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.

Hi Camilla, we're sorry to hear that our sea salt caramel marshmallows didn't meet your expectations. We'll investigate the issue with the caramel topping and strive to improve consistency. While our pricing reflects our commitment to quality ingredients, we're open to feedback and aim to ensure fair pricing.

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

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!

Good products
Initially it did not reach me, they have contacted me to solve the situation and it was solved fast.
The products are great, I have especially enjoyed the pumpkin spice and the hot chocolate with salted caramel.
Will definitely order more in the future

The website says "next day delivery" in…
The website says "next day delivery" in Belgium, the parcel was shipped 48h after ordering and delivered 72h after ordering, even if I did not order any chocolate products. I had already left the country so I did not get to use the products ordered.

Hi Pamela,
We're very sorry to hear you were not satisfied with our service! At the time of your order, we were carefully monitoring our shipments since it was very hot. In our website banner we indicated that only orders with Spiced and Vanilla Chai were being shipped. Your order also included Fluffy powder, which contains mini marshmallows that don't react well to warm conditions. We didn't want to risk our products to be of a lesser quality upon arrival.
We hope you can still enjoy our tasty drinks when you return. Have an amazing trip! :)
