Chocolati Cafe

I am traveling and one of my ways of getting to know a city is to visit one or more chocolate shops. Today's delightful stop was a great choice! I tried the Aztec and Cayenne hot chocolates. Sweet but not too sweet. I really liked them separately but together they are my perfect mayan spicy chocolate. I bought so many chocolates and truffles. I've tried the dark cherry cordial which is my favorite cordial of choice was yummy. And a new thing for me, I think it's called the sunshine delight?... it was a mango strip covered in dark chocolate. Omg, so good!! I will definitely be back next time I come to Seattle!

4.5 stars. Great cafe, great staff, great ambience. I love coming here whenever I want to read. The spread of warm wood and lighting is reminiscent of classic PNW cafe vibes, especially during rainy days. Many cafes in Seattle tend to have the same "modern" look and feel (which I'm fine with), but Chocolati Cafe Wallingford charmingly stands out among the crowd in its own unique, cozy ways. If you are a student needing to focus on grinding out some work, this cafe is really perfect for you. They don't play loud music; there are many cafes in Seattle that play music loudly to churn customers as fast as possible. The music level here is just right to be able to focus on your work/have conversation with your group mates. There are plenty of seating tucked away in upper-floor areas that really help you focus. I love reading there. Also, they close at 7:30pm, instead of 4 or 5pm like other cafes in the area! The drinks are great too! I really like their frozen drink selection. The only reason why I say 4.5 stars: they sometimes are closed during their regular business hours without notice, and I can't figure out why. Nevertheless, a great cafe and definitely one I'll keep coming back to :)

A chocolate cafe?! Absolute heaven for me. My sister and I both got the Europa hot chocolate on our last visit, one with soy and one with hemp milk. Europa hot chocolate is essentially sipping chocolate - far more rich than regular hot chocolate and highly recommended for chocoholics! They have espresso drinks as well but it was evening and we didn't need the caffeine. Their truffles and chocolate goodies are very good. They sell a small assortment of baked goods from All About Cookies - the vegan chocolate chip pecan cookie was amazing! The gentleman helping us out was super nice. He was the only one working so there was a small line but nobody minded - gave us time to browse all the goodies before ordering! This is also a perfect place to pick out a chocolate gift for the chocoholic in your life. Or even work from - plenty of seating and free wifi. I'll definitely be back when visiting Seattle again.
