Thank you, Ceefee, for your patience, thoughtful recommendations, and making gift shopping so effortless. You're a gem!

You have to get an assortment of the chocolates--there's something for everyone, and they always feel special and indulgent.

I suggest the following - bring your own tote so you don't have to pay for a bag (and you'll save a little paper, too). Pricey, yes--but for us, totally worth it once a year.

She took the time to go over the menu with me, gave me different options, and even shared her personal recommendations based on what she enjoys. I really appreciated that! She was also incredibly attentive, checking in with customers and making sure everything was taken care of while still keeping busy cleaning and resetting tables. You could really tell she genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. And of course, the ice cream was delicious! Overall, such a great experience, and Zamara definitely made it even better. She deserves a shoutout for her wonderful customer service!

No White and the hot cup of chocolate was a DRINK.. not hot chocolate milk / customarily what a Hot Chocolate lover wants. The chocolate was NO different than any other fancy European chocolate except a tad more expensive and comes with a "strong arm" salesperson that was quite obnoxious when you didn't want to buy a lb of chocolate for the same cost as a down payment for a car or... maybe even a house.

I love walking fifth avenue and sneaking in for my free sample. The store is well lit and very clean. Everything has a place on the shelf displayed evenly and tempting. Walking in you see freshly made chocolates with many colors and flavors. You are met with a giant Statue of Liberty made of chocolate and see the sign "Chocolate experience from Switzerland". Two worlds colliding to give a delicious taste. There's an overflowing section of small wrapped candies to choose from as well in the center where you can pick individually wrapped chocolate to make your own box of fancy treats. It's a hard decision to decide. However I love the slabs of fresh chocolate filled with nuts and fruits. My favorites are the Carmel and milk chocolate. This is the perfect gift for the one that has everything. If you plan on getting me something... HINT!

Neapolitan White Chocolate Truffles: Swiss chocolatier Lindt has been crafting and perfecting their…read morechocolate for over 150 years (since 1845). The Neapolitan White Chocolate (NWC) variety is part of their limited time spring collection and was first introduced in 2020 (to the best of my knowledge). I'm going to begin with a brief tangent for those of you unfamiliar with Neapolitan Ice Cream. Supposedly it has its origins in the cuisine of the Italian city Naples and the Neapolitan immigrants who brought spumoni to the U.S. Spumoni is an Italian dessert that uses three different flavored (vanilla, cherry, and pistachio) layers of ice cream that resemble the Italian flag. Americans would put their own spin on it by replacing the cherry with strawberry and the pistachio with chocolate. Moving back to the NWC truffles, the outer shell is comprised of a smooth and creamy white chocolate infused with strawberry, while the equally smooth core is a melty milk chocolate and white chocolate truffle. Although Neapolitan is not a favorite ice cream of mine (fruity ice cream is not my thing), Lindt absolutely nails it with all three flavors clearly coming through. Like all the other truffles I've tried from Lindt, the texture is phenomenal. I was a bit skeptical going into this one and only picked these up out of curiosity when I spotted them on clearance. If they could win me over, then you have to give these a try if you're a fan of the ice cream flavor. Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews My Favorite Lindt Truffles: 1. Birthday Cake 2.

I recently decided to give this place another shot to try their highly-raved macarons and OMG... didn't expect a macaron to change my life. The chocolate ganache is heavenly. My favorite might be the "Sylvia", which is milk chocolate ganache + hints of caramel. The worker behind the counter was kind and helpful. I purchased two macaron sets, informing her that one was a present. She graciously offered me an extra gift bag.

How have I never written a review of this remarkable chocolate shop?!…read more La Maison du Chocolat is my all-time favorite chocolate. I am a devotee of dark chocolate, and have tried every dark offering it has. Each is superb, even flavor combinations I haven't historically adored (like orange and chocolate - I know it's popular, but it's just not my favorite). That said, my personal favorite is the Anastasia, a hazelnut and dark praline enrobed in dark chocolate. It is exquisite. Service is always excellent. I've ordered in person and over the phone, and have always been so pleased with the staff. The website is helpful when ordering a variety, but if you'd like an entire box of Anastasia, for example, you have to call the Rockefeller Center store and place the order by phone. They ship once a week, and I always have my box fairly quickly. Boxes make terrific gifts ... including for yourself. If you're walking in, I recommend sitting down to enjoy a few pieces of chocolate, then taking the rest in a box with you. There is a cozy but comfortable seating area in the back just for this. This area is also an ideal place to enjoy some of their drinking chocolate. Highly, highly recommend.
