Q sweet (Chinese: 巧克力菁點) is a chocolatier and dessert shop based in Taipei, Taiwan. The business produces handmade chocolate items including truffles, soft-centred confections, and chocolate bars. Q sweet has also created seasonal gift boxes for holidays such as Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day.[2][3]

The company was founded by Queenie Wu (Chinese: 吳葵妮). According to interviews and brand materials, Wu began making chocolate after studying confectionery techniques in Europe and later established Q sweet in Taipei.[4] The company prepares most products by hand and uses cocoa sourced from multiple regions.[5]

Q sweet has participated in the International Chocolate Awards (ICA) since 2019.[6] In 2023, the company won three golds, two silvers and one bronze medal, plus six special prizes at the 2023 International Chocolate Awards (ICA) World Final.[7] In 2024, Wu received media attention for winning three golds, two silvers and two bronze medals, plus two special prizes at the 2024 Asia-Pacific Bean-to-Bar and Craft Chocolatier Competition despite experiencing smell blindness caused by COVID-19.[8][9][10]

Items sold includes chocolate truffles, assorted gift sets, and themed boxes such as the "Cocoa Bean World Tour" collection. The main shop is located in the Daan District, Taipei.[11]
