Choco le'a

Absolutely amazing customer service! We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door and asked if there was anything in particular we were looking for. The associate was really patient with us and took the time to explain what chocolates they had, drinks offered and mentioned that the soft-serve was available. My daughter and I decided to get some chocolates and the Iced Choco Le'a Chocolate Drink. The drinks were absolutely amazing and not too sweet.. We both got a variety of chocolates and I'm so happy I tried their most popular flavors along with a limited time flavor: Lilikoi, Triple Chocolate, Tiramisu, and Affogato. All of the chocolates were delicious and I'll definitely back to try the other flavors.If you're in the Manoa area, I highly recommend that you stop by for some amazing chocolates!

I used to pass by Choco Le'a a lot after watching shows at Manoa Theater, but never had the chance to visit until recently. I wish I had visited sooner because this spot ended up being one of my favorite places to get chocolate My dad and I got their 4pc truffle set! The flavors we picked out were: Lilikoi, Affogato, Mint Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream!The chocolate was tempered perfectly, as it had a beautiful crunch to it and a generous amount of filling. Each description for the truffles were spot on as the specific flavors shined through without it overpowering the chocolate experience. I cannot wait to come back again to try their icecream, now that they are back in stock again!The staff were warm and welcoming and were happy to help with any questions that we had. They did a breakdown of their flavors, as well as any specialty holiday items they may have. The inside small and intimate with a little area to look out the window. The mountain views were stumning.There is not much dedicated parking, mainly street parking. The reason for 4 stars is due to the pricing. Comparing price to taste is great. However, price to piece in general may be a bit steep.

In a world with sub par chocolate options Choco le'a is wonderful. Everything I have tasted to date has been excellent. Their Special Hot cocoa mix, truffle boxes and their reverse crunch a le'a all are dangerous. I have yet to try their dark chocolate dipped fruit. 72% dark chocolate bars are heaven and dark chocolate is the healthiest chocolate. All chocolate is created by their chocolatiers. It's a small shop you might have a wait. Parking is street parking or across from their shop is an Aloha gas station. Don't forget to sign up for their emails. New Years Mochi Truffle Box was an Email only invite, sign up for their emails.

My son brought a box of assorted chocolate truffles home for my birthday, and it was so smooth and delicious. They genuinely make it not as sweet as other stores, and it was surely a special treat for a special occasion. Although expensive, it was the best truffles I've eaten.

I'm missing my their hot chocolate and chips!! However, I saw they have an iced chocolate drink!! Hello! I couldn't resist. They are all ready for Ty w holidays. Decorated the front so cutely! It's only Hawaii that one would get excited about an iced chocolate drink during the winter. If dark chocolate is your jam!! This is the place to satisfy your dark fix! I love that they pivoted and still offered an iced chocolate non-dairy drink (oat milk) and an iced chocolate tea. Ya'll know what hat that means right? I have to come back and try the their chocolate iced tea. I can't wait to try it. The only one I've tried is Twinnings chocolate tea. I'm looking forward to coming and trying it. They have al their Christmas favorites al packaged and ready for you to get as gifts. I bought the reverse chocolate crunch, and a hot chocolate mix. Today was a selfish visit. It's all for me today!! LOL.

WARNING: addicting!Ok, if you eat chocolates from here you will never feel the same about the good old fashion Reese's or hersheys. This chocolate is smooth and decadent. Everything is so good! The crunch a lea is my favorite! The only downside is that everything is pricey and you cannot eat it on a weekly basis. I wish that I could! I like that they have holiday special menus. It makes for fun gifts. Looking forward to coming here again.There is an order online option for those that do not want to wait.

Want something special and sweet for a gift or party and different from the shortbread cookies that we typically give each other here in Hawaii? I was happy to find my classy party favors here at this cute and charming artisanal chocolate shop specializing in truffles. The chocolates, possibly the best and most refined locally made, are smooth, rich and beautifully crafted. They're petite but concentrated in flavor. You can purchase boxes in a variety of sizes ranging from a single chocolate for $2.99, box of 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 or 18 pieces for $54.99. To customize flavors you must pay extra. The chocolates are displayed in order of popularity starting with the triple chocolate as #1. In addition to their traditional flavors, they also have specialty flavors including birthday cake, lava flow, and shave ice which is rainbow colored inside and comes with a pineapple imprint on the top that sold me. It's amazing how they are able to distill and recreate familiar flavors into a little truffle. They come with a little menu that names each truffle. The store also serves samples of some of their other items. My two favorite truffles of the few I tried were the lilikoi and butterscotch liqueur. They serve samples but not of the truffles. They also have some seasonal items for Halloween right now if you want exclusive gourmet "candy".

To be honest with you - I'm not a huge fan of chocolate or sweets. However, I saw that they had soft cream soft serve and that totally sparked my interest! I've tried their collab with sage creamery last year and that was by far one of my favorite flavors that I had to try this one! The flavors includes vanilla, chocolate, or swirl. You can also add on a drizzle of chocolate on the top for no extra charge.It is a personal serving for one person for $5. I got the swirl (no drizzle today) since I had my dog with me and I was scared that he might get a little taste. They also have a rewards program + a email list. I just received a email for a free truffle for my next visit. There is a cute patio outside too so just sit back and relax and enjoy your soft serve :) Parking is either on the street or in that shared parking lot with the dog groomers and Hawaii doggie bakery. I think it would totally be a cute idea to have some doggy snacks too since they're surrounding these businesses and Hawaii doggy bakery isn't always open as often as they used to. Service was super friendly too! I'm definitely going to come back to try all the diff flavors :)

Definitely a special treat kind of shop. Presentation is beautiful. Tried some truffles and they definitely were a delight.

Such a cute chocolate shop in Manoa! I haven't been here for a while. They are famous for dark chocolate truffles! I got 4 pieces truffle box, I chose Lilikoi, Gau (Chinese new year special) and 2 more. Good chocolates made me happy, I just need one yummy great piece of chocolate for a day to make me smile! Their staff is very friendly and giving us a great customer service. They are located near the Manoa Market Place. I usually park in the market place and walk to there. Or I Can catch the bus #6 from Ala Moana Center! If catching the bus, get off at the Manoa Market Place stop since the bus usually stops at the bus stop for 10 minutes.
