The waffle was delicious--not greasy at all and very fresh. I didn't try the chocolate, but they had really lovely designs from Sphinx heads to soccer balls. Also a good location to grab something to go and walk down to the canal. read more

Excellent chocolate but they don't give any samples and don't even want to give you a paper bag but…read morethe chocolate is 5/5
I saw quite a lot of recommendations for this shop in Gent so I decided to pop in because I wanted…read moreto buy some chocolate to bring back home to the US. I was a little overwhelmed with the different options they had, so I spent a good amount of time there. I ended up picking up a few of their pre-packaged truffle assortments and also got a few individual truffles for me to eat. One of the clear case boxes unfortunately got severely squished in my suitcase, so I actually ended up eating them since they were not in a presentable state haha. Standouts of the ones I tried have to include passion fruit and macadamia. Yuzu is also high up there too. I think these were just more interesting flavors and more preferable to my own tastes. They're a solid choice for nice chocolate. Was my mind blown away? Not really, but the chocolates are high quality, handmade, crafted well, and certainly a LOT cheaper than what you can get in the US. My favorites were very delicious, and I would get them again or ask someone to bring them back if the opportunity ever presented itself.

This was our first chocolaterie in Ghent and it was excellent. The chocolates lived up the Belgian…read morereputation and they had a wide selection of different marzipans, a family favorite that is scarce in the United States. The only thing better than the chocolate was the customer service. The young man working educated us on the Ghent Dragon, provided us with a few local restaurant recommendations and a brief lesson on Belgian fries and local spots. He also informed us that the chocolates are made by Sophie herself. Sophie is doing a great job in both the chocolate business and in hiring friendly, competent people. It was a pleasure shopping there.

Staff are attentive and run around with a fury to keep up with the clientele coming and going. The menu is extensive but we settled on each having a Waffle Gravensteen which comes with chocolate sauce, blueberries. vanilla ice cream and a red (red fruit coulis) topping sauce on the ice cream. We accompanied that with a warm chocolate milk drink. Both were purely amazing, although the waffle was a bit crunchy compared to others I have tried. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, and you'll get a good dessert fix, best for an afternoon treat. It appears to primarily cater to tourists, yet they seem to keep the quality good. There's nothing better than a snack of waffles and chocolate!

We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 12:30pm) and there were a few customers. Nice touch that they let you try a sample when you first walk in. There's a lot of different chocolate bundle and package options but we stuck with the chocolate bars. There's a massive chocolate castle and dragon on display in the store. - 2x Chocoladereep (€3,50) - hazelnut praline and crunchy caramel. Perfect spot to buy a few chocolates to bring back home. 3.5 stars.

I still prefer the London guys, but Yuzu was definitely a chocolate experience and at half the price of London shops, well worth it! (Also, Nicholas is charming, speaks perfect English, and recommended a great restaurant called Vintage on Onderbergen).
