    Excellent food and nice warm interior! We visited In Choc Gent for breakfast in August 2023 based on reviews. We got delicious food, quick precise service, and enjoyed nice interior and warm atmosphere! Overall we had an excellent experience! We highly recommend the place for a good breakfast right in the center of Old Gent! Food ordered: Small Breakfast Large Breakfast Salmon Toast with Egg Brussels Waffle with Mixed Fresh Fruit All dishes were delicious! Thank you!

    Very tasty but much too expensive. 1 waffle with 1 scoop vanilla ice cream for 8,50€ and 1 small lava cake with 1 scoop vanilla ice cream for 12€ is really outrageous. Location is decorated really cute and the staff friendly. ------ Sehr lecker, aber viel zu teuer. 1 Waffel mit 1 Kugel Vanilleeis für 8,50€ und 1 kleiner Lavakuchen mit 1 Kugel Vanilleeis für 12€ ist echt unverschämt. Location ist richtig süß eingerichtet und das Personal freundlich.

    Saw a very good review for this cafe, and mentioned in almost all blog recommending the best place to eat waffle in Belgium. Located in a very beautiful spot in the city of Gent, just infront of a castle. We were lucky enough to get a table in front because this cafe never gets quiet. We ordered their hot chocolate and waffles. Their waffles were really really good, especially with the hot cherry jam!! Hot chocolate was just okay, because they ran out of their choc in choc hot chocolate, which i think is their favorite hot chocolate menu. But, it is highly recommended to eat and drink here while you are in Ghent. Beautiful place and delicious waffle.

    So cozy cafe next to the castle 😍 with great outdoor seats. It is the perfect cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee with freshly made waffles. The Brussels waffles were amazing 👏🏻 😋 freshly made with nice crunch. The homemade chocolate sauce was top-notch 👌 😋 and really elevated the flavor 😍 The staff was nice and welcoming. Really this is a place you should try it👍

    We visited Gent in a cold and rainy day. And this chocolate-coffee bar, located just in front of the Castle of the Counts (Gravensteen), was for us the perfect spot where to stop, in order also to restore and get "some warmth". The place is simple but nicely decorated. The service is good (maybe not too fast) and the hot drinks are tasty.

    The place is cozy. The service is nice. The waffle was delicious, recently made and crispy. Just a bit expensive in my opinion.

    The most delicious chocolate drink i've ever tasted in my life, not too sweet, just perfect! Waffles were tasty, crunchy on the outside and they served fast. Very kids friendly with coloring pencils and books. Friendly and welcoming from the start, at payment counter they gave my daughter rabbit chocolate, she was very happy. Thank you ❤

    Take away waffle, didn’t sit in. High expectations for the waffle - high google reviews, but was average. Nice location just across from the castle

  • 5/5 KOSTANTINOS P. 4 months ago on Google • 55 reviews
    Very nice and taste Belgium waffle. We visited it on Sunday, and it was too crowded and we had to wait for a lot of time until take a table. It's better to book a table in advance.

  • 4/5 Rebecca P. 3 months ago on Google • 45 reviews New
    The chocolate cake was super heavy, but very yummy - I took one half home with me, cause I couldn‘t eat the whole piece. My partner had the waffle, but unfortunately the drier kind, which was a litte frustrating, cause we expected a juicy, fluffy waffle. This one was crispy and tasted like cardboard. There were two different kind of waffles in the menu, so it was our fault we ordered the wrong one, nevertheless the waffle was still to expensive for what it was. But all in all it was a nice café and not only a standard touristic place.

  • 5/5 Karina M. 3 months ago on Google • 41 reviews New
    Enjoyed a tasty waffle with a side of delightful hot chocolate. The waffle was deliciously golden, and the hot chocolate was a perfect complement. Plus, the staff was super friendly, making the experience even better!

    Delightful waffles with chocolate right beside the castle in Ghent! A lovely view,wonderful service and tasty treats! Had mine with a latte - nice pair. Eaten quickly or I’d have given a photo of the waffles

  • 5/5 jennifer b. 1 year ago on Google
    This place had the best waffle I’ve had so far in Belgium ❤️❤️❤️! It was sweet, light, and covered in strawberries and chocolate! Yummy! Oh, and the Mojitos were fun and tasty too!

  • 5/5 NGỌC TRÚC ANH N. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the café’s ambiance: the warm light and nice setting of tables. We tried the Brussels waffle with vanilla ice cream and the chocolate Bueno milkshake, both were delicious! We totally enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this café to Ghent’s visitors :)

  • 4/5 Lidia 2 years ago on Google
    Cute little café in Ghent. They have the classic Belgian waffles, abs also other sweet dessert. The Baileys drink was great. Unfortunately they closed pretty early even though it was a Saturday (18.00).

  • 5/5 Dominik E. 4 years ago on Google
    Very lovely and comfortable cafe, felt like a cost living room. The hot chocolate was really delicious and the waffles were great as well. Heads up, you pay at the counter when leaving, not at your table.

  • 5/5 Paola V. 1 year ago on Google
    Best waffles ever! They are absolutely perfect, crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. The homemade chocolate sauce is very good and the vanilla ice cream has a very good flavor. The place is very cozy, it’s the perfect place to be on a cold day in Gent.

  • 4/5 Leentje 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Tasty pancakes and decent portion. The pancakes are already richly sprinkled with powdered sugar (even if other sugar is ordered) If you do not like this, you should better report it in advance. Pleasant service (Original) Lekkere pannekoeken en degelijke portie. De pannenkoeken worden reeds rijkelijk bestrooid met bloemsuiker(ook indien men andere suiker bijbesteld) als je dit niet fijn vind meld je het beter op voorhand. Aangename bediening

    Wife got the Chicken Ceasar Sandwich, I got the salmon and toast, and a mixed fruit Belguim Waffle. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. Highly recommend. Entrance to the castle is right across the street.

  • 5/5 Hasti S. 7 months ago on Google
    this is the best place in the country maybe even europe. maybe the world. highly recommend their baguettes especially chicken ceasar. if youre feeling unhappy, eat here and u will never have to pay for therapy. the cocktails are the cuntiest most delicious fruity drinks. get the pornstar martini, rosy red cheeks, and the mojito. your life will feel complete. the cappuccino was okay but you get a cute little chocolate and strop waffle with it that will elevate it beyond anything u know

  • 5/5 Dr. Mohamed T. 1 year ago on Google
    The tastiest chocolate sauce on a waffle I've ever tasted. A very friendly waitress, and a nice seating area just in front of rhe Gravensteen castle. A bit expensive compared to other waffle joints, but well worth the taste and location

  • 5/5 Kul r. 1 year ago on Google

    Not a fan of pancakes but man, In Choc has turned me into one! Their chocolate pancakes are super yum along with their hot chocolate. Situated right across the Castle - this one is a cute cafe with great service!! Do drop in when you are in Ghent

  • 5/5 Isabel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Found the cutest cafe in gent with the best view of the castle. The service was amazing and everyone was very friendly. Our server was so warm and welcoming. She made great recommendations for food. We got the hot cocoa and the waffles, both were 10/10 delicious for us! Definitely a great stop for our trip to Gent!

    We tried the mocktails, honestly the taste was mid. Kind of just tasted like sparkling water with flavour, but for the price it was not worth it. Overall the cafe atmosphere was really cute

  • 4/5 P L. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautifully located to have dessert or drinks in the terrace. The waffles were a bit expensive but the dough was very good, crunchy from the outside and soft from the inside. The sugar was perfectly balanced.

  • 4/5 chesa 8 months ago on Google
    Great location, across from The Gravensteen. They have a small outdoor seating area, which is nice. They serve a lot of varieties of cakes and waffles. We ordered cheesecake, but it was too sweet to my liking, and the topping on top was too much and overpowering the cheesecake. Service was good. Price is on the higher side, probably due to the location.

    (Translated by Google) Very kindly received. Due to the crowds we had no place, but we quickly got a fix for us. Despite a mistake with the order (we did not take an allergy into account) we still received an alternative very quickly! On top of that also super tasty chocolate milk and pancakes! (Original) Heel vriendelijk ontvangen. Door de drukte hadden we geen plaats maar er werd al snel wat gefixt voor ons.

    Cool and trendy setting with lots of chocolate options! Service could be a bit more friendly. Get the freakshakes! They look and Taste great (no need to eat anything for the rest of the day, so filling ...) Prices are also decent. Perfect for a date! A bit weird that you Cant get eggs and bacon except in the big brunch package (which is quite expensive).

    Lovely cafe in front of the Castle of counts ... was quite busy when we went . You need to find a table for yourself if you wish to eat in. The staff is quite friendly and funny. We ordered only waffles ( which were totally awesome) but there were a lot of other options as well!

    Great place. Friendly staff. Food tastes amazing. It isn't all too expensive and the location is near the city centre. The atmosphere is relaxed which makes for a comfortable place for breakfast and lunch. Although it can be a bit crowded, there is enough space to sit and talk either alone or with friends.
