Really awesome chocolate farm in Maui that offers several tour options! Came a year before the fire…read moreand so happy that they are still operating today! Enjoyed their tour learning about their farms and sampling the delicious chocolate. It was so good we ended up buying over $100 of chocolate to bring back as gifts! The mango chocolate was amazing and I'm still using the insulated bag from our first trip as my lunch bag! You won't regret buying any of their chocolate or enjoying any of their amazing tours!

If you came to West Maui, and didn't go chocolate tasting at Ku'ia, did you really visit Maui?…read more I mean, I had an amazing time on my vacation in Ka'anapali - but this was the absolute foodie highlight, better than any restaurant and a lot more reasonable! We skipped the pricey farm tour (we did coffee farm tours last year and are farmed out) and went straight to the chocolate café. They will give you a five piece tasting for free, either a dark, milk, or sugar-free flight. But why would you come here and just take... When you can also give back to folks in Lahaina rebuilding? So we got two free flights, one milk and one dark. My sweetie added on a drink, a pastry, and some very tasty chocolate and salted caramel gelato. I went with a make your own alcohol pairing, which was so much fun and very reasonable. For about $17, I got a shot of coconut rum with two chocolate pairings and a shot of premium Martiniquan JM volcanic rhum Agricole with another two chocolate pairings. And then I still had my free five pieces. What an amazing taste adventure, for cheaper than the price of a cocktail at a hotel bar or even a locally owned foodie place? I don't want to mess up your tasting - so you pick your favorites! But I normally don't like rhum agricole - and the pairings were such an amazing flavor adventure. Honestly, this is my number one recommendation in West Maui. Give the folks some business and have an amazing time! Oh, and they have jazz on Sunday nights' but I'm sure it's more crowded than than popping in during the day on a weekday. And also: the second floor tasting room has panoramic views of the ocean and around Lahaina. Check them out!

Yum, so it's my mama's birthday month & she decided to splurge on some chocolate. I lucked out…read morebecause she picked up 2 bars to share. As a chocolate lover, I'm always excited to try something new. So even though I've been intrigued by the whole Dubai Chocolate craze. I've also been under the assumption that it would just be like salty pistachios with chocolate. However I was so surprised by how wrong I was. With that first bite, the sweet chocolate melted as it touched my lips. Then each bite had a fun & flavorful crunch. Not only was I in heaven, but I'd be so down to eat another West Maui Chocolatier Dubai Chocolate Bar. Whether you've had or haven't had it before, I highly recommend it. I'm a fan:) Until next time.

(+) Azuki bean mochi…read more Maui specialty chocolates is a family owned business that sells high quality chocolates, candies and mochi. They have plenty of selection in terms of chocolate. The reason we visit here is for their mochi. The mochi is some of the best I've ever had, and I have been to Japan to try theirs. The flavors are chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, and azuki bean (red bean). I'm not a peanut butter fan nor chocolate, so I just ate the red bean mochi. The mochi is so soft and the red bean filling is not too sweet and filled with a good amount of it. Since it is a family business, the hours are fluctuate constantly. There was a point where every time we visited, it was closed during our stay for 4 years straight. Check their website to confirm hours.

I'm so hay I got Maui Specialty Chocolates Today. I got then as a gift. This is not my first time…read moretrying then but first time to review them. Oooooh how much i love mochi. These are the bomb. Com is so delicious. I put them in the refrigerator when I got home I kinda like them cold. So when I bit into my first bite I was in heaven. They're so delicious. The chocolate was perfectly sweet. It has a little crunchy which made then even better! So go get you some mochi from this place. You'll definitely be happy you stopped by.

My family and I did the chocolate factory tour, and it was such a fun and educational experience!…read moreThe owner actually gave us the tour himself, which made it feel really personal. I loved learning about the chocolate-making process and hearing about the differences between his factory and some of the well-known chocolate companies. During the tour, we got to sample the chocolate at different stages of the process. Every sample had its own distinct flavor, and they were all so good! After the tour, we got to try seven different chocolates, including flavors like coffee, mango, and sugar-free. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful compared to your typical Hershey bar. I can't wait to come back and do the farm tour next! Definitely recommend checking this place out if you love chocolate and want to learn more about how it's made.

We are on the Island of Maui and have done many types of tours in many different places but when I…read moreread about The Maui Chocolate Tour they had me at CHOCOLATE! You can cover a work boot in chocolate and I would eat it, I am not ashamed to say that I am a "Chocaholic" as well as a "Chocosaurus". We met up at their factory located In Lāhainā, fabulous store and open air seating area above their factory. Great modern design and decor and fully operated on solar and Tesla back up battery's. Staff is very friendly and helpful, but the gem of the operation is "Rissi" our guide. He was so knowledgeable of the operation and spoke so well of the growing process I could have listened to him all day and never got bored. He also integrated great things in about growing up on the island, the culture and his family background. Well done "Rissi" I wanna hang out with you. I learned so much about the plants, the natural growing methods Maui Chocolate uses and the process of refining Cocoa into chocolate. The tasting after the orchard tour was in a tree house above the orchards offering beautiful views of the orchard, views of Molokai and Lanai. Once you have tasted Maui Chocolate you won't eat anything else, you shouldn't because you are eating pure coco with only natural ingredients prepared the Maui Chocolate way. Do the tour, whether it's the factory tour or the orchard tour (I am a freak about gardening and growing) so I wanted to learn more about the trees and methods and I truly learned a lot about their natural growing methods. What really hit the heart most was Maui Chocolate donates 100% of it profits to charity, works with the community and also works with other countries on growing methods. Well done Maui Chocolate, you offer more than just chocolate goodness with your huge heart. And thank you "Rissi" for sharing your culture and history while taking care of business.

Sweet Paradise Maui was such a wonderful experience!…read more The chocolates were amazing, but what stood out most to me was the kindness and care of the staff. At one point, my child was touching some delicate items, and before I even noticed, a staff member gently and politely reminded her to be careful. I was actually grateful for the correction because I could've been held responsible for the demages done. It truly takes a village to help raise children, and I appreciated how she handled the situation with patience and kindness rather than frustration. Mahalo to this wonderful lady working her. It's refreshing to visit a business where people genuinely care about both their products and their customers. Thank you for the delicious treats and for showing such grace and understanding. We will definitely be back!

Honestly surprised there aren't more reviews for Lee Bear! They are a Maui institution and have…read morebeen serving the community with specialty chocolates, candy making supplies, handmade crafts, and amazing gift baskets for over 30 years! Their little store is small, but mighty and the service is nothing short of spectacular. What *I think* they're mostly known for is their gift baskets/boxes. When holidays, birthdays, special occasions roll around, Lee Bear is such a great place to find an assortment of goodies for friends and loved ones. Their gift baskets are filled with treats like candies, Maui Cookkwees, gourmet cookies and rice krispies that have been dipped in a rich, decadent chocolate coating; freshly hand-dipped in their store to ensure high quality flavor. My favorite is the white chocolate covered pretzels with rice krispies, marshmallows, etc. SO good. It's the first thing I call dibs on when I see it. Haha! Just recently, I stopped in when my little one suggested we make lollipops. They had a wide selection of molds, gel food coloring, candy thermometer, basically everything and anything we needed. They even sold the white chocolate covered rice krispy treat by the package! It's a bit of a splurge, but I like what I like and will pay for it... lol. When we checked out, the lady (I'm assuming the owner?) asked us if we've made lollipops before and offered up so many tips and hacks. She answered all of our questions and even provided a mini recipe book that she suggested we keep as they don't make them anymore. I was really impressed, but not really surprised, with the quality of their customer service. That's what I love about mom and pop shops and the reason I will continue to support local businesses like these. Next time you decide to make a treat or need a quick, easy gift, you don't have to spend hours shopping for the perfect gift. Stop by the store or order a sweet gift basket from Lee Bear & Co Inc.
