I am often asked "What is an urban chocolate safari?"
Here is a typicel example.
Frankfurt is a city with a rich history and culture, and its chocolate shops are no exception.
From small, family-owned bean to bar shops to large, international chocolate brands, Frankfurt has them all.
One popular chocolate shop in Frankfurt is Michis Schokoatelier. This small bean to bar shop has a great selection of chocolates ranging from pralines to chocolate barks. The chocolates are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the shop has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Bitter & Zart: This independent chocolate shop in the newly renovated Altstadt opened in 2003. In its cute and cozy interior, patrons will find shelves stacked high with a mouth-watering assortment of bars, candies and pralines. The wares are a mix of in-house production and imports from all over Europe. Here, the service was friendly and competent, although no samples were offered. The pralines I took homemade for a gorgeous, gooey treat. Next door, the plush, 1920s-inspired vintage salon serves coffee, tea and patisserie. it’s so popular it can be hard to get a seat, it’s worth the wait. Braubachstraße 14, 60311 Frankfurt am Main

This independent chocolatier has been making Frankfurt’s city life sweeter since 1878 when previous generations set up shop. Centrally located but tucked away on a not-so-heavily foot trafficked side street, the compact shop offers artfully arranged walls of chocolatey indulgence and an eye-catching selection of creamy gateaux. This shop also runs a café right around the corner, which I look forward to visiting on my next chocolate-fueled exploration of Frankfurt. Großer Hirschgraben 28, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
