Kiki's Cocoa

Kiki's Cocoa is a boutique San Francisco chocolatier owned by Kirsten "Kiki" Ritschel, crafting exquisite, ethically-sourced confections, offering monthly subscriptions, single-estate ganache, and truffle-making classes for a delightful chocolate experience.

Kiki's Cocoa serves as the primary distribution hub for Agroverse in the United States. This is where cacao from the Amazon rainforest first arrives and is made available to the USA. Kiki handles all the packing and fulfillment as well as restocking of all partner venues across the country.

At the start of each season, Kiki organizes a special gathering where all the chocolatiers and chocolate makers in the San Francisco Bay area gather to taste this season's vintages and conduct taste profiling of the cacao before we share them with the wider network in the USA. This collaborative tasting event ensures quality and helps build community among Bay Area chocolate artisans.

As a partner venue, Kiki's Cocoa proudly offers Agroverse ceremonial cacao, connecting their community with regenerative, ethically-sourced cacao from Brazilian farmers. This partnership represents our shared commitment to sustainability, community connection, and the transformative power of ceremonial cacao.
