Handcrafted Chocolate Made Fresh in Small Batches, from Bean-to-Bar.
Mystic River Chocolate creates & crafts small farm grown & wild grown rare, heirloom & specialty cacao from around the world.
We are a Connecticut-based company both producing and crafting organic bean-to-bar chocolate in small batches, made fresh. Thirteen years ago, we aimed to create the best tasting organic dark chocolate from organic cacao nibs, for friends, farmer's markets and local retailers. Hundreds of farmers markets later, we created the Mystic River Chocolate Cafe at 12 Water Street in Historic downtown Mystic, Connecticut.
Craft Beer, Made Fresh In-House.
Our Craft Beer is house-made using freshly malted grains, hops and inclusions, fruit, spices and cacao. Our new offerings are delicious and fresh, crafted with as much care as we put into our chocolate. We feature a range of fresh brews, usually featuring a lively IPA, or a smooth Belgian White Ale and a complex and flavorful Nitro Brew Chocolate Stout or Chocolate Ale using our Organic Cacao.

“A bean-to-bar chocolate shop! How can you not pay a visit? Frozen hot chocolate was exactly what was needed after a day spent walking in the sun.
It was delicious. Also had to buy some amazing looking truffles as gifts & an almond toffee chocolate bar to save for later. If you love chocolate, you must go here! Even if you don’t you should still go cause there is ice cream and other treats, too!” – Stacie
What Starts as a Crunchy Bean, Transforms into a Dreamy Elixir.
Mystic River Chocolate Cafe features our signature organic bean-to-bar chocolate made from fresh cacao that is transformed into a dreamy chocolate elixir. We carefully select our ingredients, many unrefined, including raw organic heirloom cacao nibs and unrefined organic sugar, blended with natural, organic fruits, botanicals, herbs and essences.
Our small-batch processing sustains the unique flavors of pure cocoa. We support fair direct trade, sustainable agriculture, and support small cocoa farmers who have learned their trade over generations.
We Buy from Small Farms, and Support Fairly-Traded Cacao.
Mystic River Chocolate purchases heirloom varieties of cacao from small organic cacao farms that have learned their trade over generations. Their cacao is internationally recognized for its high quality and unique flavors. Through careful farming, skillful harvesting, and expert fermentation the growers retain the bean’s natural essence. Our cacao suppliers ensure farmers are paid a fair wage through an ethical and sustainable supply chain.
Everything. Chocolate.
Our signature Mystic River Chocolate coverture is handcrafted into our specialty bars, barks, truffles, chocolate-covered nuts and fruits, confections and more. We make the best handcrafted decadent European-style Mystic River Chocolate Cafe® drinking chocolate, and our very own recipe of soft serve ice cream. Our coffee bar features local-roasted premium organic coffee and espresso. And there are often cupcake specials and surprises.
