Australian Home-made Chocolates
There are only two things you can buy in the store: handmade chocolates and ice cream. However, there always queues outside because both are utterly delicious. Most of the chocolates have edible printed aboriginal drawings on, and they even include a sublime organic selection. On hot summer''s day, try their sorbets: lemon, mango and other flavours. They also have wonderful ice creams such as banana, choco chips, strawberry cheesecake and mocha hazelnut.

Many contain fine liquors like cognac, Grand Marnier or amaretto. Puccini has two branches, and at the Staalstraat shop, you can see them make the chocolates through a window. Here you can also enjoy a coffee and some fabulous chocolate desserts in their cafe...
