OUR HOT CHOCOLATES
YOUR CHOCOLATE CAFÉ IN BRUSSELS
If your looking for a real chocolate cafe in Brussels, you just found it. The Unusual on Rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagères 49 is where hot chocolate is made with actual Belgian chocolate — not powder, not syrup from a bottle. We melt real chocolate into every cup and let you pick from six different types.
We also bake chocolate pastries fresh every day. Pain au chocolat, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate cookies — all made with proper Belgian chocolate. Our dark chocolate selection goes from 54.5% to a serious 80% extra dark, for people who really mean it when they say they like dark chocolate.
Something most visitors don't expect is our coffee and chocolate pairings. We pull specialty espresso and match it with different chocolates — it changes the whole experience. Our mocha coffee drinks use the same real chocolate, so they taste nothing like what you get at a chain cafe. And our chocolate drinks menu lets you build your own combination, hot or cold, with whatever milk and toppings you like.
We're big on Belgian chocolate specialties here. Six chocolates from white to extra dark, each with different tasting notes — ruby chocolate with dried strawberry hints, gold chocolate with toffee and caramel, milk chocolate thats creamy and classic. These arent random imports. They're Belgian-made and selected because they actually taste amazing.
Got dietary needs? We have vegan chocolate options — our dark chocolates are naturally dairy-free and we do oat milk with no upcharge. Gluten-free chocolate options are easy too since all our hot chocolates are naturally gluten-free. No compromises on taste either way.
Our seasonal chocolate specials change every month — pumpkin spice in autumn, peppermint in winter, lavender in spring. Follow us on Instagram to see whats new. And for the cold months, our hot cocoa is the thing that brings half of Brussels Central Station to our door. Real chocolate, real warmth, every day.
If you want to go deeper, we also run chocolate making classes upstairs where you learn to work with these same Belgian chocolates. But even just stopping by for a specialty drink and a pastry is a pretty great Brussels experience. Rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagères 49, between Grand Place and Central Station. Come taste real chocolate.
