Their chocolate taste so good, it will have you craving for another box. When I walk in here I always feel like I walked in my little chocolate heaven. If you are fan of high quality chocolate, then you will not be disappointed. I love browsing at their beautiful display of diverse chocolates, and contemplating on which one I will explore this time. It's also one of my favorite places to go when I am thinking of the perfect gift to give someone. Service is warm, friendly and professional. It's definitely a win all around.

So myself and a few others waited for a long time while the staff just looked at us. When I was finally sat the server seemed to care less. It was really weird.

The salad and wine I got were very good as well. If this restaurant were not in the airport I probably would not come back. But, since it is I am sure I will be back next time I fly in.

Tony's is an amazing place. I had never heard about it until going to Amsterdam. If you also have…read morenever really heard about Tony's, I highly recommend you stop in. The story about how this place came about is just heartwarming and makes me want to give them all my money. The chocolate really is fantastic, and it comes in a plethora of flavors. The storefront is where you can make an appointment to get into and is a very fun experience where you get to choose your own chocolate and toppings. You get to watch the bar being made and you get to choose the wrapper colors and name your chocolate bar. I think this makes for a really great little gift to give to family and friends back home. You can also purchase premade chocolate bars in the store, and trust me when I say you can't really go wrong. If a flavor sounds good to you add it to your bag. The chocolate is that iconic European super rich chocolate.

If I could give more than five stars to this little shop (tucked in one of the many sidestreets…read morethat dot Amsterdam) I would. Before I get into the shop itself, The wife and I need to note the owner and hostess. She is, without a doubt, the nicest person we've ever encountered in any shop, restaurant or store. She truly cares about her wares, and seems to care in turn about your experience and that you be happy while you are there; if anyone ever earns the designation "hostess" it is her. For lack of a better descriptive, she is grandmotherly in the best way. My wife would insist (and I would agree) to give this shop five stars based on her service alone, even if the shop was drab and the chocolates mediocre. Fortunately, neither is the case. The chocolates are universally excellent and artisinally produced. She sells them in packaged form to take with you and savor in your home; however she also prepares a hot chocolate for you to enjoy in the shop or on the go, and it is incredibly rich without being too sweet. While not exactly inexpensive, it is also more than in-line with high end chocolates in Europe. What about the store itself? Well, the sense that our hostess belongs in a Harry Potter book as a kindly, magical shopkeeper is enhanced by the store's appearance. It radiates warmth as it is filled with chocolate-related antiques and knickknacks, charming designed displays and shelves overstuffed with quaintly designed sweets packaging. But make no mistake: the shop itself is meticulously clean and neat. As you can tell, I and my wife could gush about this shop for a long while. But I'll leave you with: go visit and say hello.

What a find! Stumbled onto this fantastic shop/factory while ambling around. Twenty minutes later…read morewe left with 12 bars of chocolate (no judgment: SOME were for gifts), each wrapped beautifully, and offering a unique flavor or combination of flavors. The store portion has a large table with samples of nearly all of the bars. We sampled almost all of them -- what, we should just guess what they taste like?! (Usability note: the glass bottles that house the samples are not ideal; the opening is small and you can easily imagine a number of hands and fingers touching the spot where the samples come out.) In the back of the shop is, from what we could tell, their main factory, and they were busy churning out chocolates. Plus, near the register, there are chocolates by the pound. Yes, we got one of those as well. As we explored other shops in the city, we saw other chocolates and realized that Urban Cacao does white label production for many of them. Some of those stores had lower prices (and different options) than at the main shop we visited, but the selection and variety of flavors makes this a must-visit location.

Anyone in The Netherlands can tell you that Huize van Wely is the best chocolatier and cake maker…read morein the country. Their creations are spectacular, awe-inspiring, breath-taking (and certainly breathtakingly expensive!). They most have shops in areas where the ultra-rich live, who can afford to get their parties catered by Huize van Wely, or who are happy to pay double for a Wely-quality pastry. If you're familiar with Dutch customs, you'll know visitors are expected to bring chocolates, wine or flowers to a party or dinner at a friend's house. If you really want to impress your hosts, Wely should be your destination. Great place for custom/wedding cakes too. Though Wely is a little too pricy usually for me, my favorite purchase here was a gorgeous, enormous chocolate high-heeled shoe filled with bonbons for my sister's birthday. Perfect gift for someone who has limited space at home for regular gifts, is difficult to shop for, or who "has everything". Who doesn't love chocolate?
