I've been coming to this quaint little chocolate shop in Forest Hills for a few years now. I can…read moretell you that this is the BEST chocolate that I've ever had. Good lord, it's delicious!! Very easy to get via several buses that stop on and around Metropolitan Avenue. Every time I've come here I've always been warmly greeted and offered a free chocolate. They give you a choice between dark, milk and white. They have so many different kinds of items. Not just chocolate. Candy, hot/cold drinks, ice cream, etc. Some of the items are pretty pricey. Like the boxes of chocolate, but believe me, it is worth EVERY cent. They do have a shelf of discounted chocolate items. Its the last shelf in the back on the right-hand side. It'll have previous holiday chocolates for half price. Last week I got a chocolate flag for only $4.25. It was still fresh and delicious. Their stuff is so good that even just a simple milk chocolate Valentines heart on a stick is satisfying delicious. They have chocolate covered Oreo's and Twinkies. Everything is handmade and you can tell! Don't forget to sign up for their rewards. You get 1 point for every dollar you spend. Once you reach 250 points, you get a $25 gift card. If you pay in cash your order will come out to less as well. I look forward to my next visit. The friendly service and dynamite chocolate will always keep me coming back!

CHOCOLATE GALORE!!…read more This chocolate confectionery business somewhat has an old school aesthetic appeal. Quaint. Upon entering the scent is delightfully sweet chocolate permeates all senses and awakens the spirit. Sometimes chocolate can heal broken hearts. However, I believe the most powerful source of healing is genuine love. There are lollypops, hot chocolate, chocolate ice cream, bars, truffles, caramels, cordials, solid milk and dark chocolate shaped hearts and red liquorice. Sports theme and shaped chocolate are also available. I have entered a chocolate party. Aigner must have good mold to make their creations and certainly made on site. Samples are distributed. Customer service is welcoming and attentive. Gift boxes are available and purchases are issued in a nice gift quality paper bag industry standard $0.05 with a post card description of their business and company history. I was browsing their selection and my eyes are surely bigger than my stomach and wallet. Business cards are available for keepsake. Aigner is easily accessible via MTA NYC Transit buses Q53 SBS/ Q52 SBS and then Q54 on Metropolitan Avenue in Queens, NYC. Foiled Red Hearts $14.95 This product is nostalgia brew. It reminded me of Valentine's Day, every year growing up being educated in NYC Board Of Education public elementary school and one year of public junior high school where every student receive two (2) red foiled heart shaped milk chocolate which was a privilege. As a kid, it was a sweet treat and the highlight of the year. Oh, goodie goodie gosh! I found this same exact product at Aigner which reminded me idyllic, wistful times of what was. Rum Cordial $12.95 Small balls center filled rum covered in chocolate was a happy ending for a celebratory day. Nota Bene: There is a 2.05% surcharge fee for credit/debit payment transactions. This time I did absorbed this annoying fee. The sales associate did not inform me of this fee upon payment, ergo four stars. I would return again and again.

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!

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.

While headed to Bloomingdale's I walked past this place, so right after leaving an afternoon of…read moreshopping at Bloomies, I made a beeline for Läderach to see what it's all about. Upon walking in, there was someone standing there offering free samples. I looked in the display case and saw several dark chocolate options, so I asked about them and the lady working there was very helpful, explaining to me the various styles and flavors. She let me try a couple as well and they tasted great! I then chose to walk around the store and look around while savoring the flavors I just had and deciding what I wanted to take with me. While looking around, I found some nice options of things to buy as gifts... then I came back and chose some amazing Dubai dark chocolate with pistachio cream in it - WOW! Overall - Great selection... Great flavors... Very nice service!!!

Location: 5th avenue, NYC!…read more Ambiance: very welcoming and approachable attendants. Food: I just passed by but got so tempted to get in the store and tried different flavors.

I was not familiar with Venchi and found out through staff that they have stores located in Manhattan too and been around for quite some time. How can I refuse getting some gelato. I got to sample some pistachio and got one scoop in a cup without any sprinkles, and it was creamy and dreamy. Brings back fond memories of trip to Sicily where we had gelato twice a day. I sure got my sugar fix for the rest of the afternoon to shop. Will definitely check out the other Venchi stores in the city.
