  • Creamy, luxurious mouthfeel chocolate

Tony’s Chocolonely earns strong reviews for rich, creamy chocolate, inventive flavors like Milk Caramel Sea Salt, Dark Almond Sea Salt, and Dark Milk Pretzel Toffee, plus mission-driven, fair-trade sourcing. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some bars taste overly sweet or bland to dark‑chocolate loyalists, the thick, uneven pieces are hard to break and share, and concerns appear about heavy metals in certain dark varieties and salt intensity in caramel bars.

  • Caramel & seasalt is the best choc bar in existance great ethos & like how they have taken a different approach to chocolate from the traditional choc companies!

  • It’s chocolate. The flavors offered are pretty standard and nothing great.

  • Chocolate has been my absolute favorite food since I was born and after years of trying different brands I can confidently say Tony's is my #1. The only thing they could improve is selling it in Colombia <3

  • I studied Tony's in business school as a great example of a mission-driven business. I tried the chocolate recently, mostly just to support the brand and mission (slavery free chocolate - look it up!), and WOW the chocolate is incredible. Every single flavor is a banger. Excellent chocolate, made even better by knowing your money is supporting a great cause.

  • For me, one of the best chocolates there is out there. Its creamy, the taste is great and you know the source of it on top.

  • Whenever I'm putting together a care package for family back home in NZ I am always sure to include a couple of bars of Tony's Chocolonely. The vibrant fun packaging surrounds a high quality delicious product with an eco conscious mission. I feel good about giving it as a gift.

  • I love Tony's Chocolonely - the packaging is so cute. They're always a crowd pleaser and they taste delicious. I love the dark chocolate almond sea salt (:

  • Love this brand's mission, flavor, product and overall team behind Tony's!

  • I love most of the flavours and prefer the milk chocolate ones. While the block patterns are fun I find myself wishing I could break pieces evenly.

  • Incredibly smooth luxurious chocolate, terrific taste and texture!

  • I loved this chocolate! I received it as a sample on an airplane and when I landed, I was eager to purchase more. It is definitely worth the price and has become a staple in my pantry.

  • Tony's Chocolonely is an exemplary model of what a chocolate bar should be, both in taste and ethics. The bold flavors and creamy texture of the chocolate create an indulgence that is simply delectable. The chunky, uneven pieces add an element of fun, making the experience of eating it even more delightful. What makes Tony's stand out is its commendable commitment to using 100% slavery-free cocoa, highlighting the brand's dedication to social responsibility. While Tony’s Chocolonely is on the pricier side, and some may desire a more refined texture, the exceptional taste and the ethical stand make it worth every penny. A solid 4 stars for a treat that not only satisfies your taste buds but also your conscience.

  • Does not taste like high-quality chocolate. I do love the mission of this brand, though, but the taste is just not there.

  • I love almost every flavor by Tony’s and it’s a great value for the price! I am however disappointed that their dark chocolate tastes more like a baking chocolate than a snacking one.

  • First experience with this brand was over a decade ago in Amsterdam. So lovely that they’ve expanded to the US and are expanding to educate the public on how chocolate is produced. Great cause, wonderful chocolate. If you can snag a seasonal or limited edition flavour, all the better!
