I was curious but hesitant since we were already in a rush. The group I was with encouraged me to go treat myself. Best. Impulse stop. EVER. Hotel Chocolat is a British chain of cocoa bar-cafés with locations all over the UK as well as in Denmark (here in Copenhagen), Japan, Hong Kong, and New York. And it does seem like they have different TYPES of locations? But modern, high-end feeling chocolate shop in the front and café in the back. It's set up with a clean design that's very photogenic/Instgramable. They have a variation of chocolates made from cacao beans from Ecuador to Indonesia and a café that serves all kinds of mostly chocolate-y drinks and desserts. And for all the jokes about me being obsessed with chocolate, everyone was pretty involved in browsing through this store. I got the "Ice Cream of the Gods", which is a very soft serve in a cone and the option for either a chocolate or a salted caramel drizzle. And it's so GOOD. Even my dad, who was skeptical about spending money on something so simple, said it was worth it after having a taste. Translated from Chinese, the consensus was that it you could really taste the milk, which made it sweetly rich rather than richly sweet. We also happened to be there between the times they were switching out samples, so we got to try the Billionaire Shortbread Chocolate Selector (caramel, cookies, and hazelnut) and a dark chocolate bit that I didn't get the name of. In hindsight, I deeply regret that I didn't get the Billionaire Sundae, a dessert based on their Billionaire Shortbread Chocolate Selector truffle. Overall, super nice and really wish we could have hung around longer, even sit down and try out more menu items. If nothing else, drop in for a free sample, but just from what I tasted, I'd say it's worth it to make this a short stop. It's definitely on my list for the next time I'm back in Copenhagen or even London. That ice cream just made me really happy...

I don't usually search out ice cream parlors and sweets shops. But, my wife insisted we had to go…read moreto this one. First impression was it was a high end chocolate shop. We bought some small samples and everybody ordered an ice cream. I would normally just take a few bites out of my wife's cone because I get nauseous after about half a cone. It's just too sweet and rich. But, she insisted on no sharing this time because she wanted the whole thing to herself. So, she ordered a rather large cone for me alone. They were right. It was not super sugary like other ice cream. The lady behind the counter said the only sugar came from the milk itself. I finished the whole cone without feeling like I'd just had a tub of butter/cream. We were only in town for a week, but managed to come back to this place for seconds. And I had another cone to myself.

I wasn't very excited to taste these, as I find marshmallows to be dense, chewy and close to flavorless. But these, these were delicious little creamy pillows of air. They were softer, less chewy than the typical American marshmallow. It was wonderful, the chocolate was perfect and well flavored. I really recommend this cute little shop!

Belgium and Switzerland get all the publicity, but Denmark is right there when it comes to quality chocolate. This stuff is like crack, but even better. I don't even know where to start. This Summerbird location is located in the middle of a farmers market, and given the fact that spring arrives late to this part of the world it's an indoor market (thank you Lord!). It's not cheap, but well worth the price. Bring a box (or two home like I did ) home and you will instantly be an all star gift giver.

I heard about this company 3 years ago on a Travel Channel show. It's a brand from Denmark that offers many different flavors of candy & chocolate coated black licorice in salty, fruity, sweet, and even spicy combinations. I ordered a boxed selection of 9 different flavors on Amazon just out of curiosity. We ended up loving them. All the flavors taste so natural. The passionfruit is my favorite. My husband likes the Habanero one. Well, now I can say that we have a new favorite. It's the limited edition Banoffee. The nice lady who greeted us offered samples. She said we could try any flavors that we wanted. We were already sold on our favorite Banoffee dessert one. The licorice is a little on the pricey side, but it's so worth it. The customer service here is fantastic! They know that people will buy it once they try it. These flavor combinations are so unique, and especially if you like licorice. We ended up seeing another location at the Westfield Center in the HafenCity district of Hamburg. It would be yet another opportunity for a last in-store purchase before heading back home. Don't pass it up if you happen to see one. It's worth trying even if you're not a fan of licorice. It's the combination of flavors that make it so special.

The fillings were nice (really nice, actually!) but the standout was the chocolate shell - flavourful and good quality, with a nice shine and snap, but more importantly it tasted so nice and melted well in my mouth. On the high end price-wise, of course, but great for a treat! The person working there was friendly and helpful, too.
