La Maison Du Chocolat

Very classy chocolates
Love their pistachio ganache
Their drinks & deserts are awesome
A+

The chocolates are tasty and the place is amazing. We can have taste of the chocolates before you can purchase some, which is great!

I don’t know how anyone can walk into this store and not be tempted to buy something (or everything!). My friend bought me a chocolate cake, made up of 3 distinct layers infused with a hint of fruitiness and champagne. What can I say, it was DIVINE. I made sure that no part of this 1“x4“x2″ piece of beauty went to waste. If you’re looking to splurge on a nice piece of chocolate cake, this is definitely the place to go!
It’s unfortunately quite pricey, but at least get a free sample before you go.

This is a great spot for someone to come and try a few chocolates or macarons. Great for tourists to take back home as gifts. Great for special occasions. Definitely on the pricier side though. I wouldn’t come back and keep trying it. I chose the only ones that really got my attention. Coffee flavored because I love coffee. Passion fruit because it’s a new fave fruit flavor I like and this was a great tasting chocolate. Then one with a spicy note — with cocoa beans from Ghana! Interesting taste. The macarons I chose– passion fruit and coffee :) very very yummy!

This chocolatier is my most favorited and my most coveted. Unparalleled skills when it comes to chocolate making. Each piece is divine and I look forward to that brown box with the brown bow. I love the assorted boxes because it gives me a chance to try new or keep getting my favorites. My favorites are the Praline collection (yes, yes all of them), the Rigoletto Lait, Rigoletto Noir and lastly the Cannelle. Yes, these are pricey but so worth it. La Maison is a must stop in the city.

The chocolate here has to be one of the best I’ve ever tried. Their milk chocolate pieces are so creamy & delicious. each piece is a work of art! I love that this location has a few tables & seating in the back where you cam enjoy a cup of hot or cold chocolate and eat dessert. I haven’t tried their macarons yet, but I definitely will the next time I visit.
A bit expensive for chocolate but so worth it.

Their chocolate is a melt-​in-​the-​mouth piece of goodness. Splurge and treat yourself? Now, it’s my go to chocolate stop after work. The girl working the day i went was very helpful but one star taken off for the high prices. Overall, great experience. Will be going back!

Loved the raspberry macaroon! Best one that I have had in the city so far.

Picked up a small box of chocolates and macaroons as an addition to my Father’s Day gift– was a hit! Highly recommend anything from this store, absolutely delectable! :) the girl who helped me was super friendly and informative, and the store itself is very upscale and beautiful, and the ppl are friendly and personable when you walk in– thumbs up!

My FAVORITE chocolate in the world. SO GOOD. The best chocolates here are their milk chocolate pralines. I know it’s pricey at ~$ 2.50 a piece, but it’s worth it. So creamy and bursting with flavor and texture.
They also have other types of chocolates here like ganaches but I still love the pralines the most. They also have macarons which are really good, too. They also serve teas, some cakes, and ice cream.

The hot chocolate is sooo rich! It’s at least 5 times as the amount of chocolate goes into regular hot chocolate in Starbucks. Not to mention the chocolate is from la maison du chocolate. Completely worth the penny. The hot chocolate is pre-​made and saved in a bottle. But it is equally delicious!

Not impressed with there macaroons too soft and crumbled to pieces as I was taking a bite. However I had more than macarons as I’m a chocolate lover. I’m not sure what it was probably just cake but they called it the dolice I believe. It was simple heaven. Customer service was great and they have a repeat client.

This location has gone downhill horribly since my review in 2011. The focus is only on the truffles. Drinks, cakes, and other desserts are always out of stock and they almost never bring any more in.
The staff is still nice but I’ve come in and had horrible staff that looks like they were yanked from the projects and given a job. For a company that’s high end, they need to have some sort of standard when it comes to hiring someone with an ability to speak properly.

I stumbled upon this place and since I LOVE CHOCOLATE, the display grabbed my attention right away. When I walked in, I was browsing a bit to see if there was something interesting that I could purchase. The sales lady wasn’t very approachable and didn’t really explain anything to me when I asked her about some of the chocolates and macaroons.
The selection wasn’t too big but I feel like there was just enough variety. I tried a small dark chocolate truffle that the sales lady offered and the texture was very very good. You can taste some complexity in the flavor between the hard chocolate shell, the soft inside and the dusted cocoa powder. I will say, that this place is very pricey. Definitely not the kind of chocolate you want to just munch on if you’re having a bad day (not that I do this) unless of course, you’re loaded and can afford to do so. However, with that said, they also have a small sitting area where you can have some hot chocolate and desserts. Almost the way you would in France. I did not have their hot chocolate or desserts but the patrons I saw seemed to be enjoying it.
I didn’t end up purchasing anything because of the prices. I wasn’t ready to spend that much after I had already dropped a good chunk on my earlier appointment. But I plan on coming back and being a bit more ready to fork out some serious cash on fine chocolate.

I feel bad adding a 3-​star review here.
I found this place on Unilocal and I felt like I must visit this place because of its highly rated reviews. I walked in and was surprised how small this place is. Well again, it is the city so everything is pretty much tiny and crammed.
I was more surprised by how small the selection of flavors was for their macaroons. I think because I was there fairly early, they didn’t make everything ready just yet. I ordered a couple of small macaroons because they didn’t have large ones just yet.
I found their macaroons a bit too dry and a little uninteresting. And I was trying to snap a picture of the macaroon price tag and this lady showed up from nowhere and said «NO PICTURES!» Otherwise, the service was un-​enthused even though I was the only customer there.
This place is definitely adorable though! I love its interior décor!

Two things that’s keeping me from frequenting this place: diet and price.
I had the delice pastry and if you love overloading on cocoa, this one’s for you. This pastry perfection is laced with fine almond and intense cocoa under a layer of rich chocolate. I swear I melted on each bite! It’s unbelievably rich, moist and balanced.
I would like to stress that this place is incredibly expensive but worth the price tag.

The macarons here are delicious – comparable to any of the best Parisian patisseries. Generally anything with chocolate here is divine, but the coffee macaron in particular is one of the most amazing things I have ever tasted in my life. Let’s just say that if I had to decide on a last meal for myself, a coffee macaroon from La Maison Du Chocolat would undoubtedly be on the menu.
On top of the coffee flavor, I’d also recommend trying the raspberry, lemon, hazelnut, and chocolate macarons. However it’s important to keep in mind that it’s called «The House of Chocolate» for a reason. The macarons are all filled with some sort of rich chocolaty mixture rather than buttercream or jam. Therefore the chocolate is normally the flavor that jumps out at you when you take a bite, and the more subtle notes of lemon or raspberry serve as underlying flavors.
Aside from the macarons, I’ve always wanted to sample the eclairs, tarts, and pastries here but I haven’t gotten around to it (yet).
The only issue I have with this place it that since the macarons are shipped fresh from France, the stock here is often limited, so. 4.5 stars.

They have really good and expensive hot chocolate. I came here twice, once for the macaroons and once for the hot chocolate.
The macaroons to me are slightly over priced, almost 5 dollars for a huge one. I rather get it from financier. It was way too sweet as well.
2^nd time, I bought a cup of hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was pre-​made and the server just «press» it from the pot for me. and are you kidding me. it’s 8 dollars ++ and to me, I think Leonidas has better hot chocolate.
They have lots of great stuff as gift but I think it’s way too expensive.

Passion Fruit Macaron — Perfect balance between sweet and tart.
Raspberry Macaron — A little more on the sweet side. I was hoping for more of that raspberry bite.
Chocolate Macaron — Very straight forward.
Assorted Chocolates — Everything I had from pistachio, raspberry, to coffee was all delicious. Melted and coated the mouth smoothly.
Champagne Truffle — These were delicious, however I was hoping for a more pronounced chocolate flavor.
OVERALL — Love it here. Will come back again.
Like I always say, YOU WON’T KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

Came in for the sole purpose of getting some macarons. I mean for a business that does its primary work on chocolates, they do a decent job on macarons as well. Not too shabby.
Very fancy setup they have here. I usually take my macarons to go, but I decided to stay and eat in because of the fanciness of the store. You can smell the aroma of the different types of chocolates they had to offer.
But the chocolates are not the reason why I came in. Again for their macarons. At $ 2.75 per macaron, this is something I’m not used to but you never will know how it is if you don’t try it. So I got two, one pistachio with a chocolate filling and the other was a raspberry with chocolate filling.
Again not bad for a chocolate making business.
The chocolate filling is what sets this particular macaron place different from other macaron joints. Again, this business has a primary duty of making chocolate so it has to be that good and yes, the chocolate filling does make the macaron experience a whole lot better.
They also have the big macarons for $ 5.00, but I’m glad I settled with the smaller of the two, because I’ve been eating constantly everyday when I arrived in NYC. Service was good. The servers all looked semi-​fancy and stuff.
