According to a recent permit filing, Dilettante Mocha Café has filed for a Bellevue location at 11400 SE 8th Street Suite 150.
A representative of Dilettante Mocha Café was not immediately available to comment upon What Now Seattle’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, Dilettante currently has four locations, according to the company website.
“Inspired by a long family tradition of candy and pastry making dating back to 1898, Dana Davenport founded Dilettante in 1976 in the vibrant Capitol Hill district of Seattle, Washington. From our humble roots as a neighborhood chocolate and coffee shop, Dilettante Mocha Cafés have blossomed into something much more.”
“Then named, The Dilettante, the store served coffee, chocolates, and pastries and served as Seattle’s first mocha experience. Featuring a full line of gourmet chocolates, confections, pastries, and artisan coffee, Dilettante’s craft continues to be celebrated and shared.”
“Derived from the word Ephemeral, meaning a brief and fleeting experience, Ephemere soon became synonymous with Dilettante. Ephemere chocolate brought together caramelized butter, sugar, and cream for a velvety smooth taste.”
“Using this specialty cooking method, Ephemere offers a rich, full-bodied taste. Ephemere began as a chocolate sauce but became featured in many of Dilettante’s confections over time. The most notable example is the Ephemere truffle, which Dana regards as his family’s heirloom truffle.”
“The Dilettante changed significantly since its opening in 1976. Now known as Dilettante Chocolates, the company continued to improve its recipes and shared its craft with more and more people. The historic store in Seattle’s Capitol Hill later served as the foundation for the Dilettante Mocha Café concept.”
