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.

The one that made us return is their take on crème brûlée but all of their hand-made delights will make your mouth water. Compared to US chocolates, these are very fresh-perhaps only days or even hours old-and not all that expensive given the quality. You can get little 4-piece or 9-piece boxes or larger collections. We got 2 small boxes of 4 plus a box with 250 grams (20-25 pieces), a bag of what looked like chocolate jelly beans (white/milk choc) and a steaming cup of rich hot chocolate to warm up all for a total of around $40. This felt like a great deal.

We tried the hazelnut praline and while it was tasty and the service was friendly it wasn't enough of a standout to purchase for us. To be honest I probably would have chosen a different flavor for the tour as it was slightly unmemorable. All that being said, it's good chocolate for the value so I would recommend stopping in if you're visiting Ghent.

The service was friendly and the shop was bursting with different gift boxes (mostly Smurf related) but their chocolate didn't stand out much to me. It was good, as all the spots on our tour were, but it didn't have that wow factor and was slightly unmemorable. It is very centrally located and a bit easier to shop in due to it's layout and size, so overall while they weren't my favorite I think it's easy to stop in here while visiting some of the other local chocolate shops and if the person you're buying for is a Smurfs fan this would definitely be the place to go.

We were attracted to all the different colors and smells. The lady behind the counter greated us and let us walk around and pick up different bundles. Then we walked up to the register and asked her to sample some of the chocolates behind the case. We tried two of them one that was filled with raspberry and the other one was filled with lilac. To my surprise the lilac one was by far my favorite. It was so unique and still sweet but not too sweet. I had never had something like that before. The raspberry one was delicious as well but I was not blown away by it because I had tried something like that in the past. I brought back two sets of the easter eggs for my family and the chocolate that you put into the milk to make hot chocolate for my neice and my nephew. My parents loved trying the different flavors of the easter eggs and I will report back on the verdict of the hot chocolate soon. Overall, great experience but mostly great chocolate. I will be dreaming about the lilac one forever.

We bought several different chocolates to bring home, and every one we've tried has been amazing. You can truly taste the quality and craftsmanship. Nothing about this shop feels mass-produced or overly commercial -- it feels personal, traditional, and genuinely local. The gentleman behind the counter was also incredibly pleasant, welcoming, and kind, which made the experience even better. With so many chocolate shops in Bruges, it can be difficult to know which ones are truly special. Chocolate Brothers absolutely stood out to us. If you're visiting Bruges and want wonderful Belgian chocolate from a shop that feels authentic rather than touristy or mass-produced, I highly recommend stopping here. We loved it and would absolutely return!

From what they had, I've seen more fun chocolate molding here than some other shops. They're a minute's walk from Onze Lieve Vrouw Brugge (Church of Our Lady Bruges) and Site Oud Sint-Jan, so it's a very convenient spot to pick up some chocolate souvenirs when visiting. You'll have to pack it a bit carefully though, as it's not packed to travel/fly very well. They are a chocolaterie and went into how they make their own chocolate. I found the number of shapes to differentiate flavors to be a lot of fun. They do things by weight, so heads up on that. Their chocolate rich, not to sugary-sweet, and delicious. If you decide to stop by, be aware that they may be a bit bustling. The two times we passed by the place before deciding to go in ourselves, there were a lot of people, so you'll have to make the decision whether or not you want to risk it if you're on the clock. And from the experience from the multiple families in our group, even when you think you've bought too much chocolate, it's not actually enough. The chocolate in Belgium is just that good. I would highly recommend buying from multiple stores to try different chocolates and chocolate treats, and this shop would be a place you wouldn't regret buying some at.
