They sell them in prepackaged 8 oz bags of discs for $20. This may sound expensive, but for this quality of chocolate, it's worth it. The chocolate has a depth of flavor and a little goes a long way. one or two of the discs and your craving is satisfied. The retail section also has single origin chocolate bars from Ecuador and Peru, drinking chocolate, beautiful bars peppered with various add ons, chocolate covered hazelnuts and more. All packaged beautifully - perfect hostess or just because gifts! Woodblock has designed a beautiful space. Inside, when you enter, there are tables and chairs for those that want to enjoy chocolate, tea or coffee beverages and snacks there. Further back is the Counter that offers bakery items like chocolate chip cookies, savory cheddar & jalapeño scones, croissants and muffins. They have a variety of drinks which of course includes hot cocoa! But also matcha lattes, mocha's. Chai lattes and chocolate sodas To name a few. Located one door down from NE Broadway on NE 17th, It's worth stopping in! Sure, you can buy their chocolates at several retail places around Portland, but here, you can enjoy fresh pastries and chocolate drinks and purchase goodies to go.

I loved having my chocolate drink in a small, espresso like cup. The whipped cream was so decadent. Drinking the chocolate with a little spoon was perfectly marvelous. My friend appeared to enjoy his soda. The space is wide open, comfortable, with plenty of seating. This little business is located in a part of town called Irvington. It's on the street parking, and I can take you a few blocks to find a spot. Do not let that deter you. This place is a hidden gym.

Yes dark, natural cacao is good for you (and me) but as hard as I tried, to find a bar over the…read moreyears, it was not palatable. Until..... Until I was driving cross country and took a single square of a new bar I purchased in Wisconsin. Unknowingly and with no meaningful expectation, I literally did a triple take after my first bite. I was completely satisfied in both flavor sensation and satiation. My next day as I drove Iowa, I reached in my cooler, my hand touching and searching blindly for the square bar. "Ahhh" my hand, as with a smile, happily retrieved the divine cocoa. Carefully and joyfully I opened the package and took another square, the second from this bar. Again I had the same experience of natural, dark, pleasure balanced with coconut oil. I think I even had the experience of a very slight brownie texture. In silence, I acknowledged the the fanciful find. Driving through South Dakota, my secret manna chocolate bar was only half eaten. Again I had another square, and like a sommelier, I noticed the flavors subtly dance across my tongue. It wasn't until Wyoming, that I reached the last square. In a combination of great appreciation and dismay, I stopped my car. My last square. "What is this chocolate? Who makes it and where?" I read aloud, "Honey Mama's in Portland, Oregon". Unbelievable my destination! Since that day in the Wyoming desert in August 2020, I have purchased almost every flavor of Honey Mama's. I have brought them as gifts to friends and family. I keep them in the fridge and an extra bar by my bed. I talk up the bar at Whole Foods. During a recent visit to WF the bagger said, "Have you tried the Ginger Cardamon? Oh my gosh she said, you would never think these two spices would be so complementary." Be assured I have tried it more than once and 5 stars. Try the Peruvian raw cacao with a healthy kick of antioxidants. And as I write today I learned of a limited edition, new flavor, cherry hazelnut. For those who don't know, Oregon is famous for hazelnuts. This hometown chocolatier definitely knows. Can't wait to savor it. (But alas, it's sold out. I expect I might find on eBay for $100. If Honey Mamas reads this please make more.) PS - I have an idea for another special flavor. Do you?

This chocolate is so good that it has pretty much spoiled me for any other chocolate. I've only had the Peruvian Raw because I love it so much and I'm a creature of habitat. Although, I'm sure the other flavors are just as good. Rich, creamy, melt in your mouth goodness.

I read up on their website, it's been around since the 30's! Someone took over the company and kept it alive, and is now sharing it with the US. The first store in the whole country... oh yeah, PDX! We bought three items, but two are gifts.... Very sad I don't get to try them. One is pistachio. They have more dark chocolate options, with some milk. Oh, just remembered, they have one truffle made with parm!! What?? We tried the milk chocolate hazelnut bar. They did a great job on the packaging, with the color scheme and non-shiny paper, very upscale clean look. First things first though: the space is great with nice large windows, everything organized along the walls. The lady there is authentic Italian, how cool. She was very friendly, and explained everything to us, what they offer, where it comes from. All ingredients for the chocolate are from Italy. I think she said the chocolate is from Ecuador, and the coffee is Ethiopian. They have a map, and you can see all the areas where the items are grown and where it is made. We have to come back and try more items. The milk chocolate bar was very smooth, and subtle flavor. I know they have bonbons and truffles, coated nuts, coffee beans, peels including bergamot, and chocolate pencils. Something else nice, they have a glass case where you can buy single bonbons. You aren't stuck buying a whole box. A great way to test out flavors and find what you like. We almost went back to buy more but had places to go. I'm wondering if they will have large easter eggs, that apparently is what the brand was famous for. We will see. Glad they chose PDX, welcome!

First time at Hurry Back, and I'll be back!…read more I had the cheesecake and the mandarin orange chocolate. The mandarin was just the perfect amount paired with the chocolate, and I loved that the cheesecake was JUST cheesecake, not cheesecake and fruit. Both delicious. My wife had lemon poppy seed and French Roast. The lemon poppy was very refreshing, and not too tart. I didn't try the French Roast (I'm not a coffee ice cream guy) but she LOVED it. Brought home a pint of Dark Cherry Chocolate, and to be honest I'll probably finish that tonight. Delicious, and the people were so friendly and accommodating. Samples available! And the other food trucks in the lot were great too!

We got the double size with orange blossom and Banana Cream Pie but it was difficult to choose as the Grasshopper was very good also. They serve it in compostable bowls of you go the bowl route but they have cones too. Worthy of a stop for sure! Every batch is made right there so it's pretty fresh!
