Boutique Historique Villars

First time visit this place, love it. Awesome chocolate and coffee with discount.

Lovely chocolate shop where you can enjoy a delicious hot chocolate! Very good shop to get Villars chocolate with reasonable prices. Try the box of 30 little tête au choco, it is my favorite.

The Villar chocolate boutique & café are part of the factory's beautiful and imposing brick building. Great place to shop chocolate & and stop for a bite

A real local gem. Ideal for buying local chocolate for a more affordable price. On the top of all this, there is a very cosy coffee shop.

Nice place too chill out in the cafe. With a cup of hot chocolate is a must.

Place with potential, but also bad Swiss service approach and zero marketing skills. A chocolate oriented cafe that serves no hot chocolate or cocoa because “they ran out” (quite a while ago now I assume, since the sign is printed out and laminated). There is a selection of coffe (mine was good) and some tea though. Nothing really special for the kids. I was with a 4 y.o. and got a choice of hot or cold... milk :) You’d think a Villars boutique cafe would offer various kinds of delicious chocolate treats like cakes, cookies, muffins, maybe some fancy desserts... Nothing more misleading. There’s nothing to eat other than chocolate, of course, that you can purchase in the store. You can buy different sorts and you can also make your own mix of favorite small chocolates (price per weight), provided you remove a pile of papers and invoices from the scale (you need to weigh it yourself) and the cart blocking it. Chocolate is very tasty - after all it’s Villars ;) This place could be a “must visit” spot on Fribourg’s map if one put a little thought into it. Two stars for quality chocolate and good coffee.

Great selection of different chocolate for low to mid range. Damaged chocolate can be purchased at a ~50% discount. Though Villars does provide coffee shops who work with them exclusively nice Italian coffee machines, at their showroom the coffee is served with press a button machines and the beans are commercial grade. No specialty beans were seen. Unfortunately coffee culture has not yet hit Fribourg. The praline counter makes the place worth the visit. There is also a little sitting room to enjoy your coffee and schoki!

Truly speaking, I got the best chocolate brands I've ever tested from here, also there were a variety of them to choose from. The staff were also helpful in explaining whatever wasn't clear.
