HEY, I’M ZAC!
I'M HAPPY YOU'RE HERE.
It started with a 13-year-old obsessed with chocolate. Today, Zac’s Sweet Shop is reimagining the chocolate shop—handmaking nostalgic treats with a lot more flavor, fun, and delicious chaos from our Los Angeles kitchen to your doorstep.

ZAC'S SWEET JOURNEY
2003: Little Zac, Big Dreams
I’ve been obsessed with chocolate for as long as I can remember. As a kid, if I wasn’t eating it, I was melting, dipping, and drizzling it for everyone around me. I was a little chocolatier before I even knew what that meant—and I fell in love with the magic of making people happy through chocolate.
2012: Zac’s Sweet Shop was born
At 13, a trip to the mall changed everything. The chocolate boxes I saw felt expensive, predictable, and honestly… boring. I knew chocolate could be more fun. So I convinced (or maybe demanded) my mom let me start my own business—and Zac’s Sweet Shop was born.
2019: Pittsburgh to Los Angeles
Then came USC. As a first-generation college student, I packed my bags in Pittsburgh and moved across the country to Los Angeles. Less than a year in, I realized I couldn’t live without my Sweet Shop. So I found a commercial kitchen, started shipping chocolate nationwide, and never looked back.
2020: Beyoncé Approved!
Then 2020 changed everything. In the middle of COVID, we gained a pretty unexpected fan: BEYONCÉ. She named Zac’s one of her favorite Black-owned businesses, putting our little Sweet Shop in front of the world—and sending our growth into overdrive.
2023: A year of collaborations
From there, the Sweet Shop kept growing. We brought our chocolate into unexpected worlds through collaborations with some of our favorite brands—from Tower 28 Beauty to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—and even took Zac’s to NYC for our first-ever bi-coastal pop-up.
2024: New nostalgia
For the first time ever, we launched fully branded packaging which means an even more fun aesthetic, longer shelf life, and rolling out into stores. Our new look doesn’t change those same nostalgic flavors, quality ingredients, and the fun that we hope to bring back to boxes of chocolates.
2025: Meet Dessert Cereal
Then came our first new product in three years: Dessert Cereal. Our take on the nostalgic puppy chow we grew up loving—upgraded with fair-trade chocolate, quality ingredients, and playful flavors like Cookie Butter & Cream and Cake Batter Crunch. A childhood favorite, reimagined the Zac’s way.
