Amazing assortment of gummy and chocolate candy. Stumbled upon them and their holiday display. It's such a small, cute and unique shop. Efficient service. Price per pound might be on the more expensive side. read more

Tiny little store filled with many treats. They take credit card if you spend over $15 and also still charge a credit card fee. I love the red licorice wheels and the chocolate lollipops. Gets crowded during the holiday season. read more

We went in because I saw a raving review on IG, saying how sweet and wonderful the owner was., The owner was not friendly at all, acted as though she didn't want to be bothered when I said I had learned about her shop on Instagram. She had a young girl working there that was very nice. We bought some very good,but very expensive licorice. We probably would not go back though. read more

Stumbled upon this place while walking in NYC. It is s small place packed with chocolate, licorice and gifts. Really appreciated that the vegan licorice is clearly marked vegan for those of use that are. The staff was super helpful when i was looking for vegan easter items and chocolate. Love supporting a place like this. A real gem of a store. Highly recommend. read more

What a sweet find! I came in for the salty black licorice, and for such a tiny shop, their selection is fantastic. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Nice to know I don't have to travel far when I need a fix. read more

Myzel's Chocolate - A blend of salty licorice: skulls, heksehyl, and starfish - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - New York, New York

This place is disgusting, I went there the other day and saw mice. On top of that, the older woman who worked there didn't even seem fazed by it. You also can't walk into this place without seeing the older woman screaming at the employees which is wildly unprofessional. Maybe this is not a problem for most people but I personally hate being in places where the employees are being treated like animals. Definitely don't recommend this place. read more

Such a great cute candy and chocolate store! So much licorice and chocolates and candies! Great customer service too! read more

If you have a sweet tooth, this is certainly the place for you. Homemade chocolates, cookies, and more than 100 types of licorice from around the world. It's a small store filled to the brim! The owner immigrated here and opened this store in 1990 and she is still here, Amazing and inspiring story. Staff was very friendly. Lots of selections but not sure of the quality of the ingredients used. I got a dark and a milk chocolate orange cream and there was definitely artificial coloring. The chocolate did not look or taste to be high quality but are priced as such. I can find no ingredient or cocoa source list anywhere which is concerning. My friend loved it and thought all was great, but I was not so impressed. read more

Old school candy shop! Around since 1990. Shuttered for a few due to Covid. Back and hopefully surviving. Right across from City Center. Great selection of chocolates and European licorice. Savoring right now an aged bourbon cordial. read more

A friend recommended we stop in here before a show for a treat and I am so happy we did. This shop is a true gem. The variety of chocolates borders on overwhelming. Sure it's pricey but you get a pretty decent product. I tried 4 different kinds and all were stellar. The beau went for the nonpareils and seemed to like them very much. It can be a bit hectic in the small space but the young women behind the counter seem to know what they are doing. I can't wait to return for more. read more

Very pricey here. They have lots of selection of goodies. Service was decent. It's a very tiny location. The coconut clusters are expensive but very good here, even though they use white coconut instead of toasted coconut. read more

Good little ball. First initial bite was questionable but then it tasted really good the more I chewed. Fun inside. So many jars and overload of options. So so so many kinds of licorice! Shy workers. read more

Loved it here! The chocolates were delicious and the shop was super cute and well decorated.

A nostalgic chocolate shop, or more so, licorice shop with licorice from around the world. The chocolate is okay not stellar, but you would be amazed of the collection of licorice and other assorted items. A immigrant run business by a nice lady from Poland. She is the only one running the store so service might be slow. read more

this place is really nice and its a small shop that has been around a long time. i got 2 milk chocolate pretzels, 6 milk chocolate peanut butter cups, and 1 chocolate covered gram cracker. everything was delicious! but i must say they do weigh it and it was pricey at 19.00! i was a little baffled but i didn't want to put anything back. just beware. read more

I wanted to like this place. I mean, I love chocolates, and my husband loves licorice, so really you'd think it'd be the ideal shop for us to pick out treats that pleased us both. The choices of both, particularly licorice, were a little overwhelming, but my husband still found a few different types of candy he wanted to try. But damn, the woman behind the counter was just wildly unfriendly and unhelpful. I decided to skip the chocolates, after she rolled her eyes when helping my husband. Listen, I don't mind that the place is shabby. I don't even care that it looks like, in some cases, stuff has been in the jars for... a while. It's part of the whole ambiance -- I get it. But what shouldn't be shabby then is the service, and it sure felt like it was. (Husband reports the licorice were good, so maybe I'm just being fussy myself.) read more

Wow. More types of licorice than I have ever seen. A bunch of jellybeans and chocolate covered fill in the blank! Nice selection of chocolates and cordials. I am a dark chocolate person, they have a good selection. We also tried the ice cream. Very good. read more

This place is amazing! I've been twice this week. A huge variety of chocolates, jelly beans, licorice, and more! The ladies are super friendly and helpful. You must go!! read more

Over priced and mediocre at best chocolate. Spent $30, got a pez, four pieces of chocolate and a tiny portion of licorice. Buyer beware

We stayed at the Blakely, right next door. I went in 3 times. Cute place, great chocolates and licorice. BUT this experience was truly a 3, but I know they are struggling so I'll give them 4 stars. Not one of those girls, including the owner, had much of a personality. I felt rushed and like they didn't want to answer any questions. Just pick what you want as quickly as you can and leave. While it's a very small shop, their attitudes are unbecoming. If I weren't such a fatty I wouldn't have gone back. Perhaps you could treat the humans spending money in your store a little nicer. Especially since it's those people who will keep the doors open and the lights on. It's a shame such a sweet shop has such sourpusses running it. read more

This is one of the last of the old specialty stores n NYC. It is a very special store with the best homemade chocolates and candies. Amazing favors that you cannot find in commercial candy. This small location has big flavors and gifts that will have lasts ng impressions. Can never forget their homemade cookies, warm as if right out of the oven Now that I moved out of NYC, I still call in to get an order of their chocolate malt balls or Easter candy. They truly have the best candy in the world and a destination stop when you visit NYC. read more

A lovely throwback of a store with jars upon jars of licorice. The woman who served me was wonderfully patient and accommodating as I tried to handle the abundance of options. read more

I came here after seeing them in the NY Post. As with every other candy store in the city they have a huge wall of chocolates, pralines etc. Prices are pretty steep and I think I would go elsewhere next time to satisfy my sugar cravings. read more

I am in this neighborhood once in a while and the store was empty so I went in, but I did not feel welcome and after hearing the prices, I just left. If your store is empty, it would be better to welcome customers as if you actually want customers. read more

This place is so classic and homey. Mrs. Myzel was so friendly and helped me pick the perfect licorice to my liking. Definitely go support this place for all of your chocolate and candy needs, especially for gifts and around the holidays. read more

Been coming here for years to bring my mom the marzipan chocolate which is hard to find! Delicious, fresh, home made, local and a hole in the wall magical little spot. Bring cash if you'd just like to sample since it's $15 minimum for card + there's a service fee. (Still worth it for me, I add on almond clusters to meet the minimum). read more

Tiny little shop that is loaded from top to bottom with a huge range of sweets. The counter and everything else feels like an old timey store but in the best classic kind of way. The lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful. She let us sample. I had a piece of sour licorice that was quite good. They have a HUGE selection of licorice. They had a bunch of flavors and styles I had never seen before. We picked up several boxes of truffles for friends and family back home. I would have liked it even more if they had more white chocolate options, but that is just me being a little picky. I would definitely recommend it. read more

If you love licorice, you will love this place. They have like 200 kinds of licorice from all over the world. Be careful not to eat too much though or you will be sitting on the toilet a lot. I didn't know that licorice caused this type of symptom when you eat too much. The licorice is so delicious, it's very hard to stop eating it. read more

An old-time old-world candy shop. Stopped by on Valentine's Day for some sweets. Prices were NY-high but the truffles we got were delish. Way too many licorice treats to pick out and they didn't offer any suggestions making things a little more challenging. Ultimately, the ones I got were a little too bitter for our tastes. Overall, lots of selection and a worthy find for something out of the ordinray. read more

This adorable and chocolate rich shoppe has the most delicious milk chocolate clusters I've had.

An experience beyond compare. Very knowledgeable about licorice/liquorices with a collection of choices that is funny. Also nice chocolates. My Dutch friend who is crazy about drops was satisfied. Take time to talk to the owner and get recommendations. Such a singular experience. read more

All of the old candies, fantastic chocolate by the pound. Struggles thru COVID-go and support her!

Mediocre chocolate at best. The place has a great selection of licorice which does not disappoint. Lots of other sour candies. It's a great candy store but there are better chocolatiers close by. read more

It's an old school candy shop that you don't see anymore. It's small with lots of choices depending on if you like milk or dark chocolate. So many choices and it's all excellent! I particularly like the dark chocolate covered coconut!!! read more

This shop in Midtown is amazing - and it's open now. There is so much high-quality black licorice from all over the world. Strong, mild, sweet, salty, fruity, on and on. I have been coming to Myzel's for years and have enjoyed every type licorice from here. If you are unsure of what to get, ask Kamila to make you a mix. There is also a large case of chocolates, truffles, ice cream, and homemade cookies. Displays with holiday and seasonal themed baskets and gift bags change often, so stopping in multiple times a year to see the displays is also fun! Stop in and enjoy some licorice, it is a true NYC gem. read more

Tried going here a second time, same experience. Unfriendly, unhelpful, old licorice.

Listen-- this place is way too over priced. Chocolates are priced individually vs. by weight. Four SMALL pieces of chocolate will cost you $10.00+ plus. We're not talking big pieces. We are taking miniature bite sized pieces of chocolate. I do not recommend this place. Way. Too. Expensive. read more

The licorice was great. Australian red and black ones had great flavor to them and were big and soft. We also tried the marshmallow licorice minicubes which were different and very flavorful too. Like other reviewers, we noted that the shop owner was not very nice and was treating her employee rudely (the employee was nice and helpful and was just trying to do her job) read more
