Lovely holiday window display drew us into Jeff de Bruges…read more They had a large case of individual chocolates as well as gorgeous pre-boxed chocolates. We selected a nice marzipan-filled milk chocolate log kind of thing & purchased a decorative box to bring back for family The marzipan log was okay - the almond flavor was very subtle & I am thinking the dark chocolate would have been a better pairing.....and they had that on offer so I'll put it to the test next time The decorative box never made it to the family - I just couldn't resist the cute houses, doggies and foiled chocolates in both dark and milk varieties. They were absolutely scrumptious & the milk chocolates in particular just melted in our mouths If seeking some nice Belgian chocolates to bring back as a gift ( or to indulge yourself ) you'll find a treat at Jeff de Bruges

Museum only, No tours [Waldenbuch, Germany]…read more We arrived a little early at the museum hoping to inquire about a tour (similar to the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield CA or the Tillamook Creamer in OR) but unfortunately it wasn't offered.
