Lots of Options - Very Expensive

With lots of options for hot chocolate, many were suitable for vegans. The experience of mixing it yourself and adding your own flavours was also very fun. However, you can only order one type of plant milk per table (so if one person wants oat and another soy they won’t do that) and it’s a whole extra €2 for plant milk which is an excessive surcharge.

Pros: Lots of variety for chocolate , Lots of options for flavour , Full of character and atmosphere

Cons: Only one type of plant milk per table , Won’t split the bill for groups , Very expensive for what you get

Amazing hot chocolate

Beautiful little hot chocolate cafe, but it's a popular spot so do plan your time - we probably queued for over 30 minutes to get in.

A selection of dark chocolate and plant milks which come in a big mug with a whisk to beat your chocolate drops in to to melt. Even the little cup they come in is meltable! Very lovely experience. I had the sweet dark which was rich and not at all bitter. Delicious!

Very nice staff but no vegan food

The place looks charming and the chocolate is great. 2€ vegan tax for the milk in 2025 is terrible though!
The waitress was great and very apologetic that there was no vegan food.
It's a good experience but go with the knowledge you're only gonna get hot chocolate (which is great already).

Pros: Sweet staff, Great chocolate

Cons: No vegan food

So comforting

50-ish% (sweetest option) dark chocolate 8€ oat milk 2€ (🙄)

First I went in the afternoon but they were fuuulll, then 45min before closing I still got a table. The interior is so cozy.

You receive warm milk and get to choose how much chocolate you want to mix in it. You even get complimentary little bars as a snack on the side.
Only thing that annoys me is TWO extra euros for plant milk. Cmon...

highly recommend!

Lots of different variations of chocolate, with lots of different types of milk to pair it with to make your hot chocolate. Staff are really helpful with knowing what is and isn't vegan. Portion size for the DIY hot chocolate is massive - highly recommend !

woah

Stopped by for a quick drink on the back to our hotel. Portions for hot chocolate was big and worth the price. Vegan milk easily labeled.

Sweet staff, lacking in options

They didn’t know whether they had vegan chocolate, so we just had coffee with oat milk. If we had the money, we would have tried one of the hot chocolates, veganized- I bet they would be amazing!

2 € extra for vegan milk :/

The hot chocolate is good but very expensive on it's own and for plant based milk you need to pay 2€ on top. The cookies and chocolates that are served with it are not vegan. The milk chocolate and white chocolate options are not vegan either. Also one consumption per visitor is mandatory except for children.

Great hot chocolate experience

Fun and tasty Belgian hot chocolate experience, all the dark chocolates on the menu were vegan however contrary to previous reviews the waitress told us none of the milk chocolates were vegan (“because it’s in the name😅”). You could choose between hot oat, almond, and soya milk but these were an extra €1.50.

Pros: 3 different vegan milks to choose from, Cosy atmosphere , Big portion size

Cons: Have to pay extra for the vegan milk, May have to queue outside if busy

Great vegan hot chocolate

Several choices of chocolate - all the dark ones and a mylk. Three plant milks on offer. Would recommend Costa Rica chocolate with coconut milk - much thicker than their house blend dark chocolate. Beware little biscuits are not vegan - my veggie husband had those.

Pros: All dark chocolate choices are vegan, Mylk chocolate available , 3 plant milk choices

Cons: Biscuits are not vegan so ask to be removed, Extra cost for plant milk

Authentic hot choc experience, wish it were fully vegan !

There are about 6 dark chocolate options (all vegan) and 1 dairy free milk chocolate options to choose from. You then combine with a mug of hot plant milk (soy, coconut or almond) and whisk in the chocolate until it is melted. A wonderful experience and I bought some of the Costa Rican chocolate discs for myself!

They make you pay an extra €1.50 for plant milk. Which is pretty pricey, hopefully they will go vegan in the future.

The tea room is very busy at peak times and you will have to queue to get in if there are no seats available. But well worth it whilst in Bruges!

Cozy Choc Retreat

Out of all the chocolate tearooms in Bruges (and there are many!) I would recommend visiting the Old Chocolate House the most.

The preparation of the Chocolate is one of a kind and had been our little highlight of the day.

You can choose from an adequate variety of different chocolates and if that's not sweet enough for you, there are even toppings like salted caramel or whipped cream to add on top.

You then get the chocolate chips and toppings in a small chocolate cup, dump it into the hot plant milk and stir the hell out of it.

Our chocolate with the salted caramel topping had been way too sweet - so you may want to keep that in mind when ordering.

The Aztek one though had the perfect combination of sweet and spicy with a touch of cinnamon.

One cup can be quite filling though. I used all of the chocolate chips and couldn't finish drinking my hot chocolate in the end. Also, the milk hadn't been hot anymore when I got my serving. Which was a downer I should've reported but I was way too excited about the choco to pay it any mind.

The atmosphere and the intérieur had been on point and is a highlight in itself.

Nice place

The Café is in the first Story above the Shop. All the dark hot chocolates are vegan if you order them with a plant based milk (Soja, almond and coconut).
Unfortunately the tables outside are only for take away and there are no vegan options available.
Friendly staff.

Pros: vegan options are possible , Cosy Cafe

Cons: For me to busy and to limited space , Not enough fresh air for me

Cute shop, nice options

Essentially any of the dark chocolate options on the hot chocolate menu are vegan. We ordered two classic darks with almond milk and they were very tasty. They do charge €1.50 for plant milk per cup though which was a bit nuts. Two hot chocolates came out to €11. Was a nice treat to have once.

Cons: 1.50 for plant milk...

Not really impressed

Well, I guess that most other reviewers didn't have had a hot chocolate made out of real chocolate before in their life - otherwise, I really don't understand why they are so impressed by this place.
Don't get me wrong - it is a good place to warm up, the hot chocolate is alright (but not more than that). You can get the same or better results if you prepare this at home (using your favourite chocolate, even more than they give you, and your favourite milk or just hot water).
They also served me a non-vegan free biscuit even though I clearly indicated that I am vegan...

Awesome hot chocolate

Very unique way of serving the hot chocolate; in a chocolate cup full of chocolate chips which you can put in your hot milk in total. Choose from soy, almond, coconut or oat milk. Would recommend to anyone! It's expensive but the portions are huge.

Pros: Almost all drinks on the menu can be made vegan

Cons: Sides are not vegan (maybe the piece of chocolate), Pricy

Delicious hot chocolate with a twist

Never had hot chocolate presented in this way before! The soya milk was warmed first and it was served with dark chocolate buttons in a dark chocolate cup! You drop the buttons in, stir and voila! It was beyond good! My only regret is not getting a photo, they kindly charged my phone in the kitchen while we were there. I found Bruges to be difficult for vegans so I recommend to go there even more! Enjoy.
