Seattle Chocolate has become known for delivering smooth, all-natural satisfaction with every bite. That’s because owner and CEO Jean Thompson understands that chocolate is more than an exquisite treat. It is also a way to connect, a gift, a salve. It’s one of life’s fabulous little pleasures. So Jean and her team fuss over the details of sourcing the most flavorful, responsibly grown and produced chocolate. And of course, they make sure their chocolate is always stylish and gift-worthy, even if it’s only for you.

Jean and her Seattle Chocolate team believe that food connects us all, and are dedicated to donating their time and resources to nonprofit groups that fight to abolish hunger.

In 2025 Seattle Chocolate's Mother-Daughter duo (Jean & Ellie) rebranded and introduced a new chocolate line called MAEVE.

Maeve Chocolate has been creating their signature melt-in-your-mouth truffle bars and bonbons since 1991. When the original chocolate factory was destroyed by the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake, Jean Thompson, entrepreneur, mother, and investor, took the reins. Since then, Maeve’s products have only gotten more innovative, more sustainable, more colorful, and even more delicious.

The road to becoming Maeve began as a conversation between Jean and her daughter, Ellie Thompson. Ellie essentially grew up in the Seattle Chocolate factory and officially joined the company in 2019, now working as the company’s Brand Manager. Maeve (named after a fiery first-century Irish warrior queen) is an uncompromising combination of ethics, substance, taste, and fun. The brand is carbon neutral, uses ethically sourced cocoa, and gives 10% of net profits to fund projects helping cocoa farmers. Take a bite and let your treat flag fly!

Taste the new world of MAEVE - it's only just begun. Discover fun, inventive flavors by MAEVE giving customers nationwide an ethical, delicious choice when buying chocolate.
