    I really hope my videos uploaded. I was in NJ for a week , my tia brought us to this little shop only to realize that it has huge variety of chocolates choices. As you first walk in, the sweet aroma of chocolate starts to take over your mind. Your eyes start to wander around and start acting like a children wanting everything you see, the best thing of being an adult is that you don't need to ask your parents for chocolate go ahead and just buy whatever you want. Everything in display has pricing the goodies in the glass display they charge by pound, if your just a cheap chocolate lover this place ain't for you stick to your regular store, the price is a bit more here. Definitely worth it .

    AMAZING LOVE THAT THEY COVER ENTIRE STRAWBERRY WITH CHOCOLATE . Just with that alone you NEED to try this and experience the amazingness. Also they have very nice packaging for holidays.

    Best chocolate strawberry's !!
    Stephanie M.

    Love this place and it has been around for a while now but I never thought to come in. What was I thinking !!!!?? This small candy shop smells like chocolate heaven from minute you walk in! There's an overwhelming amount of delicious chocolate, so you pick your poison. I was craving chocolate covered strawberries so I went for that. I loved how rich and creamy the chocolate tasted. Once you have your first bite trust me you'll become so addicted! I got 5 for about $20 ...not too bad compared to other competitors. I will definitely start coming here and placing my chocolate covered strawberry orders! Will I recommend this place ? If you're a chocolate lover like myself then yess , 100 percent!! Tip : the parking sucks ! So if you're going you might want to have an idea of what you'd like to get to be in and out. #stephaniemoscoso

    best chocolate enrobed strawberries!
    Licia M.

    Finally a place that actually enrobes the whole strawberry with chocolate and good chocolate at that. My hubby gets them for me a few times a year but this year he went the day before Valentine's Day and bought me home a box. Best so far, they were big, sweet, juicy and delicious. We actually restrained ourselves and made them last between the two of us for three days (not easy!) but they were the best ever.

Life has been a little crazy lately. So, I gave in and placed a delivery order from the Upper Eastside store. I chose the Autumn mix because well, it is fall! The packaging was very cute and was a nice presentation. I also thought the thank you note added a lovely touch. Now, let's get down to the candy! One candy that I see in video reviews (not sure other their name, but they look like skulls) where not in my order. That was a bit of a disappointment. I figure once I go in person, I will try them. I had a really nice mix of both sour and sweet candies. I really enjoyed them. I received some of those soft candies and they were good but, not amazing. I am not a fan of black licorice. There were several types in my bag. That was the major negative about not being able to choose the candy myself. The quantity of candy was larger than I expected.. A yummy experience. I look forward to going to the store and choosing an experiencing with the entire selection.

Which we thought was disappointing due to our excitement for being our first time, and a manager(owner) present. One of the workers eventually came to take our order. She was pleasant. Overall we just found it odd how a manager or owner could be on site and not greet us! If we were "regulars" maybe she would have, but in customer service everyone should be treated equally. Not a good first impression and also my ice cream had a piece of hair at the end of me finishing majority of it.

There is a lot to see, and I did not have the time due to my own schedule. The man who helped us was so very nice and kind. I believe he said he is usually at their Brooklyn shop, but he was helping out in this west side of Manhattan shop. He explained about the MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION colorful, rainbow, STAR-SHAPED LOLLIPOPS near the cashier pay area. Please SEE MY PHOTOS. IT'S SUGAR has raised more than $1 MILLION DOLLARS for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, thanks to the people who bought the special lollipops; AND their goal is to raise $2 Million dollars for The Make-a-Wish Foundation. So, if you are near the store, please stop in. Buy a MAKE-A-WISH lollipop. Look around. Enjoy the candy sights you see, and make a purchase. They have Totsie Roll Pops, too!! And so much more, I have to visit again...soon! :) FOR VISITORS TO NYC--you will be near this store if you are in the Columbus Circle area, and the Lincoln Center area. And, it's a nice walk from the theatre district and the Fifth Avenue area, too. NYC is a great WALKING CITY, so, if you are heading out for the day, wear comfortable walking/running shoes, so that you can walk over and visit this shop.

It's a heat wave and my daughter is at her college orientation. While we wait for her we've been finding creative ways to stay cool. Before heading into the shops at Columbus we headed into its sugar because we're with my 10m old and he likes looking at the lights and bright colors. I picked up a mug called "wake and bake" and asked my husband does it work and how. I then put it down. When exiting an employee in a purple shirt was kind of blocking the door. I thought that was odd but people are weird. She even almost bumped into someone trying to walk in. She then accuses me of stealing the mug. I was confused and said I put it down and continued on my way, but I'm annoyed that a company that I frequented often with my older kids would accuse me of stealing. If you were watching so closely you should have done a better job and watched me place it back down. How outrageously inappropriate it was to try and smile and play with my 10 month old while you were moments away from accusing his mother. As much as my older kids like It's Sugar I'm going to be thinking twice before purchasing anything there ever again. Maybe it's for the best and I should be supporting local businesses. I'm honestly stuck on the fact that they thought a mother pushing her infant child was attempting to steal something so wildly inappropriate.

    Ah, Venchi. The name alone sounds like it should be whispered over a string quartet while sipping…read moresomething expensive on a balcony in Rome. But instead, there I was--standing in front of their glorious gelato counter, eyes wide, heart full, and indecisive as ever. Let's start with the moment: my first bite of their olive oil gelato. I don't say this lightly--it was transcendental. Like, "is this what Botticelli tasted when painting Venus?" kind of moment. That velvety olive oil richness hits you up front with confidence and elegance, like a well-dressed Italian man offering you espresso and secrets. Sure, the intensity mellows out as you keep eating, but it never disappears--it just evolves. A plot twist in every spoonful. Now, let's talk about the cone. This wasn't your average sad, soggy cone. Oh no. This one had chocolate bits woven into it like a love letter to cacao itself. It was the best "cone upgrade" I've ever had. Crunchy, chocolatey, luxurious--it deserves its own certificate of excellence, frankly. And the staff? Patient, kind, and blessed with the empathy required to deal with someone (me) who treats flavor selection like high-stakes diplomacy. I felt seen. And then--oh, the pièce de résistance--a little chocolate coin placed lovingly atop my scoop like a crown. It made me feel like gelato royalty. A duchess of dessert, if you will. They also have this gorgeous outdoor patio space, which I longed to sit in like a wistful character in an indie romance. Alas, I couldn't stay, but next time? I'll claim that spot with the same passion I bring to gelato tasting. In conclusion: Venchi is elegance dipped in chocolate, sprinkled with patience, and served with a golden coin. I'll be back--possibly wearing a cape.
