Est. 1987 · Baker City, Oregon

Every piece tells a story of patient craft.

For nearly four decades, we've been shaping cacao into something that stops people mid-step. Not because we chase trends — because we understand the bean, the temper, the hand.

Our Craft

We don't make chocolate.
We make it right.

Every bar, truffle, and ganache that leaves our kitchen follows the same rule: if we wouldn't serve it to our own table, it doesn't leave the counter. That standard has kept Baker City coming back for nearly forty years.

We source whole-bean cacao from twelve estates across Ecuador, Venezuela, Madagascar, and the Dominican Republic. Each origin is conched for 72 hours, hand-tempered, and paired with ingredients we can name and trace. No shortcuts. No compromises.

What People Say

Baker City remembers

"The hot chocolate here is unlike anything I've had in Portland. Thick, intense, and you can taste the care in every sip. This is our Saturday ritual now."

M
Maria G.
Baker City resident

"We ordered custom chocolate boxes for our wedding. Peterson's made it effortless — the tasting session, the packaging, the flavor pairing. Every guest asked where we got them."

J
Jennifer & Tom
Wedding order, 2024

"I bring out-of-town clients here every time. It's the first place in Baker City people notice, and Peterson's never disappoints. The attention to detail is remarkable."
