Updated Review: Adding more context to my review about available events at One World Shop. I…read moreorganized tea party here. I included a cute event page (tea party) they created for our group. The shop does NOT offer chocolate parties (not yet anyway). They were gracious enough to allow our group to bring in chocolate from local stores and support their fair trade chocolate, which we set up ourselves. It's a great idea for anyone hosting to add! We tasted the following from their store which I bought at the store: Zotter Coconut Labooko Chocolate Bar, Zotter Wild Berries with Vanilla Mini Bar, Zotter Apple Pie (Hand-scooped Chocolate), Zotter Macadamia in Blackcurrant (Balleros), Divine chocolates (variety), Equal Exchange, Women's Bean Project Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans, and Alter Ego Chocolate. I very highly recommend Zotter hand scooped chocolate and chocolate covered espresso beans! They were a crowd favorite! Here's more about their event planning: https://one-world-shop-cleveland.myshopify.com/pages/events.

I can't say enough great things about One World Shop! Want a gem in our city! I love love love this store!
The store is committed to fair trade, and all employees truly live out that mission. The store has global treasure of such variety - chocolate, tea, candles, sweets, clothes, accessories, house wares, home decor, children's books, pet treats, and so much more. I was blown away by the variety of merchandise, quality, and the number of regions that this store supports. My favorites were hand scooped chocolates, especially apple pie from Zotter, chocolate covered espresso beans from Women's Bean Project. I also really loved the fact that there were so many children's books about the world and empowering topics. Whether you're entertaining, gifting, or just want to treat yourself, you'll find everything you need at this store. It has an open layout and treasures in every single corner. Considering how far these treasures traveled and the quality, the value is excellent. They offer shipping and pickup options too. I found pick up options to be excellent!
Every brand has a beautiful story of impact, it's a wonderful assortment of do good brands. Purchasing anything from the store makes you feel like you're making a difference.
This store also hosted women's group that I'm a part of at their location. I was coordinating the event (tea party). The store was very attentive to all of our needs, very responsive, and just blew us away with everything! We had 27 guests. They provided us with tasty lemonades, teas, cupcakes, savory and sweet treats. We got to experience Storehouse Tea. We paid $20 per person which was a great value. They also did a wonderful presentation about fair trade. We felt very welcome and very well cared for. The event was during golden hour and the way the sun illuminated the entire store. I was very grateful to the team of One World Shop for all the hard work.
The store has wonderful volunteer opportunities on their board and in their store. Look into community events that they organize and upcoming events in store!
Without hesitation, I'd host more events and shop in this store. In fact, I'm looking at what I can buy next right after this review! Visit, you're guaranteed to love this place!
