Puccini Bomboni

Yummy !!! No puedo decir otra cosa que «Yummy». Solo escribiendo, mi boca se llena de agua y tengo hambre.
Puccini Bomboni hace sus propios chocolates con un monton de sabores: almendras, pimiento, hierbas… es genial. La tienda es super blanca, super limpia y hay un silencio que parece muy religioso tan las personas estan sin palabras en frente de los chocolates.
Lo que me ha gustado mas es la parte «chocolate de reposteria». Como cocino mucho, fue genial encontrar a chocolate en perlas para cocer y no solo para comerlo. La textura, el color y el gusto son muy diferentes de los Nestlé por ejemplo. Un + gigante.
Los precios, si que son caros, pero los chocolates son de muy muy buena calidad.

Let me brag about my Dutch-​Indonesian mother. She’s 85 now, but when she was younger she was god’s gift to the wadjan (wok). Her crispy fried chicken was one of her signature dishes. She rubbed the chicken thighs with a sweet-​sour paste of tamarind, a fruit from the tamarind tree, before frying them. Another dish to die for: ajam opor, chicken in coconut milk flavoured with sereh (lemon grass). Such a refined taste, ideal to match with one of her vegetable dishes with a touch of ginger. Tamarind, sereh and ginger are essential to the cuisine that Dutch Indonesians brought to The Netherlands. They are linked to a period they refer to as tempo doeloe, those good old days. Looking for the ultimate finale of a Dutch-​Indonesian dinner? Make it coffee with a selection — tamarind, sereh, ginger — of Puccini chocolates, the most prestigious chocolates in town and handmade by one of the 10 best chocolatiers of the world according to National Geographic.

Great looking selection and they were rather large chocolates. I only give 5 stars if the product and the service was amazing. Though the woman was nice enough, I felt like there was room for a little more pleasantness. I never like to feel like I’m bothering someone when I buy their product. Great neighborhood to walk around in as well.

I’m a big chocolate fan and found this place to be average as far as chocolate specialists go and the American-​sized bonbons over do what should be (in my opinion) a flavor experience best handled with smaller bonbons. Otherwise it’s just calories. Anyway, nice place to shop but not worth a special visit.

Absolutely the best chocolate in Amsterdam (and maybe in NL???)! This place is perfect for chocolate presents or just to treat yourself every once in a while. They have a lot of variety in taste so I bet there is something for everyone.
The only reason this place gets 4 stars instead of 5: their chocolates are quite big. I would like to see them smaller so you can eat more different ones. ;-) Also, it’s quite pricy, but hey, it’s the best chocolate in Amsterdam.

I’m lowering the stars I’m giving this business since the woman in the shop closes her store 10 – 15 minutes early sometimes, which really blows when you’re heading out of town and relying on being able to pick up a gift box of chocolates for your hosts before leaving. Impervious to my desperation, she refused to open her doors even though I was there before closing time, so I had to get some chocolates from a local gas station. Not cool man, not cool.

In case you didn’t know… I’m a unicorn…
And unicorns LOVE chocolate. In fact, our diet only consists of rainbows, chocolate and champagne.
So you can imagine how much my magic horn was shining when I randomly stumbled across Puccini Bomboni! It’s in some random small street where unicorns don’t usually frolic, but I feel it necessary to inform all my other unicorn friends to check out this place!
As you enter this world of chocolate, you will be immediately sucked into the choco-​orgy, to which there is no point of return. The great thing that unicorns really love is that you have classic chocolate flavors and then other weird ass flavors like green tea or lemon grass truffles. I had those two and some kind of prune marzipan (you can NEVER go wrong with marzipan) and while the flavors weren’t enough to make gooey rainbows spew out of my uni-​horn, I will definitely come frolic ’round these parts again to feed my lusty snout with uniporn chocolate. NEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Delicious hand made chocolate.

As with the other reviews, we bumped into this place during our stroll through the streets. I am a huge chocolate fan but my girlfriend is indifferent. She walked in and her eyes lit up. Be ready to drop some serious cash for there product but also be prepared to be amazed. I tried the honey and chocolate while she had the marzipan. Wow. If that does not bring on the sense of adventure, who really mixes chocolate with honey, then try the rhubarb or mint. Everyone who loves chocolate needs to add this to their list of things to visit in amsterdam.

Die beste Schokolade, die ich jemals genießen durfte.
Die Pralinen sehen nicht nur hervorragend aus, sondern schmecken auch so. Selbst exotische Kreationen schmecken total lecker (aber das ist natürlich Geschmackssache).
Was ich besonderes lobenswert finde, ist, dass man anhand der Form der Praline und dem Flyer auch zu Hause noch perfekt erkennen kann, welche Praline man gerade wählt, wenn man sich ein größere Mischung zusammengestellt hat.
Lecker!

I bumped into this store by chance while taking a stroll through Rembrandtplein. I had read about it when doing research about where to buy fine quality chocolates in Amsterdam.
We also went to the store in Centrum as it was closer to us on departure day.
The ladies attending were very kind and patient as we explored the beautifully crafted chocolate pieces. We purchases a small box that holds 7 – 8 pieces and a bag with dark chocolate sticks. The quality is indeed amazing. For chocolate lovers, this is worth every cent in my opinion. My favorite is the bar with pecans and soft chocolate inside (like a ganache). Insanely. Heavenly. Orgasmic.
(These chocolates are not cheap, so be prepared to drop some cash.)
Enjoy!

Also wir waren im Puccini drin, nachdem wir zahlreiche Kommentare gelesen haben, dass es so toll sein soll. Um ehrlich zu sein, haben wir uns weit aus bessere Schokolade vorgestellt. Für den Hammerpreis (Megateuer) haben wir uns einzigartige Schokolade vorgestellt. Leider wurden wir enttäuscht. Für den Preis (haben ca. 80 Euro für verschiedene Schokolade ausgegeben) bekommt man wo anders bestimmt bessere zusatzstofffreie und selbstgemachte Schokolade und viel günstiger. Zum Anschauen war es ganz nett und es sah auch toll aus, aber die Weltbeste Schokolade ist es bei weitem nicht.

Umm… tasty. Very tasty. And I now have 50 Euros worth of it to prove it.
When you walk in, the chocolate smell just hits your nose… and it doesn’t leave it. Considering that we walked through De Wallen’s trash to get over here during a break, it was a little pocket of heaven tucked away.
If you’re confused or just can’t decide, the nice chocolatier will do a selection for you. Enjoy!

Most tourists in Amsterdam have no know clue how good Dutch chocolate really is. Belgium may be known as the the Capital of Chocolate but in Holland you will find a few Dutch chocolate shops here that match quality, reputation and price. Puccini Bonboni chocolate is just simply fabulous! For example, the Dutch chocolate truffles or rum gourmet chocolate will melt right in your mouth. I never ate chocolate until I moved to Europe. Not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing…:)
My Dutch man bought a box of chocolates here to celebrate our anniversary. This Dutch chocolate shop is on my list for favorites for the most popular and best chocolates in Amsterdam. After eating a box of chocolates here, I now know why their chocolates is so sensational. They have plenty of chocolate goodies to tempt the palate and swirl the scale. They have two locations in Amsterdam on Staalstraat 17 and Singel 184 Amsterdam.
