Again, my parking karma continued as I found a spot right out front of Creo Chocolate, located…read morealong NW 23rd in Portland's Alphabet District (7/9/26). It had a really inviting layout upon entering. I loved that the retail shelves were filled and nicely organized with bars and various chocolate treats available for purchase. There's also a vast selection of individual chocolates in the glass case. I was kindly given a salted caramel with dark chocolate couverture to sample while I wandered the shop. I also filled out an entry slip for a chance to win a gift basket filled with hand crafted, single origin chocolates valued over $300. It was nice to see that their chocolates have been award winning too, seeing awards on display from years past. Shout out to the retail person onsite that day. Very pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. I was also given a product sheet where it was noted whether in stock or not and seasonal availability. I bought chocolate treats for others, and a 73% dark chocolate bar for myself. Highly recommended!

I'm not sure if this is the right location. the one I visited was on nw 23rd. chocolate was great…read more what was not so great was that I had a 3 lb yorkie in her carrier, and this woman took offense. saying it was a food establishment. anyone that knows Portland, it is dog friendly. in fact, I had just come from a restaurant that had. a "Pup Menu". for that reason alone, I would not go back to a place that made me feel unwelcome, no matter how good the chocolate.

It's always empty here in Beaverton for a reason. Hillsboro…read moreand Lake Oswego... read up. This is a biz model that you will see through. From bulks tea to repackaging. Marketing at best- designed branding and upscale look. That's how they can charge triple. Profit margins of middlemen example. Their tea from Africa is probably the best gimmick here, note: order extra hot (which you will get lukewarm) don't order cold it's horrible. Anyhow we are tea drinkers in nature and didn't get any sense of aroma. It might taste better if you fool yourself that the owner isn't American, up to your judgement ;) I know because I have good friend from Kenya. Many authentic women/minority for good cause out there that you can prove. Gimmicks are everywhere be careful. My recommendation for loose tea to take home; Tea is originated in Asia- here in Beaverton there are great options 1. Asian market for Oulong, Jasmine, Puerh, or 2. Apna Indian market for Chai, or 3. Uwajimaya for authentic matcha, Genmaicha, etc. Educate yourself go get a real deal. You pay a lot less for good stuff plus organic options, get air tight tin containers from Michaels, best consume within a year. And honey from farmers market is real local. Don't be fooled. Talk to the people who make things, not the repacking business. Afternoon tea? Invest in a set of tea pot, order British earl grey, grab pastries from New Seasons and do better yourself or if you have a lot of money left grab a flight to London, skip the fake expensive ones. Warn you.

Initially, i was heading to the Asian Family Market to get some groceries, but this little shop…read morecaught my eyes. Their sign said they had hot chocolate and tea, and I thought to myself: ... who can say no to that? The first impression of the shop was good. It was cute, clean, and spacious. On one wall you got array of tea on display, and on the other side you have the tea station along with a chocolate display case. Anne (with an e!) was there to greet us. She briefly introduced herself and explained what they had to offer today. Unfortunately the chocolates were very popular, so the case was a bit empty and we didn't get to try them. We ended up getting two Lavender Fog lattes and they came in super cute pink cups. My cousin was really impressed with the foam on top, since it was super fine and she just loved it! I also enjoyed my London Fog as well. However, If I can give one bit of feedback, I'd love to be able to control the sugar level. The tea latte was good, but it was so sweet that it muted my sense of taste a little. I understand that everyone has a different preference for sugar level, but I have been on a low sugar diet for years. So I think it would be very beneficial for a customer to order full/half/low sugar to their individual tastes. Otherwise the tea latte was nice and warm, and the flavor was enjoyable. Personally I'm very interested in doing high tea with my girlfriends. It sounded like it'd be a fun experience. Also from what I'd heard from Anne, they serve sandwiches, treats, and chocolates, soup, salad and unlimited tea. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a dream to me! If I ever try their high tea, I'll post about that experience too. Like many reviewers have addressed, this shop opened during the height of COVID. Anne told me it was (and still is) really stressful and difficult to keep the business going. So, if you are into tea, chocolate, good company, and/or supporting black owned businesses. You should definitely check this place out!

I've been a huge fan of the original location for a couple of years. Not only are they delicious, but their wrappers are beautiful too! I gave these away for Christmas gifts one year and it was a real hit. I had the opportunity to chat with the passionate owner, Hamoody. He's incredibly personable and told me about what the new location has in store. They have a soft opening right now (grand opening planned for the end of March 2025!), and it's even better than the other location. They'll be offering ice cream in addition to their chocolates. What really caught my eye, is the sign that said they have the viral Dubai chocolate.I even went to Dubai at the end of last year and couldn't find it! Hamoody told me they'll be creating a special fruit Dubai chocolate parfait-type dish. While it's not available just yet, I was assured it will be available soon.

We did the classic tasting without any add-ons except for mimosas while we were there. The highlights? We were raving about the vanilla scones (so simple, so good!), the meat pie, and the tea sandwiches. Every tea we selected was delicious and the pomegranate mimosas were a highlight for all of us. I encourage leaning into the theme, get dressed up, wear a fascinator, and fall into wonderland! Notes: reservations are highly encouraged due to limited space, so definitely make sure you reserve ahead of time! Allow extra time for parking - this is in the heart of downtown Beaverton and may require a little bit of a walk, but don't let that discourage you, keep circling and you'll find something, or settle for a nice little jaunt and enjoy the charm of downtown Beaverton.

What a fantastic gem this is!…read more Reservations are highly recommended and we had made one several months in advanced. We were in on a Saturday afternoon and nearly every table was occupied while we were there, yet it felt like we were the only table. The setting is very cool. There's so many hidden gems as you look around the space. Even down to their dinnerware and teapots. Each one unique and fun, enough to generate table conversations. Our server, Joey, was fantastic! He took the time to go over his favorite teas and answer any questions we had about ones we were interested in. I'm not a huge tea fan and I really enjoyed the one I got (birthday black tea-decaf). The food was so yummy! Our party were all so excited to try everything. The vanilla scone was the standout for me, but I did truly enjoy everything. My only caution is that parking can be a bit of a headache in the area so be aware ahead of time, but do not let that stop you from making a reservation for afternoon tea, it's worth it!

They sell them in prepackaged 8 oz bags of discs for $20. This may sound expensive, but for this quality of chocolate, it's worth it.

The retail section also has single origin chocolate bars from Ecuador and Peru, drinking chocolate, beautiful bars peppered with various add ons, chocolate covered hazelnuts and more. All packaged beautifully - perfect hostess or just because gifts! Woodblock has designed a beautiful space. Inside, when you enter, there are tables and chairs for those that want to enjoy chocolate, tea or coffee beverages and snacks there. Further back is the Counter that offers bakery items like chocolate chip cookies, savory cheddar & jalapeño scones, croissants and muffins. They have a variety of drinks which of course includes hot cocoa! But also matcha lattes, mocha's. Chai lattes and chocolate sodas To name a few. Located one door down from NE Broadway on NE 17th, It's worth stopping in! Sure, you can buy their chocolates at several retail places around Portland, but here, you can enjoy fresh pastries and chocolate drinks and purchase goodies to go.

I loved having my chocolate drink in a small, espresso like cup. The whipped cream was so decadent. Drinking the chocolate with a little spoon was perfectly marvelous. My friend appeared to enjoy his soda. The space is wide open, comfortable, with plenty of seating. This little business is located in a part of town called Irvington. It's on the street parking, and I can take you a few blocks to find a spot. Do not let that deter you. This place is a hidden gym.

Limited outdoor sidewalk seating, but inside, there's a lot of seating at a few tables and along a lengthy banquette. Eye catching interior - gawked at the production equipment, the pastry case, the display shelving, and merch galore. Most notable once I entered, I was hit with the intense scent of chocolate. The staff person greeted me warmly and was patient while I perused the menu. I chose to sip onsite a 9oz drinking chocolate which was served with whipped cream and seltzer water on a tray. Definitely not something to guzzle, but to savor slowly and pick up on the complex flavor and luscious texture. A wonderful find!

At this point I've tried a number of things here and every one of them were delicious! The Japanese pancakes were so fluffy and fun, called ahead just to make sure they could make them right after opening but couldn't get through. THEY CALLED ME BACK IMMEDIATELY!! I have never had a food place care enough to actually call back if they miss a call. I was so happy with the pancakes too, nicely made and yummy. Their tiny cakes are all perfect too, I'm in love with each one especially the PDX rose! So bright and flavorful, with a beautiful outside that matches its taste! Can't forget the Japanese Cream Cheese Bun, it's soooooo good and the price matches the taste (aka good price for a good dessert). Not too sweet but still delicious! Just gotta make sure you eat it fresh, forgot to eat my last one for an hour and it got dry but still had its yummy taste. I super recommend this place!!

I added breakfast to this place while they visited me for a few days. We called in our order as instructed on the website. Unfortunately no Boba was available for on the pancakes. When we arrived I was disheartened to find the place rather small either intense heat of a bakery, which made the lone table inside with a meandering fly the least bit welcoming. When adding drinks to our order, the lone man working there asked me a few times whether I really was ordering coffee for a child (and yes, she settled on a mocha when it was determined he only knew how to sprinkle matcha powder on the pancakes, and hadn't a clue as to their application to drinks). My grandson ordered their 'special hot chocolate' which pretty much tasted like watered-down Ovaltine. We sat outside to eat and after a few bites and finding these were nothing like the fluffy Japanese pancakes they'd expected, we threw away $44 worth of what was supposed to be a pleasant breakfast experience. I guess this was a life lesson for the kids, that our expectations aren't always met. And I want to prevent any other adults from making the same mistake I did in taking my business there!
