Charlotte Kryska

Charlotte is the chocolatier and owner of Hapa Chocolat, a small craft chocolate company focused on using single origin chocolate and the flavors hidden inside them. And for the past three years, her bread and butter has been making croissants for Voyager Craft Coffee. She got started fueling her passion—and her friends and family—at home in her own kitchen, growing up with a lot of importance on good food and Food Network. She ventured from her own kitchen into kitchens all over the Bay Area 14 years ago working as a cake decorator, restaurant pastry chef, morning baker, midday baker, late night baker and even a poke prep cook. Chocolate and croissants were the two things she took away the most from her days as a student at Le Cordon Bleu in London and has worked her way to making those her main focus in her career. She also shares her food knowledge with anyone who will listen through in-person training and written and video formats.
