When it comes to chocolate, the magic starts from the cacao pod and near the end, blossoms in the hands of a chocolatier. Chocolate makers not only create an artisan product that tastes decadent, but also pretty designs enhance the experience. What started as a ceremonial drinking tradition has transformed into various sweet and savory dishes and delicacies worldwide.
We’re lucky to have a handful of chocolate makers and chocolatiers in Austin that share their craft. These are great options for picking up a gift or discovering somewhere new in your neighborhood.
Listed in alphabetical order, here are six companies to find chocolate in and around Austin!
Delysia Chocolatier
Specializing in chocolate truffles, Delysia Chocolatier’s elegant boxed sets feature fun flavors and colorful designs. Their seasonal collections help you celebrate the holidays.

Edis Chocolate
This chocolate shop and bakery is a sweet treat, and you’ll want to visit in person to see the full selection. Choose from chocolate truffles and chocolate desserts like flourless cake and hazelnut amaretto torte. I had the best chocolate cupcake I’ve ever eaten, and the torte and truffles were delicious.

Ecuadorian Chocolate Factory
This is a full bean-to-bar production, founded and owned by locals. The beans come from the family farm in Ecuador, and in-store, you’ll be able to see how the cacao nibs transform into chocolate bars, chocolate bark, truffles, and more. I recommend the 85% chocolate bar and the toffee bark.

Founded in Michigan in 1947, Kilwins focuses on hand-crafted chocolates and sweets. Fudge and caramel are made on-site, and they also sell the brand’s ice cream. This franchise location is the only store in Austin, and one of 11 stores in Texas.

For a variety of craft chocolate goodies and to support an Asian-owned business, KESSHŌ is a great option. This Austin-based company makes single-origin bean-to-bar chocolate bars, some with Asian ingredients like hojicha, yuzu, and black sesame. At their trailer, you can also get gelato and baked goods made with their chocolate.
