About Honest Chocolate

Honest Chocolate began in 2010 when friends Anthony Gird and Michael de Klerk set out to create the kind of chocolate they couldn’t find locally. What started as small batches shared with friends quickly revealed a bigger appetite and a clear gap in the market. Honest Chocolate produces bean-to-bar chocolate using organically grown Tanzanian cacao, ethically sourced through a trusted partnership with Kokoa Kamili. Every bar is made by hand in their Woodstock Factory, with a focus on simple, high-quality ingredients, just organic cacao and unrefined sugar, resulting in chocolate that’s rich, pure, and full of character. Their Chocolate Café offers a relaxed space to experience it all. From expertly brewed coffee and hot chocolate to truffles, brownies, cakes, and vegan-friendly treats, it’s a go-to for chocolate lovers. Signature favourites include dairy-free milkshakes, the “coconut dream,” and a range of indulgent desserts.
