Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Like others, we discovered Indi Chocolate on the Secret Food Tour (which I also recommend). We were lucky that the owner was there and had time to chat with us. Indi's lotions and chocolate products are sustainably sourced and of the highest quality. We had multiple mochas over 2 days, along with several chocolate chip cookies. All delicious! And of course we took some lotion home. Highly recommend.

Discovered this impressive family-owned biz at Pike Place Mkt while on a #SecretFoodTours stop. Ask your guide or an owner how they got started! We sampled a chocolate chip cookie sprinkled with crunchy cocoa nibs - what a rockstar alternative to walnuts or pecans in baking! And I fell in love with their cocoa butter lotion with mint essential oil. I think I’ll just rest my head on my desk at work and smell my arms all day -ha ha! Bought 3 bottles to take home! They also have an orange essence version. Lots of specialty coffees and a really cool cacao infusion kit to flavor your fav spirit. Don’t miss this place!

Indi Chocolate is a little shop in the underground of Pike Place Market. The very sweet lady who owns the shop roasts her cocoa beans right there in the shop! It smells like heaven! Be sure to try some mint chocolate body lotion! Such a luxurious treat!

Thank you so much for your business and your review. We really appreciate it.
We're so glad to have folks still coming back for our lotion 8 years after we started offering it to the public. I initially started making that same lotion in my kitchen for my youngest daughter and her sensitive skin.
We've now moved across the street in Pike Place Market to Western Ave. This means our entire chocolate factory is now in Pike Place Market as well as our cafe for drinks and food.
Hope to welcome you to our new location in the Market.
Thanks again.
Wishing you all the best,

We stopped by Indi Chocolate twice on 01/12/19 whilst on the taste tour. We met in Indi with our host and was given a warm welcome, so much so that we went back after the tour and bought a few items and chatted to the lady who owns and created Indi Chocolate. Her philosophy and passion for her products was very inspiring and they taste amazing!

Kinda hidden stumbled upon it. My preteen was whining about being tired so I bought her a shot. Kidding just an espresso shot. She was fine no whining 4-5 hours after lol. We got the mint chocolate tea cant wait to try that. One of her best friends has the tool to make it so they are planning a tea party. We did the chocolate samples dark full flavor and strong espresso would recommend ESP for teens.

Thank you so much for visiting indi chocolate. I'm glad you stumbled upon us.
As the mom of two teenagers (Indi is my older daughter), I understand about the whining and I'm glad it stopped once she got her espresso shot at indi chocolate.
In addition to making great tea, we have additional recipes for the tea on our website. We are always adding more recipes and should have our Agua Fresca recipes with the tea and more added shortly.
Thank you for your business and your reviews. We appreciate both.

I started indi chocolate with that wonderful cocoa butter based lotions and lip balms I make for my daughters.
We use that same cocoa butter in our chocolate too.

We hit this spot on our food tour, and the cookie we sampled was so good we went back and bought more to bring home!

I am not sure we would have found Indi if we were not on the tour. We went home with a variety of bars - and still nibbling our way through them. It was good to hear their story, and gave me an appreciation of what it takes to make good chocolate.

Thank you Beth for your business and review. We really appreciate it.
We may not be the easiest to find on Western Ave. in Pike Place Market but I'm certainly glad you did.
It's certainly nice to know that someone appreciates all the hard work and careful sourcing we do to make your chocolate bars.
Thanks again.

You know how you can walk into a coffee bar and feel like the staff is judging you if you don't know the difference in flavor between South American beans and African beans? Well, never fear! The folks at Indi Chocolate have a ton of knowledge but won't alienate chocolate lovers or all stripes. These folks have every variety of chocolate wonder: single origin chocolate, chocolate lotions, infusion kits, nibs, spice rubs, etc. All of their products are incredibly high quality, sustainable, and delicious! The staff will answer any questions you may have without any hipster snobbery. When you stop in, I'd recommend getting the 50/50 cold brew and a bag of roasted cacao nibs!

Was recommended I go here by a friend, and I am very happy with the outcome. The chocolate with cherries is incredible. The man who worked the shop front was super friendly and helpful, engaged me well and made the experience all around great. I came in once again later that week because I was out of chocolate, and the owner/maker was in the store. It was great to learn so much about a product, all the shop keepers were very knowledgeable and I left knowing so much more. They put a lot of passion into what they do and you can taste it in every bite.

Thank you very much for your business and your review. We really appreciate both very much.
You've met half the family already. My husband helps me sometimes when he's got time off.
We have now moved across the street in Pike Place Market and are located on Western Ave. This means our entire chocolate factory is now visible so you can watch us roast the beans all the way to your finished chocolate right from our cafe. We now have the space to teach classes and have events at indi chocolate.
Passion for the farmers we work with, the team we employ, the community we're fortunate enough to be a part of and for our customers is what drives this business.
Hope to see you in our new location.
Thanks again.
