The chocolate mousse was so rich, light and fluffy. Very strong cocoa flavor but the texture made it go down soooo smooth! They also have a vegan almond milk option. The chocolate sold in store were amazing as well read more

tl;dr you ought not miss the signature chocolate mousse bar; this was one of the few eats in Paris that I made sure to have twice Chocolate mousse can be found at bistros across Paris, but few spots are as highly recommended as Chapon. This chocolate boutique was founded in the 80s by Patrice Chapon, once an ice cream purveyor for Buckingham Palace. Since then, he introduced his now-famed bar a mousse concept, allowing chocolate enthusiasts to sample made-in-house varieties of mousse sourced from cocoa beans across the world. I first visited a Chapon outpost on a quiet side street of Saint-Germain-des-Pres. You might miss the narrow storefront and brown awning on first glance, but melon-sized bowls of mousse in the window are unmistakable. The interior is warmly lit, featuring tastefully worn wood motifs. The backlit shelves to the right are curated with prepackaged confections, while the display to the left is decked with à la carte chocolates. We arrived for an early afternoon treat, and the friendly service patiently talked us through and offered samples of multiple mousse varieties. My favorite was the Equadorian, a dark, full-bodied flavor with some floral notes. I also enjoyed my sister's Madagascar, which had a thickness and richness reminiscent of caramel. My mother opted for the lighter, fluffier Peruvian, which was nearly the consistency of meringue. Lastly, the 100% dark Venezuelan had the thickest texture; however, the red wine-y flavor might turn some off. While the mousse is delicious, the prices might be harder to swallow; our 3 small portions ran over 20 euros. Nonetheless, I was impressed by the staff's ability to suggest an ideal mousse to suit each of our preferences. For a unique experience and a mousse that is sure to impress, don't miss out on Chapon. read more

Really delicious chocolate mousse available here! They have them made with different types of chocolate from different countries. Some are stronger dark chocolate flavors and some are medium to light. I decided to get the one with 60% chocolate from Ecuador. As delicious as it was, for 7 euros in a small cup was way overpriced. Page put about 2 scoops that weren't even full. The mousse didn't even go all the way to the bottom of the cup, which it definitely should for the price. I wouldn't necessarily spend 7 euros for this again, but it's definitely yummy to try once when in Paris. read more

7 euros for a small cone is kinda crazy but what can you do? They only offer 75% or 100% chocolate mousse so I elected to get the first. The texture is super light and airy, not at all what I expected, almost like a thicker whipped cream. I enjoyed it but on its own it can be a lot to eat even though the portion is small because it's super chocolatey! I had some with a croissant and it was great. read more

My sister saw this spot on Instagram and so we came here for an afternoon sweet treat. They gave us samples of chocolate while waiting in line and we had the choice or milk or dark chocolate. There were two different mousse options (milk or dark) and there's a separate line inside or purchasing chocolates vs purchasing just mousse. The line is long but orderly thanks to the employees. Credit cards are accepted. Even though I'm usually a dark chocolate girly, I'd recommend the milk chocolate mousse. I'd also recommend splitting one between two people. read more

I really enjoyed this spot. The shop is really cute I side with a bunch of little chocolates in various shapes and sizes. The main reason for the trip was to try the chocolate mousse. It was so light and airy. Not too sweet, but very chocolatey. It was so good, and it's so light that you can keep walking across the city and not feel gross haha. read more

Saw this on Instagram and as a chocolate mousse lover I had to come. I love the concept - different types of chocolate mousse with different percentages of cocoa. My husband prefers dark chocolate while I prefer milk chocolate so it was was great to have the options. The main reason I bring it down is the cone option makes it pretty messy to eat, especially on the go, and the mousse was very tasty however the uniqueness comes down to the options. If you're in the area it's definitely worth enjoying once. Staff was so kind and did great at making sure it didn't get too crowded, despite it being a small shop. read more

Unreal. I have never seen mousse served takeaway like this but I loved the concept. For €7, you get a snow-cone cup filled with mousse. They have a few flavors that rotate, but appeared to have some dark and white chocolate. We opted for the dark chocolate made with almond milk. It was so rich with little bits of chocolate throughout. I recommend sharing because even though it looks small, it's so rich! read more

The mousse is so rich and a depth of flavor unlike any I have had. The chocolates are lovely and reasonably priced. The service was fantastic and they were very patient with this English speaking customer. The shoppe is small but clean. read more

Chapon makes some of the best chocolate in Paris. They are also known for their mousse which they sell out of. They have several locations and definitely is worth a stop. read more

Tubs of chocolate mousse -- if that's your thing then Chapon is your place. Other chocolates and other sweets available but I always get the mousse. I'm pretty much an equal opportunist mousse lover but I especially like Chapon. It's a no frills place but I love to get bribed by my wife with their mousse as a reward for trudging up the Rue de Bac to that always-packed Sezane store or the Bon Marché read more

The chocolate soufflé was divine .. simple yet so rich and full of flavors. I will definitely be going back. read more

Oh my goodness. This is the best chocolate ever. Service was incredible. We went to their smaller shop location near Champs-Élysées. We bought individual pieces of chocolate. I highly recommend visiting one of their stores. read more

The best chocolate mousse you can ever have - they have a couple of locations and if you are a Chocolate lover add it to your Parisian to do list read more

This chocolaterie is forever etched in my chromosomes. This is where I had that "chocolate moment" this is where the dark chocolate told me, hey, milk chocolate sucks. It is just a tiny chocolate shop but the whiff of chocolate and the number of people coming in and out intrigued us. I didn't know this shop existed; we were just traipsing along the cobbled streets of Paris when we found this gem. The lady manning the counter was extremely nice; she even spoke English to me. She gave us samples, too. Most of the chocolates we bought (and we bought ten boxes to bring home) were ganache based like Armagnac, blackcurrant, salted caramel, spiced, and raspberry pulp to name a few. We also had those chocolate covered cacao beans that we finished in le cab. read more

We stopped by Chapon at first because there was an ice cream cart outside, but once we got inside, we realized that the real star of the show was likely the chocolate mousse. The lady behind the counter had limited English but had enough vocabulary to let us know the differences (mainly the difference in percentage cacao terms) of each. After sampling a couple we got a healthy-sized scoop topped with chopped hazelnuts with one of the 72% chocolate mousses...and wow, was that delicious. The only thing I wish was that the mousse was served in an actual cone (e.g. a waffle cone) and not just a paper imitation. With a lightness that contrasted against the richness of flavor, it was a delicious snack to enjoy prior to us getting to our lunch spot! Mousse isn't the only thing Chapon sells as well; they have a variety of chocolates for sale, and we ended up getting a 24-truffle box for 26 euros - a very good price, IMO, compared to what we have paid back home in NYC, as well as in Belgium. The pieces tended towards the creamier side, and all the pieces have been good, but I would say that the craftsmanship, while excellent, is a tad below the level that I have enjoyed elsewhere (particularly some of the boutiques in Belgium). That said, the prices are good, and Chapon, at the very least, is worth paying a visit to for their mousses. Don't be afraid to pop on in! read more

This was one of our favorite stops. Small place where you can sample nibs made from beans around the world. Had the place to ourself, and he showed us how they make chocolate paste, we tried roasted beans, ordered chocolate drinks. Fun! read more

I visited a lot of wonderful chocolate shops in Paris and this was one of my favorites. There are 4 or 5 kinds of chocolate mousse that they give you to go in little paper cones; the girl behind the counter took the time to explain each one's tasting notes & origins. They have beans & bars from all over the world that you can sample as well as a case of chocolates which you can buy by the piece. I bought a small box and when I got back to the States and tried a few, I was so disappointed that that I didn't get a larger box- it was some of the very best chocolate I've ever had in my life. Definitely the best praline I've ever tasted. It was so good I'm actually considering flying back over for a weekend in December to buy a bunch for Christmas gifts. You read that right- it's SO good that it warrants a trip across the ocean! Do NOT miss this place if you're in Paris and you're a chocolate lover. read more

We ordered these chocolates to our home in the US... A quick search for Parisian chocolates led us to this brand and I am so glad! They are fantastic. The boxes are beautiful and each one of the four chocolates that I have sampled thus far is excellent. They are delicate with many layers of flavors - you can tell they don't use a lot of sugar and are using the finest quality chocolate. I am trying desperately to not eat the entire box. They've apparently won many awards for their chocolates and I can see why! Incredible! read more

Delicious chocolates. Very helpful staff. You must walk out with a cone of their mousse!!

I stumbled into this beautiful little chocolate shop randomly. They have many different types of chocolate to choose from. They literally have something for every type of taste. The different chocolates are so pretty and there is so much to look at. I love little boutiques like this. It's been years since I've been here but I'm sure the same quality remains. read more

AMAZING CHOCOLATE!!! There is no aftertaste and it's so creamy and good. staff was so nice and helpful!!! Highly recommend!!!

I was drawn into this boutique as they sell little cones of chocolate mousse and it is just the most curious looking sight I sampled a few ... Not my thing mousse is too rich for me but the Madagascar was the best non too sweet which is extremely impressive I did find my bonheur .... Les Fèves de Chocolate!! Wooooow! I thought I was getting chocolate covered almonds and oh what a great discovery! Great texture And covered in a fine bittersweet powder that leaves your hands a mess A childlike pleasure akin to Oreo teeth and powder donut face ... Fun Bitter Chocolatey Two thumbs up read more

Stellar chocolate mousse. In a cup. To go. That's really all you need to know. They offer several different origin chocolates that are fruity, intense, caramel-y, etc. You can get a topping (I chose powdered praline but they also had cocoa nibs) but I would skip the topping. The mousse is super rich and topping is overkill, unless overkill is your thing. If that's the case, get the ground praline and enjoy the moment. They also sell bar chocolates and individual bonbons in cute packaging but we were too engaged with the mousse for that to register. read more

I'm pretty sure that it was David Lebovitz's recommendation that brought me here first, and that man certainly knows his chocolate. Chocolat Chapon had some of the best chocolate I have ever had. I definitely recommend going in with an open mind and trying their speciality chocolates AND whatever they recommend - you will not be disappointed. That being said, you really cannot go wrong with anything there. I love orange and chocolate and they had the most delicious chocolate cover orange peels. Yum! It's a cute little shop and the gentleman working was helpful - explaining every chocolate - even in broken English. read more

The maison chocolate mousse here is incredible, and worth a special trip. The small cone is more than enough for one person. The chocolates and other confections look incredible, but I didn't have a chance to try them, I was too focused on the chocolate mousse. Go now and get some! read more

I think about this place frequently. I long for the chocolate. I haven't found it's equal back home. In a great location and the service was phenomenal! You can try everything before you buy. Do yourself a favor and get four times as much as you think you want because I'm kicking myself for not having anymore! read more

Came here because I'm a chocolate mousse lover and this was well rates and recommended. I tried a taste of each of their mousses. Underwhelmed by all of them and didn't end up buying any. Did buy some of their dark chocolate bars which I haven't tried yet but they have a huge selection. read more

Such rich chocolate mousse! I could even pick from what intensity of the chocolate I wanted! Very dark of course! The nice staff also gave me praline toppings and a mini piece of cookie to complete my cone of mousse. At 5 euro for a little cone it was not cheap but so worth it! read more

Great chocolate and selection with creative flavors. A charming little store.

The personel was very kind, made us try some wonderful chocolate and we loved it during our trip to Paris. It's pricy but very good with a nice staff! read more
