Visited during December 2023 While heading to visit the Windmills, we stopped by this great little chocolate factory shop. We were surprised by the quality chocolate prepared in this place, which was made in the back kitchen, of the little factory as the owner suggests. We tried the hot thick chocolate and some of the nicely prepared chocolates, which were delicious and tasty. The place is cozy and the owner was so friendly. Thanks to the owner and his kind explanation. I recommend visiting the place and grabbing good quantity of his quality chocolates. Hope to see you in the next chocolate exhibition and at Abu Dhabi and Dubai exhibitions.

Cute little place that sells a lot of different chocolate related products. All the way from chocolate powder to cocoa nibs and even. Cocoa butter shampoo, face masks and chocolate tea. Vegan options available. Friendly staff too! Just a pity that there was nothing you could try on the spot before buying.

Lovely shop. I just wished they had more space to sit there and drink coffee or a hot chocolate. The sweets there were great. Hot chocolate as well however the whipped cream tasted kinda cheap. Nevertheless, it's still worth to go and try their chocolate.

A small chocolate shop with delicious food! The chocolate lemonade is divine and the hot chocolate is so tasty! The chocolate is local and you can also buy other chocolate in the store. 100% recommended!!!

First of all Great service Man I worked this job almost 13 years in my life so this is a real compliment , patience and very kind with a guest, so Thanks. Second Perfect place to drink chocolate and relax , take some retro picture, ambient is amazing, if you a pedestrian rest here before windmills.

This place serves amazing hot chocolate and the owner is very warm and friendly! The ambience was great as well! 🍫☕️ Cheers!

This cute little shop is right across the bridge from the windmills. Perfect spot to recharge on chocolates, homemade baked goods, and coffee. They sell local chocolates, as well as some soaps and lotions (don't eat those).

Smells Like Chocolate is the name of this establishment. It's a lovely boutique that sells everything chocolate. If you're here, though, I urge that you order warm chocolate since it will make you forget your name. Of course, I'm speaking metaphorically, but it's worth a go. A social media-worthy location that you'll enjoy. If you go to Zaanse Schans- A Windmill Village, you'll notice this establishment because it's often crowded. If you're lucky, you can sit by the tiny table inside and be cosy while conversing with friends or enjoying the atmosphere.

Another nice shop on the way , come across wonderful products .

A small chocolate cafe with very nice owner. I would recommend a hot chocolate drink, they do have oat milk options as well.

A cute little shop with the best hot chocolate in the area. They have a lot of items that you can take as a gift for your family members, including the chocolate powder they use to make those delicious drinks. The family is very warm and welcoming, very friendly and can give you little insights about Zans. The two times I have been two Zans, I have visited them always and they always welcome with a happy face.

It does

So amazing chocolate! I just occasionally came in after visiting the museum. Very beautiful wrap and unbelievable taste! Soft and full of almond! The level of sugar is the best!!!! I’m regretting purchasing only 3 tastes…

Very friendly staff. Good vintage decoration of the store. You walk out of the store and it really smells like chocolate! 🍫You just wanna get inside and taste some! I wish I come back there and visit again this cafe.🤤

Good food and reasonable price but food arrived a bit on the cold side

Kinito was really charm and nice. And chocolate great!! You have to make a stop here

Nice place, nice people, delicious hot chocolate.

Best chocolate ever and you must try their brownie. The man on the counter is a gem of a person with a beautiful heart. Also, the lady makes the chocolates with her special recipes. You must stop here and buy these amazing chocolates.

Such a great chocolate experience, it is so so tasty and the smell of chocolate can be sensed from far away. Great place to serve a cold or chocolate. The staff is really friendly and they invite you in the kitchen.

Beautiful place inside and out with friendly service! Delicious hot chocolate and the smell is amazingly tasty! Variety of chocolates packaged and for on the spot.

(Translated by Google) Owner has so much passion and delicious chocolate milk! (Original) Eigenaar heeft zo veel passie en heerlijk chocolade melk!

Discovered this beautiful shop on my last vacation in the region. The chocolate there tastes fantastic. You can feel the difference between industrial-made chocolate and handmade chocolate. In addition to the diverse selection of chocolate bars, they offer a wide-ranging selection of products related to cocoa and chocolate. During my visit to the shop, I discovered cocoa fruit juice which I find delicious. Besides the selection of goods, you can have a friendly chat with the shop owner about the products and their production. In total, I recommend this shop to everyone who likes chocolate and wants to expand their knowledge.

Wow! Just wow. The owner was such a nice man who took the time to talk to us about his history in starting this shop. The store is amazing and full of interesting things. But the chocolate.... He is a true artist. Everything we purchased was like an angel kissed my tongue. I have tried lots of whiskey infused chocolates before, this one was the first where you could actually taste the whiskey and it blended so perfectly with the chocolate, I wish I had bought more.

Not to be missed! Their chocolate and coffee is simply AMAZING. The lady there is very knowledgeable and she told us a lot of interesting facts...it's just before going on the bridge to the village, less crowded, lots yummier.

I really enjoyed the hot chocolate here with a shot of Expresso. The gentleman who assisted me was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come here again and will dream of the hot chocolate! The building itself is old and unique. I particularly loved the old fire place with purple and white tiles!

Highly recommended!! Best hot chocolate ever, we ordered stroopwafle and hot chocolate it was very delicious. . The staff was very kind and helpful, our clothes was wet from the rain and he gave us a dryer.

Cute cafe with friendly atmosphere and charming smell of chocolate. There is also a small chocolate manufacture. A lot of interesting foods.

Found this place on way back to Zaandijk train station. Amazing chocolates and very kind host. Great stop for hot chocolate in cold & windy Netherlands. Totally recommend!

Oh my goodness!! Run dont walk to this beautiful chocolatier in their gorgeous 1648 shop. We ordered everything chocolate and look forward to having some handmade chocolates sent back to the United States when cooler temperatures make it more reasonable. Gracious business owners making incredible chocolates.

Loved this chocolate store! Lovely place and lovely people 🥰 Great food and drinks and we also had a lovely surprise because the owner talked Portuguese and give us great tips about what to visit. So, if you are in town, don't miss this small cozy paradise for chocolate lovers!

(Translated by Google) Very nice cozy and cozy delicious hot chocolate and banana bread (Original) Erg leuk knus en gezellig heerlijke warme chocolademelk en bananen brood

I am a chocolate fanatic and have tried many different types and shops of chocolate and this shop has to be one of the best in the world. The diversity of products offered, the philosophy behind their products and the lovely people who run the shop, make it such a great experience for any chocolate lover. I highly recommend coming for a visit, more than once!

Cozy place to take a cup of coffee and chocolate as well. I really love the vibe of this place.

Great little shop . their home-made ice cream & brownie are fantastic n delicious.

If u have some free time visit this store, u won't regret it. The iced chocolate was fantastic and we tried some spicy chocolate aswell

This place is a must, when visiting the windmiles of Zaandam, we were greeted by a wonderful lady, the chocolate tastes special and authentic, you can take a hot pure chocolate, buy cacao, chocolate bars from different countries and seeds, the shop is cozy and it feels like home.

Amazing place, service and products.

The best coffee in Holland! Really friendly place and great coffee and chocolate milk. The browny was also tasty. I bought some presents there. Chocolate from Tanzania and this amazing white chocolate with fennel seeds. Try it. You will not be disappointed.

(Translated by Google) Cute little shop where you can also enjoy a nice coffee. They make the chocolate themselves! (Original) Schattig winkeltje waar je ook kan genieten van een lekkere koffie. De chocolade maken ze zelf!

(Translated by Google) Delicious chocolate products! (Original) Heerlijke chocolade producten!

(Translated by Google) Delicious handmade chocolate. The owner is very enthusiastic, although a bit ridiculous. (Original) 好吃的手工巧克力。店主很热心，虽然有点话痨。

Amazing chocolate (home made chocolate), wonderful coffee and friendly service :)

(Translated by Google) Great, old house of my grandfather and grandmother. Got a tour. Enjoyed it, thank you (Original) Geweldig, oude huis van mijn opa en oma. Een rondleiding gekregen. Genoten, dank je wel

(Translated by Google) I often put 5 stars but this place really deserves them. The hot or cold chocolate is really delicious, the setting is super nice. There are all kinds of homemade chocolate. Also, the person who greeted us was very friendly and sympathetic. (Original) Je mets souvent 5 étoiles mais cet endroit les mérite vraiment. Le chocolat chaud ou froid est vraiment délicieux, la cadre est super sympa. On y trouve du chocolat fait maison en tout genre.

Good vibes and selection of chocolate. Service was great and I have no complaints. Make a stop over on your visit to the Zaanse Schans windmills!

(Translated by Google) Delicious chocolate on the low dike near the bus stop. (Original) Heerlijke chocolade op de lage dijk vlak bij de bushalte.

(Translated by Google) Very friendly service. (Original) Heel vriendelijke bediening.

A very good place to stop by and take a sit a while before or after visiting Zaanse Schans. The hot chocolate is worth to try.

(Translated by Google) For signature the service is intended to be non-static or available. The picture shows how differently con la quale ci ha trattato. Sbadigliava e non ci ha portato nemmeno le salviette. The biscotto is a distinctive and immaculate flavor of the calda caloccolata in tazza sapeva di nulla. Molto caro per il servizio che ti offre. Peccato perché il posto è carino. For the lady at work, it might not have been her best day. From the pictures of other customers we see the difference we faced. He didn't even bring us a paper towel. The chocolate biscuit was old and not eaten and the hot chocolate tasted as if you were drinking water. Very expensive for the service it offers. Too bad because the place is nice. (Original) Per la signora al servizio forse questo non è stato il suo giorno migliore. Dalla foto si vede la differenza con la quale ci ha trattato. Sbadigliava e non ci ha portato nemmeno le salviette. Il biscotto al cioccolato era vecchio e immangiabile e la cioccolata calda in tazza sapeva di nulla. Molto caro per il servizio che ti offre. Peccato perché il posto è carino. Για την κυρία στην υπηρεσία, ίσως δεν ήταν η καλύτερη ημέρα της. Από την εικόνες άλλων πελατών βλέπουμε τη διαφορά με την οποία μας αντιμετωπίσαμε. Δεν μας έφερε ούτε μια χαρτοπετσέτα. Το μπισκότο σοκολάτας ήταν παλιό και δεν τρωγόταν και η ζεστή σοκολάτα άγευστη, σα να έπινες νερό. Πολύ ακριβό για την υπηρεσία που προσφέρει. Κρίμα γιατί το μέρος είναι ωραίο.

(Translated by Google) Stop here after admiring the mills, especially if you need to relax. The owner knows a few words in Italian, kind and nice. (Original) Fermatevi qui dopo aver ammirato i mulini, soprattutto se avete bisogno di relax. Il proprietario conosce qualche parola in italiano, gentile e simpatico.

The best hot chocolate I ever had! A very nice cafe, they make hot chocolate and coffee too. You can also buy the hot chocolate mix and some hand made chocolates too. The staff is really nice!

Stunning little cafe. You can try the best hot chocolate here, and sit with owner and chat. Also can buy many coaco items. I bought the marmalade!!! Stunning on my toast when I got home

(Translated by Google) The tastiest hot chocolate and lots of treats. Nice historic building and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!! (Original) De lekkerste warme chocolademelk en heel veel lekkernijen. Mooi historisch gebouw en een gezellige sfeer. Een echte aanrader!!

(Translated by Google) Cute place and welcoming, the black kid friendly to the chest. (Original) Posto carino e accogliente, il ragazzo di colore alla cassa gentilissimo.

(Translated by Google) A charming place with a wonderful drink waiting, cakes and delicious coffee. Very nice service. There are also chocolate body care products from Ziaja 🤣. I would recommend. (Original) Urocze miejsce z cudowna czekalada do picia, ciastami i pyszna kawą. Obsługa bardzo miła. Są też czekoladowe produkty do pielęgnacji ciała firmy Ziaja 🤣. Polecam.

The hot chocolate is perfect, it is a must to give a try in cold weather

Beautiful small chocolate shop. It smelled amazing, we were going to visit Zaanse Schans and passed by, entered and decided we would come back later for a chocolate drink. It really catches you!!! The shop has a unique energy. Of course, all of the chocolate is amazing, so many different varieties with different cacao origins, nice cold shakes you can drink during summer (it was our case), and hot chocolate looked and smelled amazing too. Little treats and chocolate sweets looked really good too (it was hard to choose, but we ate chocolate raspberry bonbons, incredibly good!!!). You can also buy chocolate in different ways to go, or as a present (I bought a piece of Gouda cheese with chocolate, sounds weird maybe but it is truly great!). Amazing service, they are the nicest people ever! They even could speak Spanish and Portuguese apart from English and Dutch, gave us guidelines for the village, recommended what to get to eat, and information. If I ever go back, I will make sure to pass by again. I definitely recommend to try it!!!!

Perfect name
