We attended their Valentine's Day workshop "The Key To Your Heart" which is a box puzzle game with two boxes of chocolates as the prize. The puzzles to unlock the box were slightly challenging and fun! The crew has put a lot of thoughts in it! Highly recommend this activity! The shop is very welcoming with lots of cute and colorful decorations. The staff kindly offered us two different types of chocolate for tasting and mentioned that we could try either one. I chose one to start, and it was smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. After that, we continued browsing and picked out about $80 worth of chocolates to bring home. When we went to pay, I decided to try the second flavor that was still available for sampling. As I reached for it, a staff made a comment about me going for my second piece. It caught me a little off guard. Considering we had just purchased a fairly generous amount, it felt unnecessary to point it out. I understand that samples are meant to be limited, but the remark made the moment slightly awkward when it had otherwise been a pleasant shopping experience.

Took the tour at Maeve Chocolates, formerly known as Seattle Chocolates. Maeve absolutely lived up to her name. Intoxicating and the cause of great joy. She rules. A true warrior. Learned a lot, too. Chocolate making is about 50% science and 50% magic. What also stood out was the heart behind the company. Maeve is 100% women owned, with a workforce made up of approximately 75% women. Their chocolate is organic, gluten free, ethically sourced, and carbon neutral. They also donate 10% of net profits back to cocoa farmers. Love the mission. It felt like one of those places I would enjoy working, and I would really enjoy meeting Jean, the CEO and owner. Grateful to John for scheduling my tour and to Denise for such a welcoming and informative experience. Definitely worth visiting.

Five Stars for the Maeve / Seattle Chocolate factory tour. Our tour was led by Sam. She was super knowledge and gave an amazing tour! This lady needs a raise! Maeve Chocolates is a woman-owned business. I also believe about 75% of their employees are women. That is amazing! There is so much warmth and culture from this company. The tour was about 60 minutes long. It includes some education about cocoa beans, sourcing, and a factory tour. And of course there are a lot of taste testing done along the way! Manager Denise was also amazing. She and her staff had some amazing customer service. Thanks for a great experience!

Fall treats!

This company and their chocolate are amazing! Who doesn't love to eat tasty treats, learn a bit, and support a good cause all at the same time? Well, that can happen here. Maeve Chocolate (Seattle Chocolate Company) ethically sources their cacao from farmers, and then turns around and donates a portion of their profits back to support those farmers. Amazing! We're not a milk chocolate household but the milk chocolate at Maeve is seriously so good. So chocolatey and creamy! The dark chocolate is the star though. It's fudgey and creamy and perfect. The flavors and branding artwork that are part of the Maeve brand are so fun and colorful! I wanted to buy them all. The Creme Brulee and coffee infused bars are my favorites. The other brand they make, jcoco, is higher-end Peruvian chocolate and has some truly interesting flavor combinations - like smoked sea salt, a white chocolate with orange and Cayenne, and quinoa sesame. The staff working there were welcoming, knowledgeable, and offered so many samples! We left fat and happy, and full of bonbons.

We visited the Seattle Chocolate factory tour (now as Maeve Chocolate). You need to reserve your spot online beforehand, and we joined the 2 p.m. tour on a Saturday. Since the factory machines don't run on weekends, we didn't get to see them in action. However, the tour was still very enjoyable. Highly recommend! The experience started in a tasting room where we learned about the entire chocolate-making journey, from sourcing cacao beans at the farm and fermentation to the final production steps. Our tour guide passed around byproducts from each stage, like cacao bean shells and cocoa butter, while explaining the process. We also watched an informative video with more visuals about the company's history. Next, we visited the factory floor, where our guide gave a detailed explanation of what goes on at each station. After the tour, we got to the best part: sampling the chocolate! We did a fun blind tasting where we guessed the ingredients before they revealed which product it was. We also got to sample some of their famous chocolates throughout the tour. Overall, I learned a lot and was very happy with how much chocolate we got to sample!

Maeve (Seattle Chocolate,) is my very favorite LOCAL chocolate brand to gift! I was in the area working and made a point to stop by to purchase some of my favorites with the new packaging. The chocolate is the SAME, the only thing that's new is the name, and packaging. The customer service at this location is very welcoming, I wish i would have had time to participate in a tasting. The next time I'm in the area I will definitely plan ahead. Seattle is filled with so many wonderful chocolatier's, I highly recommend adding Maeve (Seattle Chocolate,) to your list!

We had our very first factory tour today with guide John. He was very fun, informative and made our time very interactive as we enjoyed the abundance of chocolate. The factory was amazing, efficient and extremely well organized. We have been fans of Seattle Chocolates for years and we are glad we made it out for a visit. Thank you John and the rest of the staff for making a fun experience to go along with an awesome product!!!! I recommend the factory tour to anyone interested.

I finally made it to the factory! Now known as Maeve, they still had the same great creations, just a different name. Upon walking in, the guy was friendly, explaining some of the basics. I happily customized my own bag with truffles (now called bon bons) and also made a small boxed gift for someone else with 17 truffles (one of each kind). As for my own, I stuck with my favorite peanut butter and added in some other flavors I was curious about. Behind the glass window was where those who signed up for the tour were sitting and hopefully indulging in a lot of chocolate. I didn't get the chance to join one today but possibly next time I'm in town. Free parking out front was plentiful, and if you're there on Saturday, they supposedly heavily discount the former 'Seattle Chocolate' branded items that I wish were available all week, so you're going to get a great deal.

Love this pig and message behind

I stopped by here by chance. The parking lot is around the store. From the outside, it feels like you can't tell it's a chocolate store at all. But there was a Seattle chocolate sign at the entrance. There were quite a few people inside the store, and I found out later that there was the chocolate factory tour. I thought I'd like to join the tour next time. I looked around the store slowly, but it was hard to choose because there were various kinds of chocolate with very fun packaging and unusual combinations. After much hesitation, I first chose five flavors I wanted to try from Minibar Chocolate. And I got a package for five of those minibars. It's cute like a mini book. The woman at the store is bright and very energetic. And this is the flagshop store.

This experience was so much fun, who doesn't love some chocolate. Only crazy people in my opinion. Haha. While on vacation we visited this factory, we did the tour and learned some new things about chocolate and where it comes from. My family and I really enjoyed the tour, highly recommend, especially if you have the tour guide named Blaze. Blaze was great, energetic and fun!!! He made the tour; for sure. The store was small but very cutely decorated for Christmas. The displays of their chocolate were pleasing to the eye and they had some lovely options for gift purchasing. The chocolates were delightful and they had some unique flavors that I wasn't so sure about but they ended up being very good. If you are in the area, definitely check it out. Great learning experience for all ages.

My husband surprised me for my birthday by taking me here for three Seattle Chocolate tour and it was so much fun! We drove and they have a parking lot. We did the 10am on a Tuesday tour and it ended up being just us which was pretty cool! Our tour host was Caleb and he was soo nice! We really enjoyed our tour with him! The tour: Starts with some intro videos and a little chocolate tasting to start - some heated chocolate in a cup and some cocoa nibs. Both very tasty. Then we started the factory tour - which doesn't allow phones, glass, gum or personal belongings - they have lockers you can put everything in and they give hairnets. It was really cool to see the behind the scenes of everything being made. The final part was the tasting and also my favorite part! We got to try a nice variety of their different chocolates and all had a really diverse flavor! So much fun trying to guess the flavors and tasting notes. Afterwards, we went shopping in their store which has a ton of different chocolates! We bought some gifts for family and of course some chocolate for ourselves. Their store is super cute! Staff is friendly and welcoming and it's such a fun experience just to come and check out all of the different chocolate flavors available! 10/10 would come for their other events and to get more chocolate! I heard they do some fun Halloween things. They also have chocolate sales on the imperfect bars that aren't wrapped down distribution once in awhile!

As a Seattle native, I never knew Seattle Chocolates had a factory tour. The experience was pretty pleasant, they gave you a bit of a history lesson, but it was interactive throughout. Our tour guide was also very friendly and answered all our questions. I don't remember her name, but she was passionate about her job. I think that's why our tour was pretty good. If you like chocolates you will get to try out different kinds throughout the experience and learn about the differences between them. Pretty cool stuff! You also get a 10% discount at the end to use in the store after.

Fun for all ages

The service was super friendly and fast. They didn't judge us when we were fighting for the bills…read more It's pretty good! The drinks are good even when it's 0% sugar. The place is super cute with nice decoration and good amount of tables for people to sit.

I've been to this location since 2017 when it first opened and have been deterred from coming here…read morein the past because of some rowdy car meetups that take up the spacious parking lot it shares with several other businesses like a teriyaki place. This was on a Friday night around 7:30pm, and my group of 5 came here to get some balls inside us... or more like just satisfy our sweet tooths. For this visit, I decided to get one of their signature smoothies: cuddles on the beach. It's a blend of strawberry, peach and mango, and comes with a bunch of peach bits. This whole drink was really sweet - there were options to change levels of sweetness that I did not see carefully that would have made my rink better. Probably if I had gotten it much less sweet - if that is possible for the cuddles on the beach - it would be much better. Peach bits were one of my favorite parts of the drink, as I could easily suck them through my straw like balls haha. I'd go as far as to say this drink went past the cuddles and went all the way... :P It was fun striking a conversation with my server up front when she asked me and friends about our day, and that made this visit a lot better. That's kinda the feel of this place especially when it gets late at night, because there's a lot of people that come inside and fill the tables. As for my group of six, we definitely contributed to the already loud noises of people talking and blenders blazing to make drinks. This place wouldn't really be my go-to for drinks in general, even though it does open much later than most other places serving boba, but they have a ton of interestingly named drinks that I'd try when I want a late-night boba call :PP
