The flagship of 3 Portland shops (+1 in SOHO), carrying OVER 400 BARS in a LIBRARY OF CHOCOLATE…read moreorganized by flavor profile. This small (but mighty) woman-owned business is celebrating 20 years with Kinsey at the forefront focused on their central values of connection & service. Beyond first impressions, they're also thoughtful to care for employees behind-the-scenes, providing paid vacation, 401K matching, health insurance, and other BIG COMPANY benefits. Commitment to quality is experienced in their beautiful chocolate - the eponymous (house) label made by local chocolatier RANGER, alongside a multitude of other local & global brands, pastas, and pantry goods. I came looking for something spicy, and the "FLEUR DE HELL" (play on words - see their "fleur de sel" SALT subscription online) DARK CHOCOLATE is everything - ghost pepper, red pepper flake, and sea salt that makes it savory, spicy, and sweet all at the same time.

Oh don't skip this shop. I know it's on a street of great…read morebougie shops but this one is charm upon charm: it's like walking into a grown-up candy store and finding wrapped bonbons that you want to try -- chocolates that are milk and dark -- all kinds of extraordinary flavors wrapped like truffles. Cherry cordials, pear cordials, apple cordials in chocolates. Caramel chocolates, chocolate caramels. Thing is it's hard for not to love the store because it has three of my favorite things: 1. chocolate: shelves and shelves of unique artisan chocolates made with skill and care from all over the world. 2. And salt -- am a VERY big fan of picking up local salts whenever one is traveling -- including actual blocks and blocks of Himalayan salt stacked. Not imitation but the real stuff. They even have fresh popcorn for you to taste the truffle salt with. 3. Lastly they have fresh cut flowers. It's like a florist and you can create your own bouquets. Beautiful specimens with structure and freshness. I have to say they also have bottles and bottles of bitters -- crafted bitters. King Floyd chief among them. The staff person was super helpful. She was kind and educational about many things.

The store was clean and organized. The prices of the items were comparable to other shops we had visited in and around Portland. Among the products, I loved their magnet wall full of unique designs. There were really nice stickers and postcards. After exploring the store for several minutes, we picked few magnets and stickers. Staff members were friendly and interacting with guests. The checkout was quick and easy. Highly recommend this store to anyone looking to do souvenir shopping in downtown Portland.

Additionally, they have vinyl records available here which caught my eye. I didn't purchase any but it's nice to see they offer them here. Portland is lucky to have this kind of shop around and it's worth checking out.

I had walked past it countless times walking up and down 23rd, but finally decided to stop in when I was looking for a gift for my partner's mom. I was not disappointed, and this shop has something for everyone, not just middle aged moms. Not only did I find the perfect gift and card, I bought a few things to take home for myself. The quality and craftsmanship of the items here is really impressive. From the paper quilled greeting cards, to the pottery, to the hand carved wooded fountain pens, I was in awe at the level of talent displayed in this store. It's really well decorated (with emphasis on the current season) and there is eye candy everywhere you look. I really wish I had taken more pictures because the two I took just do not do this place justice. My favorite part of the store was the "toppings bar", a cute little nook filled with ribbons and cute gift tags to add the perfect finishing touch to any wrap job. Bottom line: If you are looking for a gift, or just something festive for your holiday decor or table setting, this is a great place to consider.
