We visited this chocolate shop just down the street from another store…read more We found a lower cost of chocolate but we learned that that's because they use more sugar in their chocolate than some of the higher end chocolate houses. Don't get me wrong it's good chocolate but not a rich and has less cocoa in it. For gift giving get this chocolate and save the higher end for yourself but it's still Belgian chocolate and can't go wrong with that.

The store has a self-serve structure where everything is priced by the pound. The workers were very friendly--one even greeted me with a free sample & we had a lovely conversation about traveling. The rumors are true: Belgian chocolates are absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the treats so much that I even made a second trip to bring one of my friends back to try some for themselves. I would definitely visit again the next time I'm in Brussels!

Just 1 euro and without the sharp taste some energy drinks have (which I likebut some people may not). Hundreds of sweet choices, caffeine and a funny name? Has to be 4 stars.

For a chocolatier that prides itself on serving its chocolates to royalty, it seems like care is not taken for precision. I did enjoy some of the interesting flavors like Earl Grey or orange liqueur. I suppose the taste trumps shape.

One of the workers, Sebastian, was very friendly--we had a lovely conversation about the chocolates & traveling. This was the second chocolaterie I visited that evening, but I'm excited to report that it's now my new favorite. I got a variety of chocolates--I even brought a friend for a second trip later on so they can try it for themselves & I picked up more treats to try for myself as well. I came back one more time to buy some of their products to bring home for my friends in California. I wish they had a location closer to home, but this is definitely a chocolaterie I'll keep returning to whenever I'm in Brussels.

So now I know! Nevertheless, I think I died and went to hot chocolate heaven. We ordered two salted caramel hot chocolates which were served on trays with a side of whipped cream, a side of chocolate and a cup filled with chocalety goodness complete with a chocolate Santa plopped right on top. The store was inviting and filled with many chocolate delights. We ordered two additional pieces to go along with our order.i ordered the chocolate with caramel and pecan shavings and Aidan ordered the lemon chocolate. Despite the hefty price of $20usd for 2 cups of hot chocolate and 2 add on chocolates it was well worth it.
