Business Details
Kin + Pod creates small-batch, ethically made bean-to-bar chocolate using cacao sourced from sustainable farms in Colombia and Venezuela. It sells award-winning creations of gluten-free and vegan options alongside unique chocolate bars. It also has handmade ice cream, and a curated selection of specialty coffee from Khaos Coffee.
Our Perspective
Kin + Pod stands out for its commitment to ethical chocolate production and exceptional quality. From sourcing cacao to crafting chocolate, every step is rooted in transparency and care. Their Tumaco Colombia beans support farmers who’ve shifted to sustainable cacao farming, earning them higher incomes while improving the flavour quality of their beans. Similarly, their Trincheras Venezuela cacao highlights the dedication of local producers to preserving unique flavours and nuances.
The chocolate itself speaks volumes. Bestsellers like the Milk Chocolate Espresso Sponge Toffee offer a satisfying crunch with rich, smooth flavour. Vegan options, such as the 74% Toasted Sea Salt Almond Bar, cater to a range of dietary needs while delivering bold tastes. For a lighter experience, the Vegan Coconut Milk and Candied Cacao Nib Bar offers a creamy texture with a hint of sweetness. Ice cream enthusiasts will find inventive flavours like Blackberry Goat Cheese and Blueberry Yuzu, all crafted with gluten-free ingredients, adding a touch of indulgence to the experience.
The coffee selection from Khaos Coffee which operates an espesso bar inside complements the chocolate beautifully. The beans are roasted on-site and they offer distinct roasts like the Rwanda Medium Roast with notes of citrus and pineapple or the Ecuador Dark Roast with milk chocolate and nougat undertones. Each cup reflects the same dedication to quality as their chocolate, making Kin + Pod a destination for those who value thoughtful, ethical craftsmanship.
