Editorial Review for Chocolate Box – by Joann Natalia Aquino
In Short
With its inviting caramel and dark brown color palette, this sophisticated chocolate boutique and bistro tempts with everything decadent and sweet. Seattle retailer Michel Brotman plays Willy Wonka by featuring exquisitely crafted products from local chocolate purveyors such as Theo Chocolate, Oh! Chocolate, Fiori Chocolatiers and Chocolat Vitale, as well as from renowned Parisian chocolatier Michel Cluizel. Scrumptious offerings include handmade truffles, bonbons, espresso and cocoa drinks, fresh pastries and mouthwatering gelato from locally owned Gelatiamo.
Hits: Outdoor seating and counter seats by the window provide some of the best spots in the city for people-watching.
Misses: More of a candy land for grown-ups, families with kids must be careful with the displays and fixtures.

Chocolate Box - Recommended They offer a wide array of chocolates, cakes, pastries, and gelato. In fact you'd be hard pressed to find this type of selection in the city at any other location. Certainly places such as Whole Foods have a nice selection but Chocolate Box does a nice job of pulling together a nice assortment. The only ding I'll give them is they need to have a better understanding of chocolate and each of the products they carry. There are four main chocolate companies showcased at Chocolate Box. They are (in order from when you walk in): Fiori Chocolates - Highly recommended. Their selection of Fiori (an elusive chocolate company) is the best in Seattle. Elusive because they are so selective as to where their chocolates are offered. Their truffles are in a word, superb. Thin shelled, dark chocolate with an ultra creamy ganache. Really exotic ingredients using lots of organic items. Their bars have a simply amazing finish to them. They have an almost buttery melting quality to them. Very unique. Theo Chocolates - Highly recommended This is also a great one-stop shop for all things Theo. Ranging from their truffles to their bars. Also lots of really unique flavors for their truffles with their fennel and basil being two outstanding ones. Their bars are good but present a slight grittiness to them. Not as smooth as Fiori but still a strong contender. Oh! Chocolate - Somewhat recommended For the chocolate gourmand, Oh's is a bit on the sugary sweet side. They're not bad though, offering a wide array of "the standards" in truffles. Nothing to exotic from Oh, but relatively plain in that respect but a very comfortable option. Chocolat Vitale - Recommended Vitale offers a line of drinking chocolates that are rich in flavor and body. A really great option for the liquid chocolate crowd. Several flavors are available and all are really solid. They also features teas that are great all year round pleasers. Great high quality
Pros: One stop shop - whatever your hear desires is probably there
Cons: Parking can be difficult. Good to park at the market and walk over
