Our Story
We are celebrating 17 years
Nestled in St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, on the eastern edge of North America,
we are a family-owned company making artisan chocolate the old fashioned way.
This year we are celebrating 17 years from our humble beginnings in our home to our original headquarters on Duckworth Street and finally, to our amazing cafe and factory
on Torbay Road.
We built our brand through fun-filled events like our chocolate tastings and classes and our custom corporate and wedding offerings. Our amazing, supportive wholesalers weren't afraid to take a chance on our little business with big dreams.
We built our company on our wonderful partnerships with Parks Canada, opening our first cafe retail location on Signal Hill. Throwing caution to the wind, we jumped into malls creating beautiful chocolate-inspired cafes and retail stores in the Avalon Mall as well as in Nova Scotia. We were thrilled to open our St. John's airport location as it allowed us a chance to send little pieces of Newfoundland all over the world and introduce 'Come From Away' folks to Newfoundland and our artisan tradition.
In, 2019, our dream of a factory came true when we opened 141 Torbay Road. This amazing facility allowed us to raise our quality even higher and branch into new products we had only imagined.
We emerged from the challenging years of 'Snowmageddon' and the pandemic stronger and more determined than ever to deliver Newfoundland Chocolate happiness to our customers in Canada and all over the world. Our customers adapted as quickly as we did, appreciating the convenience of our curb-side pick-up and the improved functionality of our e-commerce website.
We love chocolate. We love Newfoundland & Labrador and the amazing culture, traditions, and history of our home. We stand strong because of our incredible team (our chocolate family!) who have joined us along the way on the crazy chocolate ride of twists and turns, challenges and celebrations, in spite of their own struggles and circumstances.
We are The Newfoundland Chocolate Company, a family dedicated to making artisan chocolate and being ambassadors of our beautiful province.
Our adventures are just beginning, come visit us.
We are made here. We are loved everywhere.
