I love the cafe atmosphere and their drinking chocolate is to die for!! I swear I've walked out of there with a happy chocolate buzz. I visit at least once a month and spend wayyy too much money on chocoate - buts its sooooo good!

i found this place not long after they opened! it was all because they had the portland tribune available at the downtown transit center near the hazel dell bus stop. inside was an article worth reading even now! i had to go there with a friend, and have been back several trips now. it is an excellent place to sit and sip warm deep chocolate with a friend or two. they have a style acceptable to kids, but if you can handle it, try the 4 oz. of the hot pepper spiced hot chocolate with very little milk or sugar! if you don't like chocolate, don't come. ps. it can't get any better than this, so like the others i had to give the guys a high 5 stars!

Wow! All I can say is I have never experienced chocolate until now. This place is fantastic! The wide variety of chocolate, in all forms, is top notch. This place carries simply the best quality chocolate from around the world. Kick your candy bars to the curb and indulge in REAL chocolate. I have never really given much thought to chocolate and was a little overwhelmed with the selection at first, but the employees were friendly and very knowledgeable. I'm glad I asked the employee for help. My boyfriend and I were able to taste samples of many of the chocolate bars and it was a really fantastic experience to taste the variety of flavors. Think wine tasting but with chocolate. But the real winner was the drinking chocolate - it was so rich the small size was enough for the two of us! Also, the confections in the case are to die for! yum yum yum!
