Neighbourhood: Centrum
Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe. Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring hardly more than a moment’s stroll away. With the well-connected Centraal Station as Centrum’s base, it's easy to travel farther afield via one of the city’s iconic trams.

We brought 11 college students to Amsterdam on a study abroad trip. Our first stop was here. We had a great tour! And of course, shopping for chocolate was fun! This is a great place to visit! We highly recommend it!

So enjoyed the enthusiasm and knowledge of the owner who gave us history and more of cacao....and couldn't resist going away with a couple of bars of very different dark chocolate.

This is really more of a glorified chocolate shop, where they give you a good 15 minutes talk on how to process cacao and make it into chocolate. It was interesting, and there is an amazing variety of chocolates from all over the world. Beware the ‘Best until’ dates, some of the bars I’ve purchased were somewhat beyond, and didn’t really taste good. The kids, however, liked the experience.

Dear Robicsek, thanks for your review. I hope that you liked the exposition on the world of cacao and chocolate. and the chocolate paintings. I am sorry to hear that you had a bar over the 'best until' date, I check it regularly, but apparently I overlooked it. When you'll visit Amsterdam again, I will give you a new one.
