There's an option to pick a box or tin and fill it the cookies of your choice. The waffles themselves are something I can make at home and save the €15. I ordered the basic powdered sugar waffle, liege style. My husband ordered the Belgian style waffle which was topped with macerated strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Again, the waffle and strawberries weren't warm so it was like eating a dry stale cold waffle with cold strawberries and a scoop of ice cream. Disappointing to say the least. I'd pass on this place and stick with the street vendors where you can watch them make it in front of your eyes and served warm.

This store was one of the smaller ones we visited but its proximity to the Grand Place made it the obvious choice to duck into and escape the heatwave and indulge. I liked this store in particular since the staff were always warm and outgoing. They also were very generous in the sampling ;) Our newest favorite flavor was the calamansi Sensation. It was dark chocolate wrapped around dark chocolate ganache but with a very distinctive calamansi citrus flavor. We love calamansi and never imagined tasting it as part of a praline. If you really want to try it then go now since it will only be available during the summer! Lastly as part of their frequent buyer program, the store includes free samples to go. Staff just need to scan your Neuhaus Insider QR code and that's it. SO's taste buds agreed Neuhaus was the Belgian chocolatier on this trip and we'll be back.

Though Galler remains modest, whether it's in their cost, branding or initiatives, they should not be overlooked as they are indeed one of the suppliers to the Court of Belgium (see crest inside store). The chocolate here is delicate and smooth, light, and delicately sweet. I've ordered a variety-- 19 to be exact, and can already promise you, each one will be savored accordingly. SERVICE: A monsieur helped me with my order, and was incredibly patient, astute, and knowledgable. He overheard me telling someone my partner was lactose intolerant and took that into account when I was interested in purchasing some chocolates. Even when I asked which chocolates would be more cost efficient (ie: pre-packaged bars, etc), he didn't try to upsell.

The staff was super friendly and offered us samples of different candies. They were able to explain what different items were and what the unique flavors tasted like. Although we didn't purchase any, we were both impressed with the huge selection of chocolates shaped like tools! It was amazing to see how intricate each one was! We ended up purchasing some boxes of mixed chocolates and a bag of jellied candies of various flavors. I don't think any of it lasted more than 3 days, it was sooo good! Prices were fair, too. Definitely bookmarked in case we're ever back in Brussels! 29/2020

We visited this chocolate shop just down the street from another store…read more We found a lower cost of chocolate but we learned that that's because they use more sugar in their chocolate than some of the higher end chocolate houses. Don't get me wrong it's good chocolate but not a rich and has less cocoa in it.

The staff provided excellent customer service and was very helpful throughout our visit. The ambiance is fancy, clean, and organized. The chocolates were silky smooth, and each flavor had its own distinct taste. You can immediately identify the different flavors, and each piece has its own unique flavor profile. I also love that the chocolates are not overly sweet. They have just the right amount of sweetness, allowing the chocolate flavors to stand out. The truffles were also delicious, with a nice balance of slight sweetness and bitterness. The box comes with several different flavors, which makes it fun to try a variety of their creations. :)
