Friends
Chocolate should live beyond the kitchen. From our partnerships with small growers and makers throughout the world to collaborations with artists and illustrators, we’re always looking for new ways to grow the chocolate-making community.
FRONT
A humble cafe with coffee worth bragging about. FRONT maintains all the care of boutique coffee, without the pretension. You’ll find some of their flavors in our chocolates — and if you visit FRONT yourself, Kiki’s Cocoa bites might be there for the perfect coffee + chocolate pairing.

Dandelion Chocolate
A small-batch bean-to-bar craft chocolate maker offering not only the best dark chocolate but also experiences to bring you global adventure for those interested in learning (or nerding out about) the cocoa supply chain and logistics. We joined on a trip to Tanzania where we learned about Kokoa Kamili and the farmers they buy cacao from.
