We stopped into Albion to pick up something from another shop and parked right in front of Yellow Bird. Of COURSE I had to stop in! And I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. It's absolutely delightful!
They're a bean to bar chocolate shop, roasting their own cocoa beans and processing them to make delicious chocolate covered orange slices, truffles, chocolate bars, hot cocoa and more. I got a bag of the aforementioned orange slices, a box of truffles with beans sourced from Vietnam and the Dominican Republic in flavors like blood orange and jasmine, plus a vegan milk chocolate bar made with oat milk and coconut and almonds. My mom picked up some jasmine hot cocoa, too.
The fella running the counter was a joy to chat with and the owner/chocolatier (I unfortunately can't recall her name) was also there and lovely to speak with. The shop also smelled incredible since they were working on roasting beans and making some of the chocolate while we were there. Can't wait to get back and see what else they create in the future! read more
