Welcome to Giles Chocolatier, New Plymouth’s boutique destination for premium handmade chocolate. Nestled on St Aubyn Street in the heart of Taranaki, our artisan chocolate shop offers a unique and unforgettable experience for chocolate lovers seeking something beyond the ordinary.
A Taste of Passion and Craftsmanship
Every piece of chocolate at Giles Chocolatier is a product of passion, precision, and creativity. Founder and chocolatier Gavin Giles brings decades of culinary expertise from his background in hospitality and fine pastry, training in Europe under leading chefs before returning to New Zealand to pursue his vision.
Our chocolates are crafted in small batches using only the finest ingredients, with an emphasis on freshness, creativity, and bold flavours. From classic truffles to unexpected combinations like Bacon Tablette or Black Doris Plum, each creation is designed to surprise and delight.
Locally Made, Locally Loved
Situated in a beautifully restored 1930s building, Giles Chocolatier is more than just a store – it’s a local experience. Whether you’re visiting for a coffee and treat in our cozy storefront or ordering online for delivery across New Zealand, every bite tells a story of quality and care.
We’re proud to support the Taranaki community and New Zealand suppliers. Our seasonal collections – from Easter bunnies to gift boxes – are thoughtfully designed and locally inspired, making them perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate gifting, or simply indulging yourself.
