Amazing little shop that sells vinyl and artisan chocolate and marzipan from Belgium. Lovely unique shop in Ballard
If you love chocolate this is the place. they got molds for making your own chocolate. The chocolate man has some really good chocolate they make them self too.
I adore this shop! Wishing they will branch out to the Eastside! Amazing drinking chocolate. (Please don't be afraid to try it with a higher cocoa percentage content, my favorite is 88 per cent).They also have some small gems every time I visit, e.g. exotic olives, small batch italian tomato sauce, or marzipan. And, of course, beautiful chocolate bars from all over the world.
This place is perfection. Wine, chocolate, cheese, and records! These are a few of my favorite things. They are extremely knowledgeable in all of their products and it is a very comfortable atmosphere. Their products are all top-notch but also reasonable. I highly recommend coming here and trying a little bit of everything.
Incredible cheese and chocolate. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Chocolate heaven! the hot chocolate and the chocolates are little drops of heaven!We were in Greenwood and came across this highly rated chocolate shop. This is an Italian inspired chocolate shop which has lots of chocolates from all over the world, coffee and tea. They also have vinyl collection!We ordered Hot Chocolate which was made of Venezuelan Dark Chocolate (65%). It was one of the smoothest & silkiest chocolate drink we ever had.The owner gave us a brief intro about the store and we ordered truffles from Laderach brand. We took the Cardamon and Coconut flavors created by Laderach based on Indian flavors. Both of these chocolates took us back to our favorite Indian desserts based on Cardamon and Coconut! They were amazing!we also got a taste of new Chocolates from San Francisco. it was a dark chocolate made by Orange peels. You could taste the orange as well!The owner also mentioned that they are opening a new Italian sandwich shop across the street!This store is right at the intersection of a 4 way stop sign and has limited parking in front of the store; you can find street parking on either side.Lastly, this store is bit expensive and charges for the quality of the products they have!
Hands down the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had!
What a Pleasant Surprise! Very friendly Very well merchandised & attractive functional product presentation. A Wonderful Experience!!
It is unique and adorable exactly what you want in a neighborhood shop. This shop is full of decadent chocolate you can't buy anywhere else in the area, Italian gourmand items, tea, coffee and (oddly enough) vinyl. You can come here to get a ridiculously rich cup of "drinking chocolate" and pair it with a David Bowie box set of classic records. The selection is small for everything here but it is all interesting and worth the look.
This is my favorite place to go in the city. I stopped in one pre-valentine's day to pick up some goodies and the lovely proprietor, Janet, was extremely kind, patient and funny with a choco-novice such as myself. She asked me about my girlfriend's tastes and what she liked and then proceeded to make some considerate, next-level recommendations. I took her advice, and the feedback from my girlfriend was an instantaneous wide-eyed look like she had been shook, and she said this was the best chocolate she had ever tasted. This was about 2 years ago and in a pinch when I want to impress someone or thank them for helping me, this is the first and last place I go. The products are ethically-sourced and she has wide selections from all over the world. They also have a nice selection of wines and even a record store definitely worth checking out. Quick with a good story and an easy smile, she and her staff are among the nicest people I have met in the city. I tell you this freely and with no agenda other than the chance to make your day much better just like they do for me every time I come here. Thank you for what you folks do. Try the hot chocolate too, it may change your life...
