AMAZING, hands down. Try the opihi ice cream!!! We got it along with ube. The opihi gives a very satisfying crunch. You can also see them make the chocolate candies right there in the store. Nearby outside, you can also see a small exhibit showing a piece of tsunami debris from the March 2011 Japan earthquake that landed in Kauai in 2013. read more

My daughter wanted "Opihi's" from Kauai Chocolate Company so we made the 1 1/2 hour drive to the South Side of the island to Eleele/Port Allen. Hand made chocolates, soft serve and other Kauai treats. They are known for the Opihi chocolates, shortbread cookie, caramel and a macadamia nut covered in either Milk or Dark Chocolate. I must say it is yummy, but not cheap. A box of 16 is almost $40. The workers were not very friendly or welcoming. AC, small customer area. There is parking in back of the building. read more

It was a Sunday afternoon and we wanted to check out some Kauai food places. We were surprised that Kauai chocolate company was open late on a Sunday. We found a nice large parking lot on the back side of the store. We were the only patrons there for a few moments but then it became a bustling place. It's a small shop with a few chocolate items. They also have ice cream and other local made products like Kauai Kookie company and Auntys lilikoi dressing.there were also handmade soaps, candles, and cards. They offer turtles which are chocolate, caramel, and Mac nuts in milk and dark. But I didn't realize they also have something different: opihi. Which is a short bread, with caramel and Mac nut, covered in chocolate. That was a fun little treat!! They have gift boxes of those in milk, dark, and mixed chocolate. A perfect omiyage or gift to bring back home to family, friends, or coworkers. Service was quick once two people were up at the front. If a lot of people are coming in for ice cream, it slows the line down a bit. Make sure to stop in if you are passing by. It's a quick way off the main road and a real treat! read more

Local chocolate factory where you can watch them creating their awesome concoctions. You enter the shop and are hit with the wonderful aroma of chocolate. They're known for their "opihi" (limpet shaped) in both milk and dark chocolate, which consists of a base of shortbread cookie topped with caramel and then a Macadamia nut then enrobed in chocolate. Sample was yummy! They also sell ice cream and snacks from a few other Kauai snack companies so you can stop in one place and pick up gifts to take home from several companies. I love that they sell bars of sugar free milk and dark chocolate in addition to their other choc bars. They also sell choc dipped pretzels, individual chocolates, and more. Service is ok. Staff is friendly enough but I had to bag my own items. Not sure if it's because I had my own bag or not. read more

Kauai Chocolate Company is a popular destination for chocolate lovers on the island of Kauai, they offer a wide range of handcrafted chocolates, truffles, and other sweet treats, even old fashion ice cream. What happen here, I visit Kauai so often, how can I not visit Kauai Chocolate Company or have not been here. hehe?! I remember having their chocolates years ago when we received these omiyages at the office so when I had the chocolate & samples again it sure brought back memories! I have to say Kauai Chocolate Company is very addicting, had to get out of there quick after you visit. Even though there's a note in front glass on the ice cream, stating " vacation calories does not count" I wish!! After samples, getting my chocolate opihi stash and darn after sampling the opihi ice cream I had to get a scoop, regret not getting more than one scoop but I was worried about the vacation calories. Enjoying my scoop of opihi ice cream with my other half who can't have sweets, sharing is caring but next time I am getting an extra scoop no matter the calories. Opihi ice cream consist of caramel flavored base with shortbead cookies, macadamia nuts, and chocolate shavings, Wow. oh so good, I can say the same for the opihi chocolates. Kauai Chocolate Company is located at the Port Allen Marina Center, tons of parking and check out Hanapepe ( swinging bridge) the businesses ( Ex. The Right Slice, Kauai Kookie, Kauai Coffee) and glass beach nearby since you are in the area. If you are planning to visit Kauai, stopping by this business is a must do for any chocolate lover, & Kama'aina discount is 5%. Thank you to the wonderful other half, for taking me here. For now I will have to enjoy my stash one bite at a time before I can visit here again. read more

Cute little shop which offers chocolates and ice cream. When arriving to Kaui our Uber Driver mentioned that if we are in the area to stop by to try the Opihi's. After attending a boating excursion one evening, we happen to walk by the business that was mentioned to us. I dont have a photo but will say that the Opihi was one of the yummiest treats that we enjoyed during the trip. A short bread cookie, topped with caramel a whole macadamia nut and then covered in either dark or milk chocolate. Delicious! If you stop by be sure to pick up extra. They would make a great gift as well. Definitely a special Hawaiian treat! You can also place orders on line and they will ship but it is a bit pricy to do this. read more

After getting an explanation of the various chocolates, I decided on a box of mixed opihi, and another box with some caramel covered chocolate with Mac nuts, a peanut butter chocolate bar, and. Mocba chocolate bar. We we came into the shop, we were the only ones there, but by the time we left it was crowded. It's a popular place! Several people were buying the ice cream and on my next visit, I'll be sure and get some. A cute little shop and nice to support local businesses on Kauai. read more

A coworker mentioned having tried a "chocolate-covered opihi". My nose wrinkled, my mouth frowned, yet I was curious as to how it tasted. As I inquired further, she said it's not what I was thinking and laughed, meaning they're not made with the local delicacy limpets that are found on coastline rocks. Aww, shucks! Fast forward a few days and I found myself at a birthday dinner where one of the attendees bought everyone a box of chocolate opihi! MENU: Bricks & clusters, chocolate-covered "opihi", brownies, mac nuts, pretzels & marshmallows, cocoa mix, fudge and toffee. THE GOODS: Opihi (milk chocolate, 6 pcs.) - $11.99 I forgot what said coworker described was inside, so I was going in clueless. The bottom is a miniature Kauai Kookie-brand cookie, then a smear of caramel and topped with a whole macadamia nut, all covered in creamy milk chocolate (dark is also available). It's good but I'm not a fan of caramel so I didn't love it. Definitely recommended for sweet-toothed folks though. OVERALL: Every major Hawaiian island has a snack or goodie that's unique to them. Here's to another! read more

Kauai Chocolates is hands down one of my favorite stops on the island. Their Opihi Ice Cream is absolutely incredible--creamy, rich, and full of that unique local flavor you can't find anywhere else. You can really taste the love and quality in every bite. It's the perfect treat after a beach day or just because. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the whole shop has that warm, small-town charm. If you're ever on Kauai, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it! read more

After we got back to shore, we decided to check out this chocolate store. Besides chocolate, they also sell cute handmade soaps, jam, and ice cream too. I got to see them making fresh chocolate, so that was pretty neat. I didn't think that I was going to buy anything until they offered me a sample of their best selling item. It's called the opihi and has macadamia nut, caramel, and shortbread covered in chocolate. It was one of the best things I ever ate, so I had to buy a box to take home. You can choose milk or dark chocolate, so I got the latter. It's pretty pricey, but worth it since I haven't had anything like this before. read more

We wanted to come back but couldn't reach anyone on the phone on 10/7 to make sure the drive there wasn't wasted. Thankfully the Gaylord residence was able to ask someone working there and they mentioned being open till 3:30, opposite of their voicemail which said 5 pm. Wis their hours were a bit more consistent. The shop has caramel which come in 6 different flavors and we got to sample some. They also have chocolate covered caramel, pretzels, pineapple, apples, and bark. If food isn't your thing, they have apparel like shorts, aprons, towels, mugs, cards, cups, coloring books, and hats. There is a small window you can see where they make the caramel. The macchiato caramel was soft and coffee flavored. The perfect mix of sweet and salty. The Oreo caramel apple was good as well. The caramel was soft and very thin around the apple so it felt more like eating an apple versus something covered in sticky caramel. Make sure to check the bottom of the bag if you plan to share these. Some batches had only a month and nothing past 2 months. If you are heading over to the Gaylord property and want to visit the sweet shop, make sure to call ahead.

There also is other savory foods they offer. The gift shop part of this establishment is okay, a little old and dusty items they're selling.

What a great shop. They sell souvenirs and food. I got a pretty Hawaiian flower clip for $1!…read more We stopped on this side of the island on a cruise ship. We came by both days that we were at port for food and shaved ice here. They have a huge variety of shaved ice. You can add different flavors or syrup and ice cream. They have mochi and flan add-ons too. The possibilities are endless here. The fried intestine and lumpia are soooooo good. The intestine shrinks when cooked but was still delicious. The lumpia's are 10 for $10. They are so good I can probably eat 30 by myself. The fried banana eggrolls were huge. Crispy, a bit too sweet for me but really good. HAPPY SHAVED ICING!!

10/28/24 Must have passed by this tiny shop more than a couple dozen times-never knew it was here!!…read more The reviews were pretty accurate about its size, perhaps a room/space for 3-4 maximum (if you're all related & fairly intimate enough to share the personal space). It has a refrigerated showcase/display that features their array of delectable delights. The cacao is grown about10 minutes away from the shop & a picture hangs on the wall (see photo) of the lady, Ms. Mitchell, who makes all the chocolates. This is according to Debra, the lady tending to the shop. I had my heart set on (3 piece @ $7.00) Dark & Stormy plus the 70% Cacao Truffle Turtles (3 piece for $8.50, unless I mixed up the prices). One for the road, Coffee Drop, &2.75 per piece just to try. It was very good, smooth, not overly sweet but I could not detect the coffee taste, but it was quite delectable. Imagine the dimensions of 8 x 8 ft of a shop, the display case at the center towards the back a tad. If you're facing the case, another display case (shelf, no refrigerated) will be on your left with cacao nibs packages. There's a metal bench in front of the shop under the awning of the structure. Debra was personable & attentive. She mentioned that the hours have changed to 12 noon to 5 pm daily. Additionally, she said they've expanded the shop about a square foot recently. I love supporting local businesses & this place gets the thumbs up. FYI, keep the treats cold, they're delicate, or eat them quickly--no problem there. Hahaha Luckily we have a cooler in the car to keep them chilled.

This definitely is a place to visit to try chocolate! Truffles - the outside has a crunchy perfect shell - and the inside of the truffle is very soft and melts in your mouth.

My wife had been wanting to make her own chocolate bar for years and I was primarily interested in…read morethe process every time we come to Kauai. Well, we finally pulled the trigger on it and did the experience...and it was well worth it. Lance, the owner and instructor was fantastic. With only 8 spots available, you have to book this as soon as it is available. The shop is only 300 sq. Ft. So any more people would be too much and the set up was perfect. It is amazing this small space produces the chocolate! The overall lesson is great because he takes you from bean to chocolate. This is not tree to chocolate because he doesn't have the trees nor does he have the pods and that part of the collection process (however, Lance, if you or your wife are reading this, it might be a great future endeavor to have an option to work with one of your partners and add on the collection tour before!). While he doesn't have the collection process, Lance does an excellent job speaking to the process once beans are collected. From there, the chocolate making and tasting process is thoroughly explained and you are part of it. Finally, making your chocolate is a lot of fun and there are roughly 30 ingredients you can use for your 2 bars. I personally made: an Indian spice flavor chocolate for half a bar, coconut sea salt for second half, matcha coconut sea salt for 3rd half, and coffee bean sea salt for last). Bring your creativity! Thank you Lance for this fantastic experience.

Grab some food like spam musubi which was our fave to eat for your hikes or the beach. They have bentos and a variety of sweet and salty items but don't go too late as they do run out.

ABC stores bought them out about 7 yrs ago, so save your receipts for "gifts". We did check out the "shack" outside the entrance to the market to partake in their lunch options. We both bought their beef and broccoli lunch specials ($12). I requested to have double rice instead of the dreaded Mac salad. After waiting almost 30 minutes for our lunch- I received Mac salad instead of my double rice. Although overall a decent deal- the beef was tough, it had ok flavors- but to be honest, I've had better B&B a home (Dallas). Oh well- will try something else another time for a 2nd chance.
