Puccini Bomboni

Glad I brought two boxes back to NYC. One box was for my dad and the other to be shared, but I ended up eating the latter box.

Usually not a bug fan of chicolate– I lived in Switzerland for half a year and still was not sold on it, but there was something so aesthetically pleasing about these pieces that I felt it was my duty to taste them. Artisanal chocolates are usually tiny pieces that look glazed/​shiny, in uniform shapes. Puccini’s were on the larger side, and had things things stuck to them, and were in really unique shapes. But what pulled me i the most were the inventive flavours: sesame, tea, pepper, thyme, and some classics that looks so very appetizing. I got about 6 pieces of chocolates for about 8 euros I believe, so it was on the more expensive side of things.
I took them to a café to sit down and enjoy them with a cup of tea. THEY WERE SO GOOD. The flavours blossomed out of the cocoa most magnificently, and it tasted authentic, as if actual tea, pepper, thyme, etc. were ground in to the chocolates. Not a single one disappointed me, and mind you, I don’t even like chocolate. ASDFLKAHGAKSLDJFA was my literal reaction every time I took a bite out of those bad boys. Pretty sure I had actual tears in my eyes.
Puccini, if you’re reading this, please consider shipping internationally.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. After living here in Amsterdam for over a year, I finally found my favorite chocolate spot. I must say it’s the best chocolate I’ve ever had. I had the coffee and fig flavored chocolate and enjoyed every bite! Can’t wait to go back to try more!

Very high end delicious chocolate with very nice flavors!
They have different size of boxes and the staff is so nice. When you buy the chocolate they will give you a small catalogue explains every type. Also they sell some fine wines that match with the chocolate

Bought some chocolates while walking bye. Great Bön bins and other sweets. Nice helpful service

Delicious is the best word to describe the goods inside this fabulous locale. Definitely worth a quick visit.

Plum, pepper and cognac are my top 3 favorite! For ppl loves dark chocolate, or things not too sweet, highly recommend. After a three days trip in Brussels, I finally found the best chocolate in my life in Amsterdam!

Amazing chocolates! :) don’t miss out on the mint one (really), almond with milk chocolate, plum, and raspberry! My personal favorite is the sweet pepper, it’s unbelievable! Like heaven haha Don’t go crazy like me and buy two full bags haha they are pretty filling and should be a treat. The ones I got are going to last me for days!
The fig marzipan is great like others say but only if you are really into marzipan.
I have to give it four stars instead of five, because I think they could have a mug better system to take care of costumers. It’s usually just one person helping you (in one location there was two once, but that seemed unusual) usually, and the shop can get busy. People go on choosing each chocolate and asking questions and wondering what they want. So it can take a long time. It is a nice to have someone’s attention like that, but I wish they could come up with a better system, because this — although it «works» — is clearly not the most effective choice.
If you are wandering through the 9 streets I would definitely check them out afterwards by Singel.

OMG these are amazing! I have a huge sweet tooth but chocolate never really does it for me till I had one of these. Our hotel was near this location so I added it to my list to try. We got 3 pieces and the total was about 9 euros. Which seemed pricey compared to the US but now I know why. These chocolates are like heaven. Sooo creamy, delicate yet so flavorful. A must try when in Amsterdam! You won’t regret it.

5 stars… enough said. :)
Friendly, delicious, only wish they could control the weather because it was hot and carrying our chocolates back to the apartment meant we had to rush, but the good news is they were not melting like we thought they would be and we enjoyed them immediately.

This famous chocolatiers is located right in the Red Light District. So after you watch the chics in the windows try to lure men inside, pop on by and getcha some delicious chocolate. Class it up a little! ;)
When you walk into this place, it smells like heaven. pure heaven.
There is a variety of truffles, handmade speciality chocolates, you name it. We had everything from mint, orange, jalepeno and it was all rich and decadent.

The best chocolate sold on this planet, it doesn’t get better than this. Whether it’s the sweetest or the tangiest, the subtle or the spicy — Puccini Bomboni has what you’re looking for. Fortunately, we heard about this place before arriving in Amsterdam, so planning a trip there the day before leaving to return home to the States was relatively easy. Took the worry out of buying souvenirs as they have a lot of options and a lot of unique tins for presentation. Even our less than sweet tooth friends and family loved their gift from Puccini. Better than all the chocolate we enjoyed and brought back from Paris, Brussels, Munich, Austria…

This is one of my first destinations each time I visit Amsterdam. It is also my last stop to shop before I get back on a plane. The chocolate are the absolutely the best I’ve ever had. And I’ve had allot from Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and so on. The flavors are amazing. They cost more than some shops but they are worth every Euro cent. Be smart and buy a variety for your trip home, because you will have a hard time finding chocolates just as good in any other country.

Some of the absolute best chocolate we’ve had around the world. Its very expensive but worth it for a quick taste.

I have sampled chocolate in a lot of countries, and never have I ever before or since found as magnificent a truffle as Puccini Bomboni’s dark chocolate caramel truffle. Perfection.

Thank you, Unilocal,for helping me find this place.
I know Sinterklaas is a kids thing, but for the past 3 years, on Dec 6, I have placed delicious chocolate’s in my man’s shoes (in a box of course). This was the first year I’ve done so in Holland and I hadn’t a clue where to find great chocolates.
Puccini Bomboni is the place!
I walked in and picked out six bonbons:
— Pepper
— Sweet pepper
— Fig and marsapan
— Vanilla with poppy seed
— Port
— Thyme
mmmm. they all look mouth-​watering good! They are not cheap (the 6 cost EUR 11 and change) at a bit less than 2 euro a piece, but these are big! Totally worth if it if you are a chocolate lover or need a special treat for someone. Friendly staff, too!

Delicious chocolate near the PC Hoofthuis UvA building. I may develop an addiction.
The chocolate has a great flavor and there are so many different varieties to try. I tried the fig-​marzipan and it was super scrumptious. I also bought the kaneel (cinnamon) flavor but I haven’t tried it yet.
The prices here are quite high, but the individual pieces of chocolate are pretty big.
