About us

Bumble bean Chocolates began as just an idea back in 2011 with Leo’s daughter Despina. They began selling small handmade chocolates out of a food van at market stalls. The business quickly gained popularity, and they began selling out of a small storefront in Stuart Park. Business was booming so they upsized the shop to our current location here in Stuart Park. Despina then sold the business to Leo in 2018 to focus on accounting, and Leo officially became head Chocolatier at Bumble bean Chocolates. Leo continues to create new and exciting flavours for everyone to try and keeps the territory specialty flavours alive.

Bumble bean chocolates use world renowned Belgian Callebaut chocolate to give you the ultimate sweet culinary experience. Callebaut chocolate is ethically-sourced, made using sustainable cocoa beans from West Africa and processed in one of the oldest cocoa roasteries in the world. Our independent factory produces the very best in dark, milk, white and vegan chocolates, which are available in a wide variety of options.

Choose from individual truffles, gift boxes, hampers, and even bars made using local Northern Territory flavours, like our iconic Chocodile! As well as your favourite traditional flavours, we offer a wide variety of vegan and sugar-free options, and are the only place in NT where you can get Callebaut’s exclusive Ruby chocolate.

Add some of our childhood classics into the mix, like honeycomb, toffee and liquorice, and you’re in sweet heaven… We love chocolate as much as we love the Territory!

You can also find our chocolates in a number of stockists across the city, including Parap Fine Foods, Crazy Acres, and our very own on-site factory shop front in Stuart Park. Just look out for our iconic bee logo in-store to find genuine Bumble Bean Chocolates. In addition to our classic chocolates, we are able to create bespoke favours for weddings, christenings, birthday parties, corporate events and much more.
