They also have freshly made baked goods, and if you can take your eye off all of the chocolate and samples you will notice you are in a beautiful home with original Dutch details. Stop here. There is more chocolate offered in town but they do not have the same atmosphere, service, and prices that this place has to offer.

If you are fan of high quality chocolate, then you will not be disappointed. I love browsing at their beautiful display of diverse chocolates, and contemplating on which one I will explore this time. It's also one of my favorite places to go when I am thinking of the perfect gift to give someone. Service is warm, friendly and professional. It's definitely a win all around.

Oh my chocolate gods! The smell when you walk into the shop is divine!…read moreYou can definitely smell that the cocoa is processed from bean to end product in the back of the shop which you can see through the glass wall. Cacao has a reasonably small collection of products in my opinion but it seems to grow every time I come here, so that keeps me happy of course. I do feel that everything here is outrageously overpriced though so I really only ever come here to buy a special gift or have a SMALL serving of there hot chocolate. Really, just get the small one because this liquid heaven is heavy. So a quick note to the people I know, you must be really, extremely special to me if I bring you something from cacao!

I know I'm echoing the previous reviews in some regard but really...this is as good as it gets…read more I've walked by this store many times and nary gave it a thought until last night when three ladies very passionate and enthusiastic about chocolate woke me up. When I mentioned to Debbie that I lived nearby the store she said, "that's dangerously close." That wasn't a tease nor a threat but an observation and she was right and knew it. She did say that with a grin on her face... So.....I had to check this out. Sure enough Debbie's excitement and enthusiasm for chocolate I could feel from outside as I gazed upon her grin from outside the store. It's a small boutique shop on a backstreet in the Jordaan area near the 9 streets on what is considered the 10th street in addition to the 9 streets. It has all different kinds of chocolate in all the nooks and crannies as well as books about chocolate interspersed throughout. There is a coffee machine/espresso machine and.....they offer tasters. Yep yep they sure do....tasters, samples....There is a long table with seats where they hold tasting sessions for groups, prearranged for 8-11 people with a choice on what kind of chocolate, be it dark, milk chocolate or whatever. They also have tasting events that they advertise via their newsletter. You can sign up for the newsletter on their website. It's hard not to get excited about chocolate when you are in the company of people whose passion and love for it is so strong and so pure. I'm envious. Debbie had me fascinated with how much she knew and how deep her passion is for chocolate. It's truly amazing. I wanted to know more and had/have myriad questions but didn't want to take up her time. She was only too glad to answer my questions. She more than answered my questions with an impressive fluidity of knowledge.Being expert in her subject she was excited that someone else was interested to hear about and learn more. I'll just have to stop in more often to ask more questions and to learn more. I love having such a cool store so near to hang out at and to enjoy some chocolate along with an enthusiastic person sharing interesting information about it. Huge kudos to the owners of the store and to Debbie! I'll be back.

The coffee guide on the walls are a great touch for selecting the right drink for you. Convenient location near local tourism spots, though it gets quite warm in the sit-down area around back thanks to the natural sunlight filtering in from the Passage. I appreciated that they bothered with latte art on a to-go beverage order, which is something that's frequently disregarded back in the States. I was more impressed by the dark chocolate pistachio bark than the assortment of specialty chocolates (subtlety varies widely between flavors), but the coffee certainly hit the spot. The complimentary choice of a chocolate accompanying drink orders is a nice touch. I had hoped for some pedestrian pastry options like a pain au chocolat, but I'd settle for trying their sinaasappel oranje patisserie next time, along with their gepofte paprikasoep, warme quiche, and da hong pao thee.

If you adore chocolate, you might consider a visit to the Fine Chocolate store Lounge 3 ;-)…read more The different chocolate brands they sell are considered the best in the world. I'm talking about Valrohna from France (which is the chocolate brand that gourmetchefs use in their deserts), actually its the purest and most honest chocolate in the world. Then there is Neuhaus from Belgium which tastes equally heavenly, but has a different character, and is also one of the highest quality chocolate brands in the world. And last but not least, Godiva from Belgium (also a very good chocolate) which is a bit sweeter and more creamy. Sometimes they sell a view different brands, like for instance... Ferrero, Lindt or Leonidas, but that is not always the case, I think that depends on the season. The ladies (and one or two gentlemen) really know their stuff, and are passioned about their chocolate. They know their brands inside out, offer high quality service, are very good in giving chocolate-advise and suggestions, have a great smile and make me feel like I am the queen herself :-) Yes, that is what I call, the million dollar-treatment :-D! They even walk around the counter and offer me my purchase as if it is a big diamond I bought for the ridiculous price of 10.000 euro's!!! But no!!!! It just is a little bag with chocolate inside!! That is the WAUW-factor for me, honestly. Soooo, if you get the chance to buy some chocolate for a loved one of yourself, give them a visit, and don't be surprised if you buy more than you bargained for. Have fun :-D
