Came into Camondas Schokoladen - right off the Dresden Market Square and found a wide variety of…read morefrench & local, Saxon chocolates We selected some delicious, local marzipans! One was a sweeter variety & the other less so but both were equally delicious & would not hesitate to get both again! They also had a chocolate bar in the back where they were pouring drinking chocolate - we did not get to taste but promised ourselves a return visit! Plenty of seating right outside to enjoy the sun & afternoon.....be sure to make Camondas a stop on your agenda!

We were visiting Dresden, and just walking through the streets looking at the sights and the shops…read more Then we walked by a big window with the most amazing chocolate sculpture inside - we just had to go in! The store is filled with every type of chocolates imaginable, light, dark, white, prewrapped or in containers, or pick by the piece. The selection of truffles alone was to die for! It was an incredibly hot day when we were there, and we knew if we set foot outside with chocolate it would be a melted mess in minutes, so we had to restrain ourselves. We bought a selection of chocolate dipped caramels in different flavors - just enough for a quick snack, not enough to melt in our pockets! The works of art in chocolate displayed around the store were brilliant - stop in to see them if nothing else! Definitely make the effort to stop in!

We did not go to the restaurant so this is reviewing only the shop. It's insanely beautiful…read more Somehow it's listed in the Guinness Book as the most beautiful...not sure how much competition there is for beautiful dairy stores but it's covered, floor to ceiling, by 19th century Villeroy and Boch porcelain tiles (and somehow survived the bombings of WWiI). Go early! We were there ten minutes after opening, and there were already a dozen tourists taking selfies and photos. But it's a place of business - buy something! They have postcards for 1euro. Beautiful tote bags for 3 euros. They have a little drinks bar with fresh milk for 1 euro. They don't require you to buy anything but the people posing for portraits is annoying. I can only imagine how busy it gets later in the day.

Apparently the most beautiful cheese shop in the world, which is probably true. The decor was so…read morebeautiful and the shop was nice. It does small pretty funky in there though. The restaurant is upstairs and has a nice ambiance in there as well. It was hot though. They had a few options for cheese boards and we decided to get the regional cheese board. This was pretty good and some of the cheeses were really interesting. The dresdener cake was fluffy and pretty good. Trying it for the first time and it was kind of like a light and fluffy cheesecake with an egg cake inside. Not that sweet and also has a lemony flavor. The service was really friendly and quick. Our server was so nice. The restaurant was also definitely less crowded than the store which was pretty touristy.
