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 owner takes a lot of pride in her product and runs a no nonsense business that is amazing. Sure you can go some some fancy "foo foo" places and pay more for your chocolate but I always end up filling my suitcase to take stuff home from here. You are likely visiting the Church of the Holy Blood when in town so why not just stop next door to grab some awesome chocolate. Dit is mijn "go to spot" in Brugge of eigenlijk België. Ze hebben uitstekende chocolade en zeer redelijke prijzen. Ze hebben het meestal behoorlijk druk, maar staan ​​altijd klaar om te helpen. De eigenaar is erg trots op haar product en runt een no-nonsense bedrijf dat geweldig is. Natuurlijk kun je naar een paar chique "foo foo" -plaatsen gaan en meer betalen voor je chocolade, maar ik eindig altijd met het vullen van mijn koffer om spullen mee naar huis te nemen. Je bezoekt waarschijnlijk de Kerk van het Heilig Bloed als je in de stad bent, dus waarom stop je niet gewoon naast de deur om wat geweldige chocolade te pakken.

I quickly chose a couple pre bagged candies and intended on buying a few chocolates as well but the tourists were still planted in front of the door, constantly changing their mind, asking for additional things, getting confused, asking more questions, wanting additional things, then getting confused again. I waited quite a bit for them and when they decided to add in more items (which they were confused about again) I finally called it and put everything back, having to edge around them again to push my way out. I'd like to see Duman add in a second associate for the back counter, ask customers to keep the doorway clear, and if the guest is unsure of what they want and there's a line, move on to the next customer and give them time to think about it. In all in, with the current shop setup I don't think I'll be back.

I got the caramelized, dried orange covered with chocolate, the hazelnut rocher truffles and another chocolate I don't remember the name of. The orange was amazing with the chocolate, and the way they caramelized it and covered it with the rich chocolate made it perfect. The rocher truffle was perfect, melt in your mouth goodness. I couldn't choose which one was better because both were so satisfying I would definitely return to buy boxes of just the two!

I consumed the ENTIRE box of assorted chocolates I purchased (that I had intentions of sharing with my husband.) They have a guild of Bruges Chocolatier seal outside their storefront that signifies high quality products handmade in Bruges. Therefore, you can rest assured that their chocolates are not imported. In addition, I did buy a chocolate mix for my husband and several sleeves of chocolates and a hot chocolate stirrer. They are definitely on the expensive side. However', their high quality taste made it all the worthwhile! The manager was very nice and they have a kitchen in house which is a good indicator that their chocolates are handmade and produced locally as they adhere to the Guild of Chocolatiers in Bruges. We were offered a tour of the kitchen, which I really wanted to do but we had to unfortunately decline because we were on a time constraint. There are a mass of chocolate shops in Bruges which I haven't tried, but I lucked out walking into theirs and i'm thankful! You can definitely taste the difference and that's a great thing!

Anything you may have heard about Belgian chocolate being the best of the best is true. Bruges is just one massive outlet for all this deliciousness. Having been here twice now I have my favorites. That should never stop anyone from walking into the various shops. The people here are fabulous and contrary to any stories you may have heard, the price of chocolate is very reasonable. Most of the items we bought were finished on the bus ride back to the Ship or on the ship for the remainder of our cruise. Unfortunately, not all items made it back in one piece but... still tasted great. For roughly €17 one can purchase a box containing a sampling of white, dark, and milk chocolates with plenty of choices. You can buy one piece or multiple pieces in any of the shops. All the teams of the shop are wonderful and willing to work with you to put together exactly what you're looking for. Bruges is a must visit if you're near the area and KUDOs to the team at Chocoladehuisje
