Cocoa Store

I really like this place and would absolutely return! It's a hidden gem, but getting up to the sixth floor is totally worth it, in my opinion, to witness and sample an incredible chocolate collection. I seek out 100% chocolate bars and The Cocoa Store has one of the best collections I've seen so far. The staff was incredibly welcoming and willing to sample anything. I left with several chocolate bars and the interest in going back for more!

Excellent selection! Great for gifts. We bought a bunch of individual flavored chocolates and the store worker labeled them for our custom box. Then we had a private chocolate tasting and bought a few bars. Very good quality chocolates from all around the world.

The person helping is so nice and the hot Chocolate is very reasonably priced for New York. The store is a bit hard to find but they do their best to have signs up. It’s on the 6th floor of the building.

So happy I found this store. They had a serious selection of incredible chocolate and wonderful staff in a warm and inviting environment. I had the chance to try several fantastic varieties of chocolate here and then purchased several others to try at home. They’re all sooo gooood… You have to check this place out if you love chocolate or if you want to experience the pleasure trip that craft chocolate can take you.

I rang the bell to this shop thinking I would just pop in and buy a few pieces. Little did I know what awaited me on the 6th floor. A magnificent enchanting gallery of exquisite chocolates from around the world! I was flabbergasted! I often visit chocolatiers in New York and during my travels but this is next level chocolate love 💜 Alexandra who kindly met us outside lead us through a mysterious hallway which opened into a gorgeous sunlit loft, beautifully decorated with chocolate combinations and companies I had yet to discover. Alex is a chocolate expert and offered us a detailed history on the origins and makers of some of the chocolates whilst simultaneously tasting them. This makes all the difference- using taste, touch, smell, and hearing to learn about a product. A fantastic experience. I learnt that theres not simply a specialization in dark chocolate anymore but chocolatiers are now having fun with milk chocolate and white chocolate too! Indeed there are now degrees of darkness within milk chocolate too… fascinating! It was difficult to choose but this is also an exciting new adventure because I will return to learn more and refine my palette. My chocolate was even packed with an ice pack because it was 90 degrees out. How considerate 🍫 What a wonderful gem of a shop! This is why I LOVE New York. Stepping back out onto the summer streets, my visit didn’t feel real. It was like stepping out of a fantasy tale, a secret place that only a few are privy too 🥰💜

I randomly found this store by chance and am so glad I did! The chocolate selection is incredible, with options and flavors from all around the world. The service is also incredibly genuine and personalized. Genevieve is so sweet and kind! I left with so many exciting chocolates to try. Can’t wait to come back or do a chocolate tasting in the future.

Beautiful store and it can be rented out for Events. If you want expertise in the world of craft chocolate, this is the place to come in NYC. They also do chocolate tastings at the store. In the spirit of transparency, I work in craft chocolate. I have seen stores all over Europe as well as the USA. The owner Pepi is a wealth of knowledge and passion on the topic. We just tried the SOMA brand lemon toffee bar today. Amazing. If you want to explore the world of craft chocolate, this is the place.

This is the best store in NYC. A carefully curated gallery of the best chocolate from around the world. It is a place of pure joy in a beautiful loft with gracious and welcoming staff there to help you understand the finer points of chocolate. If you care about chocolate at all you have to visit.
