Chocolate Store "Cocolat"

This little chocolate store, almost hidden between two Turkish kiosks and not an obvious eye catcher at the very first glance, comes the closest to Juliette Binoche‘s dessert store in the French movie “Chocolat” as it can get.

I just stumbled over it by chance, when looking for a Christmas gift for my mother, and found the cutest location in Bremen.
You enter and are basically surrounded by delicious sweets from all sides: chocolates, but in forms in flavors you have never seen, dark chocolate, white chocolate, chocolate stuffed with dried fruits, chocolate combined with spicy chili, chocolate from Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and all parts of Africa. There are simple chocolate bars, small boxes of pralines and huge packets filled with toffees.

Directly under the counter you find little mountains of homemade truffles and a large collection of exotic coffees is displayed on the shelves (you can buy it either in whole beans or freshly grounded). Furthermore, the chocolate store features several other delicacies for lovers of the extraordinary: all sorts of tea, marmalade from Denmark, gingerbread from Sweden or English cookies! :)

As you can see in the pictures, all the sweets are beautifully and lovingly arranged, so the atmosphere is really cosy. The two elderly women who own the store are very helpful and always ready to recommend a certain kind of coffee or chocolate.

Unfortunately, everything in the shop is rather expensive – I think the cheapest chocolate bar starts at 3 Euro and you can easily pay up to 50 Euro for one of the huge boxes of high-class candy.However, if you are looking for a very nice and special gift, maybe for your parents or boy-/girlfriend, this is definitely the place to go. Or also if you just want to delve into the beautiful world of sweets like in the movie “Chocolat” :)
