From locally sourced cacao to award-winning chocolate, Vanua Chocolate Café is showcasing Fiji’s growing cocoa industry through its craft chocolate experience.
Established in 2018, Vanua Chocolate Café is now located at 15 Nasilivata Road, Namaka.
The café is part of a Fijian craft chocolate organisation and serves as an extension of its chocolate offerings.
Customers can enjoy chocolate sampling, chocolate-related food, pastries, drinks and other chocolate products at the café.
Beyond its food and drink offerings, the café also provides a platform for chocolate tours and education.
Through these tours and experiences, tourists and customers can learn more about Fiji’s growing cocoa industry and gain a better understanding of the journey behind the chocolate.
A key part of Vanua Chocolate’s work is its vertically integrated supply chain, which allows the organisation to source award-winning cacao directly from more than 100 organic farmers. The cacao is then transformed into award-winning chocolate right here at origin in Fiji.
This direct connection with farmers allows Vanua Chocolate to be closely involved in the journey from cacao to chocolate, while highlighting the quality of cacao produced by local farmers.
The café brings together these elements under one roof, offering customers an opportunity to taste chocolate while learning more about Fiji’s cocoa industry.
With its focus on Fijian craft chocolate, farmer connections, chocolate experiences and education, Vanua Chocolate Café continues to provide a platform for showcasing the country’s growing cocoa industry.
Located in Namaka, the café offers customers and tourists a chance to experience chocolate made from award-winning Fijian cacao and learn more about the journey from the farm to the finished product.
