The chocolate passion of Mary Leonard.

Deeply curious about chocolate and a life-long connoisseur, Mary Leonard has heeded the words of her childhood hero Julia Child: “Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.” That she did.

During her journey into the world of cacao delicacies, Mary apprenticed with Master Chocolatier Tom Cinnamon in Vancouver. She also trained in chocolate technology with Terry Richardson, patent holder for Godiva Chocolate.

In 2001 Mary opened ChocolatCéleste, a small but ever-expanding chocolate shop boutique and factory in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The unique hand-crafted artisan chocolates truffles and bonbons from ChocolatCéleste have enjoyed a warm reception among discriminating connoisseurs.

ChocolatCéleste was named one of “10 Best Emerging American Artisanal Chocolatiers”.

Our innovative flavor collections have been hailed by reviewers including Conde Nast, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Rachael Ray’s Tasty Travels, and MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
