The quality of the chocolate is exceptional! I particularly love the dark chocolate salt & nibs, which gives the discs a bit of crunch. 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. read more

It's amazing to be in a location where the chocolate drink is made from a bean. All the machines are right in the facility as well as some antique ones they give the place a real sense of authenticity and charm. 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. read more

Today I decided to be REALLY impractical and drive across the East side to Woodblock for my coffee. My last cappuccino from there was so good, my 12 year old son kept stealing it! He doesn't drink much coffee, but after Italy, he knows when it is a good drink. This is located inside a chocolate factory - none other than Woodblock, the best of the best. Now they've added SUPER delicious baked goods! Last time we got their chocolate chip cookie that is finished with a big slice of woodblock milk chocolate in the center. I also got a mini cinnamon roll, and for me, the cheese puff. The cheese puff is the combination of a popover and the best of alpine cheeses. I always end up getting a special bar or two for a host gift or just for my sons. The space is beautiful - high ceilings, lots of light and wood. I have two teen boys, so I spend PAINFUL amounts of time in the car shuttling them, delivering stuff to them. I will choose that drive for a Woodblock morning! read more

One of Portland's oldest bean-to-bar chocolate makers, it's worth a visit. The space is industrial and somewhat cold. The seating space is small and feels a bit like an afterthought. They have large windows that let you see the chocolate making in progress. Woodblock has always been okay, good but not the best chocolate maker in the city. They've been around for some time, though, and that's a good thing. Worth a visit. read more

Really great little gem. Try the drinking chocolate, it's small but yum. Got to talk with the owner and he was a really nice guy. Gave us some samples of stuff he was just trying out. This seemed like Willy Wonka for adults. Would definitely recommend. Super cozy too, I could totally see myself just coming in for a coffee and a treat read more

If you are in the mood for a little but not too sweet of a treat I reccomend their sipping chocolate! The sizes is small at 3oz.. smaller than the other chocolate places but the quality is top notch. You get the fruity notes of the chocolate up front. read more

Totally delicious. Came in close to closing time on a Sunday. The bakery was sold out of a number of items, but we were still able to try this super decadent, yummy chocolate tart. We also stocked up on tons of chocolate, which we're excited to try. They have nice tea, too. You can see the factory space through the windows of the cafe, which is pretty neat, even when the floor isn't in action. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday to to grab a few bars to try. The place was empty when we were there but they had all of their variety's on display to choose from. The guy working was nice and promptly rang us up. We tried milk, dark milk, dark, and Madagascar single origin bars as well as the dark chocolate bar with coconut and almonds. The bars were really good overall. The milk was just okay. I don't usually like milk chocolate so that's not a huge surprise but my partner does and wasn't a big fan. The dark milk and dark chocolate bars were very good though. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you like dark chocolate! The small bars are the perfect size and reasonably priced. read more

Came in early after they opened with my family and got coffee. We were just getting seated and the batista came over and said they had a noose policy and asked us to go outside. Though there was not room for 4 of us there. There was literally no one else sitting inside. My kids were excited , not crying , yelling or running around d and not even sitting down with our drinks yet. Not a great first impression. The mocha is fine but not something g I would male a trip for. A few ko d words would have gone a long way. read more

This was a cute place. I stopped in for some chocolate bars. Staff was friendly and street parking was easy. No complaints.

Came in to try some quality chocolate. Got a milk chocolate bar and a dark chocolate bar - both of which were really good. They were $5 each, which is steep but you get what you pay for. The interior of the shop was nice, very white, and attractive. I also liked how they painted the vintage exterior. Staff were friendly. Enjoyed the quick trip! read more

Artisan bean-to-bar chocolate made in-house! I love watching the chocolate in production and bought 3 bars of chocolate! The Mocha hit the spot with 70% Dark Chocolate from Tanzania, so tasty that I bought a bar! After sampling the smooth and decadent Madagascar 70% chocolate, I bought a bar of it along with another bar which was a combination from Ecuador and Peru. Although it's hard to decipher the subtle difference in taste between the different origins, the beans have a slightly different flavor. read more

On a recent trip, I patronized a variety of chocolate shops in several states, and each had great qualities, but Woodblock wins as the whole package. The store itself is stunning: High ceilinged, bright and white, though not sterile, with plenty of seating (even a bistro table outdoors), and a glassy view into the manufacturing area. Samples were plentiful and generously given, even when I ended up trying nearly every single product. And they are not limited to the (admittedly spectacular) chocolate bars. Woodblock also has truffles, baked goodies, coffee, drinking chocolate, and even straight cacao beans! Branding is on point, packaging is gorgeous, and I adore the small size of the bars. Lastly, prices are reasonable, and the employee working was entirely charming. As I said, I tried nearly everything. The coolest was their "resting" chocolate: mendiants jarred with either mint, hops, or coffee beans, thus soaking up the flavor of their companions in a slightly more than subtle manner that still allowed the craft chocolate to shine through. This is also special because you can buy their bars other places, but I am quite sure this is the only spot you can get that particular treat. My other favorites included the olive oil sea salt truffles (quite dark and borderline bitter, but mildly sweet with a fantastic rich ganache-y filling), and of the bars I especially adored Salt & Nibs, Toasted Sesame, and the Peru and Madagascar single origins. My husband had a latte, which he approved of (he does not get all that excited about chocolate-bah!). Portland in particular is home to a variety of chocolate-related businesses. In an ideal world, you would go to every single one, but if you do not have that option, make sure Woodblock tops the list of must-visits. read more

Nice staff. Very informative. The chocolate smells amazing. The parking is street. The wine tasting was fun. Overall, the location is worth a visit if you enjoy different chocolates. The milk chocolate and coffee chocolate were the two I was able to finish. The chocolate drink was $5 and came with whipped cream. Very rich in taste. This was definitely a quick experience. read more

I came here specifically for the sipping chocolate and left happy. It was nice to know that all the chocolate here is made on site. Visitors can enjoy watching the process the cacao goes through before it is transformed into a chocolate treat which can been observed through one of their many viewing windows. There was a good selection of chocolate items for purchase at the counter. They also offer wine and chocolate tastings which makes for a unique experience. read more

The drinking chocolate is super dark chocolate, I ordered a cookie to eat with it and it balanced it out! The ambience is amazing and it wasn't busy at all. The service was also great!

I wanted to try some different chocolate shops in Portland and came across these guys. I believe Salt and Straw uses some of their chocolates in their ice cream. The shop is pretty small. It looks like they make the chocolate there and have a little retail spot for customers. The service is superb! The individual took time to explain to me the different assortments and also offered many samples! She was also very patient with me as I did not know what to get. They don't have your typical chocolate pieces, but more in shape of bars. Also the prices are very reasonable. read more

Woodblock chocolates is a special place in Portland that makes some super high quality chocolates. I ordered boxes of 10 assorted chocolates (samplers) to give as gifts to my clients. The gifts arrived as beautifully and artfully packaged as the chocolates themselves. If you're looking for something that makes a nice gift that isn't made in some giant factory, but made carefully and with pride by artisans, or if you just love fine chocolates, I highly recommend Woodblock Chocolates. If you by chance own a cafe, bookstore or confectionary (Gelato comes to mind), consider putting these out on your counter to sell. I bet they'll be snapped up. My buying experience was easy, the package arrived promptly, and every item in it was perfect. I will be returning here, and plan to stop by Woodblock's manufactory next time we're in Portland for some treats. I can smell those hand picked chocolate beans roasting now! Shout out to Woodblock Chocolate! read more

Had to check out this place because thy supply chocolate to Stumptown and Salt and Straw. A super friendly gal gave us a tasting. She told us that it was originally one of 9 places that make chocolate from bean to block. The market has grown and now there's about 50 in the U.S. Chocolate is made on site in small batches. Except for the milk chocolate, only sugar and cacao beans are used. No lechtins or additives. read more

I took a Lyft all the way into Portland just to try this place. I was not disappointed! Chocolate bars are small but reasonably priced at just $4 per bar. The olive oil truffle is NOT to be missed. It is insanely smooth. The dark chocolate borders on being bitter but is pulled back by the smoothness of the ganache, which has such an incredible mouthfeel. Coffee was good, service was pleasant and the atmosphere was really cool. Loved seeing all the equipment on display. Would've loved to watch their process! Of the three bars I purchased (toasted sesame, dark milk, and coffee milk), coffee milk is my favorite so far. I haven't gotten a chance to dig into my dark milk bar yet! Really enjoyed my visit to this shop and would recommend for fellow chocolate lovers. read more

Two workers were very friendly and took a lot of time to answer a ton of questions I had. This is the first bean to bar chocolatier in Portland. Salt and Straw uses their chocolate in their ice cream, even for out of state locations. One of the workers was the pastry chef at Le Pigeon before working at Woodblock. He pointed me towards Reel M Inn for fried chicken, which was an awesome spot. He also said I should try Little T, where I went, and Le Pigeon or Little Bird which I haven't tried yet. I liked the fruity chocolates, Peruvian and the Madagascar flavors. I bought some of each, and some dark milk chocolate too, as snacks for myself and gifts for my family. Check them out!!! read more

Woodblock Chocolate specializes in bean to bar, single origin, two ingredient chocolate. The shop is rustic, cozy and offer a great glimpse into their manufactory.

I could easily eat my weight in them. read more

The Eastside has long lacked a true public chocolate making facility. Woodblock is combining their chocolate making space with a café that serves up thick single origin drinking chocolate and other experimental chocolate treats. I've been here twice and tried a litany of experiments including a cacao juice soda (like a ginger ale), top notch chocolate chip cookie, a wonderful hot cocoa, and a delicious chocolate pudding that is not on the menu yet. Woodblock takes a lot of pride in their single origin Tanzanian chocolate. It has a grassy, earthy flavor that may turn some people off, but curious chocoholics will love the experiments they're doing here. It looks like they are also gearing up to offer some kind of ice cream and I overheard the staff talking about other experiments. This place is the natural progression of Portland's incredibly strong food scene expanding further east. I'm excited that Woodblock is expanding beyond wholesale into retail. I look forward to seeing what this space comes up with. read more

Phenomenal experience here. The chocolate including drinking chocolate and the single origin bars were excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful.

LOVE this chocolate. My husband brought it back for me as a surprise from Portland and said going to the place was a cool experience as well. Each bar is so well packaged (by hand), it really feels like a special treat when you open one. We got a variety box and everything was top notch delicious! My husband and I especially enjoyed doing the taste tests of the three different single source cocoa bars. They were all so different and interesting! What are you waiting for?

This is such a great, authentic place! Love the chocolate here, and easy to talk to owner, loves to take chocolate!!

What an adorable chocolate maker store! Let's be clear, there's a difference between a chocolatier and a chocolate maker. Woodblock is the latter, which means they source the beans and make the chocolate. A chocolatier is someone who already works with chocolate and turns it into other chocolate goods (like truffles, bonbons, etc). This store is right on the corner of Oak St and SE 13th Ave, you can't miss it! As soon as you walk inside you are welcomed by a friendly worker and the wonderful smell of chocolate. Most of the store space is set up for the chocolate making, but they have a lovely little corner set up with all the goods they sell. There's a long wooden table with all their different chocolate bars and samples to taste said chocolates. All of their chocolate is lovely! It really depends on what kinda you like. They have several dark chocolates that are single origin, and a few blends. They have a dark milk chocolate and some flavored chocolate bars. I got a taste them all and they are all amazing! The texture is perfectly smooth and creamy (as good chocolate should be) and you can really taste the different flavors coming from the chocolate grown in different countries. Some are bright and fruity, some more earth and soft...so wonderfully fun to give them all a taste and decide your favorite! They have a bag called "Salty Seconds" which is crushed up bars that either broke or ended up being underweight. They sell 8 oz for $10, which mean you're getting about 4 bars worth for a lot cheaper! Thankfully they sell their chocolate online too, so if you don't live in Portland you can still get this yummy chocolate! read more

Awesome place to stop by in Portland. Small place for visitors to check out (the rest of the store is dedicated to chocolate making) but definitely a memorable one. The staff is really knowledgable about chocolate and enlightens the visitors on how chocolate is made! They also have beanies and t-shirts for sale along with the chocolates. read more

This was our last stop before heading to the airport to go home. When we got there, we were bummed that it was closed. Then we happened upon the owner, Charlie who when asked, "Are you open?" to our surprise, responded with, " for you we are!" Charlie proceeded to give us samples of all different chocolates and explained where each chocolate was from so we could experience how chocolates from different areas-- Madagascar, Peru, Equador- taste. He explained that their chocolates are made from bean and sugar and how the cocoa butter, bean fermentation process and drying process affects the texture and flavor. Charlie's excitement to share his love of chocolate with everyone around him is infectious and it was so fun to visit! The new location on Broadway and 17th opens next week. We highly recommend!!! read more
