Wilbur Chocolate Store

Ask any local, and they’ll confirm that no trip to Lititz is complete without a visit to the Wilbur Chocolate Store.

Wilbur Chocolate is a Pennsylvania-grown, family-founded brand with a popular retail business offering small-batch confections, chocolate gifts, and—its defining creation—silky smooth Wilbur Buds. Founded by Mr. H.O. Wilbur in Philadelphia in 1894, the company shifted its operation to Lititz in the early 1930s. Today, the Wilbur Chocolate Store and former factory (now The Wilbur Lititz hotel) are beloved local landmarks.

The company’s ethos, as embodied by the Bud, is simple: Exceptional chocolate shouldn’t be complicated. The velvety smooth drop has a look inspired by a flower bud and a distinctive taste inspired by fine cocoa. Available in semisweet and milk chocolate varieties, the Bud is still made according to the original recipe and manufactured in the heart of Central PA.

To make its full line of treats, which also includes bars, baking ingredients, and chocolate-dipped creations, Wilbur Chocolate lets simple ingredients shine. Sustainably sourced cocoa beans, fine dairy, and real vanilla combine to create unmistakably rich chocolate that families have fallen in love with for more than 135 years.

Plan your tour of Lititz around a visit to the Wilbur Chocolate Store, home to an on-site kitchen where confections are mixed, drizzled, and dipped by hand. You’ll find a mouthwatering array of truffles, caramels, toffees, and more—as well as those famous Buds.

What Our Customers

Excellent customer service, very accommodating and responsive to messages, and the Chocolates are the best!

Obsessed with the mud puppies! These are the absolute best chocolates in the case, in my opinion. I get them everytime I come to your shop! Eating one right now.

Wilbur's has the best chocolate by far than any other chocolate company I can think of. Their Shah Bars are pretty fabulous. Their spicy candies are amazing.

We came up from Connecticut for a tour and it was fantastic. Everyone was so nice. We learned a lot about chocolate. Definitely worth a trip.

TONS of choices!!! Gift items & souvenirs..licorice, white chocolate, dark chocolate, sea salt caramels...so much to pick from. Staff is friendly and helpful.

A great little gem in Maine! We visited Wilbur's of Maine and did the factory tour. It was fun and informative! The chocolate shop has so much great product for sale besides chocolate too.

Unbelievable. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I was breathless at the intoxicating smells, tastes, and sounds of this culinary Meca of chocolate from the beautiful state of Maine.
