I received a box of these as a gift tonight and they are the best chocolate truffles I've ever had. One was goat cheese with a fruit paté covered in dark chocolate and sprinkled with walnuts on top. It was like a small bite of heaven. The raspberry balsamic and tiramisu magic as well. read more

Ok, I just had the difficult job of pairing wines and the amazing truffles from Brugge. Seriously, it was very tough work. ;) The owner is a professionally trained chocolatier, and her work is mind blowing. Apricot with lavender? Pear with pink peppercorn? Pistachio with cardamon? I got to try quite a few, and I cannot wait to try more. While they aren't cheap, you don't need a lot to be satisfied. Seriously, I am in love with this place and if you are in the eastside area, run... don't walk here. read more

I must say, I agree wholeheartedly with Linda Grayson who said, "There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE." Doing my duty to be that very good friend, I popped into "Brugge Chocolates" in Redmond ( right across the parking lot from my 5-star favorite, Trader Joes!). Imagine my delight! After all, this is a person who spent over $60 worth of Chocolate in Belgium this summer. Stiff competition exists in the Chocolate category " Oh Chocolate!" is still my favorite. But the Marco Polo infused with Earl Grey Tea and the Limoncello are very good. Their Pistachio Marzipan was good, but not potent enough with the Almond flavor I crave. Suggested wine pairings are offered right there in the store. Picked up a cute little Chocolate cell phone for a business gift. Pumpkin and Egg Nog are the current seasonal varieties. read more

In my opinion the chocolates here are some of the best in Seattle. Their product is much more refined than most of the other chocolate chain options out there, with gorgeous flavors like Bananas Foster (my personal fav), Limonchello, and salted caramel. Hand dipped chocolate fruit (like apricots) and peels are also worth visiting for (in fact, I was there just today to buy chocolate dipped ginger). I personally don't care for more mainstream chocolates like the sort you find at Oh! Chocolates... those pieces are too large, the flavors are too separate from the shells, and they're too obviously sugary. Brugge is the exact opposite... smaller bites of perfectly blended, fresh flavors. Since I've been going to Brugge, the owner has bothered to learn my name and my favorite flavors, she is more than generous in offering full samples of her products that I might not have tried yet, and I appreciate that the chocolates are literally hand crafted right there behind the shopfront. Don't expect the chocolates here to be dirt cheap (you don't get quality products like this for pennies), but it's a treat worth the investment and, after trying every other chocolate producer in the Seattle greater area, I can honestly call Brugge my favorite. Go buy some chocolate and enjoy! read more

My generous, love of my life, has treated me to some amazing combination boxes of Brugge Chocolates for occasions such as my birthday, Valentines Day and some of those "just because" occasions (where I know he's the one who actually is craving chocolate). I have not once, been dissapointed! Though I've never actually stepped foot in Brugge Chocolates, I find the flavor and presentation of the chocolates absolutely divine. A box never lasts more than an hour! My ultimate favorite is the dark chocolate caramel. Even though I hate dark chocolate with a passion and am not big on ever mixing sweet and salty in one bite, these chocolates were heavenly! I look forward to my birthday in December because I'm hoping (knock on wood) that he will remember to stop by Brugge Chocolates for my favorite box! read more

So good I did a tasting with wine at North west wine cellar and I loved them all. I bought a box and in one sitting I ate them all so yummy!!!! read more

I've been waiting for this place to open. There are not too many chocolatiers in Redmond, so I am happy that they are finally open! They have beautiful truffles with some interesting flavours. Apparently, this place just opened up not too long ago, so I didn't feel that everything was quite in place. However, the two ladies who worked there were very courteous and knowledgeable of their products. I'll definitely go back there to get more chocolate! read more

Pricey but worth it. I grew up in the Benelux(Belgium/Netherlands/Luxembourg area)... this tastes exactly like the Belgian chocolates that I used to get. The best chocolate I ever had in my life was from a chocolate shop in Brugge, so imagine my surprise when I find a store called Brugge Chocolates. I get nostalgic and pig out when I go to this store. I have to fight so hard because I go to Trader Joe's every week for groceries. read more

Wow! This is so goooood chocolates! I had Salted Caramel, Earl Grey, and praline feuilleté. They all were just melting in my mouth and absolutely delicious!! We were there on Sunday and usually they are closed. However, the owner was working on some big project in the store so she let us in. She was very kind and such a nice lady. Although they are a bit expensive, I would definitely go back there. (1 star off for the price.) read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. Today I was going to grab lunch and then some chocolates as a gift for tonight. I wanted to eat first and then shop. I parked in the spot marked for Brugge Chocolates since that was my last stop and a very rude lady came out and scolded me for parking in "her spot". I explained that I was eating and then coming in for a gift (my friends favorite). She yelled you aren't coming in my store. You are right, I am not coming in your store now or ever. I will have to run to Bellevue to get some Fran's for my friend. read more

the Hazelnut milk chocolate was luscious!!! my first time at Brugge... loved the Pistachio Marzipan and the hand made Fruit squares. Not too sweet and true to the delicious French Chocolate I have eaten in Paris. The wine selection is superb...can't wait to go back. Thanks Susan for the luxury! read more

Little place across from Trader Joe's, easy to miss. The quality of the chocolates is divine. And as my boyfriend says, that's a word I don't usually use. The word "Good" just didn't fit. We bought an assortment of , limoncello, pistachio and cardamon. We were also given a sample of the pear and one with Earl Grey. Both of which were really good. Yes, you are going to pay more for these little morsels, flavors are subtle, but they are definitely a standard above Godiva or Dilletante. The owner was gracious, helpful and friendly. I am sorry to see a negative review that threw in the word racism (Really had to go there?). Totally not the case for us and I'm not white. I also like the fact I can support our local independently owned businesses in Redmond. read more

I ordered chocolates to be delivered to a relative in a nearby hospital. Since I didn't get to eat the chocolates, I can't speak to the quality of the product. But I was super-impressed with the service. The owner delivered the box directly to my cousin's room. She didn't let it go through regular delivery because of the heat in Seattle - really not good for chocolates. The cousin says they're delicious. read more

I'm just baffled by the bad reviews that people have written here! My husband and I are huge into chocolate and this place is by far our favorite. We like it better than Frans and Godiva. It's the best chocolate I've ever had! The chocolate is creamy and velvety smooth. They have fantastic flavors! Some of our favorites: Earl Grey, Praline, Orange Thyme, and Salted Caramel. It's worth every dime! When we were in there today, we met a couple who told us they came to the store every week to purchase a box of 12! I can't believe someone accused them of being racist! Totally an inappropriate comment. The owner helped us out today and she was the sweetest, nicest person I've ever met! We're of Asian descent, so I definitely don't think she was racist!! She cut up two types of truffles for us to sample and patiently explained all of the flavors to us. She helped us for a good 15-20 minutes. We were being indecisive and she was so sweet about it! She also told us a story about how she acquired one of the recipes while studying under a Belgian chocolatier. How cool is that?! I told my husband that this is the only chocolate I want for special occasions from here on out! read more

I enjoyed every piece that I got. I loved the salted caramel one and surprisingly was not as much of a fan of the plain dark chocolate. The chocolates had a nice crunchy shell and a soft inside. The packaging was lovely and the people were nice. My boyfriend said they gave him a sample to try too. I will definitely be back. read more

Wow. This may be the best thing you will ever eat. Until I came here, I thought See's were high end chocolates... See's are great, but there's simply no contest - it's like going from Red Robin, to the Herb Farm. The quality and craftsmanship that go into these creations are unbelievable. My wife works for a private invesment firm, and they've send these chocolates as gifts to million dollar investors. They're that good! read more

Popped in today for the first time after lunch (as my sweet tooth was a calling). Anyhow, I am so happy I stopped by - what a sweet little chocolate shop! (see what I did there?) Moving on. I believe the owner was working when I popped in. She could not have been nicer! She answered all the questions I had about their products. My friend LOVES orange and chocolate and though I do not agree with this terrible life choice, I do like to see my friend happy so I picked him up a chocolate covered orange slice. Two thumbs up & rave reviews from my pal. I purchased a couple small truffles (approx $2 each) and man are they tasty! Just the right amount of chocolate to take care of those pesky cravings. I think I may have found my new go to place when I need a quick hostess, birthday, thank you, or special occasion gift. See you again soon! read more

So happy to finally have a chocolate shop in Redmond! And no, Sees Candies does NOT count. Very pretty shop and amazing chocolates. They were a bit on the more expensive side. Looking forward to watching this shop grow. read more

This place has the best chocolate I've ever had. Their pistachio truffles are the best! The owner is so friendly and kind.

The chocolate here is amazing. I paid $2 for one piece and said," this better be good chocolate ". The assured me it was. I was not disappointed read more

This is not the type of review I want to write. But it should be written. I didn't get to taste the chocolates here. Me and my daughter happened to notice this new store in the strip mall when we were looking for gifts for my wife. I am a chocolate aficionado and haunt many such stores, our favorite being Fran's. We walked on in and browsed around. Stuff seemed laid out quite like Fran's. There was one lady behind the counter making small talk with a couple. We came around to the counter eventually to hand pick some truffles. The lady so far had not acknowledged our presence and continued to make small talk with the folks who were not really seeming to make a purchase. We stood there a few minutes and patiently waited. The lady did not as much as give us a look or said something like "be right with you". Then we left. Racist? Who cares, and in Redmond which is so diverse that may be bit of a problem for them. This is one place where I will not be back and don't really care how the stuff tastes! Way to lose a customer. There are many places that I like much better than this could ever be, close as it may be. read more

Amazing small artisan chocolate shop. Small batch chocolates with interesting flavors. Great experience for a date with my hubby.

These chocolates were not worth the drive to Redmond. They were very gritty and were stale. The flavors were so bizarre that I had a hard time finding something I wanted to try. I bought some of the ones with fruit on top and the fruit was hard. I also did not find the taste smooth like you would expect for the price. The shop is in a strip mall which is odd. Won't be back. read more

Not cheap, but these are the best chocolates I've ever had. Unique and constantly changing flavors. I love the sampler boxes because there are two of each flavor, great to share with someone special. When I want the tastiest nicest chocolates available to give as a gift, this is where I always go. Can't go wrong! read more

Me and my lady stopped in here a while back since it is right next to Trader Joe's. We get to Redmond a few times a year to visit relatives. What can I say. We are fans. This is GREAT Chocolate. Absolutely superb. I can't imaging anyone with taste buds not loving this place. Kudos to the Owner(s). You have a fantastic shop, and sell incredible premium chocolates. Keep up the GREAT work! WE SHALL BE BACK! read more

i actually signed up for Yelp right now in order to write this review. I was given a box of ten very overly priced pieces of chocolate. Of those chocolates, i was only even mildly satisfied with one. I don't like the texture of the fillings. One actually tasted like i was chewing pistachio flavored sugar. The chocolate that is used is too sweet. I consider it a waste of money because I don't think I'll be finishing any of the pieces that i tried. read more

The best chocolate in town! It's a little pricy but really worth it. My favorite are little orange peel sticks dipped in white chocolate. Susan, the owner, is very pleasant. read more

Independent chocolate shop - homemade chocolates. All keywords that get me excited. Plus, the additional bonus is the wine pairings that you can get at this little shop. The service was FANTASTIC. You are offered a sample upon entering the store. There are so many fantastic sounding flavors, its hard to choose just a few. We tried the flavors and we weren't fans of all of them. There were some flavors that were better than others. The coconut curry was good, the pear was a bit to perfumey flavored, the eggnog was good, the caramels were also good. The chocolates melt in your mouth and a perfect size. I like that they aren't super sweet. Oh, Chocolates is still my favorite as their flavors are consistently strong. But, this shop has alot of great things going for it. read more

Fantastic! The staff were warm and wonderful and the chocolate devine!

I've purchased chocolates and other items here for myself and as gifts, and I'm constantly impressed, and so are my recipients. I prefer subtle but rich taste, where I can tell the quality of the chocolate used is good and that the flavouring is made with care. I don't like something too sugary, and I want a small, appealing bite. Some of the flavours here are stunning; cardamom, orange thyme, praline, fleur de sel (amazing for such a simple and ubiquitous offering in chocolate shops), various liquor infused ones too, like Kahlua or Limoncello. There is always at least one chocolate being offered as a sample, which is nice, and Susan, the owner, is gregarious, knowledgeable and loves chocolate and if you want to try something else, they're happy to help. She's been professionally trained and I like her attention to detail; if it's sloppy chocolate it's a sample, and not sold. The apricots and oranges that are candied and dipped in chocolate... oh my God. They seem too decadent, but I can't get enough! Don't get me started on their pate de fruit... soft, full of flavour and topped with the right amount of sugar. I could become a glutton if I had unlimited access to them. You can eat mediocre chocolate because the flavour is just so unique, but when you have had good chocolate there's no mistaking it. No grittiness, good colour and depth, and a smaller bite satisfies because it's got the profile you're looking for. I don't go crazy on sweets, I do like chocolate, but here a little goes a long way because it's so good. The store is charming and immaculate, the people are helpful, the chocolate is made by a genuine chocolatier, the presentation of the pieces is straightforward and the packaging is simple and elegant. I'm glad I don't live closer, because it would definitely become a vice of mine! read more

His has become my go to shop in Redmond for gifts for friends and employees because everyone who tastes the chocolates are as amazed as I was the first time I found Brugges. My husband and daughter know were to go for gifts for Mothers Day, Valentine's Day and my birthday. My favorite is the raspberry balsamic truffle, but the chocolate candied orange slices are unbelievable. Superb, just keeps getting better. read more

This USED to be one of my fav chocolate places until recently. Not only do they charge way over what they should for a tiny $25 box of chocolates but they treat each and every customer differently ....I came in one day and was clearly treated unfairly (I did NOT get offered any samples...I did not get rung up when I had been waiting in line first..) I will NOT be coming here again and will not recomend them to anyone read more

Chocolates are delicious and beautiful This has become a regular stop for me when trying to find the perfect gift for just about anyone on my list read more

Great staff and inventive flavor ideas. Too bad the truffles don't taste like much. The lady behind the counter was friendly and patient with my questions, and even wrote down which chocolates I'd ordered after they didn't have a picture guide. She saved me from biting into a spicy chocolate thinking I was getting creamy ganache. Unfortunately, the truffles themselves were unimpressive. Most of the chocolates were extremely subtly flavored, or maybe just had sat on the shelf too long. A few that had fruit pate were flavorful, but I'm not a fan of the jelly texture. The liquor ones all tasted slightly rancid, and I ended up throwing them out. The only truffle I would go out of my way to get again is the Praline Feuillete, which tasted fresh and had an interesting texture with the dried crepes inside. read more

The prices of the chocolates may be on the high side, but so is the quality of the chocolates. To me it is totally worth it. I also like the atmosphere of the small shop, it's nicely decorated and I found the owner to be very friendly and helpful - she loves to talk about chocolates. Try the salted caramel chocolates, they are a favorite. read more

Great little place! Picked up an assortment of filled chocolates, fruit marmalades, dipped glazed apricots and chocolate dipped orange peels. Everything was just delicious! There was some kind of a truffle with white rum-spiked filling that was absolutely amazing and we also loved the balsamic-strawberry filled chocolates. The chocolate with rum-filled chocolates would just melt in your mouth, like "buttah"! LOL Dipped apricots were melt-in-your-mouth plump honeyed goodness dipped in velvety-smooth chocolate. The fruit marmelades were full of flavor and felt very sort of natural, with perfect balance of sweetness and tang. Packaging was very beautiful and the chocolate truffles themselves looked wonderful - some with gold dust, some with pistachio crumbs or with pretty designs. I have already given these chocolates as gifts and planning on buying more boxes for Christmas treats. read more

This store is a dream come true to the PNW! I almost did not write this because I wanted to keep it a secret! But here you are, the finest chocolats store in my experience in the USA. The chocolats are a reminder of my old country (France) and the store an amazing reminder of LADURÉE on Rue Royal in Paris. Chocolats, wine, decor, tapisseries, all done with exquisite taste and balance. The Maitre Chocolatier also ventures into intriguing concoctions with ginger, tea, sel de mer, etc. This is quite a gem! And now I say Adieu Fran! read more

I was excited when I heard 6 months ago of a Belgian chocolate shop in Redmond. Belgium is my idea of heaven with a hand made chocolate shop in very town. Brugge Chocolates could have been lifted from Belgium. The chocolates are delightful - not too sweet and each is filled with a distinctive flavor. This is chocolate to be savored. I cannot name a favorite: Candied Orange, Limoncello, Marco Polo, feuillete .... they are all wonderful. We have altered our routine to include a daily truffle and a weekly trip to Brugge. read more

Fresh made and ready in less than 24 hours for a last minute addition to my party, these ladies made it happen! All the guest loved the chocolate and caramel! read more

I was really looking forward this shop opening but left a little disappointed. I bought 10 varieties. Yes, they are a little expensive but I that doesn't bother me if it is worthy. Sadly, this was not. The chocolates were boring. The descriptions were elaborate but the flavor just did not translate. These are far from being the best in the PNW. I also felt that there are more tapestries on display than chocolate. I think too many people celebrate mediocrity. read more
