This superb cafe and shop, run by a small but passionate team, is a must-visit in Portland. This is the bean-to-bar chocolate maker Sebastian Cisnero, who's been around Portland since 2009 but finally found a permanent place here. It's a bright and inviting space. Get one of the drinking chocolates with the housemade marshmallows. They are all good. (Have coffee if you must, but this is a chocolate maker...they make chocolate from cacao beans in the back.) The chocolate-covered caramel sticks (everything is made in-house) are also a great accompaniment to the drinking chocolate. Just remember, two people (for now) run this entire place, so service may be a bit slow. The wait is worth it (and you need to stop acting privileged by whining about slow service in small businesses). Sebastian is working to restore a couple of antique chocolate-making machines, and you can see them through a portal window. That is going to be an awesome thing to see when they are working. For now, the chocolate-making space is in the back and out of site, but they are making chocolate from scratch back there. And it's the chocolate that's for sale in the space, and that is used in all the products served here. This superb chocolate maker deserves support. And the products he produces are sure to please your palate. (I am an international chocolate awards judge, so this isn't some random opinion.) Go here. Spend some time, Enjoy. read more
