Dillsboro Chocolate Factory

Step into the sweet world of Dillsboro Chocolate Factory, a beloved downtown Waynesville attraction that combines artisanal chocolate-making with a cozy coffee shop atmosphere. The skilled chocolatiers craft small-batch truffles daily, including their signature collection named after local Western North Carolina landmarks and attractions. Whether you're craving a rich dark chocolate ganache or prefer sugar-free options, their glass display cases showcase an impressive variety of hand-dipped treats.

The coffee program here stands out just as much as the chocolates. Expert baristas prepare carefully crafted lattes, cappuccinos, and chai drinks using quality beans. The combination of fresh coffee aromas and chocolate-making in action creates an inviting sensory experience as soon as you walk through the door.

Beyond traditional chocolates and confections, visitors appreciate the thoughtfully curated selection of specialty items including locally-made jerkies, loose-leaf teas, and seasonal treats. The knowledgeable staff takes time to help customers select the perfect items, whether you're picking up a gift box or treating yourself to a coffee and truffle pairing.

The shop's location in historic downtown Waynesville makes it an ideal stop while exploring Main Street's shops and galleries. Regular customers especially love watching the chocolate-making process through the viewing window, where you can often see the day's creations taking shape. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and consistently high-quality products have made Dillsboro Chocolate Factory a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists exploring Waynesville's downtown district.
