This is a destination for the chocolate-obsessed, combining a high-end boutique shop with an interactive farm tour that takes you from bean to bar. The sipping chocolate and frozen hot chocolate are the real stars here, and the tour is a fantastic way to actually understand the process of growing cacao and coffee. If you're looking for a quick, no-frills coffee stop or a minimalist specialty coffee shop, this isn't it—this is a full sensory experience centered around the cacao bean.
Hale Kokoleka, meaning House of Chocolate in Hawaiian, is set to become the flagship location of Puna Chocolate Company. This nearly 80-year-old building has a rich history, serving the Kainaliu community at the entrance of Southern Kona in various capacities, from a theater rehearsal space to a car repair garage. The true gem of the Hale Cocoa is the 14 acres of farmland in the back, which we have transformed into an 8-acre park for guests to explore Hawaiian agriculture and island plants.
