It's not an especially big store but there's a reasonable, though not huge, range of wares on display as you go in. For the tray-made chocolates the pricing is fairly straightforward- you pay depending on what size of box you want, and then they will put whichever chocolates you want in that box until it's full. Boxes are neatly presented in a box tied with a ribbon, inside a shiny bag- it's a gift ready to be given. They also do special commissions such as icing names onto chocolate figures, the usual kind of thing. Their web site gives a good idea of their range. The chocolates are quality stuff- a little bit bitter (like real chocolate should be), quite dusty, but very tasty little treats. Besides Belgian chocolate, I also love Belgian beers, and I asked in the Chocolate House whether there were any shops selling Belgian beers in Cambridge. Unbelievably, I was told the answer was 'no', when I later found out there are at least 2. Maybe there's some sort of inter-Belgian shop rivalry going on there?..

It is not cheap, but the six chocolates in a packet are rich, flavoursome and mouthwateringly superb. The entrance is dominated by tempting (but highly priced) giant slabs of chocolate in a wide range of flavours. Beautiful in appearence, they make excellent gifts for the person who has everything (except enough chocolate, there is never enough chocolate). At the rear of the shop the selections of small packets of six chocolates are helpfully arranged by chocolate colour, fruit and nut selections. The varieties change regularly, which keeps you coming back for more I would not recommend this chocolate for children; too expensive.

Last Christmas he bestowed upon me a lovely little white box of mixed truffles made locally in Colchester. I love gifts, I love chocolate, and I love local, so it was splendid. I waited until well after my return Stateside before diving in because I know me and chocolate - we begin and end quickly. The truffles were wonderfully indulgent, not large, and just the right amount of sweet when you need to treat yourself. Have to many and you go to far. Minerva has done a wonderful job of making it just right. All the flavors were grand such as vanilla, strawberry champagne, salted caramel and others. Some were dusted lightly on the outside as well. The flavors were lovely. I highly recommend just picking yourself up a small box, it's all you need, and indulging once in a while in these hand made lovelies.
