This bean-to-bar chocolatier has quietly become a favorite for chocolate lovers seeking both quality and education. The standout feature is their chocolate tasting experience, which goes beyond simple sampling to teach visitors about sustainable sourcing, the chocolate-making process, and how to truly appreciate different flavor profiles. Staff members like Melissa, Kayla, and Dave earn consistent praise for being knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing their craft. The commitment to ethical practices and supporting native farmers resonates strongly with visitors. The chocolate itself gets rave reviews, particularly unique flavors like Peach IPA, raspberry rose hot chocolate, and sea salt caramel. Dark chocolate enthusiasts will find plenty to love here, though those who prefer sweeter, milk chocolate varieties might want to sample first. Beyond the tastings, it's simply a lovely spot to visit, with a peaceful atmosphere and friendly service that makes people linger. The shop works well for special occasions, casual visits, or even groups with varying needs. While you can drop in just to buy chocolate, the tasting experience adds real value and appreciation for what you're enjoying.
