Here is marvelous chocolate café.
If enjoy eating sweet things, must go there. Then, you can meet pretty deco, a lot of beautiful cups, and very sweet chocolates.

Came in after brunch, did not notice this place before, but it caught my eye because of the gelato booth outside
Went in and was amused by the interior, it was spacious in there and decorated like the European dynasties. You walk in and the first thing you see is more gelato. everything is well decorated and you feel pampered just by walking in.
The more you walk in, the more chocolate options you see, this would be a perfect place to get someone a gift, the packaging are just amazing. you will then see chocolate bars of different kind of flavors, even in matcha green tea flavor. The wrapping of the bars are also very interesting. to prevent spoilers, go check them out yourself! you wont be disappointed.
There are also samples here and there for the chocolate. and there is a whole counter of more delicate chocolate pieces where you can get them in boxes
The inside, is a café! i bet no one really knows about — they have cakes, pastries and of course you could enjoy coffee or hot chocolate in there.
Very relaxing and definitely very classy and pretty
will definitely come back and get the chocolates as gifts and check out their cakes!

Dedicated to all sweets and chocolate lovers. It’s magic place in old Europe style, classic music, huge selection of adorable packed chocolate on any taste. Plus small cute café with great service. Here you can get tea, coffee, hot chocolate and many more different drinks and deserts.

Came here today for the first time, loved the décor, displays of chocolates and the back room where you can sit and eat a light lunch or dessert and hot chocolates.
I ordered regular coffee and a lemon meringue pastry and the waiter brought me my coffee that was made with espresso and explained that they don’t make regular coffee there and here comes the best part, he heated my tart and brought over to me expecting me to eat it hot.
I asked him, why would you heat my dessert, he explained, all customer want their dessert warm and because they are way too cold we have to heat them. I asked, do you heat the moose desserts as well, he stated YES. We heat all deserts.
I was in shock and asked to take it back and bring me my check. I also forgot to mention, when he took the dessert back, he was shouting in the back with another co-​worker in spanish assuming I didn’t understand what he was saying about me.
Bad customer service, really turned me off, left and went straight to Laduree for better service, taste and no heating for any desserts. Last I checked, you eat dessert cold unless you ask to warm it up!
Management, if I am wrong and there is a reason to why you warm all your desserts, please reply back with a good reason, otherwise, retrain your employees and no badmouthing the customer where they can hear you!

Perfectly decorated and amazingly good selections of fine chocolate !
I felt I became a child once again in this vintage candy shop!
Ps. They also have great options for deserts and gelato

Very cute chocolate store in Soho. My friend recommended this place while we were shopping in the area so we stopped by, and boy, am I glad! They have the cutest café area in the back of the store where they sell stuff like smoothies, mini cakes, etc. The interior design is very impressive and something you would expect from a café that’s in the neighborhood of SoHo. They offer a variety of chocolate gifts that’s a little pricey but worth checking out.

This is good chocolate. Is it the best chocolate? No. But is it the fanciest, overpriced chocolate that would make nice gifts? Yes, definitely. As a native New Yorker, the only time I ever find myself here are to bring my tourist friends here to buy chocolate for their friends back home, or to try samples of their fairly decent chocolate.
Other than chocolate, there’s a nice little dessert café in the back, and gelato in the front. Either of which I never found myself wanting to indulge in, but I sure do love bringing tourists here for them to gape and moan at.

Stumbled on this place by surprise, but it was a great experience. This place is cozy and elegant. We ordered the Aztec hot chocolate and Americano, and a small matcha desert that i can’t remember the name of. The hot chocolate was unlike any other I’ve had. Rich and chocolatey with hints of coffee. The small room was intimate and fun. The decoration was beautiful, the chandeliers were the highlight of the room.
Service was decent. Furthermore, a great place and I would definitely come back.

Great place to enjoy chocolates & gelato. Will gladly go back again! Next time I might bring a friend.

On the way to Ground Zero we spotted this chocolate shop and I wanted to stop! Cute place, but pricey! Very beautifully laid out and pretty. We especially enjoyed the little café in the back part of the store. The gentleman back there was very friendly and customer service oriented. We liked him immediately! We shared an Aztec hot cocoa and a dessert. Both were quite yummy! Love the ambiance of this place. Nice place to get a little treat for someone or get a little gift for someone.

This is a hidden secret in the city. I love the paintings and the décor of this place. Though, I am not a big fan of eating chocolate or sweets (I’m a fruit girl), the chocolate drinks and goods tasted really good. This is a place where you bring a special someone or have a co-​worker with. There is something about going to a random place and being surrounded by people using their low voice taking the time to taste chocolate delicacies makes the experience surreal.
I will definitely come back here again.

Solid 4 star. Excellent décor, perfect chocolate, decent service, price should be 2 dollar sign if u only order a drink and a dessert. One star deducted because of the cake doesn’t really stands out.
I ordered milky chocolate large and a passion fruit cake. I can’t even finish the large one. You can get a sample of your frds order too which is really nice. The sweetness is about right but not smooth enough. The cake is ok.
Plenty of tables available on a thurs afternoon. Stop by when u around soho area you’ll love it!

Great place to purchase gifts if you want to pair your whispered sweet nothings with chocolatey sweet somethings. Not only are the chocolate squares flavored with both standard and exotic goodness (think whiskey, strawberry, caramel, pineapple, lavender, cardamom) but each flavor has their own unique design that will impress any gift receiver.
During the holidays there are limited run designs as well. The chocolate bars have fun wrappers on them too if you’re not looking to custom make
your own chocolate box. Last time I was here there were 50s pin-​up girls on the bars.
The cocoa bar and tea salon in the back is beautiful and what you would expect of SoHo. The hot cocoa here is thick, rich, and complex with notes of cinnamon and other spices. I also had a strawberry smoothie which was refreshing albeit overpriced — they served it in a thick fountain glass so I didn’t get very much.

Such a cute store in SoHo! My friend dragged me along to this place after hearing that a fellow Honduran was the owner. I was a little skeptical at first but man I wish we had gone earlier to sit at the café place in the back. Rather, we ended up buying a can of the hot chocolate and a dark chocolate bar, both which were delicious. They have a variety of options to use as gifts or just to enjoy for yourself. It is a little pricey but they definitely have something great going on here.

Their hot chocolate can be made European Style: mixed with water or American Style: mixed with milk, with a choice of small or large. I had the Maya 70% Dark Chocolate with no sugar added. It’s quite bitter and thin when made with water. The temperature of the drink is very hot, so I had to drink it slowly.
Hot chocolate — Aztec 65% Dark Chocolate (water)
Size: small or large
Taste: the most bitter
Temperature: very hot, drink carefully
Texture: feels rich

The products are delicious. The lady behind the counter too snobby for my liking. Will probably be back with the kids cause they love the iced hot chocolate but will be prepared for a cold and icy customer experience.

A wonderful shop to get fancy gifts, especially chocolates! Came here with a friend to get a gift for a friend. I was mesmerized when I came into this place. It’s quite cute and has a luxury feeling to it! There are chandeliers, chocolate stacked in cute piles and individual chocolates with designs in the front. The décor is to die for.
There was one lady working in the area where they sold things and she was helpful. She gave recommendations and options. We were even offered a sample of their Aztec Hot Chocolate by her! Talk about great service! Unfortunately, I wasn’t too fond of it. It was too chocolately for me and found it hard to drink (Sorry, chocolate lovers!). However if you LOVE chocolate, I think you would love the Aztec Hot Chocolate.
Behind this store, there is the restaurant. Maybe I’ll try it one day. It seems fancy!
Anyways, we ended up getting the Matcha Chocolate Bar (I just love the design and the color of the wrapper. It was $ 10. If I personally received this, I would have kept the wrapper. Yes, it was that pretty!) and the Lychee Tea, which was in a tin jar (7 oz for $ 7 I think it was). My friend decided to get the individual chocolates for her family and she got the cilantro chocolates. It’s interesting to think that cilantro can go into chocolate. I admire their creativity. However, some of their items are quite expensive.
I will definitely come back if I am ever in need for gifts.
I’m sure anyone would love anything from this store. Check this place out!

Such a beautiful and cozy place. Mariebelle is beautiful. The employees are so sweet and friendly. The food and drinking were scrumptious. Had the Crème brûlée for the first time and I loved it. Also champagne and hot chocolate was the best. I def would go again !

I am in love with this place! Not only is it so cute, the food was delicious! The hot chocolates were nice and creamy; it really cheers you up! The smoked salmon crêpe absolutely melted in your mouth! I’m still dreaming of it. The caprese sandwich was nice and toasty, and it was very filling! It was the perfect thing to share between two people. The lava cake (I forgot what it’s exactly called) made me melt. It wasn’t too sweet, but the chocolate is pure bliss. Definitely going back here more often!

Lovely little chocolate shop. Came here on a visit into the city. Got some great little gifts for my family. Decorated beautifully. Would have liked to try the café in the back but didn’t have the time so will definitely try that next time I’m in NYC. Try the whiskey chocolate. Not a huge whiskey fan but wanted to try a new flavor. Only the slightest hint of whiskey which complimented the chocolate wonderfully. May order some online later.
Lady at the counter was helpful and explained anything we needed to know about certain things. Am looking forward to another visit in the future. A definite place to check out. Perhaps a bit pricey but I think nice for gifts, when trying to make an occasion a bit more special. Wish I’d come before Christmas because I’d have knocked out over half my list there.

Amazing chocolate
Their dark chocolate lava cake is HEAVEN.
The employees are really nice & funny.
This place has great food and drinks.
My favorite place.
So classy
A+

Do not under-​estimate the value of the small size for hot chocolate! I had the Aztec, European style (cocoa and water, no milk), and it was incredible… rich, chocolate-​y, amazing. I ordered the large because the small– possibly the size of an espresso shot– looked too small… well by the time I drank half of my cup, I was completely satisfied :)
Cute spot for bringing your mother or friends from out of town!

I’ve been wanting to come here for like years now (or however long since I first found out about this place lol) last night after dinner we took a short walk over here and sat in the adorable room they have. then I had amazing hot chocolate that finally came close to hot cocoa like in Paris! plus the tea cups just omg so perfect. it was just so perfect. I’d say this was my favorite place for hot cocoa in the city and I’ve been to pretty much all the places…

Just finished having 3 delicious hot chocolates, one large white chocolate with Tahitian vanilla, and two cups of small milk chocolate. Totally divine.
What ruined a usual great experience was the behavior of their immature and pushy store associate behind the register named Inbar.
I had brought forth two boxes of their clusters that I believed to be $ 7 each. They were tiny boxes so it was a safe assumption.
When she scanned them, I had already given her my credit card, as I was sure it would be $ 14 – 20 at most.
When she said it was $ 37, as in $ 17 each plus tax, I wasn’t even afforded a slight moment of thought before she completed the transaction and gave me the receipt.
Whilst standing there, I, of course was having second thoughts and figured I could exchange them for something else that I was looking at (their dual tins for $ 29). Keep in mind, I was still in the store, I hadn’t moved from my previous spot.
When telling her I wanted to at least exchange them for some other item, she nastily replied that she can’t help me, no matter what the circumstances were. No refund, no exchange, nothing. I was with my family who were looking to shop afterwards, so I didn’t want to bring it up with a manager and make a huge ordeal of it. But I’ll definitely be contacting their general manager and disputing the charges.
I love their shop for hot beverages, but I would never buy one of their products ever again. That nasty woman treated me as if I had taken the box outside and rummaged through them. I hadn’t even moved from the register!

I got the gift box from my boss, Mariebelle’s chocolates. Four measly ganache chocolates which costs from $ 12 – 15, as in at least $ 3 for a little bitty chocolate. This is really an LSD trip, as in bummer. The little pictures on the chocolates are cute, but who needs to ingest the dyes… And these smooth ganaches are frankly not very interesting, absolutely no variation in texture…
OK, the cinnamon taste of one was memorable. The rum raisin taste of another likewise… Still, be sensible and buy a big box of Russell Stover for the price.

The mocha hot chocolate is a must have!

Mariebelle is my absolute favorite chocolate store in the world. There are only three locations in the world where you can find their chocolate: NYC Soho, Brooklyn, and Kyoto (Japan). Their chocolate is very luxurious and their presentation is very exquisite. The ganaches are beautiful as they depict the NYC life through the fancy art on the ganache pieces. Their chocolate is more on the pricy side but its a good idea to treat yourself once in a while :)

I ventured out to Soho from Flatiron because I could not handle the disappointment City Bakery left me with after trying what they call «hot chocolate». It’s a sham, I tell you! A sham!
Mariebelle’s delicious white hot chocolate left me with smiles and comfort that there is good in the world and this hot chocolate is definitely it.
Thank you, Mariebelle, I will come back again and again for another cup of chocolate happiness.

This is my new favorite shop for deserts. The generous offerings of samples were a dream. The Bitter Dark Hot Chocolate, White Hot Chocolate and Pistachio cookie were unforgettable. Our server was very pleasant and as sweet as their menu.

Let’s get this out of the way: this place is expensive, but what can you expect from a fine chocoaltier? SUPER interesting flavors you MUST check out! I really enjoyed the lavender flavor chocolates as well as the cilantro flavored chocolates. The flavor really came through, ALMOST in an over-​powering kind of way, but just right. Wasn’t a huge fan of the assorted chocolate balls but lots of great options in here. I will definitely be gifting Mariebelle chocolates for Christmas.

Love the atmosphere. Loved the chocolate cake with icecream. Guava tea is so good! We split the combo for two. Just the right amount of food. Will come back next time we are back in NYC.

What a beautiful store! Poopface chocolate is amazing; it’s a work of art. They also offer a great variety of dairy free options. I love this place!

Much better experience during our 2^nd time. The server remembered us and was very accommodating and apologetic for our past experience. Food is still pricey but worth it! Love the salmon crêpe and Aztec ice!
Definitely recommended coming here if you’re in the area!

I do not normally write reviews but the service I received here forces me to (don’t worry, its on a positive note). I found this shop by chance while strolling down the area with a friend.
The interior is so fancy. The front offered a number of beautifully decorated chocolate with little samples on the side. The packaging is also beautifully done. The CaCao Bar is located in the back. I did not get to try too many things there but the Trianon was delicious. I had one serving there and bought another one to take home with me. The server was also very polite.
We did not regret entering this place and went back a second time bringing another friend with us. The experience during the second time was even better than the first!!!
Having entered the store at a late time (without realizing it was close to closing), we did not expect a full service as the server told us the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes and he would start sweeping. However, he kindly told us to take our time and took his time introducing the desserts and hot chocolate.
This time I ordered two of the mini pastries with a Trianon and Decadence cake to go while my two friends had the Trianon. As we were devouring those sweets, he would come chat with us. He also offered us some hot chocolate samples. Not only once, but twice. They were delicious. Each of us ended up ordering some hot chocolate to go (we got the large but it was kind of hard to finish).
I got the milk hot chocolate with freshly ground hazelnuts (highly recommended!!!), my friends got the white hot chocolate with natural banana pulp and white hot chocolate with Tahitian vanilla.
As we were finishing up, the server worried that my treats would be destroyed from sliding around in the box due to the extra space. He took his time to carefully tape down the bottom of each of my treats onto the box with double sided tape to prevent it from moving around. (By this time, the people at the front of the shop already finished cleaning)
As we were gathering our things, he alerts me about walking into warmer places may cause the desserts to melt. He kindly says his goodbyes and tells us to get home safe.
I have never met a server as caring as he was. I know workers at many other places would have grown impatient the moment guests walk in at such a late hour. This gentleman provided us more than a full service and the ladies at the front waiting to close the shop were very patient as well. I felt no negative aura from them (thank goodness haha).
Overall I think this place is truly wonderful. It may be a bit to the pricey side but it is totally worth it. Delicious chocolate and outstanding workers!!!
**The chocolate is veeeeeeery sweet though so beware.

3.5 Beautiful chocolate shop with all sorts of chocolate consumables — chocolates in a box, chocolate ganache cake, hot chocolate, etc. The back of the shop has seating where you can enjoy the store’s desserts after a long day of shopping in Soho (where this place is located).
The store’s products make beautiful gifts. The packaging and presentation are well executed. Seasonal chocolate gifts can always be found here!
Try:
The hot chocolate! Very sweet but perfect for chocolate lovers!

This is a really cute little shop with a café. A great stop when in Soho but man this place is crazy expensive. I had a chocolate with rice crispies sort of thing which was pretty good but I wasn’t about to spend a ton of money on chocolate that didn’t wow me.
Their spicy hot chocolate was pretty delicious. That I would get again!

When I walked into this shop, I felt like I was transported to a beautiful shop in France at the turn of the century. It is beautiful and decorated as if Louis IV or Marie Antoinette commissioned its décor. Sadly, I cannot comment about any of the chocolate as I didn’t buy any. It was loaded with chocolates, gifts, a beautifully decorated café in the back where one could order hot chocolate. My daughter and I were actually en route to somewhere else, but I had read about this place on Unilocal and wanted to see it for myself… I’m just sorry I didn’t make any purchase. Maybe next trip esp. now that I know where it is.
