    Olympia is lucky to have these two twins, one a tea shop and one a craft chocolate shop. Both have extensive and superb curated offerings. I visited the chocolate side and was impressed. As one of the judges for the International Chocolate Awards (https://www.internationalchocolateawards.com) and a chocolate taster (https://www.instagram.com/eglazener), I can tell you they have a nice selection of some great craft chocolates. Worth a visit. And another. And another...

    The wonderful wall of tea!

    What a wonderful set of stores right in the heart of Olympia - something for every tea and chocolate lover's delight! We heard about Encore through a local cafe. There is a type of tea that they carry that my wife absolutely loves. I asked where they got it and they started raving about Encore. I took a visit there the other day in hunt for Valentine's Day goodies and was hard-pressed not to buy a little bit (or a lot bit) of everything! On one side of the inside, central hallway you'll find their chocolate store. They have a vast array of local and mass produced chocolates. Any type of flavor you can think of, they have. On the other side of the hallway you'll enter their tea store. A huge selection of both loose-leaf and bag teas will fill you senses with enjoyment. We got the Dragon Pearls and can't wait to make out first pot of it. We will definitely be back for more, as we are tea lovers and they have some blends that totally have caught my eye. Friendly service, easy to browse and find what you need, and a great experience will greet you as soon as you enter Encore Chocolates and Teas. You'll want to keep coming back for more. I know we do!

    These are some of their black teas. ALL teas come with descriptions of flavor and how to brew.

    I came in on Saturday afternoon to pick up my tea staples-the Olympia Summer is one of my very favorites. Their chocolate shop is wonderful too-you can find a range of chocolates and sweets from under $1.00 to much more than that. Encore is fantastic! I love their teas, sweets and their staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They are one of my favorite stops in Downtown Olympia!

    I was blessed by the presence of a man who has experienced over 500 chocolates. If only I could get paid to do that. Luxury chocolate is never to be munched on. It's to be melted on your tongue as the flavors disperse while you savor and contemplate its essence. I went with the chocolate connoisseur's favorite dark and dark-milk. Smooth, creamy, and flavorful. The 75% Brazil Dick Taylor is wicked. Crafted in NorCal. Strong cocoa bean flavor with fruity and nutty undertones of honeysuckle, grape, and walnut. The 60% Ecuador Pump Street is decadent. Made in the UK. Soft bittersweet balance with subtle undertones of milk. I recommend the Brazil any day, but if you're not a true dark chocolate fan, you'll be happy with the Ecuador.

    If you like chocolate from all over the world, this is your spot! Very educated on chocolate and new items constantly coming in.

    Huge selection of loose teas.

    I love all the options they offer for teas and chocolates. The tea sections are extensive, from Black, Green, Herbal, Matcha, ect and even tea accessories. They were also very affordable. The location is also unique, with an indoor tree under a huge skylight. They also have a second store with all the local chocolates and honey. They offer Seattle Chocolates and more options for local and unique flavors. My favorite was Pink Bubbly by Seattle Chocolate. Dark chocolate with raspberry cream and pink poprocks to resemble to bubbles of champagne. I was curious and it was actually my absolute favorite. Staff were also friendly and helpful.

    It's so nice to have a real tea store in Oly. The Tea Lady is sorely missed. This shop caters more to loose teas than did the TL and, therefore, the global variety is more limited. But very high quality! They also offer tea pots and specialty tea steeping goods. I've not tried the chocolates (will power!!) but there is a large selection of gourmet chocolates. Since this store opened, they've taken over the tea/coffee stand in the enclosed court yard and are serving the teas they sell. Why not a 5th star? Downtown Olympia is a bugger for parking and over-burdened with street vagrants to weed through.

    They have high quality tea but it's pricey and you can't return anything, even unopened items

    Do they have parking?

    Street parking is pretty decent to find there - you have to pay the meter

    Stopped here in the late afternoon to try a few treats. I'm a huge blueberry Danish fan and there…read morewas one left so I got it along with a chocolate macaroon. The danish was serviceable but wasn't anything special. Could be because it was later in the day so it wasn't as fresh as ones bought in the morning. The chocolate macaroon was ok, it was soft and flavorful with a thick slab of chocolate on top but similar to the danish in that it was fine, but wasn't the kind of pastry that blew me away or made me feel like I just had to buy it again. I left feeling mostly indifferent. If I come back I'd probably come early in the morning and try something else, or maybe the danish again and see if there's any difference.

    Can I just say this place is amazing? What a gem I found in Olympia on our way to Portland. I'm…read moregoing to make this place a regular stop now. I got a little bit scared when reading all the negative reviews about staff not being friendly and having an attitude. I was bracing myself but we had a wonderful gal serve us and the lines were so long and they were extremely busy that she forgot what iced tea we ordered so she gave us both! A chai iced tea and regular. It was so sweet. Also she forgot our croissant but then later comped us the croissant too! The service was amazing so I don't know who the other reviewers are talking about. Also the food was amazing. We requested the peppercini on the side and they totally accommodated and hooked us up. Our bagel sandwiches looked delish and packed with goodies and the pickle complements well with the bagel sandwiches. I also ordered the lemon meringue tart which was delicious. The salmon lox was also really good but we didn't care for the capers because it made it really sour. I would get it without the capers next time. Overall this place is wonderful and I would definitely come again to try their homemade bread/sandwiches next time! The lines are long for a reason.... It's good stuff! But the lines go relatively quickly. Just make sure you know what you want when it's your turn. Parking is basically street parking. I gave it 4 stars because I think it's a bit pricey but I would pay again because it's worth it.
