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.

Very interesting and unique flavors. I went for the collaboration with Dungeon Crawler Carl, which was amazing. Not only was there a special chocolate bar that they had for the collab but they also had a corner decorated in the theme of the book and stickers of characters from the book. It was fantastic. Parking is pretty easy in this area. There is some parallel parking by the front door and a parking lot nearby. I'll definitely have to come back for a tour.

Chocolate making is about 50% science and 50% magic. What also stood out was the heart behind the company. Maeve is 100% women owned, with a workforce made up of approximately 75% women. Their chocolate is organic, gluten free, ethically sourced, and carbon neutral. They also donate 10% of net profits back to cocoa farmers. Love the mission! It felt like one of those places I would enjoy working, and I would really enjoy meeting Jean, the CEO and owner. Grateful to John for scheduling my tour and to Denise for such a welcoming and informative experience. Definitely worth visiting -try the Roasted Peruvian Cocoa Nibs.

Maeve Chocolates is a woman-owned business. I also believe about 75% of their employees are women. That is amazing! There is so much warmth and culture from this company.

Not only did Sara give us delicious samples, she gave us info on various products, especially on the graduation cap box (so cute). She wasn't pushy, she just let us browse so we took our time.

My son loves their butterscotch & chocolate lollipops. In all the years that I've visited See's, Sara provided the best customer service ever!

I'm obsessed with Maeve Chocolate, especially since their recent rebrand from the beloved "Seattle…read moreChocolates" brand. Their new look is vibrant and female-forward with lots of bright, feminine colors - something they did intentionally to solidify themselves as a women-owned local biz. And their chocolate?! Creamy, smooth, and delish. I always like to grab a few bars to take with me on biz trips to give out to colleagues. Fave flavors include blackberry and (of course) their iconic Pike Place coffee flavored bars. At this adorable little airport stop, they offer everything from chocolate by the pound to single bars to their always-tempting multi-bar packs. Next time you're at SEA, don't miss Maeve!

It srsly comes straight from the cow or something because it is so freaking fresh!! When I buy Maeve in the store elsewhere it is a letdown because it does not taste as good and fresh as from this location. All the flavors are just great. I can get great gifts here, or just get the 'stuff your own box' and take it home to my family.

Used to regularly get coffee here, though, as well as some good wines that might not be available otherwise, such as sangrias. This time we went in looking for a smallish bag; didn't have any luck there but were thrilled to browse the post-holiday sales and got an AMAZING deal on some candlestick holders. In general, had fun browsing. Always adore the Asian-influenced furniture here. So gorgeous. This time there were some beautiful cabinets carved with peacocks. Staff was friendly.
