Puccini Bomboni

Amsterdam


Chocolate bonbons are piled up in pyramids that are works of art here, full of rich and distinctive flavours such as tamarind, lemongrass, sour cherry and calvados, and the beans are sourced from sustainable farms. Note: the shop has been known to close in warm weather – for the sake of the chocolates, of course.
