Place for true chocolate lovers

by asian_shawty

I had a little hard time finding the shop, but it was worth walking and looking for. The hot chocolate is a must-have, and I never can forget the first sip. It's just so rich & creamy that thinking about it makes me wanna fly to NYC. I was on vacation and staying in NY only for a week so unfortunately didn't have a chance to buy a beautiful pieces of chocolate, but the hot chocolate (both regular and "wicked") definitely tasted like a heaven.

• Pros: Mouth watering chocolate drinks

worth the walk

gorgeous space. fabulous ambience. lots of things to do: browse the extraordinary selection of packaged and per piece chocolates, watch the chocolates being made (it is a large factory AND bakery), view educational videos about the making of chocolates and -- of course -- EAT CHOCOLATE. lovely bar to buy fresh pastries and various chocolate drinks. the hot chocolate is legendary and DEFIES description (it is THAT good!). also not to be missed the giant chocolate chip cookie and the mudslide cookies. both have loyal followers. and both deserve it.

• Pros: extraordinary chocos, beautiful space

If you love chocolate...

by macandmac

If you love chocolate, this is your place. The smell alone is wonderful when you walk in. I believe anything you could cover in chocolate they have thought of it. The iced hot chocolate bar is great.

• Pros: Unique, quality
• Cons: expensive

Perfect for a first date...

by shiddo

The best chocolate place in the city. Ideal for a first "getting to know you" date where you can sip on the deliciously wicked hot chocolate and indulge in a mudslide cookie. Definitely recommended!

A fantastical chocolate factory and gourmet shop in an off-the-beaten-path Soho warehouse.

In Short
Legendary chocolatiere Torres has had such success in DUMBO, he's expanded to this 8,000-square-foot space in Soho. Enormous windows allow passersby to see every step of the chocolate-making process; once inside, a cozy chocolate brown color scheme surrounds shoppers picking up truffles, chocolate bars, hot chocolate mixes and much more. A petite cafe caters to those who prefer to linger over rich hot chocolate and fresh-baked French pastries.
