This place is so good! I recommend the shakes because they're a good size and easy to carry around when you're walking in the mall. I like their gelato too - they give you a free cookie in addition to the gelato but I noticed when you get it it's really frozen so it's hard to eat. Shake is the one to get for sure. On the other hand - their stuff makes great gifts so I recommend them :) read more

This is my go to shop when I need a gourmet packed box of chocolate toffee coated pistachios & hand rolled & dusted in cocoa powder dark chocolate truffles. A friend of mines, got me hooked on these dark chocolate truffles way back in 2006 & I must say they are truly amazingly delicious. I am very disciplined & will only buy 6 truffles at the most... & I'll keep it in refrigerator to last me a few days. The store is always clean & the candies are all beautifully presented. read more

Walking around Kahala Mall and I stumbled upon this chocolate shop. Whimsical decor and decorated chocolates and more for every occasion. Great for party favors and gift giving. Chocolate made here, as well as imported from abroad. They even had chocolate covered fresh strawberries! Yummy. Adorable decorated cookies are too cute to eat. Service was nice and if you have any questions, they are willing to answer! read more

Diamond Head Chocolate in Kahala Mall has Oahu's best chocolate and service. I went in intending to buy 9 dipped Oreo cookies, but there were a few on the shelf. Upon asking the awesome staff, he went in the back and brought out Oreos that were dipped recently. Awesome service, great chocolate, and classy packaging. DHC is my go-to place for high quality gifts, or a treat for me. read more

I miss Godiva but Diamond Head Chocolate offers a good selection of chocolate! I love when they offer chocolate covered strawberries as they use real chocolate and not candy melts like other popular stores. I also love their chocolate covered fortune cookies, you can customize the message :) read more

My mainland aunty wanted dark chocolate (only) covered macadamia nuts. I called to place two orders for pick up a few days later. My items were ready as expected. Great quality items here. Great customer service. Efficient ordering and delivery. read more

Always come here for the delicious chocolate covered fortune cookies. Did a custom order recently. There was a minor snafu and they immediately fixed it. Great product and superb service. A local company worthy of our support! read more

I was truly disappointed with the taste of the chocolate. Very dull and basic, as a comparison to other chocolate companies, even the most generic ones. I spent an agonizingly stressful 2 hours to find even one location via public transportation, and I paid far too much for chocolates I was led to believe were authentic to Hawaii. Complete waste of $25, complete waste of time, complete waste of energy, would NEVER recommend to ANYONE visiting!!! read more

Found this little chocolate shop nestled between Subway and Pearls Kitchen in Kahala Mall. According to the worker who helped us the shop has been there for a Couple of years. Well we did pick up a few pieces of chocolates to try. We had the chocolate dipped oreos. Both white and milk chocolate. For me the white chocolate cookie had a slight edge in taste. Also tried the dipped cherry. The rich dark chocolate encasing the cherry was delicious, but overwelmed the taste of the cherry. Quality chocolate and friendly service. Go and try the many offerings. read more

I just received some chocolate covered Matcha fortune cookies and strawberry shortbread as a gift from a client. WOW! The chocolate was phenomenal...I ate it all in one sitting! I am normally a See's candy fan, but this week I will be making a B-line to their store at Kahala to get more of those strawberry shortbread chocolates! read more

The chocolate covered strawberries were so fresh and delicious! I was craving some, and this place popped up, so I called and they have so many different options too! read more

What a surprise to see a chocolate candy store in Kahala Mall. And what timing on my discovery, Valentine's Day! Diamond Head Chocolate company is located close to the Cookie Corner. They have an assortment of chocolate for the chocolate lover. They sell individual chocolates but they also sell chocolate covered fruits. Not sure if it was a Valentine's special but they had chocolate covered strawberries. This store was definitely ready for Valentine's Day. I got the six pack of chocolate covered strawberries. They asked me if I wanted dark, milk , or a mixed box. I chose the mixed box. We weren't able to eat our chocolates right away so I put them in the refrigerator. By the time I took them out to eat, the chocolate coating was hard. My daughter had some difficulty biting into it. One bite and all the chocolate coating fell off into pieces. It was a little sad. So she at the strawberry and the chocolate separate. Overall good location for this store and I'd like to try some of their other treats on the next visit. read more

The 1st location is at Ward Center. This is their 2nd location. Business is located in Kahala Mall on left of Pearls Korean BBQ and right of Panda Express. The store is small as compared to other Kahala Mall store spaces. I don't remember what was business in space before. Hours are Mon-Sat 10:00 am to 9:00 pm and Sun 10:00 am to 6:0 pm My friend Kathy went here last week and I wanted to find out where they were in Kahala Mall. She bought some chocolate. My friend and I mentioned that I looks like Honolulu Chocolate Company merchandise. A female employee said that the owner changed name 2 years ago to the current name of Diamond Head Chocolate Company. My friend bought a box of 3 chocolate covered oreos with 2 dark and 1 milk. My favorite at the Honolulu Chocolate Company was chocolate covered apricot. Instagram is diamondheadchocolate. Website is dhchocolate.com. read more

I love chocolate covered fortune cookies, but only usually get them at weddings. Well, there hasn't been such weddings for a long while. Hence, I didn't hesitate to get some dark chocolate fortune cookies when I came across them here! It's so simple and nostalgic, but oh so satisfying. I also tried the s'mores bark, which was OK as the marshmallow felt a bit old. read more

A friend recommended for me to check out a new chocolate in town, Diamond Head Chocolate Company. I love the vibe when you first walked in with the mermaid and mermen ornaments, and even more when I was greeted by the staff. There was a few selections of chocolates but too many to choose from so I asked the staff the recommend a chocolate of his favorites. He pointed out to a few. The chocolates are chocolaticious but it was the SERVICE I received from this person, Usaburo, that COMPLETED the EXPERIENCE [I apologize if I misspelled your name]!!! I am definitely recommending to try this place for it's yummm chocolate selections and hopefully any of you who goes will meet this young man and receive the same service I was provided! read more

I thought I had already left a review, but I guess not. Back in December, a couple of my coworkers who work in our company's Hawaii office came to the Bay Area for a work trip. While they were here, they took the time to get me a small holiday gift. Wanting to return the favor, I checked Google for chocolate shops in Honolulu and found Diamond Head. I called and wanted to ask about their delivery services and for recommendations. I don't know who answered the phone, but he was super helpful and thorough in helping me make my selections. He told me that he would look out for my order when it came up on his end. I can't recommend them enough. read more

This is a really cute shop with tons of specialty items. In preparation for Chinese New Year, they have themed cookies along with all their usual staples. I think my favorite is probably the chocolate covered Oreos in set with dark, milk and white chocolate. At $33 a box it's something I only get occasionally though. Located in Kahalas restaurant row its surrounded by pandas, Taco Bell, cookie corner, subway and pretzel maker. Easy to grab lunch and then a box of sweets. Everything is packaged beautifully and shop is very clean. read more

I love their chocolate!!! A lil bit pricey but hey it's a boutique chocolate store so what do you expect!?! They use to be Honolulu Chocolate Company but then I think one partner moved so they had to rebrand. This is also great omiyage. I love the chocolate covered oreos, the smores bark, rocky road, and chocolate covered blueberries. Their pieces are great for party favors as well. Customer service is always nice...not overly friendly, but more reserved and helpful if you verbalize; checkout takes a bit as they care about their packaging. I love Sees Candy but when I'm in Kahala I try to support more local! read more

One of the newest merchants in Kahala Mall to take up residence is that of Diamond Head Chocolate Company. I noticed this shoppe when walking to Panda Express one December 2020 evening. It's basically next door! I haven't heard of the Diamond Head Chocolate Company until I noticed them here at their second location in Kahala. Their initial location is headquartered at Ward Center. My experience here took about 30 minutes, trying to look at all the deliciousness that can be had here. My eyes gazed upon the chocolate covered Oreo cookies and that sounded like heavenly bliss for sure. The only issue with fancy chocolate and chocolate covered goodies is that it can be spendy and pricey from the normal Hershey bars you'd find at the local store. From the moment I stepped here, I knew that this would be a pricey experience and for those of us who are trying to be budget friendly, this usually isn't. Sometimes, splurging is the spice of life, I suppose. Basically, if you can cover chocolate on it and it's edible, you are pretty much golden here. Diamond Head Chocolate covers the classic milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate. Are there any other types of chocolate? I got to say those golden Oreos are awesome. You must try it to believe it. The other offerings are popular fan favorites, from chocolate covered nuts to fruit, and other delicious options. You can't lose here, although prices can be spendy. The overall experience here at the Diamond Head Chocolate Company here at the Kahala Mall is neat. It's always nice to have new merchants here to keep the mall interesting, as I have lived in the area all my life. For the most part though, my experience here was brief, but you can be sure I will be here next time to get more. I can recommend the chocolate covered Oreos, which is sure to gain traction as an island favorite over the years. What's not to love about chocolate and Oreos? The store itself is relatively small and is set up like part bakery and part candy shop. I could say that the Diamond Head Chocolate company is a step up from the usual chocolate brands you see in a local grocery store. They are trying to be the brand you want to shop for, based on decadence, luxury, style, and taste. At least that's how I see it. They remind me of Godiva, but Hawaii based chocolatier. If you are in the area and want to check out the Oreo's, consider coming on over. It's east Oahu's hidden gem and surely me gaining 10+ lbs. ;D The staff here at Diamond Head Chocolate company is very nice and friendly. I wasn't sure to ask if sampling was allowed or not, so I just kept to myself. I'll just ask the next time I come over. Any time I am at a candy shop, I usually gravitate to the thing that excites me the most. Usually, I get it right the first time. Chocolate is my passion in life. Diamond Head Chocolate Company is located in the Kahala Mall complex, next to the Panda Express, Taco Bell / Pizza Hut, and Pearl's Korean BBQ wing. They accept major credit cards and cash, although with the current ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the credit card option remains to be preferred, along with social distancing and face mask wearing is required. As far as parking goes, there's a plethora of parking spaces here at the mall. Best bet would be to get here early enough to secure the best spot before the crowds come. If you are like me, bus routes 1, 1L, 14, 22, 23, and 24 come thru the area and stops in various places around the mall. If it's chocolate, I'm usually there. Come on by. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the chocolates, of course, but 3.0 stars for the pricing. It is what it is. 4.5 stars for the friendly service. Support local!

This review is only for a single product, the dark chocolate covered lemon peels that are pre-packaged ($5.95 for approx. 4 pieces) purchased at Diamond Head Chocolate - Kahala Mall. There aren't any ingredients on the package, only a label that says "Dark Chocolate Lemon Peels". I opened them right away (so they did not "sit" anywhere). They are not lemon peels, instead they are some sort of clear gelatin style gummy with no flavor. Even the dark chocolate was not very flavorful. I wouldn't waste your money on these pre-packaged chocolates. I was very disappointed. read more

The Kahala store is small, beautifully decorated, and is packed full of delicious chocolate treats. On my last visit there the macadamia popcorn caught my attention, and I'm glad it did. My family loved it, as we wiped out the container. I gave one to my friend and she had to know where I bought it from. It literally is the best treat that we I have eaten in a very long time. That includes all of this past holiday season. I highly recommend the treats at Diamond Head Chocolate Company. read more

Diamond Head Chocolate Company - Valentine day chocolates so romantic. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I like their products, especially the sugar-free items, but please don't hand me my debit card and receipt and say "YO" and immediately whip out your phone (04/09/22, afternoon). Maybe take a lesson in customer service from your Ward Center store since the guy there is very courteous. With all the competition out there, small shops have to do better. Big Island Candy shop at Ala Moana always leaves me with a good feeling--I just might go there instead from now on. read more

Kid Sis gives me a box of Mac Nut Clusters for Xmas 2020. I put one in my mouth and it tastes bad. I spit it out into the sink. After inspecting the top layer, I find the chocolate mottled and cracked from age. I phone the Kahala store and voice my concerns, telling the rep he is selling a product that has exceeded its shelf life by at least a year. My advice for 2021? Avoid this Chocolate Company like Covid. read more

Diamond Head Chocolate Company - Poor Quality: Discolored and cracked chocolate. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Walked in, 2 male employees inside came to the front no one said a word to me as I stood there deciding what to buy. No response from the workers, so I left. Bad customer service in my opinion. Too bad because your chocolate tastes great. read more

Delicious chocolate! Found this little store at the Waikele Outlet Mall. We bought a selection of truffles chocolate ginger pieces and some chocolate covered orange pieces.

Went into the store because I saw they were offering a $2 for 2 chocolate dipped strawberry special on Valentine's Day. After asking a staff member if I could have the $2 strawberry special, he handed me a bag with 2 strawberries and charged my card. When I looked back at my receipt, I saw that they actually charged $6.50. I can't help but feel scammed and ripped off. When I went back into the store to check the price, I saw that the only difference between the bag I was given and the ones on special was a red ribbon on the top. I know a ribbon is nice, but it shouldn't cost $4! Since the employees were busy, I decided I would just keep the chocolates. They were shared amongst family and we all agreed the chocolate itself tasted cloyingly sweet, similar to Hershey's. Would have preferred going to Chocole'a, Manoa Chocolate, or even See's Candies in retrospect. I am only giving an additional star since I know times are tough, it's a new business, and the strawberry itself tasted fresh. read more

Diamond Head Chocolate Company - Milk and dark chocolate dipped strawberries for Valentine's Day ($6.50) - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm so happy to hear that the former Honolulu Chocolate Company is rebranded and in existence! This was my first job almost 30 years ago and my experience being an employee and now a customer brings back awesome memories . I worked at the Manoa store (we served coffee back then- learned how to be a top notch barista with the old fashioned machines and could layer my mochas with the best of em) and Ward locations. Always had a job when I returned summers. I will never forget that we were encouraged to try every truffle and product (yep, limit 1, lol) to give an accurate description to our customers and provide best suggestions. Having said that, my faves have and always will be: Grand Marnier, Champagne, Cappuccino, Hazelnut truffles, the almond bark, Oreos, Fortune cookies, turtles, Mac nut clusters, toffee pistachios, strawberries. To answer the question what is the difference with DHC v any other chocolate store, simply is the ingredients and the chocolate delights are expertly hand-dipped with love- always wondered about aunty Lei? who would come in early in the morning to dip the days stock and fufill orders. Her technique was cool to watch- steady hand, smooth outcome. Excellent locally made chocolate....and the specially brought in chocolate- Belgium, German, etc. Oh!!! And the decor- the ornaments are tradition! LOVE THEM ALL. read more

We have been going to the Ward location for over 20 years. They even did our wedding favors. I just did a big, last minute order from the Kahala store, and I could not be happier! It was literally as they were closing the night before, and I picked it up as they were opening their doors, and the order was perfect. I am about to order for Valentine's Day. I would say you absolutely need to order a "side order" for your self so that you are not tempted to eat everyone's gifts! ha ha! We love the chocolate covered fortune cookies the most. If you order enough ahead, you can write your own fortune and they will put it in there. So fun! read more
