Glace NY

Was curious about the hype. Would not wait in line for this but the hot chocolate was actually quite nice. Not too thick or thin, not too sweet or bitter. Very drinkable. Whipped cream was good. I could do without the torched marshmallows ring but I guess that’s their thing. It starts at $11 so be prepared for that. It’s not a ton of hot chocolate but it hits the spot for a sweet treat.

This ice cream shop is the perfect treat while strolling the city on a sunny day. Their chocolate flavors are especially amazing—rich, smooth, and satisfying every time. Great spot to cool down and indulge your sweet tooth!

Wow wow wow. This place is absolutely wonderful! I’m not one to really seek out ice cream or think twice about an ice cream shop, but Glace is striking in the best possible way. It’s incredibly aesthetic and well put together, the staff are kind, and the first impression was great. Even better? The ice cream itself. I got the seasonal lemon passionfruit sundae, and my goodness was it amazing. Lemon Greek yogurt soft serve, passionfruit curd layered throughout, and little meringue pieces to top it off. My only wish? A bit more seating so I could have enjoyed more of it before it turned to soup in the heat. I know Glace is known for their viral hot chocolate, but as a high quality ice cream shop, I loved it all the more. While it doesn’t overtly advertise it, I read that everything here is gluten free, and as someone with celiac, I can’t wait to come back and try more flavors! After just one visit, this has instantly become a new favorite in the neighborhood for me.

I’d only recommend this for those with a sweet tooth – it’s really sweet! They torch the marshmallow, but I’m not a fan of the burnt taste. That said, the white hot chocolate and brûlée were absolutely delicious. Tomorrow, I won’t be able to finish a whole one, so I’ll just have half!

We stopped at Glace for dessert and were thrilled with what we found. Their brown butter soft-serve with matcha sauce was incredible—rich, creamy, and beautifully balanced. We also tried a scoop of stracciatella, which held its own among the more adventurous flavors. They offer a wide variety of choices like crème brûlée, pistachio, cookies & crema, and even a “frozen hot chocolate” topped with marshmallows. While that last one wasn’t our favorite—it felt more like a chocolate slushie than a dessert—the staff were generous with samples and exceptionally friendly. It’s rare to find a place with both high-quality products and excellent service.

This place was an absolute highlight of my trip to New York! If you’re visiting during the winter months, it’s the perfect spot to warm up with a unique and indulgent treat. Their signature hot chocolate is unlike anything I’ve ever had before – it’s rich, velvety, and deeply chocolatey, with a texture that’s slightly thick, making every sip feel like pure decadence. The marshmallow cream topping is out of this world – soft, fluffy, and melts beautifully into the drink. You also get a wide variety of toppings to customize your drink to your liking, which adds to the fun and makes it feel truly special. If you’re a fan of ice cream, you’ll love their options, too! The ice cream is of exceptional quality, with plenty of flavors to choose from, allowing you to mix and match with the hot chocolate or enjoy it on its own. The ability to create different combinations makes it a spot you’ll want to visit more than once. Prices range between $12-15, which I found to be absolutely fair given the premium quality and the experience. Despite the high demand, the service was fast, efficient, and friendly. The staff was well-organized, and even with a line, it moved quickly. One thing to note: there aren’t any seating areas or places to stand and enjoy your drink inside the shop, so be prepared to take it to go. That said, the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the presentation of the drinks is so beautiful you’ll want to snap a picture before diving in. If you’re in New York, especially during the colder months, this is an absolute must-try! It’s not just a drink – it’s an experience. Whether you’re a hot chocolate enthusiast or just looking for something special, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended!

Saw this place on instagram and had to try it out. Worth the trip it was so delicious the rim it’s so beautifully toasted. Then the scoop of whip cream just tops it off! Came all the way from Toronto to try and must say would recommend.

A very sweet but delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream and torched marshmallow fluff. I had the sundae which has also ice cream and fudge. Amazing. There was a line but service is super fast and we didn’t have to wait much. They also have strawberries with matcha chocolate that look really nice. Thanks for everything and will come back to taste some more ice cream.

Phenomenal hot chocolate! Not over-hyped! I tried the Classic S'mores Hot Chocolate-- absolutely delicious. Better hot chocolate than no chewing allowed! Rich, sweet, creamy... but the true star of the show is the whipped cream and the marshmallow topping. All of the components meld together beautifully to create the best hot chocolate you will taste. I will definitely be returning to try their other hot chocolate variations!

The other reviews are accurate about the social media buzz at this spot. I'll even go as far as saying the hype and IG picturesque photos inflate the sense of taste here. Overall, I got a classic s'mores hot chocolate. It was good from the taste and sweetness level. I was expecting it to be sweeter because of the marshmallow halo and whipped cream, but it wasn't and that's definitely not a bad thing in my book. I liked the staff and thought they must be incredibly patient as they work through the hordes of people in line.

The most decadent hot chocolate with so many fun flavors to choose from. The staff was so sweet and welcoming. If you're a hot chocolate fan, this place is a must. Just as a warning though - make sure you're hungry because it's super rich and can be hard to finish!

Glad I tried but not sure it lives up to the hype. I wanted to get the toppings mixed into my ice cream (because they now have a coldstone) but maybe they don't actually do that? The staff was like we can put the toppings on top so I got a scoop of creme brulee ice cream with cookie dough and chocolate hard shell. While it was good ($8) it didn't knock my socks off. The tiramisu frozen hot chocolate was very bitter and left a lot to be desired. My friend and I split it and threw away half. The candy though is worth getting (I tried almost all of them). All had such great texture and flavor

I think this is such a fun and tasty treat! The hot chocolate is very good especially on a cold day! The marshmallow rim and icing is just an added treat! The vibe when you walk in is just fun and welcoming! Everyone working looks like they're busy but having fun at the same time! Definitely stop in if you're in the area.

The quintessential American dessert place - very sweet, hearty, and filling desserts grace this establishment. I went here to try the aesthetic marshmallow fluff hot chocolate and landed on the tiramisu hot chocolate. It was $14+tax which is quite steep for a hot chocolate, but it was good that we only got one to share since every single sip and bite is sugar overload. Way too sweet. The marshmallow fluff makes the drink aesthetic, and they torch it for additional flavor. The tiramisu one has an espresso shot in it, and the drink cost only $1 more from the classic so it was good value. There is whipped cream too but not the light whipped cream that falls flat easily - it's like a lighter marshmallow fluff so that too was sweet. The hot chocolate was good but I wouldn't get it for a drink but rather a hearty dessert. It wasn't too busy when we went Sunday but I'd imagine it'll be busier on a Saturday.

WORTH THE HYPE! I am constantly disappointed in viral foods on Tik Tok but let me tell you I was NOT disappointed when I went here. Had to wait in a little line but wasn't too bad and again was worth it. I'll be dreaming of this frozen hot chocolate probably until my next NYC visit.

The viral frozen hot chocolate brought me here last summer, which led me to coming in the winter to try their hot chocolate and now I am back for sundaes and their new candy store! All of the candies are imported from various European countries and soooo yummy. The staff is super friendly. It is always a great day when I walk over here and the line is nonexistent. Lol

The taste of the hot chocolate is awful. I came here because I see the huge lines and social media hype. I guess it gets hype because it's different and looks delicious. But I didn't think so - and so many others agree. The hot chocolate was so sweet that I thought it was undrinkable. But hey, at least I got a cute Instagram picture out of it.

Delicious!!! Worth the long line!!! The location is small but no one stays inside. The line moves pretty quickly. My suggestion would be to get the regular hot chocolate with the flavor on top you choose. But anything you choose will be delicious!

Finally got to try the hot chocolate. Lucked out and there was no line. Tried the cookies and cream hot chocolate. Absolutely loved the marshmallow rim and the chocolate crumbs. The hot chocolate wasn't too rich and paired nicely with the add ons. Perfect for this weirdly chilly spring day!

Got the classic s'mores hot chocolate topped with a chocolate gingerbread man. The drink looked beautiful-- perfect for the photos. It was delicious and I liked how the whipped cream melted nicely into the drink. Unfortunately, it is a bit pricey and I had to wait in line for 30 mins for this. Would def recommend trying this at least once though, preferably on a day when there's little to no lines.

Believe the hype. The hot chocolate was decent. I had the Ferrero rocher version and I found the marshmallow, whipped cream and Nutella and crumbs of hazelnut better than the hot chocolate itself . I wish I would've asked for regular hot chocolate because I probably would've liked it better. My friend said the classic s'mores was delicious. Ambiance is to just do a quick stop by as there is not a lot of space inside. Service was quick and friendly.

I finally tried the viral hot coco trending all over Instagram and TikTok. This was worth the wait, especially through the brisk cold weather. The two signature hot chocolates were the Tiramisu S'more and Ferrero Glace. When you place your order, the people behind the counter instantly toast your marshmallow cup in front of you and get a waft of toasty marshmallow goodness. Please be attentive and quick on what you want to order since there is a long line of people waiting outside in the cold who want to warm up and place their order too. The tiramisu s'more hot coco was quite strong on the espresso shot mixed with the hot coco but got smoother with each sip paired with taking small bites of the marshmallow goodness. Before I knew it, I finished drinking it and scooped every bit of the marshmallow and whipped cream. The Ferrero Glace which is loosely based on the Ferrero Rocher was a milky and soft approach. It wasn't the same as taking a bite from a Ferrero Rocher but ideal for someone who prefers a slightly heavy and milky hot coco. However, the Nutella drizzled on top of the whipped cream was dense and not appetizing. I personally like the Madison Avenue location over the Rockefeller Center since it nearby Museum Mile (5th Avenue) and Central Park. So ideal spot to try then take a small walk to the nearby museums. As a reminder, this is a viral and expensive hot chocolate so prepare your wallet to pay $15+ depending on which Signature Hot Chocolate you order

Love! Love! Love! I had the tiramisu and my honey got the original. Both hot chocolate's were soooo delicious.

The lines can be long - especially during the winter season but if you want to get a "fun" hot chocolate then this is the place for it! One thing that I really enjoy about the place is that they offer limited time/seasonal flavors. One of my favorite from them was when I got the matcha flavored hot chocolate!

When you walk around UES in the evening it's generally pretty quiet up until you stumble into Glace, the only dessert shop popping off right now. My friends and I waited for maybe 10 minutes before we ordered and we got the smores hot cocoa with the marshmallow rim and whipped cream, and we also got the apple pie a la mode with brown butter soft serve to go. First thoughts - the hot chocolate is definitely worth the hype. I was such a fan of the torched marshmallow and the hot cocoa itself, really yummy winter treat. The apple pie sundae was pretty good (warm apple pie and ice cream; what's not to love), but if I were to come back it would be for their hot cocoa.

Pretty expensive however really really good ice cream. The brown butter vanilla soft serve in a cone is to die for

$$$ but worth it. I stood in line for about 15 minutes. It's definitely an Instagrammable spot.From the chocolate tap to the marshmallow halo torching. I really enjoyed watching them creat my drink. You have to try the hot chocolate. I couldn't finish mine but really tried. I got the Ferraro Glaçé with hazelnut hot chocolate and it was a dream. Workers were friendly and plenty of room at the counter in the back to take a quick snap of your creation before you leave. I would love to try the ice cream sandwiches in the case, but that's for another time. Of course everything is gluten free which is amazing Grab a napkin to hold the cup with or bring a sleeve cause I carried this an avenue to central park and my hand was on fire.

100% worth the trip down Madison. Quick service, friendly staff with delicious treats. $12-15 per item but totally worth the hype.

This place is so yummy! When I went in it was pretty dead but usually I see the line down the street. The classic smores hot chocolate was sooo yummy. It is perfect for a cold day walking around UES. The service was super quick and so kind!!

After finding Glace on Instagram back in January, I made sure I set out to try my first Glace famous hot chocolate and OH MY HEAVEN in a cup, this was the best hot chocolate EVER! The creamy whip topping and creme brulee hard topping was a perfect combo. If I could try every flavor , I so would. Service was quick and they were super nice ! I loved the truck , so cute !!! Hands down a must try while in NYC!

I've been seeing Glace's hot chocolates all over my tiktok ever since last year, but I never got around to trying anything until they opened up this location which is near me. I also knew they had some sundae/ice cream offerings, and when my sister and I saw that the seasonal special was apple pie a la mode, we had to try it. We ended up getting the apple pie and the ferrero hot chocolate. I was honestly super disappointed by the hot chocolate-- it basically tastes like straight up melted chocolate (NOT what hot chocolate is), and it wasn't served to us hot. Literally 3 minutes into consuming it, it was already cold, which made it super unenjoyable. I wouldn't get the hot chocolate again. THAT APPLE PIE though? I'd definitely go for one of their sundaes again and would recommend the soft serve over their hot chocolates. These two items together came out to something like $26 if I'm remembering correctly-- kind of an insane price, so just something to keep in mind.

I finally made it to Glace, and I was thrilled that there was no line. The hot chocolate was delicious. I had the classic, while my kids enjoyed the cookies and cream. The flavor was rich and satisfying, definitely not watered down. However, while it was good, I wouldn't have waited two hours for it. Was it worth the hype? Yes and no, yes for the taste, but no for the price I spent 50 on 3 hot chocolates and one cone . Also, the space is very small more than eight people can't fit comfortably.

During my New York trip, my friends and I stopped by Glace. Everyone went for their famous hot chocolate, but I decided to try the tiramisu ice cream instead. It was super creamy, rich, and definitely filling. My friends tried different flavors of their hot chocolate, Cookies & Cream, Ferrero, and S'mores. Most of them are priced around $13 to $14, but more than just a drink, it's really about the experience. Since they're pretty popular right now, the lines are long, and seating is limited, so keep that in mind. Overall, I enjoyed what I had, and my friends did too. I'd definitely come back on a cold day to try their hot chocolate!

Hole in the wall. Literally one person working. Cant even imagine if it got busy. Interesting concept anyway - but for me, I have tried it once and that could be enough. Cute, trendy idea and decor, very nice person working. Hope this idea sticks around for their sake.

This is a viral spot that actually lives up to the hype. For hot cocoa at a price of $11-14, this isn't an everyday thing and very a decadent treat. When we came there was absolutely no wait and were in and out in about 5 minutes. There are spots to sit outside and enjoy the hot chocolate but overall a very small store. When you enter they immediately start toasting the marshmallow and any of the drinks are aesthetically pleasing. I enjoyed the tiramisu hot chocolate and this is easily a shareable drink. This is something you should definitely try once.

We tried 3 different hot chocolates (hazelnut, cookies & cream, peppermint). I loved the toasted marshmallow mixed with the homemade cream in the middle. I'm a huge fan! I liked all the flavors but I'd say just go with the one you're feeling and I don't think you'll go wrong. Staff here was very friendly and helpful with making a flavor choice.

We waited nearly an hour in line to order our hot chocolates but they were delicious! The shop itself is small & a bit overpriced but it's worth trying especially to get in the festive spirit before the holidays.

I saw this place pop up on my Instagram and knew it had to stop in when we arrived there was a small line and we were informed they were sold out of the frozen hot chocolate which it's really what I wanted but I stayed because I was really curious about the marshmallow rim they add. Once it was my turn to order I was informed they were sold out of the waffle cone and the chocolate mousse. I was super bummed out but the nice gentleman told me that he would give me free marshmallow so I stuck around. I got a scoop of chocolate brownie ice cream with a marshmallow rim and brownie pieces on top. The entire wait staff was really nice though. I went around 6:30pm so I'm not surprised things were sold out next time I'd defintely come earlier in the day. Anyways the ice cream and the marshmallow rim were really good I liked the toasted marshmallow with the rich chocolate ice cream. The shop is small so you need to be quick with the order and keep the line moving. I'll defintely come back to try more of their delicious sweet treats.

THE viral hot chocolate that you've likely seen on TikTok or Instagram. Glacé (pronounced "gloss") is the innovative Upper East Side hot chocolate shop spawned from Noglu, a gluten free bakery on the same block. The cups are aesthetically pleasing, delicious, and about $20 with tax. I saw people waiting 1-2 hours in line for these festive cups at the 30 Rock location, but on a weekday afternoon on the Upper East Side (the week of Christmas), there were only a few people in line, and I had my hot chocolate in about 10 minutes. I opted for the seasonal peppermint rendition, which came complete with chocolate gingerbread man and crushed candy cane pieces on top. They pipe and torch the marshmallow to order, so it was soft and gooey, and tasted great. The hot chocolate was more watery than I prefer, and the creation overall was too sweet. I have a serious sweet tooth, and could not finish it. I think adding a little sea salt or using a slightly darker chocolate would have greatly helped the cause.

So over hyped! Let's start with the line. I got there with literally 1 group in front of me but it still took 20 minutes to get my hot chocolate because of the ridiculous system they have set up. There's one person that only does the drinks and the other only does the register. When there's no customers at the register, wouldn't it make sense for the other person to help out? Nope! Just standing there doing nothing. I can't imagine how slow this is when there's an actual crowd. No wonder there's always a line! Whatever, the important thing is the taste. Which better be good for over $11 a cup! I got the viral s'mores hot chocolate which comes with a marshmallow rim and a scoop of whipped cream. The toasted marshmallow and whipped cream are both actually great! The problem is the hot chocolate itself. It's not thick at all, it's thin - basically swiss miss. Its not worth the price or hype. Do yourself a favor and go to Angelina's and get their hot chocolate if you want actual thick drinking chocolate with quality taste. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless all you care about is the toppings and not about the hot chocolate itself.

Waited in line in 35 degree weather for this overly hyped hot chocolate but the line moved pretty fast. Opted for the traditional s'mores hot chocolate. Loved the toasted marshmallow rim and the combo with the whip cream. I get it now.

Recommend going to the UES location instead of the truck on Rockefeller. Service was quick, waited in line outside for ~20 mins on Xmas Eve at 2p. The drinks themselves are delicious!

We came here for the hot chocolate and it was good. They have some delicious gelato as well which I recommend. I liked the hot chocolate which was thick and had a strong flavor of chocolate. My friend ordered the apple pie and that to me was really good and I would definitely order that. It was pricey but I know that they very popular right now. Mhmm I did not pay so I'm not sure what the total amount was. I liked it but I do not see myself going back. There is no place to eat inside we sat in their outdoor seating. The service was great the employees were nice and kept the king moving along.

Been here a few times over the holidays and it's always a treat. I've tried the Oreo and the regular hot chocolate s'more one and the s'mores one is my absolute fav! Be wary it's tiny and there's barely any seating so maybe have a plan of something to do after if it's super cold! The service was friendly and the line wasn't bad but I also went on a weekday this past time at a random hour but I think typically there's arnd a 30 minute wait. So yummy!!

Finally made it here to check out this frozen hot chocolate (FHC) treat and was not disappointed. Got her right at opening on a weekday which unfortunately means that not all FHC options are available as they are still making some ingredients. We tried the cookies n cream FHC and the s'mores FHC. Both were delicious albeit similar creations. A fun cool sweet drink on a hot day. While they are on the pricier side, they're worth at least a visit and I would go back to try some of the other flavors. If there was a long line (over an hour as some have reported) I don't think this is worth that kind of wait.

My review for the Glace by Noglu truck at Rockefeller Center. A few weekends ago I had gone to see the Olympic Games at Rockefeller Center and spied people eating ice creams in large cups. After asking a couple I saw the famous truck. Looking at the menu, I decided on the Yuzu Meringue.for the princely sum of $13.95. This had frozen yuzu, marshmallow, whipped cream and pie crust. With tax etc., it was an expensive ice cream. I sat down to eat and after I ate the topping and meringue what remained was a slushy frozen lemonade. Really? If I had to wait in line for an hour for this I would hope that someone would take my temperature or give me smelling salts. With TikTok and media fanfare, Glacé by Noglu has struck gold. The ice creams have creativity but still is just ice cream with meringue and decorations on top.

Been on the list for a while. Glad to finally try it. Long line but it moved and seemed like no shortage of hot cocoa. Good to have once in your lifetime. Rich hot cocoa, rich heavy cream and sweet meringue around the rim. Savored it and even had cream leftover. Great on cold Dec day. Go try it. So worth it even though it is a bit costly.

This is absolutely worth the hype! And life pro tip: they just opened up a truck in the Rockefeller area so if you can't make it uptown maybe stop by there? There was literally no line and virtually no wait for my S'mores Frozen Chocolate order. The drink itself is rich and thick, like a good chocolate milkshake. The marshmallow rim wonderfully toasted and it comes with a dollop of cream and a drizzle of chocolate shell to take it over the top. It is a bit pricey at $11 a cup, but well worth a try at least once!

This was fun and novel to get once, but not something I'd wait in line for again. The marshmallow halo is delicious and the hot coco is pretty good. But my big qualm is it was hard to enjoy the whipped cream in the hot chocolate. I tried to use my spoon to push it in, but the hot chocolate immediately shot out and made a big stain on my jeans. It was too full to mix easily. So we had to wait until we had eaten pretty much all the topping to sip and enjoy it mixed in. Made it way less enjoyable. For that reason I advise getting one with fun toppings

Stopped here while bouncing around on a Saturday. Being somewhat in the neighborhood, I had this place on my list for a pop-in so we walked up from the Tram and grabbed a frozen hot chocolate to share. I had seen this online by NYC foodie posters - and it was still really good. $10.50 for a small glass was kind of steep but honestly - the two guys working were very friendly and held a convo with me about Seinfeld. I liked the marshmallow and the scoop of whipped cream on top. Very solid and a nice treat while bouncing around the upper east side.

I'm surprised how delicious this treat was. I got the chocolate chip cookie frozen hot cocoa ($14) and I was really expecting the cocoa to be overly sweet, but it wasn't. The melted marshmallow on top of the cup was very soft and delicious. I'm not a fan of marshmallow and I thought this was fantastic. I went around an hour before closing time on a weekday so it wasn't packed, definitely give this place a try, it went viral for a reason. They have outdoor seating but it is limited so I hope you're able to snag a seat or just go on a walk and enjoy it. I recommend coming here!

I stopped by as I was shopping in the area and decided to try the viral hot chocolate. I was praying I would not be disappointed & I in fact, was not. The hot chocolate here is amazing! I got the classic s'mores and my s/o got the white chocolate brûlée. They were both amazing! The service was quick, although there was a line outside the establishment but it was fast. There isn't any seating, but the aesthetic is very girly. I would recommend to anyone & I am definitely coming back!

I dunno man. White people love to stand in a line, don't they? The drink is bitter, which is sweetened by the marshmallow topper. I wanted to be able to smush it into the cup but that was tricky. The staff was friendly and cranking these drinks out, getting it done. Smaller shop with tables outside. I walked so not sure about the parking.

Wow wow wow! This place is absolutely awesome! Came here to try a fall special and went with the Apple Cider. It was absolutely delicious and the marshmallow topping was great. Definitely recommend this spot for a good drink and excited to come back for their hot chocolate later in the fall!

New Yorker lining up like tourists lol Very well worth the wait. Line goes fast and the staff is well organized. Place has not seats inside. Granted, I'm a sucker for burnt marshmallows nonetheless, the hot chocolate is actually tasty. Not too sweet but delicate yet potent enough to enjoy the entire cup!

Glace by Noglu is the internet viral hot chocolate in NY. My friend had tagged me in one of their posts shortly before my trip, so I made a point to visit when I was in NY a couple of months ago. They open at 11am, and my cousin and I were there right when they opened, and there was already a long line. We waited about 20 minutes to get through the doors. The hot chocolate is upwards of $10 each. I got the peppermint hot chocolate $12.50 and it was good, it tastes like a regular peppermint hot cocoa to me. I guess what sets it apart from other places is the torched marshmallow fluff. Cute place to grab hot chocolate!

Now, I really really wanted to rate this higher. I really did. The more I thought about it the less I liked it. I won't be purchasing this again. It was too much chocolate, and the ratio to what I think is frozen yogurt (could've been ice cream) was not great. The quality of the chocolate however was really good, it was very rich, but that's all I tasted. It was so small, it felt like I had a boujee cup of chocolate milk. To spend a little over $11 for this? I expected so much more. The price, to size, and then taste was just not it. Don't get me wrong though, the service from the two employees was VERY good. The one employee was very helpful towards me when I was deciding. She was very sweet. The space was small but adorable, everything was so cute. Whenever I do end up coming back though, I'd rather try their regular ice creams.
