Patisserie & Chocolaterie Joost Arijs Review

Chocolate heaven...Bought 3 large gift selection to savour back home

By far the best patisserie in Ghent and surroundings !! Also during the holidays an ideal reservation and collection system.

Best pastry and pralines in Belgium. Beautiful store. It is a pity that the store in Antwerp has disappeared.

Extensive variety in chocolates, it is a true ajazajo! Do not hesitate to buy some good boutique chocolates, the presentation is impeccable!

Finest pastry in town!
Looks like art, tastes like love!
Happily I live nearby.

The pinnacle. I just had the honor to taste the pear / frangipanne pie. There are no words for this. A culinary masterpiece!

Entered numbly, satisfied and left with a warm feeling on the first cold day of the year. The better patisserie in our country ...

What a talent!
Joost is TOP!

This place has some of the best desserts we had in belgium, totally
reminded us of a french patisserie with a beautiful selection of sweets

The best pastry and chocolate shop in Gent. If you live far away, it is worth visiting from time to time to try their sweets.

Very tasty pastry and chocolates. It is also served very nicely. Top.

This place has the best macaroons I've ever had! Totally worth stopping by

I think I get lucky. First pastry in Ghent and I probably found one of the best. Take two cakes and a tea at the bar. Marvelous.

Really refined patisserie. Expensive, but it's worth the price

Most exclusive pattisier I have ever experienced. Tarts are real works of art and flavor bombs. Is of course a bit more expensive. But 100% worth the money. Super recommended for those who want to pamper themselves and others.

Amazing quality patisserie and chocolaterie. Great service.

In this place i had one of the best pastries i've ever had! So much flavour but alao very subtle different tastes together

Expensive and tasty. Gave a compliment. Coffee from a nespresso machine to a coffee lover from capsules.

You will certainly enjoy something so much choice that they offer and very friendly

Service is very efficient and nice. Pastries/mono and truffles are perfectly crafted and pleasant to eyes. The only bad side was the pricing (a bit over the medium) and the taste, slightly too sweet for some choices

A student who works for me ... had forgotten that she had to come ... and after all the sorry's she came out with a box with 16 different chocolates ... wowwwww amaiiiii WHAT WAS DA! What a taste bombs, unbelievable how much taste can come from such a praline! Really top! D Lisa can still forget her shift on condition that I get a bigger box !!
Simply sublime !! Keep on going !!

In October I have bought a box of half ball coloured pralines 24 pieces with 22,50. Best pralines ever. 3 weeks later I went again but they don't sell it anymore in 24 pieces but in 12. For the 12 pieces I had to pay 16 euro. Wich means that if I buy 2 boxes to have 24 pieces I would pay 32 Euro's. A big jump in 3 weeks time from 22.50 to 32 euro.. Good pralines but it stopped for me. Way to much for so little chocolate no matter how good it is.

Tasty, but expensive. A lot of money for a praline. For once, yes, and that's where it ends for me.

Very stylish bakery. Sleek but modern interior. Refined pastry. Very tasty and definitely recommended for sharing with friends or family. Very friendly service, could tell a lot about the products.

More than lovely maccarons and pralines! They are definitely worth the price.

Best chocolaterie in Ghent, price is over the average but chocolates quality and taste MUCH above the average. You should go there.

Wow! I will definitely return, would like to taste everything. Almost too good to eat!

A visit to Ghent is not possible without a visit to Joost Arijs. The cakes and bonbons are all a party in itself.
Last weekend for the first time on the terrace (you) enjoyed a cake and a tea ..... a great party to enjoy! #joostarijs until next time!

My place to be for my addiction to macarons. It might be a bit expensive, but I enjoy the craftsmanship, tastes and texture.

Praline boutique in a beautiful shopping street, very stylishly furnished.
The selection of pralines (approx. 15) is not outstanding, but the taste is all the more so.
The maitre knows how to handle yuzu, saffron, tonka bean & Co.!
In addition, there is a selection of small tarts and cakes, where the actual or original core competence of Mr. Arijs was / lies.
The matcha cheesecake is recommended here

It is kind and delicious! The price range is a little out of the way, but it's a little out of the way where people are going, There are many kinds of chocolate, and the cake is too pretty.

Grateful!
In this uncertain corona crisis it was not easy to find a nice birthday present last minute. At 4pm I called them to place an order, asking if I could receive the asap. Normally, the delivery is not carried out until the next day, but Elke was kind enough to deliver it to my home that same evening. The mission impossible completed in my opinion and the birthday boy then unexpectedly had a very pleasant birthday with the very best chocolates. Super service, super products, only great!

Good quality dessert, price is quite expensive. but it is deserved to be paid.

Everything is equally delicious and unique in taste

The most delicious pastries. Impossible not to return.

Best macarons of Ghent, best cakes of Ghent, simply the best patisserie of Ghent! Macarons cost 1.5 euros / piece, 1 person tarts cost only 5 to 7 euros / piece. Everything they have here (pralines, cookies, chocolate, ice cream, ...) is of very high quality. Staff is professional and friendly. Recommended to give as a gift to someone or for own consumption.

Ooh la la! Matcha mousse with citron jellie is brilliant! Just perfect! Amazing combination of flavours and textures! Home-made hot chocolate is so comforting and indulging! Opt for the strongest if you like a strong/ less sweet chocolate like me! The staff is very friendly and go an extra mile to suggest places to eat and drink in Ghent! The best Patisserie in Ghent!

Really delicious chocolates and macaroons. We had problems trying to decide which was our favorite they all tasted so good.

Not cheap, but good buy: top-notch series that you don't often come across

The macaroons are quite good. But the staff asked me "Please don't touch the glass" when I tried to point out which flavors of macaroons I would like to buy.... I was wondering why cannot I touch the glass?

The place to be for treating yourself .. or others of course. The pastries look amazing and are also really good. He has a lot of different pastries that vary often. So see something you like ... buy it might not be there next time. Also for good chocolates and or macarons. Nice people behind the counter always helpfull and getting lots of info ... probably one of the best ....

Looks nice but the taste unfortunately doesn t raise up to the expectations, quality-price not the best.

Previously Joost worked at Hof van Cleve (3 star restaurant) as a pastry chef (of course!!) No wonder he brings the perfection and attention to detail into his cake.
Pros: best cakery in town with beautiful presentation and balanced flavor. Small cakes are available.
Cons: you pay for quality, chocolate is not the best in Gent. Only take out.

This house is one of the best shops in Belgium. You can purchase macaroons and roll cakes. When ordering online, it can be picked up in an outdoor tent.

Tasty desserts. Higher price range. No parking in the neighborhood which is annoying. Original.

As since opening so many years ago we have arrived and remain the topper in Belgium and even Europe if you compare with even some French patissiers. Always lots of choice and delicious cakes! Edible works of art !!

Original and delicious chocolates from the master himself.
