Theres so many unique flavors to choose from. It makes me just want everything. The service isnt always fast because it depends on the guests in front of you. The shop is very small and quaint. It's definitely not for a large party.
I got these chocolates as a gift and absolutely loved them! The bon bons were so pretty and the unique twists with the Asian influences truly added so much depth to each chocolate. Amazing for a treat for yourself or as a gift to a loved one!
Beautiful chocolates, in all sorts of unique flavors like: pandan, ube, toasted brown rice, oolong tea, black sesame, Philippine coffee, caramelized banana. A great place to buy gifts for the holidays. They sell cookies, but tend to sell out earlier in the day. They also sell lattes, matcha, ube cold brew, hot chocolate, espresso, and water.
The catchiness of beautiful chocolate art work on IG and me planning to come to NYC brought me to plan a stop here. The staff understood my requests of things that came in packaging besides the boxes they typically offer. I was thinking of getting 14 instead of 12 chocolates is why I asked but I am not sure if they understood that. Sorry if I made you unintentionally feel like I was gonna try to run off with some chocolates. If I thought of it, I would've offered my bag, driver's license, and credit card as collateral to hold on to. You can see by my profile pics that I probably couldn't hide if I wanted to. But I would not expect you to know me either. At the last minute, I decided to get a new friend a box of chocolates and then share a bigger box with a relative except I don't know when I will actually see him lolol. I also got an Ube cookie, yuzu cookie, they were out of macaroons, and I got a sweet latte w oat milk. All delicious! I also got a chance to learn that the chocolates take 3 days to make. It helps me appreciate the hard work and craftsmanship in this shop and how exquisite chocolate lovers must be happy to have this place recently reopen in NYC very fittingly in Chinatown, Manhattan's I believe (as opposed to Flushing.) The chocolates I had were all very flavorful. I could see how maybe it would be hard to make these chocolates flavorful enough like a former reviewer mentioned but since we're paying a premium-ish price for refined chocolates, that flavor factor is very important. With the ones I got, Daniel Corpuz did them well. I got a free "mistake" chocolate for buying so much. I encourage Daniel Corpuz Chocolatier to consider TooGoodToGo for your "mistakes" too . Then some of the locals might encourage you to keep making those "'mistakes ". The flavor on this one was not as strong as it should have been and hence the mistake for this one. I got sea salt caramel, yuzu cinnamon, pandas, kalamansi, barley tea, and Philippine Coffee I think.
My favorite chocolates in New York City are out in Chinatown in Manhattan. The Filipino and Asian inspired favors are unique and delicious. The service was top notch as well as they recommended me the most incredible flavors. Also, try the hot chocolate! It's so rich and creamy. You can enjoy your treat inside but there aren't a lot do tables, but you can always cross the street into the park to enjoy it there!
New location rules! Canal St Market was good, but they now have their own space with an expanded menu (including coffee drinks) and cafe seating. I visited in April and got an ube cookie (excellent as always), plus the following bonbons: + passionfruit + roasted black sesame + macadamia crunch + ube Passionfruit and ube, longtime favorites of mine, were both still amazing. Macadamia crunch was new to me - also really liked that one. Only one I didn't care for was the black sesame. Will be back for the ube mocha drink, yuzu snickerdoodle cookie, and kalamansi meringue tart!
I wanted to try this place since it was opened. It is a small Filipino inspired chocolate store. I purchased 2 6 piece box of chocolates. The chocolates were beautiful and they have a range of flavors from Oolong tea to Ube. I had a hard time deciding which ones to buy. I tried them when I got home and they were yummy. My favorite was Passion Fruit. I gave the other box to my sister as a gift and she also enjoyed them. I will definetly come back to purchase them as gifts.
Daniel Corpuz is a tiny shop in Chinatown that creates some amazing Chocolate. I'm on a quest to find the best Chocolate in NYC and I'm putting DC near the top. I purchased twelve mini creation's for $52. I have tasted three, and all three were fabulous. I am particularly impressed with the Black Sesame.
Excellent and delicious artisan chocolate with Filipino and Asian flavors and beyond! While this spot offers over 30 flavors of chocolate bonbons, I tried and gifted their Chef's Favorites and Team Favorites Boxes of bonbons. Both have natural ingredients you can taste like kalamansi, ube, yuzu Saigon cinnamon, black sesame, guava, roasted corn, and vanilla hazelnut. Each bonbon was really pretty with balanced and explosive flavors. I ordered a bunch of boxes for pick up and was lucky enough to meet the owner- Daniel Corpuz who was super friendly, down-to-earth, and gracious. He gave me complimentary caramel truffles and extra gift bags for each box I bought. A real treat start to finish! NOTES/TIPS: **You can order via their website (https://www.danielcorpuz.com/s/shop) and choose pick-up or mail delivery. **They're located at on Canal St. in Canal Street Market- an indoor plaza (Dec. 2024). They may move in the new year.
Delicious chocolates, so glad I stopped in to pick up a box to share with my friends! I am a huge fan of the Asian forward flavors and my personal favorites were the Strawberry Matcha Tea, Pandan, Passion Fruit, Hojicha Tea, and the Ube. Honestly, I could eat the Pandan and the Ube all day long! The store was very cute, a few small tables inside, glass windows to let in the natural light. Daniel was there when I went in and he was very friendly and chatted with us as we decided what we wanted to order. I know that artisanal chocolates can be expensive, but I really think that treating yourself sometimes is important, and that these chocolates were definitely worth it!
Stopped in to get some beautiful chocolate. They are very friendly and happy to tell you all about the chocolate process & the different chocolates. It's a small space, very clean, with a few tables to sit and enjoy. Their chocolate flavors are different & delicious. It's a beautiful gift to someone or a treat for yourself. The chocolate itself is smooth and the filling combos pair so nicely. My top favorites were the Passionfruit, Ube & Hojicha tea.
Staff was very kind, sociable and helpful. Always great to see Daniel continue to build! Bonbons are DELICIOUS as usual- especially my favorite, Cinnamon Yuzu. Friendly, social refreshing vibe. Definitely returning!
Cute little shop in Chinatown! It's clean and the workers were super nice. I love Filipino flavors for desserts especially Ube and kalamansi. The bon bons were decadent and rich but not too sweet. The Ube cookie I wish I had fresh but taking it home and just microwaving it was not the same experience. It is a little bit expensive but the quality is amazing so it's a nice treat if you like Filipino flavors.
I am so glad that I happened to see this place on the map! I popped in and was immediately greeted by the most beautiful and bubbly staff member. I only wish I had asked their name because they were just so lovely. Very knowledgeable about the products and you could tell they were passionate about them too. This shop is Filipino inspired (chef is Filipino), making beautiful and delicious chocolate bonbons and cookies. (You can also get truffles and/or get the treats in a bag to save some money)! I got a box of 6 bonbons and got one of each cookie. Favorites were the cornick bonbon and the ube chocolate chip cookie. The presentation is . Can't wait to return! read more
My friend spotted this shop as we were walking. It is quaint and unassuming inside. They had several different bonbon options, and I picked the NY cheesecake that's shaped like a pigeon. It was such a nice sweet treat and I should've gotten more and paired it with tea or coffee. They also have some gluten free or nut free options, if you have allergies. There are 2 tables as well, if you choose to dine in. read more

Kalamansi confection? Hojicha Tea bonbon? How about one of Philippine coffee? These and more are several of the chocolate offerings Daniel Corpuz has in his newly opened chocolatier. Inaugurated yesterday and located on Mulberry Street, opposite a large garden, this pretty chocolatier and cafe is sure to please. Age and I went there today to sample and meet the Chef who we have known from the chocolate circles. A selection of coffee drinks and three types of cookies are available. A delicious chocolate ice cream was made for this warm day. Age and I both had the ice cream which was delicious and we enjoyed talking to Chef Daniel. Naturally we bought chocolates and cookies. read more

Fabulous chocolate bon bons in amazing mouthwatering flavors. I can hardly bring myself to each such lovely works of art. It's a party in my mouth whenever I pop one in. Daniel Corpuz makes bonbons in every Asian inspired flavor under the sun and I still don't have one single favorite. The only thing that could've made it better was having corn back in stock. read more
The place is very nice clean cozy specially l walk in weekday and very humid afternoon the shop is very comfy, the bonbons is very colorful and didn't expect that it was so good from the color, texture, presentation and the taste it's very balanced not too sweet but the flavors was so rich. For the price per piece I was also surprised very affordable compared to other chocolatier shops . For the Ube ice cream thumbs up I always make a halaya ube famous for pilipinos so I know that the perfect taste of a perfect Ube so I highly recommend I just hope that they will stay in that place forever or moved somewhere in a Main Street or other side of Chinatown ( little Italy Or broadway) l salute to the owner and hope make more ube bonbons and sweets read more

If there is one thing you should leave with from the Canal Street Market food court, it is an Ube cookie and a bonbon set from this place. I was lucky to meet the chocolatier Daniel himself! He's so nice and professional. The Ube cookie is my all-time fave! It's such an amazing treat. The texture is amazing. I love cookies with a slight crisp exterior, and soft chewy interior. There are hardly any cookies that do this well and consistently every time. Warmed for you on the spot, you get these pockets of melty goodness in between bites. And of course, I love that everything is not too sweet! The gem-like bonbons are sooo pretty. Too pretty to eat! I gifted them to my sister and my family loves them so much that my brother got a box for his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. Makes for a perfect fool-proof gift. Everything down to the packaging and presentation is done with such care and intention. It truly felt like a luxurious experience. As a designer myself, I also couldn't help but notice the beautiful illustrations adorning the booth. Daniel even showed me pieces he was working on such as a sakura bonbon and an adorable pigeon one! There is nothing more "New York" than a pigeon bonbon, perfect for both tourists and locals. He said his menu updates and it seems to change seasonally, so I'll definitely be back soon to check out other flavors and also grab another cookie when I'm in the area! read more

Pricey chocolate but very unique favors. I love dark chocolate. The passion fruit one is a bit sour. My favorite one is the chocolate crunch and signature one that is caramel base. With the pricing, definitely for special occasions. read more

What a hidden gem of chocolates! I got the sea salt chocolate caramel at it was very tasty. Small little shop that is soooo cute and hidden. They need all the support they can get as they are super hidden. The chocolates are a bit pricey but if you think about the time and overhead it costs to put forward the cute candies, it makes sense! When I ordered to go, they packed ice packs which was perfect since we were walking in the blazing heat! read more

Yummy chocolates, cute shop, great customer service! Went in for the first time today and ordered a hojicha latte and box of six chocolates: banana (2x), oolong, strawberry matcha, barley tea, hojicha tea. The packaging is so cute and you can even detach the sticker from the paper wrap. It's a great gift but I end up eating them all read more

I was looking some unique bonbons and I would have never guess to go to Chinatown! I found this while exploring the food court and wanted to bring back treaties for my partner. Food: 4/5 I really enjoyed the bonbon selection. I got a few interesting flavors: Salted soy sauce - reminded me burnt soy sauce or tamari with salt Ube - nice and subtle for those new to the flavor Matcha - I wanted more of the earthiness from the tea but got white chocolate instead I also got the Chew-olate chip cookie which they served cold. I realized after the first bite it was more a of shortbread with chocolate than the traditional texture. It was not my favorite but my partner liked it. All in all, if you are up to spending $35 on 6 bonbons and a cookie then go for it! I think these make a great chocolate gift for those with more Asian tastes. read more

Chef Daniel Corpuz from the Netflix series School of Chocolate. You'll notice really amazing and delicious sweets and seasonal ones once you arrive. He was kind and energetic with passion for what he does. There were so many options to choose from when it came to picking the right chocolate and it wasn't easy as they are all great. But we chose the seasonal Christmas ones and they taste amazing! Really feeling the holiday spirit with every bite. read more

First of all, customer connection was amazing. Chef Daniel engages with every customer who comes in. His chocolates are an experience in itself. You can taste the high quality of cocoa beans that he uses. The ube and the roasted corn are a must try. Will definitely go back when I'm in the vicinity. read more

Chocolates were superb with unique flavors that we''ve never tried before. So far we've tried the calamansi & chocolate crunch & loved both. Each unique in taste & texture. The presentation of the chocolates were beautifully made. It looked as good as it tasted. One star down (4.5 stars if I could) for the customer service, no greeting or acknowledging our presence while looking but once they knew we were serious buyers the lady at the front was met with a smile. Maybe it's the NY culture but we were turned off by it since we were excited to try. Proud to see/support a Filipino in business. read more

This hits a lot of my favorite things: chocolate, local business, high quality, Filipino made! Daniel is such a talented chef and chocolatier. I found out about him through the Netflix show School of Chocolate where (SPOILER ALERT) I believe he was robbed of the winning title! Well, joke's on them because Daniel's products are so exquisitely beautiful and delicious. I particularly like the decorative, colorful and shiny bon-bons that make fantastic gifts. Sure, they're a little pricey but it's absolutely worth it! He will also sometimes have pop-up stores around NYC. For example, he had a stall during a couple of Filipino Fest Markets during the summer and a stall in the Union Square Holiday Market in NYC. His staff are so friendly (quintessential filipino customer service) and happy, which tells me he manages and pays them well. read more
