Theo Chocolate

Theo makes the best chocolates in the Seattle area! Not only are they delicious but they are also the first organic and Fair Trade chocolate factory in the country!
Their flavors include classics such as dark, milk, and hazelnut as well as more exotic kinds like Chai tea, coconut curry, and Fig Fennel.
You can find most of the bars in supermarkets and online but you should definitely go to their factory and store in Fremont. They offer all their products, samplers as well as their small delicious confections pieces. They are pricey so make sure you enjoy them!

If you have time, go and tour the factory:

The London Plane

The London Plane: a New Opening in Pioneer Square.
It has a beautiful interior, not so much because of the decoration itself but because it is in the middle of a retail store that sells creative arrangements of flowers, pastries, cheese, canned and tinned food…
I had lunch at the bar, where a choice of newspapers are made available to you.
I had a large salad (chicories, cucumber, chickpeas, avocado, with tahine herbs dressing) that was very fresh. The Rhubarb Galette (tarte à la rhubarbe) was tasty but a little bit too sweet. They do not serve espresso but a very good drip coffee from their neighbor Caffè Umbria.
I’ll go back and give it a second chance because I really enjoyed having lunch in such a pleasant place and the owners are the same people in charge of Sitka & Spruce and Bar Sajor, two restaurants that I really like.
