milk. It was refreshing! Not too creamy if that's not your style. Also not too sweet - which I really liked. Friend ordered the banana bread which was good but not stand-out. To eat, we split a garlic shrimp plate, breakfast burrito, and churro French toast. The garlic shrimp was my pick and it was seasoned well. Some parts of the shrimp were a little too mushy but overall good. The best thing on that plate was the mac salad! The breakfast burrito was good but even better with the salsa provided. The star was truly the churro French toast - which is less of a French toast and more like a fried donut? Nonetheless, the sauce/cream it came with was divine and paired amazing with the cinnamon-y crispiness of the bread. A cute little spot in Hanalei worth trying if you find yourself along the north shore for brunch.

    Delicious spot to grab breakfast! This spot gets pretty busy and seating is limited…read more My husband and I got the full order of the churro french toast and the garlic shrimp with rice and mac salad. Garlic shrimps were nicely seasoned and tasty. Churro french toast was so good! Portions are very generous and we were so full at the end of our meal. We found some little ledge seating with 2 chairs by the entrance door. The inside is really cute and they have a variety of stickers and little things you can purchase as a souvenir.
