Chocolate is Cool!!

by CaraWilcox

Very down-to-earth, fun tour. Enthusiatic tour guide took a small group of us step-by-step through the chocolate making process. You see every machine, find out how it works, and have the different tastes of chocolate explained. It also gives a good perspective on the differences between their process and practices and why fair trade and organic is important. There were so many chocolate and confections samples I felt a little sick afterwards. The chocolate they make is very special and different-- I especially liked the chai bar, and if you like strange flavors you can't do better than coconut-curry. Remember to call first (especially on weekends) to schedule the tour.

• Pros: For $6 this is a steal, if only for the amount of chocolate they give you!
• Cons: They don't serve milk...

Amazing chocolate experience!

by annabellita

After attending a fabulous Chocolatada (an evening of sweet and savory food and drink by a fabulous chef!) I can't stop talking about Theo to everyone I meet. With a dedicated focus on organic and fair trade cocoa, our tour guide Pamela had a passion, play and contagious excitement for everything cocoa. Ive never had a tour be so much fun, so informative and so delicious all at once!

Seattle has been known for coffee and grunge for years. I think Theo is at the head of the next big thing!
