Cafe Chocolat

Chocolate belongs in the food pyramid!
This place was impressive with what you can do with chocolate. Sugar-​free, chocolate sticks, chunks and blocks of chocolate, desserts, drinks, etc. This place made Starbucks look boring and blah!
Perfect for any last minute gifts on your way out of Amsterdam.

A chocoholic comes here for breakfast;
A chocoholic comes here for lunch;
A chocoholic comes here for dinner;
A chocoholic comes here before a flight;
A chocoholic comes here after landing in Schiphol, Amsterdam;
A chocoholic comes here to indulge and a liqueur to commemorate the decadence that was… Amsterdam;
Until next time.
Tip: The mousses are remarkably scrummy but anything choc here is worth a FUC.

Aaaahhhh… the stereotypes of the Netherlands! One thing you might not find on such a list, is Chocolate.
While we aren’t talking about Swiss or Belgian chocolates, choco-​fans looking for sweets in the form an unneeded but irresistible combination of fat and calories, Café Chocolat at Schiphol might help you! Although the outer appearance can strike one as semi-​cheesy, I can assure you that the flavors are genuine! When I’m waiting for a flight and don’t feel like a full meal or just drinks, I’ll stop on here to make sure that I’ve gone over my daily calorie allowance by at least 1326.59 calories.
I wouldn’t waste my time getting standard chocolate bars or truffles here — just dive into the good stuff!
Last time I was here I got some sort of trio which I like to call the tire trio (because it helps you create a tire around your wasteline)
I have no clue what they are called, but here is my description of each.
1. Puffy Passion Pink Pretty Princess Putty — light layered cake with berry mousse, raspberry jelly topped with a white chocolate that looks like a college graduation cap
2. Surprise Lucky Moon Cake on Biscuit Lotus Pad — this is my favorite! On top of a round biscuit is a lavender flavored white choco-​cream in the shape of a flower, with a surprising but welcome dab of apricot jam filling inside
3. Jiggly Fruity Tower of Babel — a spiraling thin sweet almond sponge reaching towards the berry jelly layered heavens with fruit mousse in between
Take a look at my pictures and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Yes, the prices are slightly obnoxious, the people working there are a little strange and the seating is almost cafeteria style. But paired with a nice glass of wine (prosecco is too expensive for me to justify here) and your set for a little pre-​flight binging!
Eet smakkelijk luchthaven bingers!

This place is crazy. Chocolate choices abound. I got a square of chocolate — mousse? It was intense and delicious. The cappuccino I ordered was smooth.

Ordered the hot chocolate. They give you hot milk and this novelty chocolate on a stick to stir into the milk. Maybe little kids would have been excited, but I stirred and stirred and stirred and by the time the chocolate was stirred in, the heat was «stirred out.» The taste was just ok. I prefer more chocolate.
So I tell the girl I need my hot chocolate warmed up and hand her my cup. I see her turn on the milk steamer and then without telling me she dumps a half a cup of milk into my cup. I tell her I didn’t want that because it only further diluted the chocolate flavor. She claims it’s not diluted because there should have been that much milk to begin with. I say well there wasn’t and she offers no remedy.
So I just can’t get over that I just paid $ 7 for milk with a tinge of chocolate taste which was promptly thrown out at the gate.
Then my poor mum had to listen to me go on a $ 7 useless NOT-​hot chocolate rant at the gate.
Don’t fall for Café Chocolate.

Nummy! What a bastion of pure delight while waiting for a connection off the red-​eye from the US. I was in chocolat and coffee heaven. Nice place to sit and relax as well as enjoy the number of amazing treats here. They also have numerous liquors to complement your coffee and chocolat delights. Worth a deviation or plan extra time to make a stop here!

A fabulous chocolate café, hence Schiphol is one of my favourite airports. The café is located after the passport control.
You can get chocolate drinks, fondue, all kinds of chocolaty cakes mousse and pastries, fruits dipped in chocolate, chocolate spread, and of course, chocolates and truffles.
Since I’ve transited through this airport many times at different hours, I’ve had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. Yes, chocolate is a meal!
