The Chocolate Bar in the West Village is a relaxed store where is it easy to feel at ease. Their new store in Henri Bendel's is not at all the same. The employees are rude and s...

Yummy chocolate! 9/18/2002

A friend of mine and I popped in here to get a box of chocolate for a cocktail party we were going to. Oh man, was that ever a good idea! The chocolate is really beautiful and unique looking, and man is it yummy! I highly suggest the hazelnut milk chocolate squares - really darn yummy! Aesthetically speaking, this little shop reminded me of London since there is a strong attention to simple, yet bright colored design in both the restaurant and the packaging. A big plus is that it's open until 10 pm, so you can definitely pop in there to get some chocolate after a local meal. Also, the people behind the counter are as sweet as the chocolate! Pros: Tastey, Later hours, Fresh Cons: Tad expensive more

BrowniesandEspresso 9/11/2002

Read their review in the Post. The brownies are the best in the city, and the espresso was first class. I didn't have a chance to try the chocolates, but they were beautifully decorated. Will have to try on my next trip. The staff was pleasant and the vibe is great for a quick after-dinner indulgence. My friend had the spicy hot chocolate and raved. more

A Most Chocolatey Spot 8/26/2002

Just like the New York Times said; ""For those with a craving, a most chocolatey spot!"" Spicy brownies, fat cookies, chocolate clusters with either peanut butter or strawberry shortcake centers, dessert sauces, truffle lollipops, chocolate bars and assorted truffles fill the shelves at the bright new Chocolate Bar. They carry only the work of New York bakers and chocolatiers, including Jacques Torres, Garrison Confections, Sweet Bliss and Lunchbox. The shop also sells out-of-this-world coffee, iced chocolate drinks and chocolate-flavored teas. Pros: Fat cookies, Spicey Brownies, inexpensive more

Yummy! 8/25/2002

Chocolate Bar is yummy! It's a cute little shop with all kinds of chocolate from cookies to truffles to drinks. I liked the classic hot chocolate best. The staff is super nice and attentive and even answered all of my sister's one million questions. I suggest Chocolate Bar to anyone who likes Chocolate. You're sure to find something here you like. Pros: yummy, friendly, fun Cons: not good is on a diet more

chocoholic dream 8/24/2002

Read about this place in Lucky. The staff was well-informed and the selection was great. I loved the brownies--truly fudge-like. But the real find was the coffee. Starbucks no more. This stuff is GOOD. more

Fresh & Gooey; It's Paradise! 8/24/2002

For those who can never have enough chocolate, the Chocolate Bar offers fresh temptation. 90% of the fare is chocolate, and the remainder is chosen to go with chocolate. Jacques Torres' and Andrew Shutts' truffles and chocolate bars, chocolate biscotti ($2.25), chocolate-chip muffins ($2), chocolate truffle lollipops ($3.75) and chocolate clusters packed four in a box so you can have one for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a bedtime snack ($13) so over-the-top, the surgeon general should hear about them. No bread at all: only a patty of organic chunky peanut butter and jam dipped in chocolate and drizzled with darker chocolate. Most of the customers try chocolate drinks, either classic, spicy hot ($3) or cold ($3.50). Pros: sooooo good!, Inexpensive, Rich and Creamy more

Mamma Mia, that's good stuff! 8/2/2002

Ihave only three things to say about this place . . .OH MY GOD!! Went with two friends and we DEVOURED a 12 piece box. Absolutely the best chocolate by far I have had here in NYC. The hot beverages were outstanding. Chocolate Bar's enthusiasm for great, simple ingredients are magnificantly showcased here. Just bought the hot chocolate tin and can't wait to start cooking this stuff up at home! Pros: Inexpensive, Quality Chocolate, Cozy seating more

Inexpensive Pleasures! 8/1/2002

After some effort, I finally had a date with a woman I'm crazy about. Wanting to impress her, I knew that I had to take her to Chocolate Bat. The room really allowed us to enjoy eachother's company. I had heard from a collegue that the store had enough exotic choices to be exciting without scaring off a less adventurous palate. The drinks are also fabulous and added to the romance of our evening. Chocolate Bar gave this romance a great start! I wonder if they do weddings? Pros: Romantic, comfortable!, Chocolate is sexy more

not the best, not the worst 7/30/2002

The other reviews seem so extreme on this establishment---either it's a ""10!"" or a ""1."" You'd think that it were family or friends and a high school rival writing these reviews. I went to Chocolate Bar--I don't think it's a ""1"", but not really a ""10"" either. It's a friendly place, nice assortment of chocolates, but it's pretty pricey. I probably won't be a regular customer because I don't think the prices are justifiable. But if you're in the West Village and strolling about, it's worth a pop in. Pros: friendly staff, nice decor Cons: pretty expensive, average product more

Scrumptious! 7/1/2002

Best Chocolate in America I recently discovered Chocolate Bar. I asked everyone outside what they were waiting in line for and they said in unison, ""Truffles!"" After I tried one, I knew why they waited. The white chocolate bars with candied nuts and fruits are the best in America. I swear. You won't be disappointed. I wish they were located in San Francisco. Pros: Chocolate Bars, Truffles, Shakers more

I'll Be Back! 6/28/2002

Yum, YUM! Not only a taste for the eyes, the cookie and muffins have to be the best tasting and prettiest I've ever seen. Spent an hour there this afternoon drinking gggggreat! coffee and really enjoying a biscotti that was dense and sweet and really, really good. In the Chocolate Bar bag was a special something for my 5 year old son; a chocolate Truffle lollipop wrapped in a silver foil which is the best I've have EVER had. I highly recommend going! A 24 piece box of exquiste chocolates are only $28. For a splurge or to impress, it would be well worth it. God, I wish I lived here! Pros: Muffins, Biscotti, Truffle pops! more
