We came in and was greeted by this nice gentleman who gave us each a piece of chocolate. The piece was scrumptious and very well flavored. They mix random flavors and the results were truly amazing and different from other chocolate places. The thing is, this chocolate place is fancy! So prepare to spend about $1 USD per piece. I bought a box of 22 pieces for $24 and another box of 5 pieces for $6 something. It was worth it to me in my opinion. If I ever come back here again, this would be my go to chocolate shop because out of all the places I tried, this was top notch!

What makes this ice cream parlour unique is that it serves delicious home-made Italian gelato in different flavours and in combination with various toppings such as chocolate, banana, hazelnuts, strawberries, cookies and more. Other specialties being served are Brussel waffles, Belgian pancakes, ice cream tarts and cakes and ice pralines that are a delight to savour and indulge. For coffee and tea indulgers there are various Italian coffees and specialty teas on offer to satisfy every taste. And if the above selection is not enough, one can also enjoy a cold Belgian beer, wine or "bubbles" (Champagne or Prosecco). This is the ideal place on a sunny day to indulge in a flavourful, delicious and home-made Italian gelato and cappuccino with friends and family.

Try also the different hand-rolled truffles really delicious something for connoisseurs. I also love the cute packaging, nice boxes and in every gift box you find carefully and delicately placed tissue paper. This shop is a heaven for chocolate lovers and if there would exist stars for chocolatiers Mary would be rated for sure as one of the highest. They are slightly more expensive but so good - a TOP Chocolatier !

The texture was perfect and the flavor was great! I also think that their waffle cones in Belgium are way better. They need to open a gelato factory in LA asap! I'm so sad that I live so far away, but I guess it will just be another reason for me to come back to visit!

Every flavour is home made and the don't usually have the same flavours for two days in a row, which i find rather exciting. First time I went, I had a cone with a scoop of Hazelnut and a scoop of Caramel. Although the caramel one was delicious, the Hazelnut gelatto is out of this fu$&ng world (Pardon my French). Second time I had coffee gelato and I repeated with the Hazelnut. If you're not sure about what to have, ask the really nice girls who work there for a taste. I recommend banana which also embraces your taste buds in a cold yet warm loving hug hahaha I say this is the best ice cream in Antwerp. I dare anyone to tell me there's something better.

I learned this about most European restaurants the hard way after attempting to dine here two nights in a row on a very, VERY rumbly stomach. And I was desperate to have my first waffle in Belgium. So, I finally got to try this place out the morning I left and it was a nice last sit-down meal to remember the city by. I got the Wafel Désiré de Lille--a fresh, toasty, warm light waffle topped with coffee ice cream, fresh whipped cream with hazelnuts, all topped with powdered sugar--the perfect basic delicacies you could ever ask for on a waffle. This was my breakfast but it was the best meal I had in days and I was so satisfied at the end. The perfectly warm temperature of the waffle and its toastiness is very memorable, and honestly the best waffle I've ever had--and I'm not even exaggerating, after spending 6 days in Belgium, snacking on waffles on the go. It was around €8-9, which is not bad, and you do get great quality. Service was average, but wasn't bad. The waiter was no-frills but helpful with recommendations in the area during those nights where I missed the cut-off.

So far on my trip, I've had the chance to try waffles in Netherlands, but I really wanted to try an actual "Belgian" waffle. This cafe sits in the busy shopping area of Antwerp, bout 10-15 minutes walking distance from central station. When walking up I noticed the restaurant was really busy with people, which is a great sign. They have outside tables along with an inside dining area. Their menu features shakes, waffles, dutch pancakes, beignets, a few savory dishes and coffee drinks. I have no idea if they had a menu in English or not, I wasn't able to find one. My bad experience here started with service pretty much, the waitress here kind of rolled her eyes at me once she realized I didn't know any language except English (I'm sure my spanish was useless as well). After that encounter it was all downhill. I ordered their "Wafel desire de lille" thinking maybe this was their speciality waffle dish, cost about 8 euros and some change. The desire de lille was a liege waffle topped with ice cream, whipped cream and a dusting of nuts on top. Unfortunately I found the texture to be pretty bad, it wasn't crispy on top like it should have been and ended up being super soggy after the ice cream melted a bit. Taste wise it was just okay, I expected the ice cream to have a bit more flavor but it ended up being very bland. Very disappointed in both the waffle and the service here. My waitress made me feel like a total burden for some reason, even though she didn't really do much other than take my order which was just me pointing to an item on the menu. Someone else ended up bringing me my coffee and waffle. I understand the language barrier stuff, but I don't feel like that I should be treated like that. Anyways, the waffle wasn't good and service kinda sucked, not really a good time here. They also didn't have WiFi, the final nail in their 2 star review.
