Seattle Chocolate

This is for their Factory Tour. Went on a Saturday and had a great experience. There is no production on Friday or Saturday so you will not see people working but we knew that when booking. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. You start in their classroom then take the factory tour and then back to classroom for tasting. We learned about the cacao plant and tasted truffles, solid bars and truffle bars and used our taste buds to see what flavor notes we could pick out. I think our tour guides name was Dani. They were fun, knowledgeable and passionate about chocolate. You get a 10% discount on purchases after the tour and if you go on certain Saturday's they have their "seconds" sale and you can get a pound of chocolate for $10. The whole facility from bathrooms to factory floor was clean and bright. Would highly recommend!

My husband surprised me for my birthday by taking me here for three Seattle Chocolate tour and it was so much fun! We drove and they have a parking lot. We did the 10am on a Tuesday tour and it ended up being just us which was pretty cool! Our tour host was Caleb and he was soo nice! We really enjoyed our tour with him! The tour: Starts with some intro videos and a little chocolate tasting to start - some heated chocolate in a cup and some cocoa nibs. Both very tasty. Then we started the factory tour - which doesn't allow phones, glass, gum or personal belongings - they have lockers you can put everything in and they give hairnets. It was really cool to see the behind the scenes of everything being made. The final part was the tasting and also my favorite part! We got to try a nice variety of their different chocolates and all had a really diverse flavor! So much fun trying to guess the flavors and tasting notes. Afterwards, we went shopping in their store which has a ton of different chocolates! We bought some gifts for family and of course some chocolate for ourselves. Their store is super cute! Staff is friendly and welcoming and it's such a fun experience just to come and check out all of the different chocolate flavors available! 10/10 would come for their other events and to get more chocolate! I heard they do some fun Halloween things. They also have chocolate sales on the imperfect bars that aren't wrapped down distribution once in awhile!

My friend brought me along for a tour at the Seattle Chocolate Factory which took about 1 hour, and it was such an enjoyable experience. Our tour guide was Dani, and she was amazing! She had such a positive attitude and really made the tour fun to follow along. On the tour, you will learn about how the company started, how chocolate is made, and where they get their coacoa beans from. I learned so many things! We were then allowed to tour the factory where all of their chocolate is made. It was such a cool thing to see. I feel like people of all ages would enjoy. My favorite part was the blind tasting test without a question. I definitely felt like I grew a bigger appreciation to eating premium chocolate. I highly recommend this visiting! If you take the tour, you get 10% their products to purchase in the store.

I can't believe I have not written a review on my favorites chocolates. I've been here 5 times in the past 2 years when we are in Seattle area, I even order on-line. This is my favorite chocolate truffle, I'm definitely hooked on the mexican chocolate, bubbly and champagne (all dark chocolates). But during the holidays they had candy cane and this blew me away, was trying to order more online but it was sold out. Hope they bring it back next christmas 2024. Their truffles will last up to a year, so obviously I stock up since we do not live in state. If you ever there on a saturday take advantage of their special $10.00 bags of chocolate that did not make the cut, I've caught this special once and it was amazing, the price and amount you get for $10 is such a deal. The store is really cute and typical PNW style, colorful and bright. The cute pig at the front is a cutie to take a picture with and not to mention they also have a selfie wall. They do chocolate factory tours but I've never been on one, maybe when we not stopping by and rushing I'll plan to squeeze in a tour one day. The only downside to this factory location is the vibe walking in is not so welcoming, sometimes we get a hello and sometimes not, sometimes we get asked if we need help and sometimes not, sometimes we don't get help but the person after us does? Its a strange customer service vibe in this place. On my last trip we had a nice friendly person and she offered samples, asked if we needed help, etc. When I shop there I always walk out purchasing alot, and no one every told me nor is there signage that says if you purchase over $50 they can box your chocolate in there special gift box? Thats strange? The chocolates are my fav and I'll deal with the unusual customer service they provide?

I was expecting just a regular tour of a factory, but I got so much more! Before you go inside the warehouse/factory, you first go into a tasting room where you learn about chocolate, its history, and how to taste chocolates using your senses. From there, you go into the factory and see how the chocolate is made, wrapped, and packaged for shipping. With exception of the actual chocolate, everything here is done by hand, especially the wrapping, so I gained so much more respect for the workers. It can't be an easy job, but they make it look so easy.I only wish the tour was longer. I remember going to the Hershey's factory and seeing every piece being created. For this tour, you only get a small glimpse into the chocolate making processAfter the tour is over, you are welcome to buy chocolate from the gift shop.If you're a chocoholic, then this is the place for you!

I am a second timer on the Seattle Chocolates tour. It was so much fun and we had a ball! I would recommend this tour to everyone! For those who have never been, it is so worth it. For those who have been before, it is a BALL going back. There is so much to see, learn and taste. I feel like this tour is solid in its flow of tasting, education, and walking around. I could do this every weekend and have just as great of a time! We felt so pampered on the tour and learned a lot. Without giving too many of the details of the tour away, it is fun to learn about chocolate while trying out a bunch of samples and different flavors. It is also so cool to be able to actually see the factory for ourselves and look at the machines they use. This tour is the perfect length of time-it was an hour of chocolate knowledge and samples. We ended the tour with some shopping in their bright gift shop. This is so worth it and I know I will be back! Tips: be sure to report any allergies you might have when they ask, and pack a cooler in your car for your chocolate haul. Come with questions and an appetite.

This place is SWEET! (get it? ha ha)We came here for the tour and also to buy some chocolate. I love supporting local businesses and found out this one is actually woman-owned so that makes it even better!We really enjoyed the hour long tour and all it taught us. We came on a Saturday which is when they have their factory seconds sale weekly. $10 bags of a lot of different chocolates. This place has great chocolates and a real Seattle connection. They have partnered with Pearl Jam, Marshawn Lynch (Beast Mode) and Alaska Airlines for specialty chocolate offerings. We ended up getting about $85 worth of chocolates with the build your own, the factory seconds, Christmas specials, and some other exotic flavors. They really have a lot of flavors to choose from and have mostly truffles in both bars and singles and have their sub brand called JCOCO, which is more specialty flavors, etc. A great Insta-ready lobby with great photo ops. Good staff as well. Great job Seattle Chocolate! Keep it going.

Nope, didn't go to Seattle recently. I did pay (overpaid!) for a Seattle Chocolate Company Pike Place Espresso Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar (with decaf espresso) at a candy place in Studio City over the weekend. Actually held out for two days before peeling open the bar and trying it. WOW! That is quite the delicious chocolate treat! Very smooth and elegant, not too sweet, and that smart espresso taste that carries through the melting sensation.Lots of interesting info on the back of the label. The company is Woman Owned. I see from their website that they are extremely creative in coming up with new flavors, including seasonally. Will have to check out which other vegan choices they offer.Non-GMO-Certified, Rainforest Alliance member, vegan, gluten free, and only 180 calories for half the 2.5 ounce bar. I'm sold!

Came in to get some chocolates to mail out to family and friends. Got overwhelmed by the options, then found out they do chocolate tasting/tour! They were able to squeeze us in. Friendly staff and very helpful.It's very nice there. Organized and very clean. Almost exactly like what you'd expect basically.Sad I found this place right before our move out of state, but happy to be able to order online.Highly recommend to book their tour/tasting. You'll learn a fun fact or two and taste a handful of delicious chocolates to help you choose your picks!

We landed in Seattle and came straight here! Such a great start to our trip. I was so impressed with the factory, the taste of the chocolate, and the operations behind everything. Woman CEO, amazing tour, yummy chocolate! I love it. Caleb was such a great tour guide, engaging, funny and passionate! I loved how they gave samples while you waited until the tour start time. Best nice and clean place.The only thing I didn't like was that you could not take pictures in the factory but I understand for safety and cleanliness reasons. Such a wonderful experience and tour. Please check out Seattle chocolate and take the tour. 10/10 service, clean place, chocolate and tour!
