Sightseeing Part IV

The last post made me think of this place, which may as well have a post of its own: Theo Chocolates. This is a chocolate factory in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. If I have my information correct, they are fair trade and organic. They also have some unique and innovative flavors. Chocolate bars can be had at the factory as well as most local supermarkets. However, they also have truffles at the factory which I have not seen elsewhere.

They have factory tours which are pretty interesting but do cost $6. I think we went before they started to charge when the factory first opened. It may not be worth the cost, as there are usually some free samples in the shop when you walk in.

There is usually a weekend (or is it just Sunday) market in Fremont as well if you need another reason to be in that part of town.

And while I'm talking about Fremont. Brouwer's Cafe is a wonderful place to sample Belgian Beers and some good Euro pub cuisine. It is a bit pricey, but usually Belgian Beers are. And as you can see, pretty much right across the street from the chocolate factory. Our own little Brussels in two buildings.
