There's a reason Obama and Michelle love this place. The chocolate is delightful. Got the milk chocolate caramel. I got a small box to take back. They gave us a free sample too. This location is a stone's throw from pike market. read more

This chocolate shop is not cheap but you can tell it is made with quality ingredients and the service is top notch. We enjoyed the dark chocolate and the various truffles. I would consider this a special occasion place and would come back again. read more

Nice assortment of chocolates! High end looking truffles and gift sets and friendly customer service. Their dark hot chocolate tastes great! It's about a 65% dark from Argentina I believe? Not too bitter. One of the best hot cocoas right now! read more

Fran's Chocolates - Hot chocolate - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very upscale store in the Four Seasons Hotel lobby. It's like looking at a jewelry display case that is full of chocolates. The customer service is great here: they are patient, which is a requirement since there are a lot of different chocolates to choose from. I would definitely recommend the salted caramels: not too salty, but a great contrast with the chocolate. It is definitely pricey (about $2 for each small piece), but worth a splurge once in a while. read more

Fran's Chocolates - Truffles, eggs and salted caramels, oh my. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Chocolate has the second biggest part of my heart. It's the best. Frans is top tier for quality and taste of milk chocolate. This location is always a bit odd. When I stop in, about 1/3 of the time the sales staff offer me a piece of chocolate (knowing I am going to purchase as I already have items in my hand), another 1/3 of the time I see them offering it to others but not to me and the last 1/3, I don't see them offering it to anyone. It's hit or miss on the samples which I find every odd as every time I have a sample - I end up buying more of that to take home. The grey salt caramel is amazing - it is a Frans made caramel that you cannot get anywhere else. It literally melts in your mouth. I always pick up a box or few lone items of the seasonal festivity that is currently going on. In my last trip, I picked up a box of half milk, half dark Santa's. The milk were delicious, the dark were ok. I am not a huge fan of Frans Dark Chocolate, but their Milk Chocolate is one of the very best. For Dark Chocolate - I stick to See's. If you are in the Seattle area, I definitely recommend popping into Frans to see what their seasonal offerings are - they are always super cute and a hit with the family and kiddos! read more

I came here to buy some chocolates for a friend who was hosting us in Seattle. I tried a sample of their salted caramels. I died. You're talking to a ghost. The caramels were delicious. I don't even like salted caramels that much. The caramel was just super rich and creamy and there was a perfect amount of salt on the chocolate. My friend loved them. I went back the next day and bought another box. I didn't find the dark chocolate to be particularly delicious. It's the salted caramels that stole my heart. read more

During our most recent visit to Seattle, we had to stop by Fran's Chocolates. As the official chocolatier of the White House (we had to visit, since this is Barack Obama's favorite chocolate store), Fran's Chocolates is known for their salted caramels. The store closes relatively early, but we made it in at 7:20 p.m. (right before they closed at 7:30 p.m.). The parking situation here is a beast, as the store doesn't have its own parking. It's adjacent (or slightly within) The Four Seasons Hotel. Since we had a wheelchair, our driver just stayed in the loading zone for a few minutes (there's a three-minute loading zone) since we knew we couldn't be in the store for very long. If we went there earlier, I would have parked in the parking lot by Target, picked up water from Target and then walked to Fran's Chocolates; it's an easy walk across the street. We were immediately greeted with free samples of their chilled drinking chocolate, which was different ... I'm used to drinking chocolate being hot, so this chilled option was different to experience. It was still really rich, like drinking a chocolate bar that had been melted, then stuck in the fridge. It's super super sweet, meant to be enjoyed in small doses. Neat! The sheer amount of chocolates available can be overwhelming, but the helpful staff walked us through everything. The displays were impeccable in presentation and clearly labeled, too. The hardest part was actually deciding what to order. Each piece is $2.25, so you can't get too carried away. Since we had to rush (the store was closing in a few minutes), we ended up getting three of the signature caramels and one chocolate bar. But, it was really neat to be in the actual Fran's store, and I marveled at all their chocolate assortments. If you get a box of these, you know you are loved, since these chocolates cost a pretty penny. Here's what we got, as well as what I want to try next time: Gray Salt Caramels: Of course, we couldn't walk out of Fran's without those famous salted caramels, so we got three - one for each of us. I had these caramels from the Starbucks Roastery (I think they're the exclusive Starbucks location that carries these), so I had tasted them before and know how addictively good they are. What a treat it was to get our hands on these again! These salt caramels are slightly different from the smoked salt version because these have a soft, buttery caramel center dipped in dark chocolate and finished with gray salt (instead of smoked sea salt). The smoked salt caramels are also dipped in milk chocolate (not dark chocolate). I love dark chocolate, and this sported the perfect blend of sweet meets salty. I enjoy dark chocolate, and it provided the ideal hint of sweetness to balance the slightly salty topping. My favorite part is the luscious caramel that comes oozing out once you pop the caramel into your mouth and start to chew. If you're getting one treat from this store, be sure to try the grey salt and smoked salt caramel. Macadamia Gold Bar: These bars are sold in boxes, but the different bars are also available individually. This one features plentiful macadamia nuts, buttery caramel and dark chocolate. We got this for a family member who really likes macadamia nuts. The mac nuts are ample within the bar and add a great crunch to the otherwise silky smooth texture from the caramel and velvety dark chocolate. Almond Goldbites: If I were ordering a chocolate bar for myself, this is one I would choose. This bar features toasted almonds that add a subtle crunch to a mixture of buttery caramel and rich dark chocolate. I love almonds more than mac nuts, so I would want to get this bar. I'm sure it tastes similar to the Macadamia Gold, in that there's bits of crunch interspersed within the bar, but with slivers of almonds instead of mac nuts. Yum! Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Diamonds: I was eyeing these truffles because they featured one of my favorite flavors - hazelnut. These diamond-shaped truffles cannot be missed because of their distinct shape. They feature finely ground Oregon hazelnuts that are blended with rich, creamy milk chocolate. I like Nutella and anything that has to do with hazelnuts, so this presents the perfect blend. I also do like the richer taste of milk chocolate, so I'm sure these diamonds give "diamond in the rough" a new meaning. Chocolate Imperials: This was a dark chocolate truffle that looked positively delightful. It featured a soft, dark chocolate center with a dark chocolate encasing and a topping of crushed cacao nuts. I love it when desserts have crushed cacao on top for that earthy, nutty flavor. I also would love that dark chocolate center that reminds me of a molten chocolate cake. read more

Fran's Chocolates - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fran's is awesome. I just moved to Seattle so I had to try one of the popular chocolate shops in town. I also saw that their almond gold bar won an award in the new chocolate category at Sofi. Almond gold bars are amazing. Definitely a must try. I also liked the other gold bars they have. I'm not a huge fan of the Dark Chocolate sauce, but that's because I've tried something else previously and I wanted to compare it to Fran's. Excellent service in this location. It's located in the Four Seasons hotel. The prices are slightly above the regular compared to when I get my chocolates at QFC (local grocery store). read more

The best dark chocolate w/gray salt that I've ever tasted. Lovely with a great old vintage port. Sadly the only way Fran's ships internet orders is with Fed Ex which is a killer. Fed Ex in our area is beyond horrible. They try to jam packages in USPS boxes, throw them in the yard if they don't fit, put them under cars instead of the porch, or deliver them to the wrong address. read more

This is a fancy, local chocolatier down near the Seattle Art Museum and the Pike Place Market. Honestly, at $2.50 per piece, I haven't tried many things here. Everything is artfully spaced and beautifully presented, but it is also a bit sparse. It gives the effect of "you probably can't afford anything here." That being said, everyone who works here is very friendly the past few times I've been in. They also greet you at the door with a sample, sometimes it piece of plain chocolate, other times one of their caramels. If it's the latter, then you're in for a real treat because to me, that is the reason to come here. The milk chocolate caramels come with smoked salt on top, and the dark chocolate come with gray salt. Both are incredibly delicious. I love how the caramel just oozes out. You can tell everything is handmade, and made with the highest quality ingredients and the utmost care. And you will definitely pay for it. I also recommend their caramel sauce and their raspberry sauce (seedless!) Although you can pick those up at QFC or Safeway for a few dollars less. During the holidays they have stunning chocolate displays, and elaborate items for purchase. For example, when I came in around Easter, they had the most gorgeous eggs, dusted with gold luster and filled with little chocolate ducklings. I believe they were around $60 a piece. I have a friend who also swears by their chocolate dipped figs, which are seasonal. read more

Fran's Chocolates - Selection of chocolate boxes on display - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We found this place on a "must visit" list while in Seattle. It was conventionally located in downtown Seattle. It is attached to a hotel. It is definitely an upscale chocolate store (I think there's a fancy word for that, but I can't think of it). The service was splendid and the caramel was sinful. You get a caramel sample when you walk in and omg.. how could I not get a couple pieces? The prices are a bit high so we only got two pieces each. One for now and one for later ;) I had a great experience but I'm unsure if it's somewhere I would need to return too. I wanted everything, but I just could rationalize the price. It is delicious and if chocolate is a thing of yours, check it out :) read more

I love love looooove chocolate. Chocolates or sushi is all I need to appease my anger or bitterness. That being said, I was dying to check this boutique out on our way to Pike's Place. I make it a point to visit at least 2 chocolatiers when I travel (Boule, Richart, Le Maison, Vosges, Moonstruck, Maribelle's). The store is impeccably clean, and the displays are gorgeous (see photos). The boxes are tied with colored ribbons and on floating dark wood shelves. The truffles themselves are minimalistically perched on plexiglass slabs. As said in previous yelp reviews, looks can be deceiving. The dark chocolate caramel w/ gray salt was good, but the flavors didn't quite mesh together for me. I tried the macadamia caramel truffle, and it was tasty but not mind blowing. A box of 5 truffles costs $9, and a box of 2 about $3.50. Price wise, it's not as bad as other more expensive boutiques, which is a plus. The staff was very friendly and gave us samples of chocolate and iced chocolate. I like that this boutique is local and only Washington based. I'd like to come back to try some more, but for now, it remains a 3-star. The truffles are not out of this world. read more

Their salted caramel chocolates are divine!!! I bought a box to bring home this past winter holiday for the family, and they were an instant hit even with the young ones with finnicky tastebuds.

Oh. My. Goodness. The sea salt caramels are to die for. They have a coffee bar in the shop and my friend and I got some of their specialty drinks. My friends Dark Hot Chocolate Mocha thing was amazing. My caramel latte would have been great, but the caramel all settled at the bottom and I only got to enjoy it during the last 3 sips. Try the Dark Chocolate Mocha thing!! read more

The original home of the salted chocolate caramel. Either in milk or dark chocolate, you can't go wrong. They will even give you some samples, if you appear to be unsure. (Hint: Always hold out for the samples, even if you are a local.) Highly recommended. I even have started to mail order these when I am not near Seattle--it is THAT good. read more

Considering this chocolate shop is one of Obama's favorite, I was quite curious to see why the grey smoked caramel was something to rave about. I enjoyed the milk chocolate caramel with the macademia nut, but I wasn't a fan of the oolong tea truffle (too bitter). The sales associate was quite nice, and did offer some samples. I was fascinated by their figs dipped into chocolate, and wished I'd tried it! +milk chocolate caramel with macademia nut read more

Ohhhhh! Fran's Chocolates in Seattle, WA, has an online website at franschocolates.com. Her gray salt dark chocolate caramels are delicious with the perfect blend and balance of salt to dark chocolate sweet. And her dark chocolate organic ginger is definitely a "must buy" for anyone who loves ginger like I do! Not to be left out are Fran's dark truffles, which are an assortment of flavors all enrobed in 67% dark chocolate. Onolicious! Woo hoo! Can't wait to try Fran's chocolate filled organic figs! Yum! read more

I'm addicted. I'll own it. I love Fran's Chocolates. I came by here after reading all the glowing yelp reviews. I figured I better find out what all the hype was about. I definitely wasn't disappointed. I got a box of the gray and smoked salt caramels (20 pieces, $30) and had eaten about 1/2 the box before I left Seattle the weekend I visited. I almost considered going back to purchase more and send to friends and family. Fran's will ship chocolates for you! The people working here are nice and friendly. Some people were sitting at tables enjoying a beverage, but I was on a mission to get some amazing chocolates so I didn't really stick around once I found what I was looking for. The shop is cute, but small. Gift boxes are displayed on one wall and other chocolates can be found in a larger case by the cashier. read more

The chocolate is pricey, but the quality is there to justify it! I got a free piece of chocolate when I walked in the store, which was a great welcome. I came here to buy a small gift box, and there was an okay selection displayed along the walls. Mu budget was $20 for the gift, and I settled for a box of nine assorted truffles for $18. There was also a $20 gift box for salted caramels, if that is more your taste. All the gift boxes were wrapped beautifully in an elegant box and nice ribbon, ready to purchase. It makes for a nice presentation! There were also single truffles and caramels in a display case that you could purchase. I bought a piece of gray sea salt caramel ($2), and it was delicious. It was just the right balance of salty and sweet, and the caramel wasn't super sticky either. I also bought a piece of the coconut gold bar ($4.50) based on all the rave reviews. I'm not normally a fan of the flavors of Almond Joy, but my curiosity got the better of me. Their coconut gold bar is delicious! It's at least 3x better than an Almond Joy. If you like coconut and almonds, give this one a try. I was expecting some flaked coconut in the filling, but was is a smooth(ish) consistency. I'd definitely come back for more sea salt caramels. It's a weak spot of mine, and this place satisfies that craving! read more

I buy chocolates at Fran's every holiday season for co-workers. This will be my last year. Why do the salespeople offer chocolate samples to some people but not others? I walked in and got no sample offer. Some lady and her three kids walked in with their dog and all got samples. Then they got kicked out for having their dog with them. I actually buy chocolates at this store, year after year. I watched who got samples and who didn't, and the clueless salesperson ran up to some people to offer them samples but totally ignored other people. How is this okay? Honestly, I never even indulge in the samples but why is it so random? Total turn off. I'll be spending my money somewhere else next year. read more

First time customer. Heard about on Ride the Ducks tour. Bought a box of 40 piece , Salted Carmels. $60.00 Not sure I would pay that much ever again. Good chocolate , but I'm a frugal Canada in and we have Purdy's . Great service in store. President Obama loves these chocolates . read more

Fran's Chocolates is one of my favorite places to visit in downtown Seattle. It's a great place to sit for an Americano or have tea after a long and tiring stroll through Pike Place Market. We ordered a pot of tea and it is served with a delicious chocolate heart! When you first walk in, you are greeted with a divine sample of salted caramel chocolate! Truly one of Seattle's lucky finds. There are currently four Fran's locations - University Village, Georgetown, and Downtown. read more

I love Fran's. I stopped by this location today because I was walking by and that was enough reason to go in. As always, you get a sample of their chocolates just for stopping by and today it was the dark chocolate salted caramels. Definitely one of my favorites, if not the favorite. You can get boxes of 4, 8, and 12. I ended up getting a box of 12 with a mix of salted caramels, hazelnut truffles, dark chocolate truffles, etc. I had a hard time trying to decide which ones I wanted, but the guy helping me was definitely great with listening to what I preferred and helping me choose. Dark chocolate vs milk, what paired well with red wine vs dessert wine, etc. I also got a bar of the almond gold bar and a dark chocolate crunch bar. Great service here, gorgeous presentation (you get to pick what colored ribbon, FANTASTIC chocolates and as my friend put it, the experience is like "shopping at Tiffany's, but the chocolate version." Love the chocolate almost 3D portrait they had hanging up too. TRY the HAZELNUT (the diamond shaped one, milk chocolate), the dark chocolate salted caramels, the COFFEE, the DARK CHOCOLATE. Nvm, TRY THEM ALL! read more

We stopped in during our walking tour of Seattle because the Seattle resident told us we had to see this awesome picture on the wall. It really was an awesome picture: close-up it looks like individual pieces of chocolate and the further back you go, it turns into a picture of a little girl! Then of course, she tells us we need to try the salted chocolates.. I told her there was absolutely no way. I am entirely way too full to eat anything. But okayyyy, fine... you've twisted my arm, I will get one. I ask for one salted dark chocolate piece, and the dude goes.. really? just one? I reply yes, please.. this is me forcing another goodie into my already expanded tummy. He laughed and asked my 2 companions what kind of chocolate they like (dark, milk), and they both replied 'dark' and he pulls out 3 pieces and only charges me for one. How awesome. read more

Fran's Chocolates - the creepy/cool picture! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Probably the best location for a chocolate shop -- ground floor of the Downtown Seattle Four Seasons Hotel, overlooking the Puget Sound and a short walk to Pike Place Market. On a windy day in the Evergreen State, the best thing to warm you up is a cup of coffee and chocolate. Enter Fran's! Immediately a 4-star because they were not stingy with the samples! There were 5 of us, and we all got one (ok, maybe I got two). I mean, these chocolate pieces are not cheap. In fact, they are "national treasures" as the friendly shopkeeper noted. Apparently, President Obama is hooked on the smoked salt caramels (in milk chocolate), while the First Lady loves the gray salt caramels (in dark chocolate). I'm going to side with the First Lady on this one! Here's the rest of my chocolate notes on the other bonbons I tried: Dark almond trios - fresh roasted organic Cali almonds in bitter dark chocolate. - simple, classic and good -- I like this piece. Dark tas de noix - mmm... the soft butter caramel works oh so well with the roasted organic macadamia nut, and the best part is that it's dipped in dark chocolate. - prob my fave piece in the collection as it highlights their house specialty (chewy, gooey caramel) and my favorite nut Hazelnut crunch - toasted caramelized hazelnut bits with milk choco ganache and shell - slightly sweet, but I like the crunch Oolong tea - floral oolong tea blended in creamy dark chocolate, then dipped in dark chocolate - yes! - dark choco is good. Really creamy. Refreshing taste. Like! Caramels: Gray Salt in dark choco vs Smoked Salt in milk choco - soft and chewy butter caramel dipped in chocolate sprinkled with sea salt - it's a matter of taste, and mine definitely prefers the dark chocolate version - mmmm. Very good burnt caramel. I love their caramels! Berry notes mixed with roasted flavor, with the sea salt and slightly bitter dark choco as the perfect complement. - Definitely one of the best of the caramels I've tried. In general, the chocolate pieces are good, but its the caramels that's worth the visit. Apparently, Fran's is sold at Whole Foods Markets so I don't need to fly to Seattle for their caramels! They also have mendiants and bars -- must try that next time I'm in town... read more

Fran's Chocolates - A view of the interior from the Four Seasons Hotel - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fran is a pioneer in the women in culinary world movement. She was the first female to graduate from the California culinary institution in the 60s. Not the first accepted but the first to graduate! She is the first American chocolatier to have a relationship with valrona chocolates. That's is a big deal because valrona chocolates doesn't traditionally partner with Americans, until recently. It wasn't til recently that the goody scene in the America's took off. Anyways, go here because it is amazing and you won't regret it. Try all the caramels. read more

Their chocolate covered salted caramels are delightful. Prior to my visit to Fran's I really wasn't a fan of chocolate caramel in general. It's usually too sweet or too chewy BUT Fran's... my oh my. It's perfect. I could probably have one everyday if I could afford to. Yes they are a bit pricey but so worth it! So upon visiting, make sure you grab one of their free samples upon entering the store. read more

The chocolate was very good. Customer service... not so good. I waited in line and it seemed as though the salesperson behind the chocolate counter was deliberately ignoring me. While waiting for someone to help me, two other women came up to the counter and they were immediately helped. At that point, I almost left the store. Finally another man came up and helped me. He was very friendly and nice. This has been my first trip to Seattle. Before this incident occurred, I raved to all my friends how nice the people are in Seattle. During my short stay here, people in Seattle have been amazingly nice to me. I really felt the first sales person was snobbish to me... why? No clue. It's only chocolate after all. Very good chocolate, but just chocolate... not a cure for cancer : ). I wanted to get some chocolate boxes as gifts for some of my friends , but I think I'll just find another chocolate place to give my money to. read more

I will give it 6 stars if I can. Who knew dark chocolate with sea salt would be oh sooo good! I was disgusted just by the thought of it but boy was I wrong. It's to die for! This place is a MUST visit for me and DH whenever we visit Seattle. They are nicely located in front of 4 Seasons Hotel. Inside is beautifully decorated with an array of decadent chocolates. Their hot cocoa is sinful. My hubby makes sure he order some from the mail during special occasions. I am hanging on to my box that he gave me last March and really rationing it until we go back to Seattle which luckily happens to be next month. I'm excited! read more

The man helping me the other day was so helpful. Very patient and answered all my questions. He wrapped everything up in a cute little box.

The best caramels I've ever eaten. President Barack Obama knows his chocolates, apparently, cause this place is so dang good!! I taste tested a Gray Salt Caramel and Smoked Salt Caramel, and felt that the Gray Salt offered a better balance between sweet, salty, and bitter. LADIES AND GENTS: if someone you know is having a special occasion coming up, skip the Russel Stover and Lindt. Don't even go for the Godiva (which is usually a good compromise between quality and price). Treat them like the decent human beings they are, and give them Fran's. :) read more

I know this place is popular and it's Michelle Obama's favorite chocolate place. I am a chocolate lover and I come from a family of bakers and chocolate makers. I know good chocolate when I have it. I wasn't a fan of Fran's chocolate at all. They were okay, but I didn't find them mind blowing or exceptional in anyway. I think it is only popular because of the famous person who vouched for them. I am sorry! They are also quite expensive... read more

Located next to the Four Seasons hotel down by the waterfront sits Fran's. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted and offered a sample of their rich caramel sauce. Smooth, rich, and evenly balanced with the taste of fresh caramelized sugar and cream- we were instantly sold. My boyfriend is from Venezuela, and once we learned of Fran's drinking chocolate made with 95% dark Venezuelan chocolate- we knew we had to order a cup of this liquid gold. The 3oz size is more than enough as its very decadent. It comes with a small square of their dark chocolate but we ordered a 9 pc assortment to go with our drinking chocolate. Quite pricy, as you'd imagine. $22.95 for 9 small but heavenly pieces. Our favorites were the hazelnut crunch and gray salt caramel! read more

YUM! YUM! YUM! Very chic and uber fancy, but super friendly! I wondered into Fran's with a need to fill a chocolate fix...I was not disappointed :) Upon entering I was greeted and offered a sample of their Sea Salt Caramel...this was a sign and a good one that at! I LOVE caramel and LOVE LOVE the combo of salt and caramel :) After that taste I knew I needed to take a few home. I opted for a 6PC pack and chose two more of the Dark Gray Salt Caramel, a Macadamia Caramel, a Hazelnut Truffle, a Bittersweet Truffle and a Dark Chocolate Caramel. Heavenly, each and every bite..simply heavenly! I also took home a small chocolate bar of Dark Chocolate Caramel with Almonds. Their chocolates are deep and rich in flavor, a pure, true chocolate flavor, smooth and creamy. The pieces are almost buttery in texture. They're beautifully displayed upon clear pedestals as the pieces of art they are. The chocolates are carefully boxed and finished with a pretty ribbon as a small gift to oneself. As pretentious as the store may look from the outside, the chocolates more than live up to the hype and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. What a great experience!
