Sugarpep
Elevate your senses
Handmade confections from a Portland chocolatier who treats cacao like choreography — original recipes, each a different adventure.
Truffle menu
Each Sugarpep is hand-dipped in Portland — complex, a little theatrical, never timid. Tap a flavor to add a piece — repeat a favorite, or mix four different ones.

Pepe Raphael · Portland, Oregon
La Historia
Pepe Raphael left Madrid for New York, then landed in Portland in 1985 — not for chocolate, but for the stage. He danced with Oregon Ballet Theatre, and the discipline of ballet never left his hands.
His love affair with cacao started in 1962, when he was four. Decades of tasting, traveling, and pastry-sampling later, he finally decided the world deserved the recipes he had been composing in his head.
Original Sugarpep recipes, each a different cacao adventure of complex, interesting flavor. Let your taste buds be the judge.
The box
Choose any four from the collection. Pepe packs them to order in a window box with the glasses-and-star mark, then coordinates the details with you directly — no cart, no checkout maze. Just chocolate, and a conversation.
Contact
Tell Pepe which four pieces belong in the box — repeats welcome. He’ll coordinate pickup or delivery details with you directly — the same way a good chocolatier always has.
