I never knew this place existed until recently and checked it out. They're located in the corner of the plaza, and can be easy to miss. There's a large shared parking lot, though there's a steep incline going up to and down from the lot from the street. Walking in, we were immediately greeted and self-identified as first-time visitors. We were given a quick tour of the place, where they made their chocolate by hand and their current selections of chocolate bars, toffee barks, and truffles. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to try the different intensities of chocolate bits they had available as samples. Ranging from 50% to 100%, my personal favorite was the 90%. We ended up getting 2 mint truffles, 2 coffee truffles, and a small bag of toffee bark for $16 + tax. They don't taste too bad with a glass of wine we had later that day, though they weren't our favorite chocolates. Overall, this chocolate factory is still worth a stop in to check out the chocolate making process, by which they still use direct-sourced cocao beans from Ecuador. They are under new ownership, yet they plan to begin offering wine pairings and couples nights in Summer 2026. read more

Their hours say open to 8pm on Saturday. I came by around 7pm and they were closed. I even called their phone number. This was out of the way for me. So I was disappointed but I just learned about them and was hoping to try their chocolates. I hope they are open the next time I come. I'll try to get there earlier in the afternoon. Please update your store hours. read more

I love this place!! Authentic Ecuadorian chocolates that they get the cacao from Ecuador and process in house in Cedar Park, TX!! You can get a tour... it's a small place but the chocolates are the BOMB!! Definitely worth the drive to buy a selection of different chocolates with a great price! read more

They're never open. Have gone by a few times to try it and it's always closed. I have no idea what their actual hours are, the ones on Apple Maps aren't right. I was looking forward to trying it so pretty disappointing. read more

Like others have mentioned, this store is tucked away in a small corner of a strip mall that is hard to notice at first. It's flanked by a tea shop, Chinese place, and a sushi place a few doors down. The large parking lot made parking easy. We did walk inside, and while there was a long hallway with machinery, nothing was being made at the time. Bummer. They did have several jars of fruits with chocolate, and in the back, there was a room with bars, little chocolate cluster treats as well. You can sample the bars, but be careful on the keto one that uses stevia and erythritol if that's a problem for you. I didn't realize those sweeteners were there, so that's on me for not reading that label first. We didn't get anything this time but maybe another time. read more

Tucked into the plaza, I wouldn't have discovered unless I was already walking around plaza, but I'm glad I did! When you first enter the store, you're in the kitchen area and have to go to the back to see all the chocolate. They offer different levels of dark chocolate that you can sample. I'm excited to try the hot cocoa bomb I purchased! read more

The reviews led me to believe we would get to see chocolate-making in action. Perhaps we just got unlucky with the timing of our visit. The moment we entered in through the door, the girl employee urged us to the back where the shop was, past all the interesting machinery... We did enjoy sampling each step up of cacao: 55%, 70%, 85%, and 100%! These were available as bars for a very reasonable $6/ea. They were also selling a number of interesting chocolate barks with unique mix-ins of fruit and/or nuts for around the same price, and little baggies of chocolate-dipped kiwi/mango/pineapple/ginger for about $3 apiece. The kiwi and ginger were great, so I can only imagine the other two were as well! They also sold hot chocolate powder and hot cocoa bombs. And they had individual chocolates (a lot like See's). Not sure if their stock rotates or changes based on seasonality. Anyway, delicious chocolate! It looks like they are set-up so they could do "tours" of their small facility, including a large screen display probably for videos? Would've been neat to get to see more of the process considering we drove about 45 minutes to get there. Ah well. read more

Very nice family who own the business & the chocolate is amazing. All dark chocolate but that's what I love the most.

Chocolates are so good. My favorite ones are the individual ones like, chocolate with passion fruit, orange, and liqueur fillings. You won't be disappointed. There are also free samples to try certain flavors of chocolate. read more

Fantastic chocolate! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I bought these as a gift and they lasted about 2 hours. Highly recommend the coconut and orange if you're going to try some. read more

Kushi Ecuadorian Chocolate - Chocolate truffles + keto bar - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I love chocolate and a friend had recommended this place. As soon as we walked in we were greeted. I had walked in with 4 kids under the age of 7 and the employee was so kind to them. Offering them samples of all types of chocolate and explaining to us how everything is made. I'd go back, kind service and delicious Ecuadorian chocolate. read more

A great (and delicious) example of how a business can enrich the offerings of a neighborhood! The Ecuadorian Chocolate Factory (ECF from here on) is a just-opened chocolatier specializing in chocolate produced from Ecuadorian beans. Upon arriving there today, we formed an impromptu 'tour group' where a gentleman explained (more in Spanish than English) how the chocolate processing system worked. This ended with a softly lit gift shop where you could purchase chocolate bars in 55%, 70%, 85%, and 100% chocolate levels. Extra kudos in allowing customers to sample each increment; more chocolate places need to do that! The 55% is relatively sweet, the 70% similar to a semi-sweet chocolate chip, and the 100% is bitter the way baking chocolate should be. All have a slightly more 'fruity' taste to me than your mass-produced chocolate, and they're tempered beautifully. This is sharp-looking as well as delicious chocolate. Definite recommend to check out when you're in this part of Austin! As of now (January 2019) they only sell these bars. They'll be offering lower-fat versions as well as different types of product (chips et al) in the future. read more

The best chocolate I've ever tasted--this place ought to be famous. The flavor and texture are perfect. Their chocolate tastes alive--it makes me think of fruit, but it's chocolate. Their bark is lovely. The truffles are the best I've had. It's a perfect bite, although I think the chocolate holds precedence over the other flavors. I used their 100% chocolate for a cake, and it was incredible. Try this alongside Ghirardelli and have your mind blown on how chocolate can be. In addition--I haven't spoken much to the actual family/owners, but I've been a few times over the past few years and they've always been there running the store. read more

Found this place by accident. Decided to go in and see what Ecuadorian chocolate was like. The are quite a few selections available. There are chocolate bars with 50% all the way to 100% cacao. They offer samples for each to try, and they were good. There are also truffles. Purchased the coffee, coconut, mint, and liquor truffles. All the truffles were very delicious. Did not get any of the bars, but will on the next visit. The staff was friendly and they appear to be a fully family run business. read more

What a treasure right here in Cedar Park! The most amazing chocolate ever and so fresh. The owners are so nice and passionate about their products . The heavenly smell is unlike any other candy shop . So , so yummy , and everything here would make a great gift for the chocolate lovers in your life. read more

A sweet, little chocolate shop manned by even sweeter people. My husband wanted to get me chocolates and a tour of how chocolates are made as his anniversary gift, which was easily one of my favorite gifts BY FAR. I am enamored with chocolates and I will absolutely eat a ginormous helping every single day if I lived within walking distance to this shop. I have a preference for Swiss and Belgian chocolates and these were definitely up to par, if not slightly better. This is the closest you'll ever get to farm-to-table freshness in chocolates, and you can taste the freshness in every bite!! I can tell how passionate the owner is about his craft and if you are in the area with a hankering for high-quality chocolatey goodness, do yourself a favor and drive straight to Ecuadorian Chocolate Factory. I can guarantee that your palate will be delighted and grateful. read more

10 minutes ago, this box was was full. That's all you need to know. Very friendly. Hidden gem. Worth fighting the construction to get to. read more

Kushi Ecuadorian Chocolate - 8 count truffles - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Another score for the Yelp App. When I did a search on Candy Stores in the CP I figured it would return the usual suspects from the Lakeline Mall. To my surprise, the Ecuadorian Chocolate Factory was displayed. This family-owned business is tucked away in strip mall hell just off of Bell Blvd. Shockingly there is a Nail Salon, Tex Mex and Asian, restaurant adjacent. Carlos, the proprietor, is friendly and passionate about his candy. Talk about owning the supply chain he has his own cacao farm in Ecuador. I've tasted a lot of chocolate from LATAM and this by far is the best. Carlos walked us through the candy-making process and graciously provided samples based on our preferences. We settled on his 85% dark chocolate bar. This is our sweet spot and anything less is too sweet and when we get up to the 100% the bitterness takes over. Carlos is much more comfortable conversing in Spanish so if you are bilingual or have an accomplice that is bilingual, lucky me, you will receive much more Info. Great people & fabulous chocolate. Support this locally owned family business! read more

Holy shit, this chocolate is fantastic! The owners are originally from Ecuador and own their own cacao farm there still. The chocolate they make here at low temperature so as not to lose as much of the antioxidants and minerals that can be found in cacao naturally. But, better than that, it tastes really good. I've bought all percentages of their chocolate from 55% to 100% cacao. The 100% is some of the smoothest, least bitter that I've ever had and was a great ingredients to use for a ganache I was making from scratch. One heads up, when you walk in, you'll see their chocolate making operation but you may be wondering, where's the chocolate for sale? Keep walking towards the back and make a right and you'll be in a room filled with chocolate bars and little jars for samples. The owners told us they are also working on bon bons using fruits/jams from a local provider in nearby Guatamala. I love supporting a small local shop and it's easy when the product they make is so damn good. Give them a try, you won't regret it. read more

Absolutely amazing chocolate. This place gave me my first taste of freshly made chocolate and ruined me to all other chocolate. Have to admit, I did not taste all the choices as I found my favorite rather fast. It's a small, family owned business, and you can see and feel their passion and love for chocolate when you walk in. read more

This business is a rising giant! Very humble and honest family shop. It's a chocolate explosion of delicacies! There is no doubt that they will gain popularity with their uniquely "farmed" cacao beans right from the Ecuadorian mountains! The family's passion & decades of dedication for the production of high quality chocolate products is what sets them apart. It's definitely at the top of some of the best chocolates I have tasted. Look out for this Cedar Park Texas hidden gem! read more

My family and I had a wonderful experience at the Ecuadorian Chocolate Factory! We highly recommend this place as a must see when in Austin. It is a hidden gem in the area. The tour was wonderful. We loved getting to taste different types of chocolate and learning how the chocolate is made. Even during COVID-19, the owners did a great job keeping the shop clean and safe. We truly had a fun experience here. Best quality cacao we have tasted! read more

Amazing selection, all organic, family owned business, excellent quality, made in Cedar Park - what more could one ask for?

My two daughters and I happened by this place after lunch today. The owner Carlos gave us a little tour, and let us sample pretty much everything. We started at 55% Cacau bars and stepped up incrementally to 100%. I'm not usually a fan of dark chocolate, but the quality of the chocolate was incredible. After the bars, we moved on to the bon bons. I highly recommend the strawberry and coffee. The kids really enjoyed it, and it was a good lesson for them about savoring a small treat vs shoving a handful of m&ms into their heads. If you do wine tastings, stop by here first. Also, Take your family here. It's a great experience, and you'll get to meet Carlos, who is very cool. read more

This place is so cool and we were lucky enough to get tour of the process of turning cocoa beans into the final product- Carlos was awesome and very friendly and probably the best chocolate around! read more

Lovely chocolate place. The owner is so nice and the chocolate is amazing lots of flavors and sweetness levels.

I love everything about this place! It's clear that there is a lot of passion and expertise put into their chocolates. Everyone has been so friendly each time we've been. We ordered some chocolates with free delivery once, and the owner (I think) showed up promptly at our door with them! I hope this place is around forever. read more

Wow! Not only is Carlos's passion for chocolate apparent in his awesome personality, but his chocolate is delicious. The chocolate bars are smooth and the bon bon's were perfection. His bon bon recipe was developed with the help of a French chocolatier with 40 years experience and it definitely shows. Definitely go visit your local chocolate shop, you're not only supporting a wonderful family, but you get to taste amazing chocolate as well. read more

Homemade chocolate in Cedar Park? Who knew? They had varieties of pure cacao chocolate bars to those blended with various amounts of sweeteners. No/ low sugar versions likely to be added soon. The best part is homemade chocolate bars without the unpronounceable ingredients found in the checkout lanes. We took the tour and learned a little about chocolate's origins, too. The process starts with raw cacao and through the various stations it is transformed into chocolate candy bars. Well, I guess it really starts in Ecuador where the owners grow the cacao.. If you enjoy dark chocolate, or for a unique way to spend some time in Cedar Park...this is the place. read more
