The Gist

Chocolate Maker

From farmer to botanist to brewer to baker to chocolate maker, Chef Aaron Barthel's life has been an exploration of fine and simple things. He handcrafts small batches of craft chocolate with care to coax the chocolate into telling its own story.

Hope

At Intrigue we celebrate discovery and encourage the habit of exploration, enrichment, and enjoyment. We want you to feel nurtured, edified, and inspired to share your experiences with others. We hope to provide this to you through tasting experiences in our retail stores, and tasting experiences you can gift and share with coworkers, friends, and family.

Over the years we have expanded our passions from solely confection making to include coffee service and craft chocolate making. You can see this reflected in our evolution of products.
