Tea & Chocolate

~ a lovely way to spend an afternoon… 

In addition to being a retail chocolate shop, we also have a few cozy seats where you can enjoy your selections right here in the shop. 

Paired with a cup of hot tea, our chocolates and all the details throughout the space are sure to create a memorable experience.  

In the spring, once the weather warms and the garden fills in, you can enjoy a cup of tea and some chocolates while visiting with the plants and their pollinators. Common visitors to our garden are hummingbirds, bumblebees, praying mantis, the rare sphinx moth, and more.

Our garden this year was designed and planted by Stephanie Barelman, founder of the Bellevue Native Plant Society. She also designed our pollinator garden on the hill below the patio.
