We got a little box, filled it with the chocolates we chose, and off we went to try them. We weren't really impressed. The apple one pretty but really sweet. Gingerbread was ok. Coffee was the favorite as it tasted like a latte and didn't kill you with sugar. There were no chili or other spicy chocolates offered, which was something we enjoy. Imagine our surprise when The Chocolate Line came up as the number one store in every review I read. Due to this we returned to try other items in case we missed what made them so popular. Nothing was memorable. We actually preferred items from 2 other local shops listed in the top reviews. We're not certain if we selected the wrong options or if we have pedantic chocolate taste buds.

I would have liked to have purchased items from Dumon but the shop was quite small, so when a group…read moreof several tourists planted themselves in front of the door it was awkward to have to edge my way inside. I quickly chose a couple pre bagged candies and intended on buying a few chocolates as well but the tourists were still planted in front of the door, constantly changing their mind, asking for additional things, getting confused, asking more questions, wanting additional things, then getting confused again. I waited quite a bit for them and when they decided to add in more items (which they were confused about again) I finally called it and put everything back, having to edge around them again to push my way out. I'd like to see Duman add in a second associate for the back counter, ask customers to keep the doorway clear, and if the guest is unsure of what they want and there's a line, move on to the next customer and give them time to think about it. In all in, with the current shop setup I don't think I'll be back.

The owner takes a lot of pride in her product and runs a no nonsense business that is amazing. Sure you can go some some fancy "foo foo" places and pay more for your chocolate but I always end up filling my suitcase to take stuff home from here. You are likely visiting the Church of the Holy Blood when in town so why not just stop next door to grab some awesome chocolate. Dit is mijn "go to spot" in Brugge of eigenlijk België. Ze hebben uitstekende chocolade en zeer redelijke prijzen. Ze hebben het meestal behoorlijk druk, maar staan ​​altijd klaar om te helpen. De eigenaar is erg trots op haar product en runt een no-nonsense bedrijf dat geweldig is. Natuurlijk kun je naar een paar chique "foo foo" -plaatsen gaan en meer betalen voor je chocolade, maar ik eindig altijd met het vullen van mijn koffer om spullen mee naar huis te nemen. Je bezoekt waarschijnlijk de Kerk van het Heilig Bloed als je in de stad bent, dus waarom stop je niet gewoon naast de deur om wat geweldige chocolade te pakken.

The concept is very interesting, they serve the chocolate separately, and you add it to a cup of hot milk and stir it yourself. The first floor is a chocolate shop where you can browse and purchase a variety of chocolates, while the café is upstairs on the second floor. They also have outdoor seating if you prefer to enjoy your drink outside. The ambience is warm, cozy, and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a chocolate break. The service was a bit slow, but it was definitely worth the wait. Overall, the Costa Rica hot chocolate was our favorite. It was slightly sweet with a light creamy taste. The Hazelnut Praline was much too sweet for our liking, and the Ecuador wasn't as smooth as the Costa Rica. We enjoyed the Costa Rica chocolate so much that we ended up taking home four bags. It was the perfect souvenir and a delicious reminder of our visit. :)

I got the caramelized, dried orange covered with chocolate, the hazelnut rocher truffles and another chocolate I don't remember the name of.

I couldn't choose which one was better because both were so satisfying I would definitely return to buy boxes of just the two!
