So VERY disappointed. Stopped over in Copenhagen the home of exquisite chocolate. Bought a…read moreBEAUTIFUL large tin of Michelsen brand chocolate to gift my niece for her engagement - Danish chocolate; something she couldn't easily buy in the big US city where she lives, so I spent ~$40. FORTUNATELY when I got back the tin was exposed to some warmth so I wan't sure if it was still perfect and summer temps were high, so I felt it would not make it through the mail safely. So I decided to share it with friends locally instead. Whew! I'm so glad this was not a gift! Here's why; 1. The tin is big; ~8.5x8.5" around, and about 2" (5cm) deep - obviously 2 layers of chocolates for that price? NO - just one skimpy layer with chocolates placed in cheap looking #1 plastic tray (environment anyone??). 2. Chocolates were each small and widely spaced, so exactly 25 small chocolates for ~$40 :( 3. I (rightly) never turned the box upside down (chocolates in their crappy plastic tray would have fallen around inside the box) to read the teeny-weeny label on the bottom which says 100g - that's 3.5oz, not even 1/4lb. ie $182/lb or $402/kg 4. "But"... you say..."they are quality Danish chocolates! of course they are small and expensive" NOPE. a) they are overly sweet relying on sugariness instead of flavor b) the flavors were nothing special AT all. For example - the Orange: supposedly orange chocolate covered nougat. The orange chocolate tasted like an Orange Aero (a pleasant mass produced UK chocolate bar which costs about $1.50 an oz). The center was not Nougat, but a simple chocolate fondant. - to generalize about the other flavors, what an uninteresting assortment. Now that people can easily find in ANY grocery store chocolate with almond, hazelnuts, caramel, orange, raspberry... a fine chocolatier needs to offer something different. The only unusual flavor in the box was passion fruit. How about Rose? Violet? lemon? lavendar? blackberry? brazilnut? beech nut? cardamom? use different textures? crunchy? runny? chewy (fine candied marmalade orange rind?), I mean for $402/kg get creative! - ... I could go on. I didn't taste them all cos I was sharing. But nothing special here. I'm so very glad I didnt mail these uninteresting chocolates as my grand engagement gift. They were just another after dinner chocolate for sharing. Just buy some Llindt for much cheaper The tin is nice, possibly worth $5 I'll use it to gift home-made cookies sometime.

The fillings were nice (really nice, actually!) but the standout was the chocolate shell - flavourful and good quality, with a nice shine and snap, but more importantly it tasted so nice and melted well in my mouth. On the high end price-wise, of course, but great for a treat! The person working there was friendly and helpful, too.

If I ever make it back to the area I'll definitely be purchasing more items there. Highly recommend!

It was decadent and rich and definitely conveyed the flavor of a fudgy brownie. The waffle was crispy and has a nice bottom that prevents ice cream from dripping as it melts. Service is adequate but a bit dismissive in my experience. Price is fair for the area - around 35 dkk for a single scoop.

I was curious but hesitant since we were already in a rush. The group I was with encouraged me to go treat myself. Best. Impulse stop. EVER. Hotel Chocolat is a British chain of cocoa bar-cafés with locations all over the UK as well as in Denmark (here in Copenhagen), Japan, Hong Kong, and New York. And it does seem like they have different TYPES of locations? But modern, high-end feeling chocolate shop in the front and café in the back. It's set up with a clean design that's very photogenic/Instgramable. They have a variation of chocolates made from cacao beans from Ecuador to Indonesia and a café that serves all kinds of mostly chocolate-y drinks and desserts. And for all the jokes about me being obsessed with chocolate, everyone was pretty involved in browsing through this store. I got the "Ice Cream of the Gods", which is a very soft serve in a cone and the option for either a chocolate or a salted caramel drizzle. And it's so GOOD. Even my dad, who was skeptical about spending money on something so simple, said it was worth it after having a taste. Translated from Chinese, the consensus was that it you could really taste the milk, which made it sweetly rich rather than richly sweet. We also happened to be there between the times they were switching out samples, so we got to try the Billionaire Shortbread Chocolate Selector (caramel, cookies, and hazelnut) and a dark chocolate bit that I didn't get the name of. In hindsight, I deeply regret that I didn't get the Billionaire Sundae, a dessert based on their Billionaire Shortbread Chocolate Selector truffle. Overall, super nice and really wish we could have hung around longer, even sit down and try out more menu items. If nothing else, drop in for a free sample, but just from what I tasted, I'd say it's worth it to make this a short stop. It's definitely on my list for the next time I'm back in Copenhagen or even London. That ice cream just made me really happy...

We bought some small samples and everybody ordered an ice cream. I would normally just take a few bites out of my wife's cone because I get nauseous after about half a cone. It's just too sweet and rich. But, she insisted on no sharing this time because she wanted the whole thing to herself. So, she ordered a rather large cone for me alone. They were right. It was not super sugary like other ice cream. The lady behind the counter said the only sugar came from the milk itself. I finished the whole cone without feeling like I'd just had a tub of butter/cream. We were only in town for a week, but managed to come back to this place for seconds. And I had another cone to myself.
