What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Maison du Chocolat is praised for its luxurious ambiance and exquisite handmade chocolates and cakes, particularly its renowned thick drinking chocolate. While many enjoy the delightful pastries and the charming setting, some find the prices high and have encountered issues with payment methods or the quality of non-dessert dishes.
"This is a very civilised place to stop for a coffee and a cake or some kind of chocolate stuff, when you're footsore from tramping the streets of spacious Berlin. We were in the upstairs cafe. It was exquisitely done, comfortable, and the service was extremely good. A very luxurious experience."
Philip Durban
"❌ Overpriced
❌ Smoking is encouraged
⁉️ Only cash?!
✅ Great atmosphere
Do not skip the hot chocolate, that's the main reason you are here.
How annoying is that it costs 7.90€ and you only get a tiny cup, it kills the fun.
Whe we wanted to pay suddenly we are told that they only take cash..
they dont like cards or is there something else?
It is nice to sit outside when the weather is inviting.
Unfortunately in 2024, they have ash trays on every table to encourage smoking and people who wish to enjoy a nice atmosphere with fresh air can only hope to not have a smoker sitting next to them.
Luckily when we were there, nobody smoked."
