Review Summary:
While in Portland, Oregon recently I stumbled across the Moonstruck Chocolate Cafe on NW 23rd Ave. 23rd has all sorts of trendy/fun shops and restaurants and is a great place to find gifts for friends or for yourself. I must say first off that I am amazed at how beautiful their chocolates are. Wow. When they say “Minature Works of Art” on their “Meet the Truffles” page, they are not kidding. But not only do they look fantastic, they are even tastier. Very unique mixes of flavors. My only critique would be that they seemed very heavy on the dark chocolates as far as range of selection. Since I’m a huge milk chocolate fan, I guess this was one thing that stood out to me.

Of course, dark chocolate is so healthy for you… right? I swear, I’ve seen their logo in Communication Arts or some similar forum.

What about that lawsuit that Moonstruck is filing against Moonray Espresso, a small business in Duvall, Wa.(a small former logging town in the foothills 40 miles from Seattle) over a not so similar logo, other than the moon? Another case of Corporate America squashing small business entreprenuership.

Moonray Espresso is now out of business; it’s been over a year since the lawsuit and the store is still vacant. It’s so sad… I guess the drive-thru Starbucks down the street has taken over.
Moonstruck chocolates, I discovered recently, are being sold at the Redmond Town Center. Looked pretty good, but i wouldn’t touch them… not even if they offered free samples (which they didn’t).
We’re in the Snoqualmie Valley — Snoqualmie means “moon” or “people of the moon” — but a cafe or espresso stand here isn’t allowed to have the word “moon” in its name? How crazy are people these days? We can’t even share the moon.
