We enjoyed a private class that took us from bean to bar. I love everything about Dwaar. Their mission to bring the finest beans and support independent farmers is amazing. The 70% dark chocolate is some of the best you will ever try! Our host and owner is so lovely, she was patient with the beginner questions and offered nothing but her extensive knowledge which is invaluable. A small tight production, you can see the care and attention to detail. They are the only chocolate make in the greater Detroit area, most others are chocolatiers who fashion their good from premade chocolates that are laden with sugar. With Dwaar you will taste the notes of the chocolate. And they should sell those roasted cacao seeds, they are delis and addictive! For high quality dark search them out! read more

Dwaar Chocolate - The spicy mango fruit chews were AMAZING! When can I get some more?!? The strawberry were mild and yum also. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Keego Harbor, Michigan

Dark chocolate is the least of my favorite chocolate variety, but after having a bite of DWAAR chocolate I developed a deeper appreciation .. more so having after gaining knowledge on how the dark chocolate bar was originally made of ... from cacao beans imported from a country like Ecuador. Tons of dried beans are imported to Michigan, which is then roasted, shells removed, grind, mixed and tempered to shape as a bar, bonbon and other holiday shapes. Each bar individual bar is priced a bit higher than the commercial chocolate late because DWAAR chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa and much darker in color. The chocolate maker / owner of DWAAR chocolate is very passionate about her product. Be assured the she creates the highest quality of dark chocolate you can find only Michigan. The owner received an award and was featured in magazines, online and tv. I wish in the near future she will be able to mass produce and supply chocolate discs that can be melted and used as coating in fruits, chips, apples and pretzels. Must try the so-called sipping chocolate which is 100% dark. read more

This small business is tucked away in a small strip mall where you can easily miss it as you travel down Cass Lake road in Keego Harbor which I have admittedly done for years. Having just recently been made made aware of this business through a YELP event, I was pleased to learn that Dwaar Chocolate is one of the few Chocolate makers in Metro Detroit that makes chocolate from imported beans where she roasts them in her business, grinds the beans and tempers and molds the chocolate all in the confines of the kitchen in this small shop. Truly the definition of Boutique chocolate in this instance . She has fermented relationships with small Cocoa farmers from around the world where she directly imports these beans to Michigan to make here chocolate. The owner, Rajanji Konkipudi is friendly, outgoing and extremely knowledgeable about her craft where she has gone from a Hobby Crafter of making her own chocolate in her basement to creating her own commercial business where she has gained national recognition for the Chocolate she crafts in her small Keego shop. Truly inspiring and a great example of living the American dream. Relative to product, her dark chocolate bars are very very tasty with nice creamy texture and great unique flavor notes that are tied to the regions/terrior of where she has sourced her beans. She is so open and friendly when describing her chocolate where I learned so much in the time I was around her about how other commercial chocolates are made that you normally eat and how her boutique chocolate differs and is superior in all aspects. Truly eye opening. Overall, if you are a fan of fine dark chocolate than this is a must visit business if you are in the area and worth traveling to if you are not. Five stars in my book! read more

What a great experience attending Yelp event at the Dwaar Chocolate! Rajani Konkipudi, the owner and founder, is a natural educator and her chocolate is in a league of its own! From the minute you walk into this small yet cosy shop you are enveloped with the delicious smell of chocolate that is made by Rajani right here, in the backroom! From the first sentence of her story of origin of her business you can feel the passion she has for her craft and, it's no wonder, she is known from here in Michigan and all the way to Hollywood, as well as throughout chocolatier community. Once you taste Rajani's chocolate, there is no going back to the mainstream "chocolate-wanna-be". Your tastebuds are forever transformed. Thank you, Yelp and Annette for a great event- both delicious and educational (and inspiring). read more

Mmm, such quality chocolate!!! You can tell it was made with great care & passion. Right when you enter Dwaar, the smell of chocolate fills you up instantly. It is a cute and tiny chocolate spot in Keego Harbor & KC is so kind and welcoming with a lovely personality! I only spoke with her briefly for a Yelp event but from the short encounter, you can tell she is very knowledgeable with her chocolates! Thanks so much for the delicious bites! My toddler and I gobbled it all up in a sitting (his first time tasting dark chocolate but he loved it)! If you're looking for something sweet and classic, support this business, your sweet tooth will definitely thank you! read more

I sampled the chocolate at a pop-up in the West Bloomfield library and it was delicious. But good luck actually trying to buy some! I was told at the pop-up that the store is open on weekends. There are no hours listed on either their website or FB page. I stopped by on a Saturday a few weeks ago during the time when they were supposed to be open, according to the hours posted on the door. Nope. I came back about an hour later; they were open, and the clerk -- who was very, very nice -- acknowledged that the hours on the door were outdated. I excitedly chose about $50 worth of chocolate, but couldn't purchase it because their only credit card machine was in use at an offsite location! I came back today just before noon, during the supposed business hours, and the door was locked, with no note or anything indicating why or when they'll be open. They are not exactly around the corner: it's a 25-minute drive. And this was my last opportunity to buy chocolate for Christmas gifts as we're leaving town tomorrow. So disappointed! This was the final straw for me; I'll be looking elsewhere. I think the owner has to decide whether this is a hobby or a real business, and if it's the latter, hire someone to run the business side of things. read more

Excellent bean to bar chocolate. Went to an event that taught us about chocolate where the owner was the speaker/teacher and sampled about 7-8 different chocolates. She really takes pride in her craft and the chocolate taste was excellent. If you get a chance stop by and pick up some bars. The Joy of Julia bar was my favorite with shards of burnt sugar. 70% dark zorzal had an excellent creaminess for a dark and dark Indian koffee had a punch for my coffee loving husband. The mango madness with its heat kick at the end was my son's favorite. Her selection varies as she is a small batch maker so try what you can and see what flavors are there when you go, or order online. I am excited a shop by me is carrying her bars so if you see them I recommend them highly. read more
