Love it!

Love the taste. Quality wise it's almost better than a chai latte in a café.

Hi Tanja, thank you so much for your positive review!

Normally our boxes are adjusted to the size of the order, but I think something went wrong in your case. I will take it up with our fulfillment partner.

Have a great day!

Worst chocolate I've ever tried

Bought these at a supermarket in Denmark (Milk chocolate hazelnut truffle variant) and it was the worst piece of chocolate I have ever tried.
The only flavor that came out of it was milk fat. Disgusting fatty milk taste. No hazelnut, no truffle.
I normally don't go about leaving reviews to chocolate I didn't like but this was exceptionally bad. And not to mention expensive like crazy.
I'd really love my money back as I had to throw out 3 hippos and 3/4ths.

Hi Alexandra,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we're sorry to hear that our Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle Hippos did not meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing this must have been.

It’s possible that the chocolates may have been affected by storage or handling conditions, which can sometimes impact the flavor. We recommend returning the product to the store where you purchased it for a refund or exchange, as our retail partners handle returns directly.

Have a great day!

It is taking a long time to receive… but very good solution was given

It is taking a long time to receive what we ordered. Almost 3 weeks have passed, and we have not received nothing.
Can you please check if something is going wrong ?

In the meanwhile I have been contacted by Barú, they have quickly solved the problem and I have received the items. I am really happy with their service !!!!! I will buy again for sure !!!! I love their products

I ordered the spiced chai latte

I ordered the spiced chai latte. The taste is nice but I had expected more a spicy chai. Now it’s more a sweet soft chai.

Hi Geertje,

Thanks for your honest review.

The "Spiced" stands for the masala spices used in our chai like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. We hope you will enjoy it nonetheless.

Have a great day!

Hi Jacqueline,

Such great news! Did you know that you can also enjoy our hot chocolate iced, if you mix the powder with a little bit of hot water and then add ice and milk?

Enjoy!

Too much hype and too expensive

Too much hype and too expensive.

Tried the ones with sea salt caramel.
There were almost no caramel on top. This is just a very expensive marshmellow (very soft though) with chocolate.

This stuff should be illegal

Expectations were high - we tried some of your stuff already. But boy oh boy you did deliver. Surreally good treats = a quite literal description.
The only drawback is that gym visits are not included.
And well despite those are vegan, it goes best with good (really good) cow milk.

What a fun review! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying our treats just as much as we do. And about those gym visits: a nice treat is also good for your mental health, which can't be overlooked. ;) Happy holidays!

Fun gift for anyone who needs a pick-me-up

Super fun goodies that I sent to my daughter at university to share with her friends. Easy to order and very fast shipping. Would definitely order again.

Great chocolates, great shopping experience!

The chocolates are amazing (the hippos are a nice treat, but the marshmallows are next level good)! Shipping was quick and organized.

It was great even if the packaging was not solid enough

It was great, the products arrived early but one of the packagings was open and smashed so I lost a little bit of the powder. But it happens to everyone and that’s not so problematic. Beside of all that the taste of the chai is amazing !! Would recommend for sure :)

Hi Mariane, sad to hear there was a little accident with one of your drinking powders. I'm going to mail you a code you can use on your next order for a little something extra!

Have a great day and enjoy your chai!
