Editorial Review for Dilettante Chocolates – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Owner Dana Taylor Davenport is a third-generation chocolatier whose ancestors were master confectioners to Emperor Franz Josef in Vienna and Czar Nicholas II in St. Petersburg. Fortunately, the family immigrated to Seattle. Some of the princely offerings include cremes, caramels, toffees, coated nutmeats and sculptured chocolates. For bakers, the truffle topping sauces make great cake frostings, or try the premium bittersweet, semi-sweet, milk and white chocolate couverture that's sold by the pound.

User Reviews for Dilettante Chocolates

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

How did Dilettante only rate #6 on the top ten? For that matter, how did Coldstone rate number one? Dilettante's chocolate mousse will bring you to your knees: it's unbelievably rich yet light and fluffy. Truly a premier chocholatier!

Pros: best desserts, clean, interesting neighborhood

Cons: dimly lit, interesting neighborhood

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

The manager is a meanie. It was the middle of winter. It was freezing cold. They sat us next to the door. Each time someone came in or held the door open for some reason, a chilly gust blew in and froze us. I waited till another table was available and asked the manager if he could move us, his response was: "No you have already been seated". Needless to say I got a cold after that, and am never going back!!! Thanks a lot for your crappy service. I think I'll take my business and everyone I know's business elsewhere!

Chocolates good enough to serve to Russian and Viennese royalty, for the common folk.  See the full editorial review.
