K K Chocolate

K K Chocolate is tucked away at Aundh 1st Cross, near Model Colony in Yeshwanthpura No 5. It’s not a very large place, so you might miss it if you aren't looking closely. We started out because we just liked making things at home. Eventually, it turned into this little shop. We spend most of our time in the back where the temperature is kept low. Working with chocolate can be tricky because of the heat in this city. If the cooling goes off for even a bit, we have a real problem on our hands. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. It’s just us and a couple of helpers who have been with us for years. We wrap most of the stuff by hand, so the edges aren't always perfect, but that’s how you know a person did it. Sometimes we try out a new mix of ingredients and let the regulars taste it to see what they think. We don't spend money on big ads or fancy signs. Most people hear about us from their neighbors or friends who live around here. The shelves are usually full in the morning and look a bit bare by the time we close up at night. It’s a lot of work, and our hands often smell like cocoa even after we go home, but we don’t mind. It is just what we do every day.
