I thought Mariebelle's was decent, but nothing beats Chocolate Bar for the best chocolate in the city. CHOCOLATE BAR WEST VILLAGE Alison Nelson reopened her West Village location just steps away from her pioneering original Chocolate Bar: 19 Eighth Avenue between 12th Street & Jane, NYC (West Village) www.chocolatebarnyc. com/ info@chocolatebarnyc. com

Of the chocolate shops in SoHo, Kee's, Divaliscious, Vosges, Jaques Torres and Mariebelle's, Mariebelle's is without a doubt the most overpriced and less than mediocre shop. The shop is beautiful. The attitude and the undeserved pretension is plentiful. The designs on each chocolate is a cocoa butter decal that has been most sloppily slapped on each bon-bon. Some of the ganache flavors are inventive but the base chocolate that claims to be a single origin Colombian bean is just not very good. Exceedingly poor quality and grotesquely over-priced at 2.50 per piece. Look in the window but skip this shop and head over to Kee's just two blocks away on Thompson. Far better quality without the hassle of being judged by the staff at Mariebell's Pros: Pretty Cons: Everything else about this shop is a con: quality, price, attitude, customer service.

Making my way about Soho, checking out what is new and old I stop. I gaze through the window. What is this? It looks so interesting. Yes, they have food. Entering this establishment, I am immediately transported into another world. Old New York, artfully mixed with Paris. I wander to the back, past the beautifully packaged chocolates. I find myself in a tiny, private space. I feel as if I am in an old faded post card. The girl next to me with the nose ring is assurance that I haven't stepped through a looking glass. All the hustle and bustle of New York quickly fades away. I am greeted by a lovely girl with an accent. Hot Coca? But of course! I order the American style with cream. I've had hot cocoa in Paris at Angelina's and here at Max Brenner's, both great, but no comparison to this. Thick, creamy, supper rich dark chocolate. Out of this world! I order the lunch too, salmon crepe. Pillowy light crepe with a slightly sweet salmon. Delicate and delicious. Worth the wait and disjointed service. I can not say enough about MarieBelle's. A Magical place that is all too rare in New York anymore. 5 Stars!

Yum. That's all I can say. The chocolates are printed with the most whimsical graphic images. There is a little cafe in the back. I like the spice aztec hot chocolate the best. Worth the price. Get a small one, it's very filling.

The place has great crepes and chocolate. It is a bit cramped but still worth the time. Definetly try the spicy hot chocolate.

MarieBelle Chocolates has very good chocolate and I enjoy going there every once in awhile for their Aztec hot chocolate. They have this bar called the Cacao bar where you can drink the Aztec brew and get that chocolate buzz going on. The chocolates are very expensive so go only when you really want good chocolate and not a snickers.

Chocolate is one of my favorite things, and I don't care what anyone says, a Hershey bar is just not as good as gourmet chocolate. And it's not just because they taste different. There are a lot of factors that go into this. For one, it feels so much NICER walking into a chocolate shoppe- it's got that strange mixture of Paris and Florence- than a convenience store. Secondly, there's the packaging. Mariebelle's has even better packaging than Godiva's if you can believe it- work of art!

What is it about chocolate that is just so Oom Oom Good? MarieBelle Chocolates is one of the cities best kept secrets. You can smell the hot chocolate when you pass by the store and the chocolate in the display cases look like little treasures. They also have this Cacao Bar where you can drink the most yummiest Aztec hot chocolate. Like all good chocolate it cost's a pretty penny but man on man is the chocolate worth it.

Mariebelles' hot chocolate is rich and creamy and you haven't lived until you tried their Aztec hot chocolate. One of the better kept secrets in New York. Just one sniff inside the store and you will be transported back to a time when all that mattered in your life was candy. Beautifully wrapped chocolate in colorful boxes line the store and the cocoa bar is a wonderful place you can relax and enjoy your hot chocolate.
