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!

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.

Great chocolates for your sweetheart. Also very select wines!! Update: she carries some very nice prosciutto and other meats now as well.They sell records there too now as well as some band related stuff like t-shirts. It will be a nice place to have a snack once this pandemic is over.

It is unique and adorable exactly what you want in a neighborhood shop. This shop is full of decadent chocolate you cant 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.

Amazing chocolate from small makers. Lots of varieties not found elsewhere. I got some great chocolates for my sweetheart here too.Last time we shared some memorable hot chocolate, and enjoyed the vintage records they play. There is also a carefully curated selection of wine. Obviously chocolate goes well with wine.It would be great if they could have some outdoor seating... in the morning when the sun hits.Photo of wines from small independent winemakers of Chile

This is my favorite place to go in the city. I stopped in one pre-valentines 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 girlfriends 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...

This place is really cute and very good at curated chocolate bars. You get the best hot chocolate in Seattle irrespective of your leaning towards dark or milky chocolate tastes. There is also a great selection of chocolate bars of limited selection.

Chocolate, wines, cheese, Italian meets - all from dedicated small producers.The chocolate is a world to explore here. I liked on that had Fig in it, but she also guided me to several others that were unique and phenomenal - the kind of stuff where a nibble goes a long way - much like the wines...

A wonderful little shop with lots of wine, cheese, and of course, chocolate! The chocolate is all sustainably sourced, and I highly recommend having some drinking chocolate - you can even request a specific cacao percentage (I like 80%). Theres also a nice selection of vinyl to peruse while you wait. But seriously, try the drinking chocolate.

I love this shop. I started going here for the drinking chocolate mix (house made) once I realized my fav coffeehouse mocha used it. I use this mix daily to make mochas at home. Then I got more hooked because they sell the best chocolate disks for baking, and great small batch chocolate bars like Fruition. Service is always excellent and great vibe, too.

This little corner cafe esc hole in the wall is outstanding. We walked in and were instantly greeted by the sweetest lady. (Makes sense because she is surrounded by sweets) She helped us figure out what to get and my oh my. Their drinking chocolate is like liquid silk and just makes you feel so warm. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was even better. I’m glad I’m not a local or I’d be in everyday! I would 100% recommend.

This place is one of a kind. The owner is generous with her time and knowledge of chocolate, and with that knowledge comes the best sipping chocolate in the city. She is able to tailor the sipping chocolate to your desired consistency, I personally love the dense consistency shes able to make for me. Ive been to other cafes claiming to serve sipping chocolate, but the consistency is thinner, and the flavor weaker. She is a true chocolate connoisseur, serving the best our world has to offer from Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, and even Vietnam! Truffles are unique and excellent... Lunch here is also great, with a friendly and bright atmosphere. Not to be missed if you like chocolate.

Forget about Godiva crap! This local shop produce and sells best and tastiest truffles you can get in Seattle, WA .They are bite sized and comes in many different flavors. Inexpensive but tasty and made with fist grade cocoa. Love drop by for a cup of hot European chocolate (fantastic!) and get to free truffle with every drink purchase! Great place to satisfy chocolate cravings.

I love the environment here. I first started coming in for tutoring sessions, and now it is one of my favorite places. My student loves the drinks here, and I think it makes studying on a Friday more enjoyable. We both now order the usual and Janet always knows what we want.

Cute place with great service and excellent drinking chocolate. You will never be satisfied with hot chocolate again after youve had true drinking chocolate. Also has some nice light food options, such as biscuit sandwiches with excellent biscuits.We were a group of 5, and were trying to figure out who would order which of the 4 drinking chocolate options. Seeing this, the owner offered us a tasting where each of us would get a small cup of each of the 4 options. Once wed started, she came up with a couple of extra varieties she didnt usually offer as drinking chocolates.Our favorite varietals were Ecuador and Dominican Republic, both of which were more complex and nuanced than the others. But all were very tasty.

The coffee there is really good. I like the Americano the best. The also have re-purposed furniture that is eclectic and retro looking decor. The person who runs the place seems to know a lot about chocolate and coffee. I will be back for sure.

Not easy to find but so worth it. Friendly staff make the BEST Drinking Chocolate ever, and just the way you like it. Four bucks a cup, and you get to pick the country where your chocolate is from. This is not the tepid mud water from that huge Seattle Corp. They have the real deal fair trade and all. Hungry, why yes we were, oh man the homemade biscuit sandwiches inexpensive and very tasty. Tell em MixMasterD sent you. Oh one last thing they have a fine collection of chocolate in bar form to take home. With the money you save get several.
