Came here after a few years of absence from hanging out in the Pioneer Square area. I remember before the pandemic they did chocolate tastings which were really fun. I dont think I wrote a review back then. I was walking by today and walked in on a whim (I love chocolate!) The chocolatiers inside help me find a nice chocolate and gave me a little piece of paper on how to taste the chocolate which is useful for this quality of chocolate. I usually eat my candy/chocolate bars like an animal so this was a good reminder to slow down and enjoy the cacao as it slowly melts away in my mouth. Cheers!

Very cool chocolate shop, pricey, but very knowledgeable staff that is very willing to share information and answer questions

I worked with Aaron to make some lavender chocolate for our farm store. Aaron made someOf the best tasting chocolate I’ve ever tasted! Great stuff!

If you love great chocolate. I recommend Intrigue Chocolate Company. Their Pioneer Square store. Has all the goodness of the chocolate factory. AND great owners and staff as well. Grab one of their cool t shirts - I plan to wear mine often.

Awesome place to try exotic chocolate chocolate flavors that come and go with the seasons, including herbal and savory flavors. They have over 300 flavors throughout the year and allow you to taste test them before you buy, which is super fun. And delicious, so hard to pick a favorite!

Had an online tasting with Aaron with my team at work, we all loved the experience, and I highly recommend it. Aaron takes you on a flavorful journey around the world. I was a bit skeptical about doing a tasting online, but boy was I proven wrong. Highly recommended!

We did a virtual chocolate tasting with Aaron and the Intrigue Chocolate Tasting Bar, and it was so fun! Aaron took us through details on the chocolate making process, how to taste chocolate, and then through an engaging session trying a variety of the *delicious* chocolates Intrigue has to offer. This was such a successful virtual team event!

Delightful service. Chocolate is delicate and flavorful. They have a free art tile wall!!!

Delicious! Beautiful bouqitue and very helpful.

As a Chocoholic, am always in search of the best locally owned and operated Chocolate place and INTRIGUE got me good. Meeting the owner Aaron and sampling most of his offerings was and is a fabulous Pallatially Orgasmic experience..wait till I taste the hot chocolate brew...If you are a Chocoholic, a chocolate lover, or Intrigued (double entendre) , do yourself a favor and get to Intrigue Chicolate either by King Station or up in Capitol Hill... Chocolate Heaven..The also ship across the US..

Such a special place in Pioneer Square. Unique, nice variety of delightfully unusual chocolates, and a very knowledgeable and friendly staff/owners. A must visit.

This is a great place that has high quality chocolate truffles with interesting flavor combinations. They also have great hot cocoa and other chocolate related items. They also have a cool photo wall as you walk in and you can take a photo for free but a 3 dollar donation is encouraged.

This place is so cute! the idea of getting a character in the form of ice cream is such a cute idea. the couple times Ive been here the line wasnt too long.

Great way to indulge! Chocolate lover paradise!

5 stars forever!!! My visit to intrigue was a total case of serendipity. I was simply walking around the streets of Seattle when I chanced upon this charming chocolate shop.Intrigue differs from other chocolate stores by intricately infusing the wonders of science to the delicacy of chocolate. I particularly enjoyed the customer service, which unequivocally supplemented the experience of tasting and buying truffles! If its your first time in this shop, feel free to ask for the truffle flight taste.Good job!!!

These folks are so happy to see you walk in. Ready to sample chocolate, they know everything about every origin and ingredient. The sipping chocolate is amazing!

Good chocolate! Would love to go again!!

Chocolatey.....yes its good

The mouth watering chocolate made me feel like a mystical magic chocolate bunny came in my mouth and I loved every last bit. To die for. So unique. Will literally ask for a bar of their chocolate to be placed on my chest when Im dead to be buried with.

Absolutely lovely! Wandered in here on accident a few weeks ago and got a drink sample and HAD to come back with a chocolate loving friend.The woman working the shop was super friendly and the chocolate tasting was great! Dont be disappointed by the small sizes of the truffles youre tasting, they are very rich and you get a Lot of flavor.I love that the chocolates are made there, I love the drinks (had the sipping chocolate and whipped cream and it was heavenly!!), I love their photo block wall (we left a donation and took a block, Im planning on tagging Intrigue in some photos on instagram and seeing if they use them!!).I just wish there were more stools to sit at to enjoy the drinks but it is a pretty small shop.

One of the greatest gourmet chocolate stores in all of Seattle. If you like truffles, you owe it to yourself to swing by here. The flavor combinations are so totally unique that Id be amazed if you have seen them anywhere else. I love love LOVE this place.

Amazing place!

On my first visit, we were greeted by two friendly and knowledgeable staff, a truffle tasting, and a case full of truffles. On my more recent visit, the lone staffer didn’t seem confident about the allergy-free nature of the brand (the whole reason I came) and informed me that they would no longer be making their signature truffles.

This is the best chocolate humans have made. Try it. They are always coming up with wildly inventive new flavor combinations in addition to their incredible single-origin chocolates. Really. Go now.

This place is amazing and the chef/owner was very nice and very knowledgeable. We happened upon the ship and went in for a tasting. We ended up buying a few things, and he even put them in a small insulated bag with a tiny ice pack since we were walking around all day. We really enjoyed the experience and meeting him

This tiny shop has such a great atmosphere and warm feeling. It may look small but it is very inviting. The industrial look from the exposed structure, wood grain casework, and matte tiles give this place a rough yet gentle appearance. Aaron and Karl are wonderful, kind, and helpful. If you want to give your taste buds an awesome experience try the sample truffles. The cold brew coffee is a great choice for those who dont like their regular coffee too bitter. The vanilla bean is good as well. I highly recommend any chocolate loves to try this place.

This is a seriously classy chocolatier! So fancy!The service was warm and friendly. I was immediately informed that they are currently offering tastings. This sounded great so I said yes please! He gave me five different samples. I enjoyed them all, but I think my favorite was the Ginger.When it came to purchasing, I deciding to pick something I hadnt tried. One Cardamom and one Toasted Sesame. The truffles are $2 each, but make sure you use your Yelp check-in to get one truffle free.Between the two Cardamom was my favorite as it burst with a little more flavor. But I also might be bias as that is totally my kinda thing!

Intrigue is about the cutest and most authentic chocolate workshop I have ever visited - and I am from France. Their truffles are amazing, so many surprising flavors and subtle balancing, a journey for your taste buds. TIPS: try eating some closing your eyes and trying to guess whats in it! The workers are very nice and super knowledgeable, and its just a pleasure altogether. Thank you for sharing your art and the passion for chocolate!

Delicious dark chocolate. You should definitely try the honey caramel square.

SALT WATER TAFFY! Check out all the kinds of taffy. I never knew there were so many flavors.

My husband and I encountered Intrigue Chocolate Co. at a fundraiser we attended; they were providing samples and selling truffles and beans (and donating a percentage of the proceeds to the nonprofit hosting the fundraiser.)This is the best chocolate Ive ever eaten, and Im in deep mourning for the truffle we purchased to take home. Why did we only buy one? Why?Would love to check out their facility in Pioneer Square. The gentleman at the fundraiser was terrific, knowledgeable and friendly.I wish I was still eating that truffle.

Their chocolate and hot chocolate are SO GOOD! They have their kitchen right there in the store and you can see a selection of their flavor ingredients. I really love this place. The staff is also super friendly and they let you do a tasting for free before purchase! Its a lovely little shop. I found out the owner used to be a botanist too. :)

Words like exquisite and divine fail to do justice to the ambrosial delights that can be found here. Their lavender soda (available French or Italian style) is a favorite of mine, especially on stressful days. For first-time visitors, I highly recommend the Basil truffle.

Such an incredible chocolate shop. They produce in small batches and you can taste the difference. I highly reccommend the lavender hot chocolate and the cranberry truffle!! Oh my goodness! No seating and small shop, but the folks their have so much knowledge it is worth standing around to hear their chocolate stories

Really great selection of proprietary hot chocolate recipes: including cardamom, cinnamon, mint, vanilla, Jamaican (a spicy blend) and lavender. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great place for a treat!

Intrigue Chocolate has awesome truffles. It is in Pioneer Square near my work, I went with a friend after work. The truffles have unique flavors and are a must try for chocolate lovers. Their Mocha is awesome!

Interesting and unique flavors. They do free tasting if you havent been there before. A really lovely shop with great workers!

They do amazing private events here! The owner chooses truffles and wine pairings for tasting and throws in fun stories and tips on how to get the most out of the tastings. Their truffles are also excellent gifts.

Their 12-piece truffle box is a great gift idea that really impresses. If you have a client you want to thrill, try giving them one of these boxes.

Crissy at Intrigue is such a warm, friendly employee who curated a delicious sampling. She had raving rewiews about the owners of this business. Obviously a good company and place to work. I recommend the cold brew and mocha nib truffle together.

This place is amazing! Definitely a must try. I had their dark chocolate marshmallow. Perfect texture & chocolate to marshmallow ratio. Going to try there cassis paté de fruit next.

This is literally the only chocolatier I visit when I come to Seattle! Love it! And their flavors are always so fun and fresh, it’s easy to try something new each time you visit!

The chocolates are ok though Im not a fan of gritty texture. Nothing really amazing, nothing really negative. Limited appeal overall.

Very disappointing that the truffles have been eliminated. These were Intrigues finest product, by far. They melted in your mouth like a pat of butter. The broken slab chocolates I sampled today (5 or 6 flavors) were all dry, crumbly, and unimpressive. Furthermore, I was told yesterday by their coffeehouse location on 15th that theyd be making the truffles by special order one last time for the holidays and to keep an eye on the website, but the Pioneer Square location today said that was incorrect after checking directly with the owner. :-/. Mo more truffles at all, ever. Also I was told by the coffeehouse location the stamp cards would be accepted thru the end of November and the Pioneer location said until year end, so it seems there is different information either being provided or understood by these 2 locations, which is confusing for customers. In my opinion, Intrigue needs to find a way to produce the truffles in the spaces they have remaining or acquire another. I personally wont have much drive to return until then.

Very friendly and experienced staff. Great place to go.

Oh I love these kinda hidden spots that have great food - in this case amazing chocolate. Behind a very unpretentious door you will find chocolate heaven. Just walk up the steps - turn left and you are in for a real treat.

The chocolates have their own flavor and are very delicious. The package is stylish but not ridiculous. It might be a good present and a sweet dessert for beloved ones.

Staff was great and we were lucky enough to meet the owner and mastermind behind all the incredible chocolate creations. Warmed nitro cold brew was a revelation! So delicious!

We had so much fun tasting the truffles and chocolate bars. Service was amazing and everything was delicious!

You wont have a better experience at any other chocolate shop for tasting and education. Highly recommend!

Intrigue Chocolate is awesome! A Pioneer Square staple. Their flavors are really creative, the service is interested and engaging, and its a cool concept. Try the rosemary, blackberry honey, and alderwood smoked sea salt chocolate bar. YUM!

Fun store with interesting layout. Both kids and adults would like it. It has a wide variety to choose from that you may not typically see.

I love this place. The chocolate is amazing and the flavors are so unique. Keep coming back to them and bringing friends!

Staff was very helpful in picking out gifts. Chocolate combinations were unusual and good!

Loved the chocolate tasting and tea palate cleanser. Ended up treating ourselves to a bon bon and bar to take home. This place is the real deal!

This place is a treasure. I cant be convinced to buy anything but their amazing bourbon vanilla chocolates, but they let me try a few other flavors just because theyre nice.

7/10 6:00 pm Im of minority status (trans). I walked into the store and was not greeted. I walked up to the counter and smiled at the server, still no response. I walked to a section of the counter closer to her waved and said hi, she snareled ill be with you in a moment and went over to other customers without looking at me.I will advise other trans people not to visit this shop now.

I havent had a chocolate from Intrigue that I havent loved, but I might be impartial to Basil. Just saying.Top notch quality and taste from a great local business!

I was on the search for a great place to find chocolate in Seattle, and based off of all the other great Yelp reviews, I came here.It wasnt much of a hassle find the place, but actually getting into the store was a bit... Strange? Alice-in-Wonderland-eqsue, I guess? You have to ring a bell in order to get in. Aaron -- the owner -- greeted me at the door. It was just him in the store. And when I say store, its mostly just a giant space, with 75% of it being an industrial kitchen, which was pretty cool to see.I wasnt sure what I was looking for, so I straight up told him that I wanted to spend $20 on chocolate and he immediately offered for me to sample all of the different chocolate truffles they were currently making. I was absolutely amazed by that. So cool. They make some really crazy flavors, but they all tasted great. Granted chocolate is always good, but such flavors as basel and pineapple were way better than I wouldve imaged.Prices are a bit moderate, but its all artisan chocolate, and most definitely worth it. I asked, and they do allow for hosting private parties, so I definitely want to look into that in the future, especially since they work closely with wineries. Wine and chocolate tasting, please!

Must try! Theyve chocolate tasting! 😀 290 flavours of chocolate. 5 flavours are all year around, rest of them are floating.

We happened upon this spot right before closing time as we wandered the neighborhood. The very friendly staffperson informed us that there was a complimentary tasting. He was so enthusiastic and informative. And the chocolate was amazingly delish. I recommend it!

Some of the best chocolate truffles I have ever had. Tons of different flavors, a free tasting menu and great staff. Pricey though so be careful!

There are lots of chocolate shops. This one is truly unique. After one tasting, I cant get the flavors out of my head.

I came across Intrigue during their first Kickstarter campaign, and Ive stopped by periodically since. Although quite happy for their success, I must admit I do miss the days when the storefront was a hard-to-find nook in what primarily served as their kitchen, and the chocolatier could afford to spend time discussing what he was experimenting with next. Great chocolate and service to match. My wife jokes that a gift of Intrigues chocolate is the reason she married me.

Pure chocolate. Small batch. Their drinking chocolate is to die for and finally a place that makes it without milk or cream🤣 the way its supposed to be!

Delicious and Delightful.Great informative crew.Interesting local art support as well.

I walked in today SO EXCITED to try their products but the customer service was so AWFUL I left upset and empty handed. There’s a lot of great dessert in this area, please don’t waste your time here.The store was completely empty and the staff, Sundos, refused to pause her phone conversation for even one second to greet us. Even after she confirmed the order was placed, she continued the conversation refusing to acknowledge our presence for almost 15 minutes, so we left. I’ve never been so offended by someone who hadn’t said a word to me.Im not sure if it was lack of training, bad manners, or plain prejudice but it is UNACCEPTABLE and greatly disheartening to see similar reviews from minority peoples. People should never leave your store wondering if they’ve been discriminated against. Again, don’t waste your time or money here.

Im not a person for whom chocolate is an essential, but I love stopping in and discovering what wildly different things the folks at Intrigue are doing. Never disappointing.

Lavender chocolate milk is to die for but so is everything else! Great chocolate and great people.

Friendly, with happiness making samples for guest.

Delicious chocolate, great guided tasting as well, definitely worth a visit!

Amazing selection of high quality chocolate products. Lovely location in Pioneer Square.

The most fun stop on the coffee tour we went on. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

The person behind the counter was very friendly and helpful, and my mocha was delicious!

Great space with lots of chocolate and goodies. Stay for a tasting and try something new!

Great atmosphere, very knowledgeable staff, and wonderful chocolate.

Tried their iced cocoa mixes at the Northwest Coffee Festival and they are delicious! The lavender will haunt my dreams.

Customer service, samples, unique items make this place nice.

The guys at Intrigue are master flavor blenders. You wont find truffles like this anywhere else.

An interesting assortment of fresh truffles. The matcha and damiana truffles were especially tasty.

Love the chocolates, the beverages and most of all the smiles from the kind hearted staff.

Chocolate serving as a base for spice, herb, and fruit notes. Amazing craft, delicious results.

Amazing assortment of infused chocolates that changes nearly daily. Ask for a tasting and theyll give you a tour of what they have available.

Was here on a tour. Lots of samples and all were excellent!

You are most certainly not bubba Gump

Great truffles and chocolate tastings.

H E A V E N ! ! Seriously, I just let a Mojito melt in my mouth! So enamored...

Delicious chocolate truffles and lattes.

For a well developed pallet

The owner and chocolatier, Chef Aaron, warmly greeted me.
