About the Chocolate Factory in Warsaw
Do you know the taste of real chocolate? Dark, intense, extracted from the depths of the cocoa beans, seductive, and even addictive. Large chocolate corporations are striving to increase profitability on a massive scale.
For this purpose, aromas, emulsifiers, and other "enhancers" are added to their products. The vast majority of chocolates are made from semi-finished products, which reduces the price but reduces the taste of real cocoa.
In Chocolate story they make sure that the chocolate is made exclusively of ingredients of the highest quality. They select the best grains by hand and produce a cocoa paste from them, to which other raw materials are added. The result of this process is real chocolate with unadulterated taste.

Warsaw's Chocolate Factory & Cafe - E. Wedel
Wedel Chocolate Factory in Warsaw
Located at the infamous Praga distinct in Warsaw, the factory is decorating the air of the city with an intensive smell of chocolate. Wedel is the oldest brand in Poland. The story started when Karol Wedel left Berlin and moved to Poland.
During 1851, he started his own business, serving hot drinking chocolate in a small shop located at Miodowa Street in Warsaw. Together with his wife Karolina they met the success.
Big crowds were very interested to taste the interesting and sophisticated taste compositions that have been previously unknown to them. The Wedel company passed to Emil, Karol's son in 1865 as a wedding present and in order to continue the good tradition in chocolate making.
Emil moved the factory to a building at Szpitalna Street, where a branded Wedel shop and a cafe is located to this day in the same building. Wedel’s chocolate became very famous in Poland. Soon after this, a lot of fake Wedel chocolates made their appearance in the market.
As a solution, Emil started to add his own handwritten signature on each product produced in its own factory. Being a family business, the son of Emil, Jan was going to take over very soon. Emil and Jan Wedel worked together at Szpitalna Street from 1912 until 1923.
In 1931, Jan Wedel moved the factory to Zamoyski Street, Praga district at the place it is located now. Jan Wedel was very progressive and he improved the factory and logistics processes.
During WWII they tried to force them to manufacture sweets only for the Germans. But Jan Wedel, as a patriot offered meals for the local community and refused to cooperate with Germans. Jan Wedel was arrested and deported to Pruszków camp, while the valuable factory’s possessions were stolen by the Soviet army.
Finally, during the Warsaw Uprising, the factory facilities were destroyed.
E. Wedel Chocolate Lounge Staroswiecki Sklep
E. Wedel Cafe is a must if you are in Warsaw and you like chocolate. The warm classic Viennese coffee house interior with regal pictures is a nice contrast to the cold and dreary Warsaw weather.
Warm-up with a cup of hot chocolate, which comes in different flavors! The classic is just amazing, at least for me. You are going to see couples, families, and business people in this cafe, which is full all year round.
The place is located at Szpitalna 8 in Warsaw. Some interesting reviews on TripAdvisor about E.Wedel Chocolate Lounge in Warsaw.
