We bought a box of 24 truffles to share amongst 7 friends and absolutely loved it. We ate it all. Apparently, it’s the most popular set of truffles so there was something for everyone’s taste buds. We also got a couple $4 bars, which was the right price point for us.

Cute Portland based chocolate shop in downtown, small but has a lot to offer. Besides bars and truffles and hot cocoa powders, you can also get drinks like hot chocolate or milk shake here!Im drawn by their beautiful packaging, simple, modern with vibrant colors. The bars are very reasonably priced ($4 each) and they have different series of truffle gift boxes, lovely!I do have a major complaint though: the truffle boxes I bought expire in less than a month (Bought on Feb 23rd and expiration date is Mar 18th)—I only found out when I got home. I just think they should either not sell them or at least warn their customers.

I mean.. its good chocolate but... very overpriced for what it is. Almost $20 for a 6 piece. Shop is suuuper small. The classic hot chocolate was amazing though. Super creamy. But the chocolates were just too expensive for what it was.

Great little chocolate (coffee/hot cocoa/milkshake) shop. The mint hot cocoa mix is amazing. The person who helped us and made our drinks was really nice. Fun stop!

We happened across this place while walking, and we just had to stop in and try a few chocolates. Staff was friendly and helpful, happy to answer our questions and offer suggestions. Worth checking out, for sure.

I have been sending Moonstruck chocolates to my family for the last 10+ years for Christmas, everyone loves them and they are a beautiful & delicious treat to receive! Just did my curbside pickup for this year at the Alder Street location and wanted to note how impressed I was with the whole process. Super easy to place your order (even custom picks for a gift box) online, ready in 10 minutes, quick call when you arrive and someone brings it out to you. The employee I spoke with was pleasant and friendly, everything was easy and safe. Lovely packaging. DELICIOUS chocolate. Thank you Moonstruck!

Yummy selection of truffles, bars, and cocoa. I picked up some treats for Easter from their spring line.. Currently capacity is 1 person in the store due to its small size. If you go peak hours be prepared to wait.

I got the Mayan Hot cocoa which was incredible but the chocolates themselves were alright at best, nit very innovative in their flavor.

Decadent chocolates. I highly recommend ordering the Mayan hot chocolate. This place is very small but so worth the stop and shop. Everything is freaky delicious.

Picked up some Mayan chocolates a while back. Morgan and her colleague (Im so sorry I forgot your name) went above and beyond, and their service was top notch. Definitely try a mocha or a hot chocolate.

Real nice ladies working in this tiny shop. I needed chocolates on a budget for my girlfriends mom post surgery (make or break her folks). The woman helped me choose a nice diverse selection to cover all my chocolatey bases and even wrapped the box in a fancy little bow. 5/5 from me and her family!

Popped in to buy Champagne and chocolates/truffles for a celebration. Staff was very helpful with recommendations and information. Bought a variety of chocolates. Chocolates were delicious the recipient loved them and so did we. Only disappointment was the coconut mounds with white chocolate; they were so hard to bite, I gave up. The dark chocolates were amazing. Lovely shop - pop on by!

Ok so 4 stars only because the parking sucks for this one and no place to really sit inside. On street parking in downtown Portland. Other than that we really enjoyed the hot coco from here. They have different flavors that you can add to it as well. Only been there once but will for sure be going back again.

Go now!!! Do not pass this up. Great chocolate with many a unique flavor. About as good as it gets. Only draw back at this location is that if you get more than 3 adults in techshop at once it becomes very crowded.

This is my favorite chocolatier! So pure, so flavorful. The Nutty flavor in drinks is superb, full of cinnamon & spice.

Review №36

Absolutely amazing chocolates. The Mayan Chocolate is our favorite so far, with a rich cinnamon and nutty flavor, but after getting a variety pack we havent yet had even a mediocre truffle let alone anything disappointing. The chocolate bar with basil salt and freeze-dried raspberries is a particularly delicious treat, and the available boxed size options means even a small 2-truffle box makes a perfect size for a stocking stuffer!

In 93 my Dad and step mom started this company from scratch, with their love for quality confections. In 2003 they sold it, but it still reminds me of all their love and devotion they put into this business to make chocolate unique and special to Portland. Even Oprah loves it. Proud of my folks for always going after their dreams and making it a reality. A must have when in Portland.

I looked up moon struck because I needed a gift. And who doesnt like chocolate? We wont go into those people. Anyway my husband dropped me off to circle the block. The sign on the window said something like soon to open. Whaaaat? Anyway disapointed they didnt have that info online could have saved us a trip down town during rush hour.

Too good, come in with a max amount of money to spend in mind or youll go broke. Dont care for the chocolate bars. stick to the truffles. The milkshakes are super thick and chocolatey, I had to add water to mine. It was upsetting my stomach with how rich the chocolate is(and I LOVE rich chocolates)

Small but very tight selection of chocolate, truffles, assorted treats, and decent coffee.I highly recommend mixing and matching some truffles to split with a friend or partner, but pick a few and enjoy the experience yourself!Very friendly and helpful staff girl as well. Recommended!

This is a small and antique looking shop that has wide variety of delicious chocolates. The truffles were amazing and so was the Mayan hot chocolate. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This feels like a place in the Diagon Alley from Harry Potter universe.

A tiny chocolate shop downtown that makes some tasty confections. I had the peanut butter shake which was very rich but peanut butter perfection. The staff was quite friendly and added in some extra peanut butter for a lover like me. The chocolate is also very good so pick up a bar.

Really decadent chocolate shop with locations all over the city. My friends and I have unhealthy love of the caramel with sea salt truffles. I almost hesitate to recommend them, because honestly, its the best truffle Ive had in years.

Super friendly service.. I know nothing about chocolate, they helped my ignorant arse. Went with a super chocolate connoisseur, she was asking super specific questions and getting proper answers (where was the coco bean grown, what time of year, what production facility, I kid you not). They knew their business inside and out.Also gentleman if you have made your lady mad and then patched things up randomly take her here and spoil her here. Trust me that whole forgive and forget, in here she will mean it. Havent made her mad take her here and she will wonder what you did and you can make it a fun teasing game for days of fun.

My favorite chocolate truffles! Always gotta make a stop when in Portland. I tried the Orange creamsicle shake this time, and was a bit disappointed. It didnt taste orangey at all. Definitely just sticking with their chocolates from now on.

My go-to place for milkshakes, usually with extra chocolate. The small chocolates are delicious and they often have a free full-size sample in addition to being able to sample the other items.

I was on my way back to meet my wife from S Waterfront and my blood sugar was dipping incredibly low. Ah, the stress of public transportation! My anxiety was rising as I walked from the max, and I began to sweat 😰. My brain saw the moonstruck sign and said to me GO TO THERE so I did.Number 1 it is not exactly cheap. A box of 9 was $25 and Im not flush, yknow? HOWEVER it can be soooooo worth it!Number 2 I added a lemon bar to my items and it is hands down the best lemon bar I have EVER had. Had no idea they did anything more than chocolate but oh THEY DO.Number 3 the chocolates, the truffles are super creamy and delicious 😋. Im a milk chocolate kid FOREVS and theirs is king 👑.Pretty sure they saw big dollars signs when I walked in to their teensy space and said HELP MY BLOOD SUGAR and they were all YOU GOT IT how many?In summation, go to here. Treat yoself.
