This tours starts off at Cedar & Spokes where we learn about the modern coffee scene from a local roaster. This coffee is paired with dark chocolate from the first bean-to-bar chocolate company in Seattle- Theo's chocolate. We are then off to a chocolate factory, indi chocolate, to taste pour-over coffee and pair it with a brownie bite and learn about cacao beans. Next sample and learn about Joe Chocolate Co which is an inspirational small business story. We then do a quick palate cleanse at Beecher's with a little Flagship cheese. We continue down First Ave to indulge in Fran's Chocolate who released the first fleur de sel caramel in Seattle. They use the finest ingredients in their confections and single origin hot cocoa. Last stop is Fonte who is a pioneer in local coffee and you'll get a good snap shot of how coffee has shaped the industry. All highlighted companies are local Seattle businesses with a story that stems from a passion to source soundly and make decadent sweets or beverages.
