Slowcocoa mindful craft chocolate | handcrafted from bean to compost, plants to personality in the bronx, nyc

09/03/2026

Our crowd fund campaign did not reach our goal!

We’re still celebrating.

As a white-owned business, we have plenty access to capital - even as it doesn’t feel like it most days. Yes, we’re struggling - mindful chocolate, from cacao to compost, is crazy expensive to make, y’all. But the need for wealth redistribution remains our North Star. This has never been about the chocolate.

Craft chocolate is our medium. The art is showing up. Recentering “sweetness” as more than candy. Raising the bar.

Sweetness starts in relationship: to community, food, ourselves.

We’re on a mission to become the first 100% worker-owned craft chocolate maker cooperative by 2035.

Thanks for joining us for the ride 🍫🥂🩵

& lots of other hands & hearts & generations - yes - of care.

Our work was never intended to be “convenient” or expedient or efficient or optimized. The more typos the better, we say.

F*CK AI for suggesting we should ever want something else.

These hands are enough! You are enough! Our creativity, intelligence, art, talent, curiosity… it’s enough. F AI for making any of us believe we must do or be anything more than what this human allows in this very moment.

Also let’s be clear…AI could never make chocolate 🤷‍♀️💅

Oh hello August & watermelon & peaches!

Surely not me thinking of winter holiday gift shopping in August…

But why not? If you were to tell me, I could support my local chocolate maker & SAVE 20% on my holiday gift shopping, I would say yes of course that is a cool idea which I will accept joyfully & share with all my friends & neighbors & school teachers & yoga instructors & work colleagues & loved ones 😍😎

It’s true: save 20% while helping us fundraise!

This fall marks 5 years since our first farmers market. To celebrate, now through the end of August, save 20% when you buy a gift card with promo code SLOW20. It never expires; redeem when we launch our new packaging this November. Thank you to all who have supported so far!

GIFT CARD SALE.

This fall, slowcocoa celebrates 5 years since our first farmers market. We’re so grateful to announce the next stage of our growth.

To get there, we’re asking for your help.

Folks often ask us, “where can we find you during the week?” Nearly two years in the works, we are SO excited to share this rebirthing of slowcocoa | mindful craft chocolate in the form of our new packaging. So many humans have contributed their full selves to make this idea come to fruition. We need your to make the final push.

For a limited time, save 20% on your holiday shopping when you purchase a slowcocoa | mindful craft chocolate gift card. Buy a $50 gift card for $40, or a $100 gift card for $80. Use promo code “SLOW20” at checkout. No expiration date. Redeem when we launch our new packaging this fall!

We’re looking to raise $25,000 in gift card pre-sales. That will allow us to purchase cacao beans, and print the first run of our new packaging.

Thanks for supporting mindful chocolate 🩵
