This charming chocolate shop in Maine has earned recognition as one of the best from several food publications, including Dessert Professional Magazine. Known for its exceptional confections made from sustainably sourced ingredients, it’s a must-visit for all chocolate lovers.

Ragged Coast Chocolates has strong ties to Maine’s culinary scene. Founded in 2007 by Kate and Steve on the remote Isle au Haut, the shop later moved to Westbrook, making its handcrafted delights more accessible. Despite the move, their dedication to high quality and local ingredients remains steadfast.

What makes their chocolates unique? They use single-origin, sustainably grown cacao from Latin America and Hawaii paired with fresh cream, butter, fruits, herbs, and even edible flowers from Maine farms. This commitment to excellence means every bite bursts with rich, authentic flavors.

When you visit their cozy factory store, located alongside Portland Pie Co., you’ll find shelves filled with signature collections, including limited edition treats exclusive to the shop. If you visit at the right time, you might glimpse the chocolate-making process through the viewing window, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at their craft.

As you browse, you'll find something for everyone. A favorite is the Grand Assortment of Milk and Dark Chocolate Truffles, which includes a delicious mix of flavors like bees & flowers, lemon white chocolate, and hazelnut latté, along with the popular flagship sea salt caramels.

If you’re craving something warm, their drinking chocolate is equally tempting, featuring options like classic dark, dirty chai, and matcha green tea white chocolate - perfect for sipping on a chilly Maine day.

They also offer premium baking ingredients, mixes, and cookbooks so you can whip up delicious creations at home.

Whether picking up a gift or indulging yourself, you'll discover Ragged Coast Chocolates excels in quality, flavor, and craftsmanship. Their focus on sustainability and fresh ingredients sets them apart in Maine’s chocolate scene.
