We tried a few pastries and their hot chocolate. Everything tasted and looked very good. The accompanying chocolates were great too. We were seated quite fast and got our order quickly too. But somehow, there was no "Happy" there. Its hard to explain. The staff was not friendly. It was full of tourists. Sort of a get in, eat and... More

We had walked past this little tea shop a couple of times, but as it was a little chilly we went in for hot chocolate. It was a self assemble affair - but it was incredible. Cup of warm milk, generous pot of the most gorgeous melted chocolate, whipped cream and selection of complimentary chocolates. It was to die for.... More

When we sat down we remembered it was the cafe we visited on our previous visit to Bruges a few years earlier. On that occasion there was a sign outside claiming the best hot chocolate in Bruges. It is a great place for coffee and sweets and you get some complimentary chocolates as well.

On a very cold April day we called for a hot chocolate. We where greated by friendly staff and a gorgeous roaring real fire. Our order of hot choc, scone and cream and jam for my husband and chocolate cake for me arrived very quickly even though the place was quite full. The hot choc came in 3 parts, cup... More

Have frequented this cafe on each of three visits to Bruges just for the hot chocolate! The apple cake is delicious, as is the chocolate cake - you get two big slices in a portion. It's always busy but the service is quick, friendly and efficient.

We enjoyed our chocolate drink with chocolates and a lemon cheese cake. The sugar rush kept us going all afternoon! Very busy but worth the wait.

We passed this cafe and realised that we had read good reviews about it so we thought it rude not to partake in a hot chocolate!! We ordered hot chocolate and scones. It comes as a cup of hot milk and then a small bowl with melted chocolate which you pour into the cup. It also came with 3 or... More

What a lovely place this is! Wish there were places like this in London. We went and sat in the back room which had a roaring fire going and sweet little candles lit everywhere. Had a wonderful do it yourself hot chocolate and cappuccino. All come with a selection of chocolates ( on the house!). Must visit this place just... More

We were attracted to this cafe when we saw the gas fire from a bitterly cold street. We were promptly seated by the server, thankfully beside the fire and ordered two of their specialty hot chocolates and a merveilleux dessert (meringue, cream and chocolate shavings - a heart attack on a plate!). Both hot chocolate and the dessert were great... More

We stopped there last Sunday morning and were pleased we did. I love the Belgium way of serving coffee with advocat and little tasters of cake and chocolates. We had a selection between us, which was plenty, and the tastes were sublime - chocolate mousse, advocat, raspberry roulle and lots of very nice chocolates....all very good. i had a latte,... More
