The person who rang me up was telling us that it used to be a boot factory. The other lady said it became a chocolate factory in like 1912. She mentioned they used to make Mars candy bars here as well. They even have a link for a virtual tour. It was a nice little shopping adventure. I highly recommend checking it out.

The tasting featured six…read moredistinct chocolates -- everything from bright, fruity single-origin bars to richer, high-cacao pieces -- and while all were tasty, I generally preferred the darker, more complex offerings. The textures were clean and the flavor development in the dark bars (bitter-sweet, with subtle fruit and spice notes) stood out. The tour guide They were excellent, personable, clearly passionate, and very knowledgeable about bean sourcing, tempering, and flavor profiling. Their demos on conching and tempering made the process tangible without getting bogged down in jargon. Some history Maeve Chocolate's shift from the Seattle Chocolate name reflects a move to emphasize craft, single-origin sourcing, and a modern identity that better represents their focus on ethical sourcing and flavor-driven small-batch production. The new name and packaging celebrate provenance and the personalities behind the beans, while preserving the company's Seattle roots and commitment to quality. Highlights Six thoughtfully curated samples showcasing a range of cacao percentages and origins. Strong preference for the dark chocolate line -- nuanced, well-balanced, and memorable. Informative, engaging guide and a concise, behind-the-scenes look at production. Friendly tasting pace that allowed time to savor each piece and ask questions. If you appreciate chocolate craftsmanship and want a guided tasting that balances technique with flavor exploration, Maeve Chocolate's tour is worth it.

Our daughter lives near the Lake Stevens, Wa Haagen's Grocery and purchased some Old Town Salted…read moreCaramels just before a visit from family last month. Knowing her mother (that's me) is a fan of caramel, she showed me the small bag explaining "they're really expensive". As they might be if homemade, these caramels are wrapped in parchment, twisted on each end and come 12 per sweet little bag for $20 (roughly). Because they're large (about 3/4"x1"x2", I had one, shared a second and the hook was thoroughly set. OMG these are exceptional. The quality is silly-good. I drove 350 miles home from our visit and looked online to learn how to get my hands on MORE. My location in remote NE Wa State proved a caramel desert so I ordered one bag of twelve and with shipping and tax the cost was $33. Yes, it was a plunk but they are worth it for a treat of such quality. I imagined sharing with friends lucky enough to drop by. The Sea Salt caramels shipped quickly and with USPS tracking info I followed their route. "They're in Kent!!" I told my husband; then "they're in Spokane!!" and when I knew the delivery was imminent I watched for Kathy our rural letter carrier. A thoughtful person, Kathy came down the 600' driveway because the parcel was marked that it should be protected from heat. I was riding the lawn tractor but raced over to catch Kathy and opened the box to offer her one. She was reluctant but I told her, "they're the best caramels I've ever eaten" so she took one and continued her route. Upon further investigation of the box I noticed a bonus package of six regular vs sea salt caramels. An unanticipated kindness. Averaging three per day I plowed through all (18-Kathy's) caramels in record time. My husband enjoyed them as much but he's a better wrangler of his own impulse control. He had two per day at most. My last day was a record FOUR. Here's the thing: I'll be seventy by year's end and am an accomplished baker and have made caramels myself. I'm not a substance abuser; am HWP and eat an organic menu. This gluttony is unusual for sure. But they're that dang good! A lesson was learned, but not the lesson one might expect. It's this: I won't bother making caramels again. Thank you Old Town Delights for such a lovely confection.

Birthday cookies are the best cookies, and everything I got was exactly what I expected. Crumbl has…read morea very specific taste -- you always know it's a Crumbl cookie -- and these definitely delivered. Everything was fresh, sweet, and good. That said, I was honestly confused by the staffing situation. When I was there, there was only one employee working, despite a steady influx of orders. To be clear, he was absolutely killing it -- moving fast, staying organized, and doing the best he could. But I really don't understand why any retail store would schedule just one person. It's overwhelming for the employee and, frankly, feels like a safety concern. As far as the cookies themselves, no complaints at all -- they were great. I mainly stopped in because it was my birthday (and a free cookie obviously justifies additional purchases ). I would definitely come back for another sweet treat. Hopefully management gives the staff a little more support going forward, because the product is solid and the employees clearly care.

They put the cookie in the cutest small pink box and showed me the cookie in its new home before handing it to me.

Today, I purchased a small cake, I didn't order it ahead of time but they had a variety to choose from. It was 3 leches with strawberry filling and may I say, it was delicious. Not too sweet, not too dry, it was just right. The price for the small cake was $25, for me the price was not bad at all especially being 3 leches. They also have birthday candles. The service was very welcoming. I will definitely return back to this bakery.

There was a line of people waiting, but I was eyeing the chocolate cake. I decided to come back after exploring the rest of the market and then check to see if the line got shorter. It did, but my cake was gone!!! They literally only had 3-4 items available by the time I came back ... I ended up getting the rhubarb cake and the concha. The cake was probably one of the best cakes I had, it was moist, not too sweet and delicious. It also stayed delicious the day after. For $12 a slice it was also a pretty big cake. Definitely want to try their other flavors. The concha was also really good. My boys devoured that one. I managed to grab a bite to try before they finished that one off. I love the crunchy top and the soft bottom. The guys are really nice too. They were socializing and trying to get to know the people. Definitely will be looking out for them again next time I'm in the area
