You cannot go wrong with a variety box where you pick out many pieces to your liking, right? That's what I ended up getting. What really stood out to me was their hot chocolate.

Although Leysieffer bars ain't no Lindt, SPRÜNGLI, Teuscher, Godiva wannabee. Nope. Leysieffer bars are possibly the most original, differently well crafted chocolate bars I've had. How did I discover this place? German friends bringing these treats to LA. Leysieffer has been around since 1909. It is the primo source for classic German chocolate. Leysieffer is uber amazing chocolate in a different way and they take chocolate to another level. If you like bold flavors and bold chocolate up to 90% dark cocoa, unencumbered, come here. After you've had a bite you know there is a notable palate awakening quality that Leysieffer imparts to your chocoholic sensibilities. But wait that's not all, my favorite and amazing chocolate bars at Leysieffer are paired with things like Cardamom, Early Grey, Elderberry so good and unique. Fassbender & Rausch down the street is also really good chocolaterie but I find their products to be more museum type stuff, the flavors at Leysieffer however, are better evolved and crafted for the serious chocoholic. My favorites chocolate bars here are (check out the pix): Earl Grey (not available when I visited) Rosa Pfeffer (Pink pepper studded in chocolate) Meersala (coarse salt in medium and dark) Lavender Ginger Cardamom Elderberry Grapes Wasabi (half dark choc) White Chocolate with Chili (chile not chili powder) There are many other varieties of chocolate made here. This is some amazingly good chocolate, the ingredients time tested and flavors are invented here. On top of that, there are pralines, truffles, marzipan chocolates, all these can be ordered online, except for the freshly baked cakes and counter sweets. Leysieffer has 3 locations in Berlin and also the 6th Floor Food emporium at Kadawe (amazing, super amazing collection). The location on Friedrichstraße 68, is about 3 blocks from the Stadmitte U-bahn stop is also a cafe so can purchase a light lunch, cakes and coffee with chocolate. Soo fun an experience to come to a cafe and have chocolate from the source right there. I was here every other day. Berliners love their fine chocolate and Leysieffer rocks it! Hopefully you'll get to try it out when you make it to Berlin. ORDER Online: You can order online at http://leysieffer.de/englisch/home.html Tip: Their chocolate bars run anywhere from $5-$6 and SOOOOOOOO worth it. Service at the cafe or any eatery in Berlin is not like in the states. American Yelpers complain about service. I think this is true for all kinds of restos and cafes in Berlin . Waiters don't come to you every 5 minutes like in America. Berliners like to stay and sit for hours during a meal and when you're ready to order or for the check, wave at your waiter. Visits: 3 and 2 in Kadawe (Department Store).

In our chocolate bar making class, we made two identical Ritter bars of a unique-to-you flavor. There are about 24 mix-ins and they allow you to choose 3 so the flavors are preserved. Then you chose your chocolate. While the bars are setting, you have an educational session on Ritter and on chocolate. Our tour was mainly Germans so they only spoke English during this portion. However, during the TV visual portion there were English subtitles. As mentioned, there is a lot of Ritter to chose from in their store - small bars, big bars, all flavors including limited edition flavors, gifts boxes, a meter of chocolate. And there is a small cafe with drink and sweets. We didn't utilize the cafe nor did we purchase extra chocolates. We really enjoyed our time!

We ended up buying only two chocolates, which were amazing and tasted really good. The store was beautiful and well-organized, but we didn't feel welcome.
