We'll walk down through the funky Portland West End and stop at Azar Indulgences, where owner Christine Azar has designed her ideal combination of both handcrafted Belgian-style chocolates from her family's company in Lebanon. Azar's one-of-a-kind chocolates are made in a family tradition going back over a century; we'll taste a selection of our favorite of these chocolates (although to be honest it's so hard to pick!).

One of our usual stops is Less and More Coffee -- we will select other coffee shops on days when hours or group requires! Each coffee shop is chosen to feature the best and most interesting local roasters and baristas

In the Cultural District, we will walk by and describe the art museum and its role in the city’s embracing of craft as we head to one of our favorite coffee shops.

We will stop at a total of two coffee shops, depending on interest and the guide, which could include Behind the Museum Cafe and Less and More Coffee. Here we will get into how coffee is a part of Portland’s every day life and how deeply Portland’s coffee roasters have influenced the city and the world.

Our second chocolate shop is in the Pearl District in Portland. Hours and days vary so this will depend on the group, date and guide!
