About Us
Island Angel Chocolates

Mona
Professional Chocolatier

As a resident of Whidbey Island I live my passion for chocolate through Island Angel Chocolates. I have always loved chocolates, but it wasn't until my son, Phillip, volunteered me to make chocolates for one of the local bakeries that I knew I was born a chocolatier. I graduated from Ecole Chocolat, based in Vancouver, BC with a Professional Chocolatier Certificate. I studied the history, chemistry and artistry of chocolate including recipe development. My mantra is Live Your Passion!

Tony
Asst. Chocolatier, Marketing

I came to Whidbey Island to complete my internship for college in the 1980's. After completing college I have made the island my home ever since. My passion is my wife and I get to live her passion through Island Angel Chocolates. My primary role in the chocolate business is to make the ganache. That's the smooth, creamy center found in all the truffle pieces that we make. Because of that I've picked up the nick name of the ganache man.

Our Family

Tony and I are a true to life love story. We met when I was eighteen and he was only sixteen. From the time we met we were steadfast friends. No romance evolved from our friendship so after knowing each other seven years we basically went our separate ways--he chose school and I chose marriage. And then many years later our paths crossed again. He had graduated with a Master's Degree from Wright State University and I had a Life Degree from a relationship that had long ended. The friendship we cherished when we were teenagers quickly blossomed into a strong and deep love. We were married on Whidbey Island on a stormy December day. We have Muggles, our Golden Retriever and Furlock Holmes, the cutest little cream colored tabby you've ever seen.

Our Philosophy

Our passion is serving you, our customer, and we are always open to comments and suggestions to further your chocolate experience. Our goal is to receive the gifts that we are continually blessed with and return those gifts to our community and the world through contributions of our time, talent, and the success of Island Angel Chocolates and 1 Angel Place, Chocolate Bar.
