You cannot go wrong with a variety box where you pick out many pieces to your liking, right? That's what I ended up getting. What really stood out to me was their hot chocolate.

The lines to checkout are long so we ready to wait a bit. Chocolate: the lady assisting us behind the counter was sort of snotty when we said we only wanted 2 pieces of chocolate. We ordered 3 piece to try. The chocolates smells amazing but the taste does not live up to the smell. Yes they are beautiful. Yea the quality is good. Yes they smell amazing but the taste is lacking. The chocolate buildings of Berlin are impressive and I recommend to go and see these lovey buildings of Berlin made in chocolate.

Chocolates with all sorts of spices present themselves as an adventure for the tongue. They have even sugar free chocolate made from almost 100% cocoa. The prices are still moderate given the superb quality provided.

I explained that we were only photographing the chocolates, but she refused to believe me, repeating the same thing and asking if we were going to order. We ended up buying only two chocolates, which were amazing and tasted really good. The store was beautiful and well-organized, but we didn't feel welcome. We decided to go to another location where we were treated much better. I recommend trying another location.

They let you taste the different confections so you have some sense of what you might like. Personally I prefer the simple dark chocolate, as the other mixed ones were too sweet. That being said, I ate all my samples without complaint.

That's where we were headed when we found this shop and got sidetracked by chocolate tasting. Haha. Hazelnut is big in Europe and I love them for it Bc hazelnut is delicious. We sampled a few different pieces of chocolate in this shop and were given some freebies to taste. It's not cheap but it's good quality. Friendly staff and good packaging to keep your chocolates safe until you eat them. If you can wait that long.

I literally could not walk by this little whimsy without popping in for a slice of whatever was looking delicious that day. My only wish was that it was a bit larger - so I could sit there, have my cake and eat it too.

I was very embarrassed to discover that it is much more of a shop and less a cafe, the place was very busy and only has one table to sit at inside, so we were forced to sit outside while we had our drinks. My hot chocolate was enjoyable but unremarkable. I would like to point out that the cakes inside looked delicious and there is a very good selection of chocolate on offer too, just make sure you don't come along with too many friends!

Although Leysieffer bars ain't no Lindt, SPRÜNGLI, Teuscher, Godiva wannabee. Nope. Leysieffer bars are possibly the most original, differently well crafted chocolate bars I've had. How did I discover this place? German friends bringing these treats to LA. Leysieffer has been around since 1909. It is the primo source for classic German chocolate. Leysieffer is uber amazing chocolate in a different way and they take chocolate to another level. If you like bold flavors and bold chocolate up to 90% dark cocoa, unencumbered, come here. After you've had a bite you know there is a notable palate awakening quality that Leysieffer imparts to your chocoholic sensibilities. But wait that's not all, my favorite and amazing chocolate bars at Leysieffer are paired with things like Cardamom, Early Grey, Elderberry so good and unique. Fassbender & Rausch down the street is also really good chocolaterie but I find their products to be more museum type stuff, the flavors at Leysieffer however, are better evolved and crafted for the serious chocoholic. My favorites chocolate bars here are (check out the pix): Earl Grey (not available when I visited) Rosa Pfeffer (Pink pepper studded in chocolate) Meersala (coarse salt in medium and dark) Lavender Ginger Cardamom Elderberry Grapes Wasabi (half dark choc) White Chocolate with Chili (chile not chili powder) There are many other varieties of chocolate made here. This is some amazingly good chocolate, the ingredients time tested and flavors are invented here. On top of that, there are pralines, truffles, marzipan chocolates, all these can be ordered online, except for the freshly baked cakes and counter sweets. Leysieffer has 3 locations in Berlin and also the 6th Floor Food emporium at Kadawe (amazing, super amazing collection). The location on Friedrichstraße 68, is about 3 blocks from the Stadmitte U-bahn stop is also a cafe so can purchase a light lunch, cakes and coffee with chocolate. Soo fun an experience to come to a cafe and have chocolate from the source right there. I was here every other day. Berliners love their fine chocolate and Leysieffer rocks it! Hopefully you'll get to try it out when you make it to Berlin. ORDER Online: You can order online at http://leysieffer.de/englisch/home.html Tip: Their chocolate bars run anywhere from $5-$6 and SOOOOOOOO worth it. Service at the cafe or any eatery in Berlin is not like in the states. American Yelpers complain about service. I think this is true for all kinds of restos and cafes in Berlin . Waiters don't come to you every 5 minutes like in America. Berliners like to stay and sit for hours during a meal and when you're ready to order or for the check, wave at your waiter. Visits: 3 and 2 in Kadawe (Department Store).
