Cocoa Store

Lapin and I passed this tiny shoppe on our way to the Gander. He said he wanted to stop by and take a look since he was in one of his rare hot chocolate moods. The store was very tiny and can probably hold only two people at a time maybe a third -- small child. The place looked like every chocolate lover’s dream, it was well stocked with delicious chocolate. The proprietor was very nice and sweet (which was the only reason the store didn’t get 1 or 2). We had a two small squares of their chocolate and they were really tasty. We decided to order some hot chocolate since the chocolate was really tasty. We should have been wary when the proprietor said they just started serving it, they haven’t nailed the formula down and she didn’t know how much to charge. For $5.50 a cup, I expect the most delicious tasting cup of chocolate. Lastly, the recipe must have been off since we both couldn’t finish it. It tasted to watery and not sweet enough...it was just plain weird tasting. As note, they do accept cards, they have no whipped cream or coffee but the chocolate is amazing and I would recommend stopping in just for that.

Very intimate setting to purchase the best chocolates in the world. Grab a cup of genuine Italian hot chocolate on a cold day too!!

Offers limited designer selection of specialty bean-to-bar chocolate, probably due to their physical store size (reframing from calling it a closet). Wish they sold Coleman & Davis' Del Oro. However, they have an extensive range of Domori, Amedei and Castronovo Chocolate. Staff is friendly and can answer entry level chocolate enthusiasts' questions.

Great little chocolate shop right by Union Square with exceptional chocolate. They also have an online store. Highly recommended if you are looking for something different than the chocolate you can buy in every supermarket.
