The chocolates are better than anything you will get anywhere else. The staff are knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Be sure to stop in when you're in the neighborhood. read more

While I'm able to decipher between low-end big brand chocolate from something more artisan, it's difficult to distinguish between good and great. That said, the chocolates here are a cut above. They are very generous with their samples, you will most likely purchase something out of guilt. They also offer a frequent buyer card. Kind employees and usually easy parking. read more

Missionary Chocolates - The Ghost Pepper Salt (not shown) was excellent. - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Incredible chocolates that just so happen to be vegan. I highly recommend Missionary Chocolates! This little shop produces some delicious flavored sweets, including seasonal flavors, alcohol-infused chocolates, and CBD truffles. The staff is super kind, and they offer samples of any chocolates while you're in the store, so it's a very fun experience to visit. Their packaging is high-quality and these make for a wonderful gift. NOTE: they're moving in October 2025 up to the Hollywood district. Location photos may be out of date. They also have a location in the PDX airport now. read more

This location on 28th and Glisan is now closed. They moved to NE 41st and Hancock. I haven't visited thru new location and bought the chocolates at market of choice. Close your eyes and bite in their chocolate you will be transported to your happy place. My wife really enjoyed her Vday bites. The last time I visited the Glisan location their service was quick. read more

Missionary Chocolates - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I stopped in for some chocolate on a Sunday after a gym friend told me about this place. I am dairy and gluten free so I was sold since this place fits the bill for my dietary needs. I tried a couple samples while in store and ended up with a small box of peppermint and sea salt cameral. I also had to get a bag of chocolate gummy bears. There is plenty of parking and also they are at the airport. I will probably end up buying more in the future. They do ship for those who don't live in portland. My family might be getting some in the future as well. read more

I recently visited this lovely shop for a second time. The staff is incredibly nice. All of their products are so good. Definitely make a stop and support them. read more

They have a pop-up at the airport for the holidays. The Truffles and caramels are very good. We bought four boxes with four inside each. They make nice gifts. Don't forget to ask for a sample. read more

A chocolatier shop owned by a Naturopathic Doctor?! Count me in. All the flavors here are phenomenal, and you can barely tell it's dairy free. My favorites have definitely been the chocolate covered chips. But their truffles truly melt in your mouth as well. If you go into store you're offered a delightful sample as well. read more

It is quite possible these delicious truffles are my new favorite chocolates. In search of a lemon truffle as a gift for a friend, I wandered in to Missionary Chocolates. The friendly staff offered me samples of different chocolates, and I was easily sold! Their vegan (made with coconut milk) truffles are so incredibly flavorful and delicious, I ended up buying several boxes. You can choose the amount of chocolates you want in a box, and you can mix and match flavors. I bought some Meyer Lemon Explosion truffles, and my goodness, they delivered on the explosion of lemon! I also bought some Vanilla Salted Caramel truffles, and I could taste real vanilla. I have yet to try the Peppermint Perfection truffles that I purchased as well, but I'm sure they will be amazing! As a gift for my sister, I bought her some blood orange and some passionfruit truffles, seasonal options, and she raved about how good they were! I look forward to trying more delicious truffles soon! read more

Really had a great experience here in the Portland airport. Right past check-in area so it was easy to find and with signs out that say vegan chocolate...What can I say? Very inviting! We tried some unique combinations. We tasted the white chocolate bar with potato chips. An odd flavor, but the texture was fun. (I kind of wish I'd bought the chocolate covered potato chips. Maybe next time.) To "cleanse our palate" we tried the chocolate covered cinnamon gummy bear. That was tasty. Not too overwhelming on the cinnamon. Don't think I could eat a lot of them though. The truffles were nice too. The sales associate was really knowledgeable and clearly had a deep respect for the product. They gave great descriptions that captured the essence of the chocolate tasting experience for each item (of course there were also samples to offer a first hand experience). There is an amazing variety here. I can't wait to try what we bought. (Chocolate covered cherries, a whisky chocolate and gluten free chocolate covered pretzels!!!) read more

I wandered into Missionary expecting to purchase a few tasty treats, but this exceeded my expectations. The flavors also blew me away. I'm usually more savory person when it comes to my chocolate pairings... like caramel or coconut, but my favorites were the fruity combinations. The passion fruit really stood out! The bourbon caramel truffle was stellar, as was the champagne truffle. The Earl Grey was another one I loved. As I was picking out my mix for the box, I also ended up grabbing a bar that had toffee pretzel bits and WOW. I didn't eat that til I was home in Phoenix, and the bar only lasted me 2 days. So addictive. Recommend stopping in here for some samples and treating yourself to some incredible chocolates. Great staff, super friendly and knowledgeable, and the owner is one of the kindest I've met! read more

Im not even vegan and I love these chocolates. I have a very sensitive stomach and it's a great treat that won't leave you feeling sick. I used to frequent their old location more and the workers were very sweet! Main girl working named coco was always helpful showing me new flavors and answering questions! Love it there read more

Wow I'm not vegan but I love these chocolates. My partner and I have been trying different chocolates (all dark) throughout the West Coast and we keep coming back for their unique dark truffle flavors. Melissa and team are super nice and it feels like you're part of the family when you enter the store. They let you sample before you buy. Try some new flavors while you're there! Our favorite flavors: - elderberry - lavender - Jasmine tea - rose and saffron - blood orange and cardamom read more

Friendly, delicious chocolates, highly recommend! Have as gift to vegan family member and they were delighted.

I bought 6 bars of sugar free chocolate. I only tried one bar of Meyer Lemon. It was horrible. It had very little flavor of either chocolate or lemon and the texture was hideous. It did not melt in my mouth and the consistency was more like clay than chocolate. Do not waste your money on this product! read more

What a delight. So thankful for their incredible mastery of making delicious vegan chocolate. My favorites were the dark chocolate and vanilla salted caramel. Friendly and gracious employees. read more

This is my favorite chocolate in the world. I regularly get the 12 piece custom box of truffles. My favorite flavors being: * Balsamic Fig * Champagne * Jacobsen Pinot Salted * Jacobsen Smoked Cherrywood Salted * Meyer Lemon Explosion * Peppermint (I appreciate that they wrap this one in tinfoil; the smell is intense!) * Simply Espresso * Strawberry (or Raspberry) Heart * Vanilla Salted Caramel * Whiskey ... So basically all of them. The 12 piece custom box is $40, shipping is $15.60, for a total of $55.60. Worth it. Let me tell you. The last two times I ordered, I even got a complimentary truffle with a note about who packed my box. And the truffle was a different one than any I ordered. I LOVE that attention to detail, and I LOVE that personalization. It makes me feel more connected to their brand when I'm reminded that a real human being carefully packaged my sweets up! The truffles, by the way, are enormous. My first purchase was in 2017 and to this day, they are perfect in every way: rich, abundantly flavorful, the ideal consistency, and literally melt-in-your-mouth. I like to have one with some bourbon. It's the perfect nightcap! Love from East Coast Portland! read more

Missionary Chocolates - a hand holding a box of chocolates - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The few hours hubs and I had left in Portland before heading to the airport, I wanted to end it on a chocolate note. And since my daughter raves about Missionary being a total Vegan chocolatier, this made the cut. Missionary is located in a small strip mall in the Kerns neighborhood in Portland. Be amazed- because I was- with the intense cocoa scent that lingered all around. Be even more amazed at the skill these ladies have for making Vegan Chocolates- and you wouldn't even miss the dairy. The menu is very straightforward with interesting flavors. Price for a box of 12 goes for $40- a little bit more than what I'm used to paying elsewhere, but these are quite substantial in size than a typical smallish truffle size I've gotten at other chocolatiers. I'll take it. Service is incredibly friendly. I got a rundown of flavors and mentioned they ship outside of Portland. FYI- this is strictly chocolate truffles (with things like chocolate covered almonds and stuff)- and not the place where you'd also get drinking hot chocolate. Missionary is still fantastic. read more

This is my favorite chocolate place in the city! I've been coming here for years. I love in Gladstone though, so I don't get here as often as I'd like to. Their chocolate is really really good. All their flavors are amazing and my favorites are the lemon, raspberry and now the Manhattan!!! Yum! Friendly folks and I always like to support them when I can! read more

Their chocolate is SO delicious and plus it's vegan. I can't have dairy and I like dark chocolate so this was a great find and a little present to take with me to my family in California. Everyone enjoyed it. read more

UPDATE: The owner contacted us. She was very apologetic. She sent a replacement shipment with appropriate insulation and cold packs. The chocolates arrived in perfect condition and my wife loved them. She said they were some of the best chocolates she had ever eaten. Unfortunately, my daughter didn't get to give the chocolates to her mother as a gift on Mother's Day, but after all was said and done, they were both satisfied. read more

Missionary Chocolates - These are my daughter's melted chocolates. - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Having previously patronized Missionary Chocolates in person, and entirely falling in love with their glorious truffles, I jumped at the chance to stock up when they had a 50% off sale a little while back. This was near ridiculous, as their generously sized chocolates are already a great deal at around $3.50-$4 each. I ordered one of every flavor in stock, plus chocolate covered potato chips, chocolate covered sandwich cookies, and a sugar free lemon bar as a keto gift (sweetened with monk fruit). They have other offerings like chocolate covered marshmallows and cinnamon bears (I wanted these, but sadly they were out), and gift-y stuff like a locally made skincare set. MC's truffles are vegan, though you would never know it. I am not vegan, and like them just as well (often more!) than similar ones made elsewhere. Flavors are not bashful. They are bold and proud of it! I find this particularly noticeable for those containing alcohol. I think it may be more apparent to me as I generally do not imbibe, but just be aware that they ain't messing around! With that said, I cannot resist the citrusy, sparkling champagne Mimosa flavor. There are some standards always on offer, along with seasonal varieties. A few of my other favorites are: Peppermint - Attractively wrapped in bright emerald foil, refreshing and cool, but not overpowering. A paragon of mint chocolate perfection. Earl Grey - The bergamot is a DREAM. Cookies N Cream - So crunchy and exactly how you would hope it would taste. Missionary does fruity flavors beautifully. I particularly adore balsamic fig, elderberry, raspberry, pomegranate, and strawberry. CBD truffles have a different filling than the standard square ones: a bit more melty, with a rich and luxurious mouth feel. I would absolutely order these again, as, if you are going to eat chocolate, you may as well get the benefits of CBD, too! Because I got a little out of control, I froze about half of my chocolates. They held up well, and while the filling might not be quite as luscious, I do not feel that they have altered much. Lastly, there was a small error with my order, but when I let the owner, Melissa, know, she remedied it post haste. If I lived in Portland, I would appear here monthly. As it is, I will satisfy myself with the occasional online order. Take advantage of such close proximity to a wonderful chocolate shop if you are lucky enough to reside in that glorious city, otherwise follow my suit and treat yourself to a shipment of these delicious goodies. read more

A real Portland gem! Vegan and gluten-free chocolate with all the sugar and fat and pleasure you would expect from any indulgent chocolate! Besides being delicious all around and a great gift to bring to anyone, the customer service is amazing! They practically forced me to take two whole truffles as free samples even though I came in just to buy a box! read more

One of my favorite chocolatiers hands down and it is amazing that everything is vegan. They even offer most things gluten free. They love to give samples. Their caramels are my personal favorite though I also highly recommend the chocolate covered raisins as well. The customer service is amazing and they are beyond happy to help! read more

Love the chocolate. Just so confused with the marketing and whether or not it all included CBD or some kind of pharmaceutical grade stuff.

Missionary chocolates just what the doctor ordered!?! It's true, chocolate was once considered ancient medicine (heart aid, stimulant, and antioxidant properties) but Melissa (the owner) is also a naturopathic physician. The chocolates are dairy, gluten, and nut free--coconut milk used. Handcrafted with love. When you actually purchase the chocolate in-store you are greeted with lots of chocolates to sample. It is also nice that they have an innumerable amount of chocolates to try. I haven't met a flavor I didn't enjoy and you are bound to find a flavor you love. The way it works the flavors are chosen and you can package/gift in sizes of 2, 5, 12, and 15--or can be purchased individually. It is totally customizable. You can also order on their website and or purchase new season market, coops, and few other stores in Portland. Once everything is picked out you pay and it's all boxed in a very nice sturdy box with a red ribbon. When you return for more bring in your empty box of 5 (same box will be used) and receive a dollar off. All are amazing, however, my favorites were vanilla salted Carmel and passionfruit. They have launched a new flavor which I haven't tried yet but I think it's worth noting. CBD oil-infused truffles, while these have no psychoactive effects (completely legal to purchase) it has been linked with aiding in pain, anxiety, and migraines. Also alcohol infused flavored truffles available. The owner is such a darling and has an amazing staff backing her. Healing with chocolate! Have you had your chocolate fix today? Keep in mind that they are closed on Mondays. For ANYONE who loves chocolate!! Love love love this place--Missionary chocolates you've made a fan of me!!!!! Recommend. Fun fact: Melissa's mother could not have dairy as she was vegan for many years, this is where the business venture all began. read more

Placed on order for a chocolate treat for a family member who needs some joy. Did this on a recommendation from a friend and really didn't grasp that these chocolate delights are GF and vegan. Could not be happier with the service or my delighted family member who is plotting where to hide them from her children. Actually stopped by the shop, sampled and bought a few home - the quality is really great and I am extremely picky about chocolate-, actually pretty snotty about chocolate. Will be ordering more and certainly visiting the shop. Love this place read more

Stopped in this little gem a couple of days ago while in NE for lunch. Since I LOVE raspberry, i got the chocolate raspberry vegan jewel truffle (crunchy coating and soft center with a slight tartness, YUM) and the dried raspberry and chocolate pretzels (so crunchy and good)! Both wonderful. They will let you sample a chocolate of your choice. Service was lovely and kind. I definitely will be back. Treat yourself to wondrous dark, vegan chocolate. You deserve it!! read more

11 miles. Two freeways. That's how far we venture to buy chocolate from Missionary. We aren't even vegan and neither are most everyone in our lives. It's our standing hostess gift, the treat we give when we travel to see friends, family, and coworkers, and where we take visitors. There was a shipping snafu once and Melissa handled it promptly and did more than I expected. Unanimously our people have loved the Meyer Lemon Explosion and mine is the Marshmallow Bars. My mouth was watering just writing this. read more

These chocolate truffles are so full of flavor! Bourbon was my favorite and salted caramel too. We loved them so much we went back to purchase more goodies like chocolate covered marshmallows. Seriously, I can't believe these are vegan. read more

Tasty chocolate and you get two samples! So delicious :) I wasn't sure how to get the chocolates but it's on a menu on the left.

I think the first time I tried Missionary Chocolates was at a Yelp Elite event, and I remember thinking "vegan chocolate? Ewww..." but I tried it and it was very good. Then a while later, I saw the little yellow boxes at New Seasons and bought one to try. Recently I wanted to give my colleagues at work a gift from PDX so I went to Missionary Chocolates and was blown away by the flavors and the customer service. These are chocolates that are dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, and nut-free. They're coconut cream based, and some flavors let more of the coconut flavor thru than others. Can't taste it with the lemon, for instance. Not sugar-free, though they do have some sugar-free bars. First of all, the local stores only carry a couple flavors. If you're in the area, you gotta go to their storefront! The shop is not very big, as most of the space is used for making the candy. But they will let you try any of the chocolates they have. I should say "encourage" vs "let" because on my first trip there, the owner, Melissa, was pushing so much chocolate at us I could barely keep up. They have a lot more flavors in the shop, including some chocolate bars, sugar-free chocolate bars (plain and flavored), chocolate covered pretzels & potato chips, chocolate covered marshmallows, and some CBD-infused chocolates. And they are all FANTASTIC! They have a number of seasonal flavors that change throughout the year, so I'm going to have to go back later and try the summer flavors, and then again in fall/winter. Take an empty box back for a refill and they'll credit you $1. You can custom mix/match your boxes of chocolate, and they put a handy little form inside the box lid so you know what's what. The chocolates I took to my friends were received very well. I keep getting emails from them saying they liked the next flavor they tried. These make wonderful gifts, and I'll definitely be back to buy more for myself, and my friends/family. Definitely worth a stop if you're in town. read more

Vegan Chocolates? I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. It wasn't the ultra creamy, rich and delicious confection that I found in my mouth. The gentleman behind the counter was a gem, he went over the currently available and offered samples of flavor combinations I didn't think would work, but they really did, like lemon chocolate SO GOOD! I ended up purchasing a dozen multi flavored chocolates and didn't regret my purchase at all! The chocolates were amazing and loved by my family back in Florida. read more

If you are looking for a great chocolate shop, look no further and immediately put this into your GPS!!! My chocolate loving friend was in town so I looked up chocolates on yelp and went with Missionary Chocolates. We were blown away by the shockingly tasty chocolates and the best (I am not exaggerating) customer service I have ever experienced at a chocolate or sweets shop!! Avari was so sweet and helpful and patient as we figured out what we wanted to get! I can't believe all the chocolates are vegan and gluten free because they. are. so. good. The texture is pure smooth and creamy goodness and the flavors are strong and perfectly spot on! Earl grey and meyer lemon were our absolute favorites and espresso and lavender were also *chef's kiss* Melissa was super friendly from the moment we came through the door to when we walked out. I have never had such attentive, non pressuring, friendly, generous service at a chocolate shop before! All the people working there seemed like genuinely good people who are passionate about what they do, and they want to help you find something you will like! Melissa and Avari sent us out with so many goodies and were so generous with samples- we can't wait to savor these works of art over the next few days and enjoy more flavors! If I had to go to one chocolate shop for the rest of my existence, it would be this one. That said, I will definitely be back to get their chocolates as gifts, and bring friends and family here to experience the magic of this woman-owned shop and their spectacular (imagine fireworks) chocolate!!! read more
