Felt like a boujie place here in waikele premium outlets. We went on a week night after being at the field down the road and boy was it quiet in the area. There was no on inside but as soon as we walked in the worker came from behind and greeted us right away. Very friendly service. A little pricy but well worth the money for what I feel was high quality fancy chocolate lol. The shop is small but enough room for our stroller to roll through and a few little tables you can sit at to enjoy your snack. We got gelato and a few truffles and sat and enjoyed before closing. I really want to go back for the chocolate covered strawberries. The sign on the door said only Friday Saturday and Sunday. Another couple walked in to order shakes. Looked like regulars after soccer practice so that's my next try also. read more

I love the dipped fruit! Whenever I come to Waikele Outlets I stop in and get some dark chocolate dipped fruit. It's one of my guilty little pleasures. My kids like the dipped oreos and fortune cookies. They also have fresh strawberries in milk or dark chocolate and other treats. read more

Chocolate on another level... Diamond Head Chocolate occupies the former Godiva location in Waikele Premium Outlet right beside Off 5th which can be hidden if you don't walk all the way back which would be a shame to miss out on the chocoholic heaven. Walking into this spacious shop I didn't want to miss out on anything and found it quite fun as it's not just chocolate but some cute and fun crafty merchandise as well are found here though I'm not a huge chocolate fan I do enjoy a treat sometimes and something about this place just drew me in as mom shopped at Off 5th and I didn't feel like exploring there myself. Not a huge fan of the bonbons in the display cases the staff informed me that there were some discounted summer treats that did get my attention and glanced at them as I continue to browse around with some Fall items like Pumpkin Spice Oreos and Matcha Fortune Cookies...yum! Looking back at the discounted items and seeing this pack of "Summer Wafo Rolls" which is a crispy wafer roll dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with cute bright confetti and pieces of watermelon...aawwww! I enjoyed it later with coffee and shared it with mom who loved it so much as it was the perfect combination and worked deliciously. Thank you! read more

You had me at chocolate! Stop here for amazing chocolate treats! It's located in the Waikele Premium Outlets, closer to Sak's Off 5th, Diamond Head side. Made the trek here for goodies such as chocolate covered fortune cookies, something that family and friends look forward to receiving. The quality of their chocolate is simply chocalicious!!!

Ok I have really been craving chocolate. I love See's and Godiva (miss the stores) but of course would prefer to support local. So I was excited to hear this place was in the old Godiva shop at Waikele. Unfortunately this chocolatier fell short for me. They have a wonderful selection, with a wide variety. They even have cold treats (soft serve, gelato, shakes), and hot drinks (coffee, hot chocolate). Since we hadn't been there before and I had only checked them out in Yelp, I wanted to take my time. They were empty. It was hard to see pricing on the truffles, and confusing for the dipped fruits bc it was done by weight so you end up spending more than you plan of course. Even with that I could have been ok bc I should have expected that. And there is 6 of us... so... 4 drinks, 3 desserts, 6 from the dipped fruits, and a six piece truffle box.... Ok $78 makes logical math when I add it up... I guess. What really got me was the service and the actual taste of the truffles. The dipped fruits were fine, strawberry parfait was decent. Soft serve decent (should have tried gelato). But the truffles... the outer shell overpowered the filling, and to be quite honest it didn't taste like great chocolate either. At first bite the fillings are ok but then quickly too sweet. Eating the mini truffles might be better. My comment about the service has to do with the fact that I ordered the drinks first, and even told the server we probably need more time selecting our chocolates.... Thinking ok she will make the drinks while we decide. But she didn't. Ok, you know your job so I won't tell you how to do it. Then another young man came in and she asked him to make the drinks. He made a joke "hypothetically what would happen if I didn't" or something to that effect. It was obvious that he was joking. And I could have let that go. My daughter parfait.. all the hot cocoas, and the two boxes of chocolate went out..... another two people orders came up. Then the girl asked what we were waiting on..... well our two soft serves and the coffee I needed. "Oh yeah!" Hon, you wrote it down. It came up quickly after that, but not correct. read more

Once you step inside the store, you will smell chocolate. They have pre-packed items and chocolates you can pick to create your custom box. I came in because I needed a break from window shopping and was craving something sweet. When Godiva was in this spot, I would stop by for their soft serve. The Diamond Head Chocolate soft serve is just as good as Godiva. It was creamy, chocolatey, and delicious! They also topped the soft serve with a chocolate dipped oreo cookie. They are located near Saks OFF 5TH. Besides coming in for soft serve, this would be a great place to pick up goodie bags for parties and during Christmas when you can't decide what to buy someone. You should buy them locally made chocolates. The next time you're shopping at Waikele Premium Outlets, swing by here and treat yourself to some soft serve or chocolates. read more

Now talk about delicious! Waikele has been one of my main communities while living in Hawai'i and would consistently come to Waikele Outlets for shopping and just plain, old hang-out. After Godiva shut down a majority, if not all, of their stores, I was deeply disappointed. I love chocolate! Most recently we stopped by this shopping center for some snacks and decided to go for a quick stroll. That's when I noticed Diamond Head Chocolate. You can find their store at the very North-end of the shopping center. If you are coming to the Waikele Outlets just for this store, your better off parking at the very Northeast end parking lot. Their staff was extremely friendly and courteous. She was very informed at all their offerings and was able to guide us to discern what treats we might enjoy most. For their chocolate offerings - they have plenty. Plus - their prices are welcoming and local-friendly. LOL. All-in-all, I enjoyed this visit and my family was each able to grab a selection of their choice. It would be nice if they offered some "chocolate" cold drinks besides their blended Gelatos. read more

What a treat to come and find this local shop in place of where Godiva chocolate use to be. My husband and I came on a Monday evening and the store was quiet. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman by the name of Derrick. We chatted about the chocolates and his experience working with Godiva and now his friends business. The store is set up similar to Godiva but in my opinion the chocolate is way better. Prices are similar as well but I believe you are getting a better value here as the chocolates are so rich and decadent. Supporting local is also a big plus for me. Derrick told us that they also had gelato and made milkshakes. We decided to try a kona coffee shake. He was kind enough to ask how we liked it and even made us a second one when we told him that it didn't really taste of kona coffee but more like chocolate. He tried making it again this time with vanilla but it still didn't taste of kona coffee but vanilla instead. I was still impressed that he tried to make it right. We ended up with a box of truffles, an dark chocolate ultimate stores, and a dark chocolate macadamia haystack. As you can probably tell we prefer dark chocolate, lol. I loved it all and will be back to try their chocolate dipped strawberries that are made on the weekends. read more

I accidentally discovered this place trying to seek shelter from the rain. The seasonal decorations and menu sitting by the window drew my curiosity. Inside, it's pretty quiet with soft music in the background. If you carry your laptop on you for school, this cafe might be the perfect place for you. The workers greet you with a smile and talk to you like a friend. It's a bit pricey for chocolate, but it melts perfectly in your mouth, not too sweet or bitter. My go-to item is the strawberry parfait. It's about $8-$9 but I think it's worth it. They guarantee that the ice cream fills up every crevice of the cup and make it presentable. I'd highly recommend this place to those with a sweet tooth and need a quiet ambiance to focus. read more

I even beckoned patrons to come in and try because they added seats and tables inside now and can look out at the shoppers... I brought customers in hahaha they spent money too! So good!

This is a really nice chocolate store. I loved the festive decorations that put me into the fall spirit. We went to get some gelato and ordered the chocolate hazelnut gelato. It was good. I feel like it was previously scooped and frozen. We had a dark chocolate Oreo on top which was a nice addition. You can choose between dark, milk, and white chocolate. Overall the staff was friendly and parking was good. I want to come back and buy some of the chocolates in the display case. They look so yummy especially the chocolate covered strawberries and cherries. read more

I was so happy to see that Diamond Head Chocolate took over the old Godiva spot in Waikele Shopping Center. My mom and I stopped in to get some chocolate for our family. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman Logan. He answered all of our chocolate questions and even told us about his favorites! (Peanut butter chocolate bark). If you haven't tried it you definitely need too. I am hooked! I was also looking for Halloween goodies for my son's teachers. He showed me the pre-packed chocolate covered fortune cookies, chocolate Oreos and chocolate Rice Krispies! They were decorated with Halloween themed sprinkled and packaged with a cute Halloween tag! It was the perfect addition to the goodie bags! It was also very reasonably priced! We also got dark and milk chocolate covered macadamia nuts- so delicious, milk chocolate apricot, pre-packed dark chocolate covered almonds. They have a huge variety to choose from, the chocolate to me is better than Godiva, and the customer service is beyond excellent! If you haven't stopped in yet, you should definitely do so! You won't be disappointed! We will be back for more! On the weekends they make the BEST chocolate covered strawberries! read more

I highly recommend Diamond Head Chocolate for your next party favors. We had a small gathering for my dad's 97th birthday and wanted a little favor for the event. My daughter-in-law suggested Diamond Head Chocolate. I looked them up online and found all the information I needed. I was able to make a small order of customized chocolate covered fortune cookies. Easily done online, including the personalized message included in the cookie. I received an automated email indicating that the order had been received. I didn't receive any further emails about when the cookies would be ready, so I called the Waikele store. Unfortunately, I don't recall the gentleman's name, but he was super helpful. He said he'd check on the order and call me back. Called back that same day and said a follow up email had been sent to me asking for the personalized message and date for pick up. Checked my emails and didn't receive it but the gentleman said, no problem, and asked me to email them the message and he noted the date I wanted to pick up the cookies. He asked me to let him know after I send the information so he can make sure it went through. So, I called him back and he confirmed that they got it. Then, on the day I had requested to pick up the cookies, they called me to let me know the cookies were ready for pick up. Such awesome customer service!!! Picked up the cookies and they looked great! Everyone at the party enjoyed them, especially my dad who ate two the day of his party! Highly recommend using them! I certainly will be going back to them again. read more

Let's just say this place changed A LOT over the past years. Service: 3/5 Waited about 5 minutes to get my order taken. There was a couple in front of me and the worker was chatting with them only. I was not aware of what she was doing until I realized I was waiting for a bit so I looked for myself and saw she was making a waffle cone. Would have appreciated if she told me "Be right with you!" She at least said thank you for waiting. Service used to be a bit more efficient from what I remembered in the past. While we were inside and eating our ice cream, 2 parties came in. They were waiting for about 3 minutes and I saw one of them looking around for the worker who went to the back. All we did was just shake our heads at this moment... Food: 3/5 Holy, these scoops though too. My sister and I paid $11 total for these tiny kid looking scoops. Ice cream tasted good but tastes mediocre now. I wanted a fruity flavor so I got the honeydew flavor that tasted like a melona without the stick. My sister's peanut butter and strawberry one was pretty good. However, I remember when they used to have flavors that I could not get elsewhere but it feels pretty basic nowadays. They give bigger single scoops at Baskin Robbin's for the same price or even a couple cents more. Ambiance: 5/5 I say there's ample enough seating and it feels clean and comfortable. I like sitting near the window but I just don't like that their one and only trash can is right next to that table. Verdict: I am not sure if I will be coming back. I noticed their flavors don't change as much as they used to. I remember being excited to see what's new but after today it seems like they been keeping things the same for awhile now. Between the size of the scoops, service, and the flavors I am not sure if I want to come back.

Again my favorite is an Oreo drink even at this place lol. If asked nicely, they even let me rinse out my cup so I could collect and keep and take my cup home.

I ordered a hot latte, Vietnamese ice coffee and a matcha latte. At no point during ordering did they tell me they didn't have the right cups or lids for a hot drink so I got a hot drink in a soda cup which tasted super weird and had no lid. But it was too late as it was given to me that way. I think those cups are waxed so they don't leak so putting hot espresso in it made it taste weird. Also, the milk seemed really watery. To be honest it tasted like a bad drip coffee. They have zero sugar free syrup options so I asked for a sugar free packet. They did have that luckily.

I asked for half-sweet (I cannot stand sickly sweet drinks) and it still hit the spot! The banana pudding was nice and added creaminess and thickness to the drink.

Price was a little steep with the added $1 tip, but once in a while I would come back again for a treat.

The service was sufficient (low contact - could be off-putting to some.) The food was cooked on the spot, at least, the fried part was. My thing is, I've had different preparations of both the lechon and sisig before. I have to say that the ones I got from home-cooked versions versus commercial versions are different (at least for me it has.) It seems as if the sisig and lechon were initially boiled to cook it thoroughly, then they fry it before they serve it to you to get that crispy feel from the skin. The thing is, the jello-like/slightly slimy texture of the fat leads one to believe that it was boiled first or at least not fried thoroughly. There's nothing wrong with boiling as long as the skin and fat come through as crispy. The skin was crispy, but the fat wasn't. Perhaps, they just need to fry it a little more. Other than that, if it was crispy throughout, I would've given it 5 stars. I'm looking forward to trying the other things on the menu like the beef pares.

I stopped by Diamond Head Chocolate in Waipahu and it turned out to be a great place to explore locally made artisan chocolates. The shop focuses on handcrafted sweets that highlight quality ingredients and careful presentation. One of the first things that stands out when you walk in is the display of chocolates. The assortment includes truffles, bonbons, and other chocolate creations that are arranged almost like a small gallery of desserts. Each piece looks carefully crafted, which immediately gives the impression that a lot of attention goes into the details. The flavors are well balanced and not overly sweet. Instead of relying only on sugar, the chocolates emphasize the richness of the cocoa along with subtle flavor combinations that add depth to each bite. The shop itself has a small and welcoming atmosphere that fits well with the idea of a specialty chocolate boutique. It feels like a place where the focus is on quality rather than mass production. Service during my visit was friendly and helpful. The staff were happy to explain the different chocolate selections and recommend items depending on what flavors you prefer. Overall, Diamond Head Chocolate is a great stop if you are looking for locally crafted chocolates on Oʻahu. Whether you are buying a small treat for yourself or picking up a gift, the quality and presentation make it worth the visit. read more

We decided to stop by Diamond Head Chocolate for a quick treat, and it turned out to be a nice little surprise. My wife got a strawberry delight, which looked beautiful with its pink-and-red gradient and tasted light and refreshing -- perfect for a warm afternoon. It's like a refresher. I got the Kona Coffee Gelato Shake, and that one was rich, creamy, and had just the right balance of coffee flavor and sweetness. Definitely a must-try for coffee lovers. We also tried the Chocolate Decadence truffle. It was smooth, rich, and had that deep cocoa flavor that melts in your mouth. The shop itself is cozy and clean, with a calm atmosphere for sitting down and relaxing. The presentation of everything, from the drinks to the truffle, was simple but elegant. Overall, Diamond Head Chocolate is a great place to take a break while shopping at Waikele -- especially if you want something cool, sweet, and a bit indulgent. read more

Stopped by Diamond Head Chocolate during the Black Friday madness, and it was absolutely worth the visit! I ordered the Kona Coffee Shake, while my wife went for the Chocolate Soft Serve. Both were amazing--perfectly creamy, rich in flavor, and not overly sweet. Just the right balance for a light dessert snack that hit the spot! Even with the crowds, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and quick, making the experience all the more enjoyable. If you're in Waikele and looking for a treat, this place is a must-visit! read more
