Our second attempt was successful unlike our first when we trekked across Central Park from the west side but the only machine was broken. So it is a small shop that sells frozen yogurt and other snacks. We got the frozen yogurt with mango and the Dubai chocolate. Both were very good. The level of tartness was great. The service was fast as we were the only ones there. Overall it was definitely a good option for froyo! read more

Tried their pistachio kanafeh frozen yogurt and it was so good! The frozen yogurt texture was on the icier side but the flavor was so good! It was tart and not too sweet and you can really tell that it was different than the bigger chains like 16 handles and pinkberry. The tartness of the frozen yogurt balanced the richness of the pistachio butter very well and I like how they made it like a parfait so there was pistachio butter through out the cup. On the pricier side, $15 for this flavor but totally worth it! read more

Loved the yogurt here. It was tart but still had that really nice soft texture. There definitely is some added sweetness though so it's not entirely tart. I got the pistachio drizzle as well which was alright, probably would try something else next time. I went on a Sunday evening on a colder day and waited maybe 10 minutes. They didn't have all their toppings available. Overall, good but definitely on the pricier side. read more

This was good, not fantastic. The store itself doesn't feel like the focus is on the yogurt even tho that's the rep it has. They only have one flavor but the toppings and the way the owner likes to keep it limited is not my favorite. I wanted to customize the toppings and you either get to choose a sauce or get the pistachio whole shebang which comes with nuts, a butter sauce and the pistachio crunch on top of it - for someone who wants to choose their toppings this place isn't for me. It's also very expensive and unnecessary especially because of the lack of topping options and not being able to really choose what you want on it. I've heard the west village location has other flavors and offer different topping options so it might have been the better spot to try for the first time. I'd give it another chance but also feel there should be more flexibility at this location. The yogurt itself was creamy and tart which I like! Just needed more to it without feeling like I didn't have a choice. read more

This is probably my favorite frozen yogurt I've tried in the city. I love the mango topping in the summer. It's not too sweet and tastes like real mangos, not mango flavoring. The yogurt is thick and tart and they give you a large serving, sometimes too much to finish. The pricing is reasonable, there is almost never a line. The staff is really nice. The only real downside is they regularly run out of some of the specialty flavors. The shop is small and I've never looked at anything other than the frozen yogurt. read more

Madison Fare is a viral NYC frozen yogurt spot, famous for its tangy, high-quality Greek yogurt served with unique, gourmet toppings like pistachio knafeh and Dubai chocolate, offering a richer, more probiotic experience than standard froyo, though it's pricier and often busy, with locations on the Upper East Side and Greenwich Village. It's $16 which is high priced but it definitely is a nice balance of tart and sweet. Is it worth all of the hype? I don't know but we had to try it! read more

Back for the FroYo that's getting lots of social media attention. The store's products have changed significantly since I was last there in January. As opposed to specialty foods it's mostly candy that is sold now. They did seem to have a lot of great options! I didn't notice how much they charge. They only had plain and the pistachio knafeh FroYo available yesterday. Luckily we all wanted the pistachio. Loved the pistachio and knafeh. The FroYo tastes like yogurt so there's a tartness to it. My friends thought it was delicious but not for me (personal preference no reflection on store!). Glad I tried it but for $14.99 not something I'll have again. I'll wait to go back for the hot chocolate. read more

Some of the best froyo in the city! They're known for the Dubai chocolate froyo, but i honestly just like the plain (either with fruit or without). The yogurt alone is so rich, creamy, and tart. I love frozen yogurt, and this place is so good that I even get it on a below freezing day. My fingers might be frozen, but my stomach is happy! Worth it. Cute shop too, I like their collection of tinned fish. Employees are always super friendly and helpful. read more

The internet brought me to this shop on a Tuesday off, to avoid any lines. There wasn't a line but unfortunately the Kanafe Frozen Yogurt option wasn't available until a new delivery of ingredients on Friday (not sure if this is the general offering during the weekday, since I'm assuming they sell out of everything by Sunday afternoon). Would recommend calling or sending them a DM. The prices are now are $14.99 for that, $9.99 for a plain frozen yogurt, other add-on pricing for fruit toppings, Ferrero Rocher sundae. I bought about 10 small pieces of gummy candies, I think a lot of them are Swedish. Bubby's, a strawberry and cream, one which was nice, a peach slice, an extra sour raspberry piece, a fried egg! It's nice that you can mix & match but for the tiny amount, I paid $4 by weight. Some of the candies were a little bit hard & stuck together in the containers. Maybe the containers aren't very airtight. The shop is a nice idea, a lot of kids were getting out of school from up the Avenue at the time. But it feels half finished - the shelves are slightly stocked with pantry items and international ingredients, feels like a bit of filler items. Or maybe they sold things from the weekend? The shelves are handbuilt & painted. The frozen yogurt machines are 2 little machines up at the front of the store. It feels like a space that the owners experiment with different things for sale. The cost of rent in that area must be really hard, so understand the high price points. Glad that they have good reviews about the quality of their frozen yogurt, but not sure if I would travel back for it. read more

As you can tell by the photo, we couldn't wait to dig into our frozen yogurt. I love pistachio, kataifi, and froyo, so naturally this dessert checked every box for me. We were visiting New York during a dreary week and had to stop by this viral shop for a pick me up. The tartness of the yogurt blended well with the sweetness of the pistachio cream, and the kataifi made it a textural heaven. Chef Amin was so kind, and gladly explained the options on the menu for us. The shop is cozy and has other things for sale on the shelves, asides from froyo. read more

Salted Caramel Crunch I believe is what it was called? Not sure why this is so expensive honestly because the station the guy was working from was not clean and messy. The store seemed like a lifeless candy store with nothing too exciting about the ice cream experience. I only got this flavor because the Dubai Chocolate flavor was $15 and I was going to dinner right after this. I don't recommend this place unfortunately. read more

I've definitely had cheaper fro yo, but it is probably some of the best frozen yogurt I've had! It's very tart and creamy, which pairs nicely with the crunch knefah and pistachio. The downside is that they can be a little frugal with the pistachio so it didn't quite seem worth the price... but certainly worth experiencing at least once! Next time I might try some of their fruity options. The line comes and goes in waves, and we fortunately caught a time without a line! read more

A viral froyo spot tucked into a candy shop -- it's a bit overpriced, but definitely worth sharing with friends since the portions are large. It's a short hop over from Central Park, so recommend walking over to enjoy it there. The Pistachio Knafeh and Ferraro were both fantastic -- the Greek yoghurt was a bit more tart (but so rich and creamy) and there were crunchy bits for texture. read more

The Frozen Yogurts were definitely worth the hype and the wait! They still have a long way to go to build a good system though. They were taking their time to serve people. I had gotten my chocolate and strawberry one but then the server left to go help out at the counter. And then by the time I got the pistachio one, the others were melting a lot. They do a great job of putting the flavors and toppings in! I love that they had the fillings in between the froyo. It is definitely very expensive but a good treat to share with someone since the size is big. read more

They're really capitalizing on the hype because the famous pistachio knafeh frozen yogurt is now ~$15 (!!!) instead of the previous $12. Is it worth it? Probably once to try it. The pistachio syrup and knafeh spread was delicious. I haven't had pistachio with tart, yogurt flavors before (only with vanilla and more creamy flavors), but it was surprisingly delicious. The tartness of the frozen yogurt really cut through the sweetness of the pistachio, and every bite had a little bit of both. The froyo itself has the perfect amount of tart and tang, so much that I think a fruit flavored froyo would taste better than the pistachio. But regardless, despite the outrageous increase in price, I really enjoyed eating this parfait. read more

Madison Fare may be my new favorite place. They are a store that sells gifts, provisions and sweets. They have this greek frozen yogurt which is delicious. Different days they have different toppings. I got a strawberry puree one yesterday and got just a regular one today. Such a great breakfast, lunch, snack or even dessert. The workers here are extremely nice and helpful. It is a small store but they have plenty of different items in it. In the middle they have an area with jars filled with different candies that some or all are from Sweden. If you are ever in the area this is a must go to even just to look around. read more

I just had to come here to try the famous Pistachio knafeh frozen yogurt, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. It was a bit more expensive than I expected though-$15. However, I felt that the quality of the frozen yogurt was very good and the pistachio topping was just delicious; I probably could have eaten a whole cup of just that by itself! I typically don't love tarte frozen yogurt, but this yogurt was just the perfect texture and so fresh tasting-that I really did enjoy it! I also bought a few gummy and sour candies while I was here, and those were also yummy! Definitely is on the expensive side, but its a nice treat for a delicacy like the products that are served here! read more

The froyo is really good (especially if you like a tart frozen yogurt), with excellent texture. I'd give it a 4.5/5 on its own. But $16 for a small serving of froyo with a small amount of pistachio on top is a tad egregious.

was it ridiculously expensive? yes. was it also the best froyo i've had in nyc? yes! this place is definitely worth the hype... the froyo has a thick, smooth, creamy texture while being so light in flavor at the same time. the pistachio one has a perfect nutty flavor with great texture from the knafeh and pistachios, while the raspberry one was more tart. Honestly though, I would have enjoyed this plain too since the yogurt itself was perfect. Only con is since the store is so small, only 6 customers are allowed in the store at once, so wait might be long depending on what time you go. the owners are the sweetest though! read more

Finally got to try out the pistachio froyo that's been trending on TikTok at Madison Fare. I loved watching the whole process of it coming together because it looked intriguing. I really liked how there was pistachio in every bite because of the layering. The venue inside is a bit cramped, but make sure to order at the cash register first. When I went yesterday, there surprisingly wasn't a big line to get inside. If you want me to be completely honest, I think I've had better froyo from elsewhere. It wasn't anything crazily good.

On top of that, the attendant at the front surprised us with even more samples, which was such a thoughtful touch. I'll definitely be back!

Wow what an experience! I came here during the week during the holiday season. The line was long…read morebut it got longer after I joined it. The wait time is about 15 minutes before you're at the front of the line. I ordered the single hot chocolate with a confetti marshmallow and Reeses Cup on top. The prices are reasonable overall and I definitely plan on getting the largest size that comes in a mason jar the next time around. It's well worth the wait and the price.

My sister in law wanted to try this place she saw on IG. There was a line and we waited about…read more25min but definitely glad I tried it! The mashmallow on the hot cocoa was visually beautiful and definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. The price is kinda high but you are in the city, and a Christmas market, so oh well. It was definitely fun to try :)

I love Lindt chocolate so I was very happy with this concept. There was a bunch of flavors laid out…read morethroughout the store and I was able to mix and match what Lindt chocolates I wanted as well as how much I wanted! My fiancé and I had a lot of fun looking at all of the choices they had. There were some regular flavors like Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate but there were also some fun flavors like Pumpkin Spice, Milk Chocolate Sea Salt. On top of all of this, there is an option of prepackaged Lindt chocolates as well as different chocolate barks by the entrance. Definitely a fun thing to do with your friends as well!

This is the new flagship location of Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG, which is better known…read moreas Lindt. They're also across the street from a flagship Ghirardelli store, which they also own, if you aren't aware. In general, I find Lindt too sweet, but that is also coming from someone who is a dark chocolate lover. For this location specifically, the staff here are friendly and give samples, which is a plus. Anyway, if you're wondering why you'd want to stop here instead of just going to the literal CVS around the corner which sells their products, you can customize stuff better here, and there are many more options. Along with the standard truffles they are famous for, there are flavors available only at this location, as well as seasonal ones. Some current ones include shortbread, made with milk chocolate, as well as a snickerdoodle, which I didn't realize was made with white chocolate, or else I wouldn't have purchased that one (it was still tasty,) and others. The truffles are around 62¢ post-tax for a single one, so it's a little cheap and tasty treat. Outside of truffles, there are bars, some fancier chocolates, and bark, among many other things. Of course, there's a Dubai option like every other chocolatier in case you want to purchase a cheapo version here. Obviously, the chocolates in general are not as high-quality as Läderach, Li-Lac, and other spots, but they are at very different price points, so that's to be expected. The latter spots are more artisanal, while this is a step up from Hershey's "chalk-olate" and other cheaper brands. If you're looking to buy a gift without paying an exorbitant price but still want a step up from Hershey's or similar places, I would recommend going here.

This was the first brewery/beer bar that popped up when I looked up ones near my hotel planning…read morethis trip. The great reviews and overall rating along with the fact they had an emphasis on sour beers (my wife's favorite style of beer) made it a no brainer. Also as you have likely seen they are a women-owned operation so another positive. We did mistakingly walk by it at first but quickly found it. It's a beautifully designed space and more unique than your typical brewery space. Also speaking of they have lots of drinks other than beers, including wines, ciders, cocktails, coffee and a couple NA beers. Due to the impending storm they were closing early but my wife and I each got a beer. I got their New England IPA called Sun Up which was citrusy and juicy with a touch of bitterness/hoppy notes. Then my wife got their fruited sour Peach Berry Punch that definitely had a punch of pink guava and peach but the berry was more subtle. Two great beers with plenty of other styles available too. Service was friendly with a smile and took no time to get our beers. Such a positive experience we plan on returning to give their cocktails a try! An absolute must visit for beer lovers who find themselves near Bryant Park! (Also non-beer lovers since they offer so much more too.)

Cool spot. Really chill especially in the early afternoon. It started getting busy around 330/400PM…read more(Saturday). The bartender was really chill but once it started getting busy it seemed like the support staff was short, if not rude. All good, overall but just sorta hit weird. Although, that bartender is so sweet and I'd wanna come back.

La Maison du Chocolat Paris

Convenient location situated in the newly renovated Moynihan Train Hall. First thing I ever tried…read morehere was the "Amanda's Case", which is 40 pieces of dark and milk chocolate almonds. It didn't wow me. Tasted pretty much like your standard chocolate almonds. 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.
