One of the really fun things about our frequent trips to Oregon City has been occasionally popping over next door to Milwaukie and visiting Enchanté Choclatier.
Want a chocolate box containing more chocolate? No problem.
I am not really into shoes, but I know people who are, and this seems like a pretty solid gift.
A big part of the fun has been enjoying the holiday decorations. Our first visit was near Halloween, and that was great, but I was busy writing about seasonal things, and wouldn't it be good to see what they were doing for Christmas?
And then, there was so much Christmas-related to blog about that it just made sense to also visit before Valentine's Day.
There can be no doubt that you are at a choclatier. Preparation is done on-site, so the aromas may change based on what was most recently concocted (on our last visit, peanut brittle), but it is always going to smell good, and be full of fresh treats.
We had heard good things about the shop, but were concerned about the prices, including truffles that were $6. Boxes of truffles add up really quickly.
What we found is that there is a wide variety of treats, and at a wide range of prices. Some are very affordable.
The cases are well-organized, where it is easy to choose what center you want, and whether you want that in light or dark chocolate.
But there are also lots of other options, including bagged and foil-wrapped, and lots of things that are seasonally appropriate, like these handsome turkeys.
If you do want to go all out with a hand-dipped truffle, there are also some really nice gift boxes available.
The store's heart belongs to Paris, and that boutique theme creates the feel for the store and the items for sale. There are trinkets and treasures, along with the truffles.
And because they incorporate the holidays so well, what you will find is always changing.
That makes it really fun to look around.
Enchanté Chocolatier is on SE Main Street in Milwaukie, kitty-corner from Dark Horse Comics and near Kellogg Creek Park and the Trolley Trail.
It combines well with visits to Oregon City, but is also within walking distance of Canby Asparagus Farm, the tamale restaurant.
After all, lots of excursions are only made better by the addition of some chocolate.
The choclatier is also a part of the town's history. While there have been some changes, including in location, the family-owned business has been located in Milwaukie's downtown for over 80 years.
So consider stopping by some time. We found it enchanting!
