My friend and I visited the Bloody Mary Festival, and Jomart Chocolates was there. I really liked their toasted marshmallow with toasted coconut chocolate; it was very moist and spongy. The other chocolate was pretty fluffy too. The whole experience felt like you were eating gourmet Milky Way bars. At least the two samples I tried tasted that way. Because it was a pop-up, the service was very one-on-one; they handed the chocolates directly to me and greeted me personally. The ambience obviously depended on the actual event, which was pretty good. They picked a solid event to host their chocolates. read more

JoMart is Brooklyn's oldest Chocolate Factory and has my favorite chocolates! I try to stop by the once or twice a year I'm in the area. The staff are always friendly and helpful and patient (there are so many types that it's hard to decide!). I prefer dark for myself and usually get truffles non-pareils, nut clusters, candied ginger. (They were out of ginger this time unfortunately!) They have loose items by weight and also packaged items and candy bars. I have gotten milk chocolate for others as gifts in the past and they loved them! I love their holiday decor and their beautiful holiday-themed offerings. Last year I got a really nice tool-shaped set for Father's Day. read more

JoMart is so hard to resist and hey, why should I? After an appointment in the neighborhood I popped in for some dark chocolate. The owner at the front helping me was an absolute delight and I so enjoyed our conversation. The dark chocolate is everything it should be. Some chocolatiers advertise their dark chocolate as dark chocolate, but it's really not. This is the real deal and delicious to boot. Fun facts - they are Brooklyn's oldest chocolate factory, and have been in business for 80 years. Wow! I can see why. Another fun fact - the business was started by Martin Rogak and his cousin Joe hence the name, JoMart. JoMart is a Brooklyn institution with a great reputation and history and has wonderfully delicious handmade chocolates. Next visit I'm going to opt for my favorite dark chocolate marzipan's. Happy eating! read more

I really didn't want to write a review but felt that I had to. So jomart I have one question.... Is there something wrong with the scale? I asked for a pound of chocolate disks which was $19 a pound and 5 almond butter crunch, you heard me 5 pieces $7.14. If I was not in a rush to go to lunch at Michael's I would have gotten a refund. Look at my pictures, both items were short the weight. To be honest I try to support the mom and pop stores but can make the butter crunch myself and get the chocolates on Amazon. I can see if your short weight a bit but really???? read more

Got an assortment of chocolates as a gift. Every piece was a surprise! Particularly enjoyed the nuts dipped in milk chocolate. The milk chocolate was the start of the show for me. So velvety and creamy. Just a perfect touch of delicate sweetness. Could've ate a whole bucketful of that milk chocolate. I'm a sucker for milk chocolate, but have to admit that even dark chocolate was delicious--rich and creamy, with a touch of bitterness and acidity. Freshly made chocolate makes a great treat. Indulge in some creations and don't count the calories for once in your life. read more

JoMart Chocolates - Assortment of chocolates - Candy Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been coming here for years for my chocolate needs. I like to make chocolate lollipops for special occasions, so I'll usually just drop by JoMart. It's $6 a pound for Merckens chocolate, so it's slightly more expensive than the pre-packaged ones at craft stores, but the quality is MUCH better here. Depending on your mold size, a pound should make 12-15 lollipops. It's the perfect amount if you're only planning on making a small batch. They also sell lots of other things as well, like the molds and other candy-making supplies. They make their own chocolate candies too, so if you're in the market for something specific, they'll probably have it. And if not, you can probably have it custom-made. Tip - they have a rewards program here so once you sign up for it, just remember to give your phone # each time you make a purchase! read more

JoMart Chocolates - Made from one pound of milk chocolate - Candy Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

JoMart Chocolates are delicious, consistent, and beautiful. I was sent the mixed chocolates for my birthday, and they arrived perfectly intact. The flavors are perfect, and the chocolate is such high quality. The bonbons are as yummy as they are pretty. They have unique flavor combinations that are so good. I haven't been in the store for some time, but the staff was always friendly and knowledgeable. The bonbons arrived with an ice pack that kept the chocolates cool but not frozen. This is the kind of care your chocolates get when you buy from JoyMart. I can't speak to the ambiance of the store, but this is a high-end business with a deserved reputation for excellence. read more

I stopped by here a few days ago to buy stuffs for Valentine's Day. They had many cute gift ideas and I end up buying more than I needed. Haha Nice atmosphere with a lot of chocolates, friendly and helpful store people. The history they have been there more than fifty years. What else do you need? read more

I wanted to send chocolate covered strawberries to my husband to celebrate a milestone in his treatment. I was not able to pick them up and I wanted to make it a surprise. JoMart and the staff were absolutely amazing. From Emily, who took the order to Michael the owner who was able to make it that they were delivered to my husband, they were amazing from beginning to end. I highly recommend them and this company. Thank you so much!!! read more

If you sort and read the reviews with three stars or less, there is a common theme among them: rude staff. Across my five or six visits, I have been served by four or five different women of all different ethnic backgrounds and ages. Every single one of those women was rude and abrasive for no reason. This leads me to a hypothesis: the ownership and/or management must treat/pay their staff horribly for these individuals to be so consistently nasty to customers. There's no other way for me to explain what's going on here. It's very sad. You expect to be greeted and treated well when you enter a beloved and timeless chocolate shop--not the case with Jomart. They can't wait to ring you up for their overpriced chocolates and get you the fuck out of their store. That attitude is quite clear to me and other reviewers. Again, sort and read the other posts and you will see what I mean. I'm leaving them 3 stars because their chocolate is delicious and the green tea milk chocolate bar is divine. I will still patronize this business and sadly just never expect good service. Oh well. read more

A friend of ours had brought us some chocolates from this place. I'll start my review with taste, quality, and lastly costumer service. Taste: the taste of the assorted chocolates we ordered were good. I like the fact the ingredient weren't overpowering over each other, at times that can happen. However depending on the taste theme example: orange flavor-you would want to taste the flavor of the orange. So depending on the chocolate you choose flavor can be overwhelming or underwhelming. 3/5 Quality: chocolates themselves are aesthetically good. Nothing fancy. You'll see the shaping of the chocolate based on the craftsmanship of the chocolatier. 2/5 Costumer service: we drive from Queens about 40 minutes to this store. We were in the mood for some sweets and once we arrived we walked in and said "hello", the counter lady did not reply. Manners out the window real quick. We were looking at the different assortments of chocolate because if we're going to spend $36 a pound we want to see the selection. The counter lady again said "are you ready?!" We haven't been in the store for 5 minutes. As we were selecting the chocolate her cellphone rang, she did not excuse herself as she left us there midway speaking about the selection. As we completed our purchase the lady did not say "thank you" nothing. We instead said thank you twice and she did not reply by any means. 0/5 It's unfortunate that this was our experience we had and what's more unfortunate is that providing terrible customer service can and will hurt your business. My advice to the owner is to reevaluate your employees as they can make or break your business. I could have easily gone somewhere else and felt good about the purchase but moving forward we will not be returning again. read more

JoMart Chocolates - 1 pound of assorted chocolate - Candy Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

For true chocolate connoisseurs, but everyone is one and as the site says, world peace is chocolate, think about it. Simple marvelous chocolate for those ruined by cheap and widespread milk chocolate. I wasn't a chocolate snob before & resisted even trying high end chocolate before here, but living a minute's walk away, I finally caved in & here we are, raving on Yelp like my 32 reviewers before me about the 5-star excellence their food and craft is. The store has the lived-in feeling of grandma's home and since it's been here since 1959, I sense it, not in a bad way as it needs remodeling, no, it doesn't, it's a lovely place that does chocolate right and shouldn't change except for nightly cleaning. The trinkets and cake making materials inspire one to want to get stuff & go home to make a cake even if that won't really happen. Their window displays are too haphazard or dated to convey the true skill & knowledge of the staff who use these instruments as they're the true pros. It's allegedly family-owned but you can confirm it from the love & care here. And thus, my 5-stars. read more

This place is great. There's a section where they sell bakery/cake decorating supplies, but I haven't tried that yet. I heard from a friend that this section has a great selection and the prices are worth buying from. Jomart definitely does not skimp on the quality of their chocolates. The chocolate part of the store has chocolate bars for only 5 dollars with flavors such as matcha (white chocolate and dark chocolate available), orange peel, and strawberry. I think it gets cheaper if you buy a bunch, but I don't fully recall. The matcha one is pretty heavy on the flavor, in a good way. My only gripe is that the wrappers are pretty flimsy, which means that you should just eat the bar in one sitting. The truffles are pretty reasonably priced too. I have tried only a few for now, lavender and caramel, and it looks like I'll have to go back to try more. read more

Delicious chocolate but the customer service is disgusting. The lady at the register is SO RUDE!!!! Will ignore you until YOU speak up for your own self! I come here very often and it's truly sad how rude someone can be. If you don't like your job, where you should be NICE to customers work else where!! read more

I order my holiday gifts from here every year. Great local chocolates with a great variety

Best chocolate ever! My dad always bought us a heart for Valentine's Day and still does! I'm still in Brooklyn and I constantly go there. When people leave Brooklyn and I ask them what I can bring them when I visit they always say JOMART!!!!!! Great owner. Great staff!!! read more

Woman gave me attitude about changing to a bigger box when I asked her if there's any more room inside. Chocolate was just okay. Their dark tastes kind of like Hershey's though. read more

JoMart Chocolates - a view of a bakery's kitchen - Candy Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Most of people working here cannot handle the crowds around holiday times and are insanely rude. I called to place a phone order because they forgot something when I was in the day before. I told the woman on the phone that I needed to place a phone order and have someone pick it up since I couldn't make it back there. She told me she was busy with customers and couldn't help. I reminded her that I was also a customer. They eventually took my information. However, they were also rude to the person who had to pick up my order. Chocolate is awesome though. Also - when I was in store, someone yelled at everyone in the store to social distance but no one made an effort to control the amount of people allowed in the store. read more

I received JoMart chocolates as a gift and loved them so much I travel far out of my way to get them. Their seasonal or specialty items make good gifts, and their truffles and various mixed chocolates are wonderful. I haven't been disappointed by any that I've tried. Worth a trip to Midwood. read more

Dear fellow bakers, cakers, and cupcake top makers of south Brooklyn, You know how whenever you start a baking project, there's always that one baking ingredient, tool, or obscure item that you need, but can't find ANYWHERE? You spend hours searching places like Target and Key Food in vain, then resort to browsing online for stores that have exactly what you need, but slowly realize that the shipping times would screw over your party or project deadline. You silently curse to yourself as you sigh at the injustice, and proceed to try brainstorming ways you can kludge or jury rig your creation without the supply you need. Sound familiar? Yeah. Stop it. Go to JoMart. The place is divided into three main rooms. The middle room where you enter is filled with handmade chocolates, truffles, and all kinds of yummy, chocolatey goodies. You can buy stuff in pre-packaged gift boxes, or choose your own combination of pieces per your tastes. The store smells HEAVENLY, and you will likely not be able to leave without buying *something*. And trust me, it will be worth it. They even have these amazing liquour truffles that you MUST try. If you need to bring something to a party or gathering and feel like a bottle of wine is too much or not quite right for the occassion, go with chocolate. Everyone likes chocolate. (And if they don't they clearly have problems.) The room to the left is full of cards and non-edible gifty things, if you happen to need something Hallmark-ish to go with your chocolates. The room to the right is a local chocolatier and cake artist's wet dream. It's not too big a space, but there are sooooo many baking supplies somehow packed into the area that it's rather overwhelming to behold at first. Shelves of rolled fondant and fondant supplies, icing and candy writers, dyes, sugar sheets, cookie cutters of all shapes and sizes, sprinkles, sparkles, edible pearls and glitter, countless chocolate/candy molds, and a ton of other obscure supplies that you won't find in any local supermarket. If you need it, it's probably here. And if it's not, I bet they'll be able to tell you exactly where to get it. The staff here is really nice, too. They'll take the time to explain their products, and help you make decisions about gifts, as well give advice about any projects you might be doing. Their own factory area is right in the back of the store, so you know everyone's got some experience with what they're talking about. The downside to the amazing quality and convenience however, is the price. Shopping here does take a bite out of your wallet, but considering all their chocolate is hand made and their supply inventory is phenomenal and ridiculously convenient, I'm willing to shell out what I need for what I get in return (provided I don't do it too often at least). Definitely not the place for "just a snack" when you're walking by and on a budget, but keep them bookmarked for a visit when you want to try something really special. Or when you need that elusive, last minute, weird silicone cupcake pan or fondant mat. You know, the important stuff. read more

I've gone here for many years, but not the past few. Having bought chocolate by the lb, as well as those boxed molded ones for holidays and what not, everyone has enjoyed the quality of chocolate they put out. I went the other day though, and was immediately turned off by the prices. $24.50 a lb for most everything. Including chocolate covered pretzels, which are large, mainly pretzel (of course) and since most are thickly coated in candy or coconut, you'll probably get less than you think. I think of all the things I could spend $25 on, and chocolate is 2 past the lowest thing on the list. I could get dinner for 2 and candy bars for that. I could get to DelMarVa on $25 bucks of gas and tolls to see family. Not happening. read more

OH MY GAWD!!!!! Before I begin, I'm a chocolate pretzel lover and quite the connoisseur. My cousin had JoMart's chocolate covered pretzels as a take home treat at her party and were soooo amazing, I called the company for more info. They were more than happy to accomodate my chocolate pretzel fix and would ship me whatever I liked. Truly the best chocolate pretzels I've ever had! read more

This place is a godsend in the middle of Sheepshead Bay when you can't run to Michael's for some supplies. They have rows and rows of chocolate molds, a rainbow of colors for melting chocolates, and supplies for making all sorts of treats. I ran in on a summer afternoon to pick up melting chocolates and spent a few minutes just admiring their collection. The women who work there are mean, but that's Brooklyn for ya. read more

Great place to buy baking supplies at such a great price. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The chocolates look, smell and taste divine. Also, they have a rewards card where you accumulate points with every purchase and the points are redeemable for prizes, such as their amazing chocolate. read more

My new friend Michael takes such good care of me. And he makes the most incredible chocolate and candy treats I've ever had. I am a marshmallow snob and Jomart's marshmallows are the best in the whole wide world! If you're in Brooklyn go see my friend Michael what Avenue are and save up a few calories so that you can splurge on what we call the good stuff! PS his other sweets are quite spectacular in their own right so try them all !! read more

I gave lots of Chocolate Santas this year, and several milk chocolate menorahs as gelt. I dared the recipients to eat it all in 8 days. I saved one Santa for me. First I ate the head. Yum, I'd forgotten our really good their chocolate is. Then I ate the feet, plenty to enjoy since everything is solid chocolate and I let them slowly dissolve in my mouth. The arms were delightful, thick but melted so nice and slow. Now....Last is the tummy. Oh boy, this was a lot of great chocolate and its a good thing its solid and took awhile to enjoy. Guess I'll have to give more chocolate gifts for Valentine's. read more

This is strictly a review for their chocolate candy. This evening I attended another wonderful event at the Powerhouse Arena - to celebrate the publication of a book - and since the book consists of many photos & interviews with Brooklyn food & drink makers, several of them were on hand to serve some of their products. One of those was JoMart Chocolates (I think it was "Michael", who another reviewer mentioned). Anyway; their chocolates are *great*! He (Michael-?) told me they've been in business - at the same location - since 1959. It turns out that I had cousins who lived right around the corner from the store and I visited them many times during the 60's & 70's, so I might well have gone to the store long ago. Regardless, those were the best chocolates I've tasted in quite awhile. read more

**This review is strictly for their chocolate. I do not know how the store is nor do I have any idea about their pricing.** A friend gave me a dark chocolate rose as a sweet treat. I couldn't resist. I undid the wrapper and bit right into it. The cocoa content must be about 70% or so. Very rich cocoa taste but not bitter. Some dark chocolates can still be very sweet but not this. Just a perfect hit of 'cocoa.' Very nice! read more

This local chocolate shop is really booming, especially around this time of year! I really love everything there, but I took a star away because the merchandise seems a bit scattered here, there, and everywhere. All and all, a great place to go for chocolate lovers alike! read more

simply the best!!! forget the French guy in the overpriced hood!! this is the real deal the dark chocolate is fantastic. You have to try the Brooklyn Chunky it's Jo Marts version of a Chunky bar. I am not sure how long they have been here but support them it is better than the fancy schmancy chocolates that have become so popular. Ciao- read more

By far the best chocolate I've had, and it's right in Brooklyn, what could be better. My personal favorites are the chocolate covered m&m pretzels and the chocolate covered marshmallows. Definitely worth stopping by if you have a sweet tooth and are in the area. read more

The chocolate is above average as you would expect from any chocolate specialty shop. No way worth $34.00 per pound.Don't you think that a little bit over priced? read more

Came in today to get 2 sugar free heart boxes one was for my mother 78 yo and a good friend of the family who just had her 99th. Needless to say it was more disorganized as than usual. And they couldn't fulfill my order at the time (2 customers behind me). I would have to come back because the girl couldn't fill the boxes she was busy. So they turned away my business. I come here for the connivence once a year. The chocolate is overpriced and not that good. Happy Valentine's Day... Scroll through the reviews and you can see I'm not alone... if you can avoid the place do so. They have been treating people like shite for years. read more

They make the closest to the real jelly graham , excellent . Wish the jelly was a thinner layer , then it will be exactly like the real one

THE BEST CHOCOLATE IN NEW YORK If you want small and average chocolates in a pretty gold box with a red ribbon, you know where to go. If on the other hand, you want the finest home made chocolate from an era gone by, Jo Mart is the place. Their chocolates are to savor and are one of life's few remaining affordable luxuries. I'm a particular fan of Jo Mart's chocolate covered apricots and strawberries. Friends who I've given Jo Mart holiday baskets to as presents had amazing things to say about their buttercrunch and marshmallow as well. Now that I'm no longer in the neighborhood, I do my shopping on-line but I also remember they had an old fashioned friendly approach to everyone who came into their store. Give them a shot. You'll never go back to the gold box again. read more

I have to honestly admit that they had a lot of supplies there, not all what I wanted but they have a good selection. on the other hand there's this older lady and I don't know who she is related to but she has to be related to someone to have such a bad attitude and still have a job there. she was rude to every customer that came in. She asked 1 customer that was on line and I quote "what are you still here for". because of her attitude I will never ever shop there again! read more

They make THE BEST chocolate and chocolate bars. I got party favors once (small boxes with 8 pieces of chocolate each) and my relatives from out of state always ask me to bring chocolate when I come to visit. Around the holidays I'd recommend calling in advance to place your order because they get very busy. Even then it's well worth the wait! read more

shopping here for 25 years ... best chocolate on the planet made on the premises.. shout out to Michael and his family for providing Brooklyn with the best .. I also a big fan of shipping Jo Mart so everyone can have the Jo Mart experience .. and during every holiday this store is as festive as them come .. read more
