It's not often that I experience absolutely incredible service to the level that I would continue to be a customer of a business even if their product or service was just mediocre. Fortunately Nehaus' chocolates are outstanding as well!! My wife and I were in NYC for our honeymoon and wandered into Grand Central on June 13th only to pass a shop touting the best chocolate truffles in the world. Challenge accepted. Walked in and were warmly greeted. Asked about the truffles and were given two to try. The cocoa powder is rather bitter, but upon biting into the truffle the sweet buttery filling mixes to create a layered flavor that is absolutely wonderful!! My wife preferred a different truffle and we purchased 8 of each. The employee who was helping us (forgive me, but I am horrible with names - she was tall with glasses) was so friendly!! When she found out we were on our honeymoon she handed us some additional chocolates. So unexpected and so greatly appreciated!! My wife mentioned something about ice cream and she said that the location at 52nd & Madison had ice cream. We ended up there a bit after lunch. Thank you so much!! read more

This is a small luxury Belgian chocolate store located at Grand Central Station. They have a handful of locations around Manhattan. They have a very good variety and the chocolate comes in different flavors, sizes and varieties. You can get truffles, cornets (small cones), bonbons, gianduja, and much more. You can buy gift boxes and mix and match the different chocolates to try them all out. However, the item that I liked the most was their signature item, their Belgian praline. The praline is chocolate filled with hazelnuts and/or almonds and was easily the tastiest one. While the chocolate is rich and high quality, this store is overpriced. Even when you buy them in a box, you'll end up paying at least $3 for a piece of chocolate. The larger boxes are $50-$100. This is a good place to buy a box for a special occasion but not for a casual snack. read more

I'm a fan of Neuhaus and their chocolates. They really know how to make some of the creamiest, most decadent bonbons. Had the pleasure of trying some chocolates from one of their Christmas gift boxes and it contained a selection of their classics. Each chocolate box comes with a little foldout paper guide that details out the flavor and fillings (if any) for each chocolate. Even though not all the items depicted come in each box, it's tantalizing to look at all the options. Was able to try their version of Christmas Yule Log and it was good though maybe not as nice as having a piece of real cake. Technically it was wonderful, a crunchy chocolate biscuit coating, a velvety smooth dark chocolate mousse, a slightly tangy passionfruit buttercream, underscored by an almond biscuit sponge. I think maybe in an effort to meld the flavors together (or for shelf stability), the flavors got too light. The dessert would have stood out more if the flavors were punched up a notch. Also you missed the moist spongy cake texture--it was creamy and crunchy and nothing in between. Not a bad attempt at a chocolatier's version though. The exterior packaging is beautiful for all the selections and they're very suitable for gifting. read more

In Grand Central Terminal the Neuhaus Chocolate store is petite. This has been a favorite of mine where I go often to buy or to pick up my specials that I get as I have my telephone number in their system. Like a loyalty card. While looking at the confections I like to talk to the people who work there. I always like to ask them what bonbon they like on that day or the week. Recently I was given two chocolates on the house and then picked up my favorite "nine" in dark chocolate and also orangettes for a friend. Later I sometimes receive an email to give feedback which I always do. read more

This Neuhaus is a small hole in the wall shop at the corner entrance to Grand Central Station. They are low on selections here and also don't do the try a freebee chocolate custom I am used to at other shops. Don't know if they ran out of tissue wrapping with the small shopping bags you get when you buy, but considering you can pay $50 or $100 for a box of chocolate and having them skipping to save a penny is being real cheap and inconciderate by the shop. read more

Neuhaus - two heart shaped boxes - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

This small chocolatier shop in Grand Central is my go-to for last-minute gifts. It's usually quiet, so you can pop in and out quickly. The chocolates are excellent, with the cornets (chocolate cones) being a fan favorite. It is on the pricier side, but that's to be expected for high-end chocolate. read more

Neuhaus is conveniently located in Grand Central Terminal for tourists to enjoy. I stop and look but I'm not a connoisseur of chocolate. Give me a cheap box from Rite Aid and I'm happy. Bring your credit cards and lots of money because it's very expensive and decadent. I'm always looking for free samples. I've yet to get one here! read more

Rudest, most raciest staff ever! They judge you based off your appearance and pick and choose who they want to help in such a small store. Never returning here again, I'll spend my money else where. read more

I absolutely love love this place!! I didn't have the greatest love for chocolates until I returned to the Grand Central area and saw they were still there. I go in there so much requesting the same item, which at one time, was very scarce and backordered, they now know me by face and what I'm there to purchase. Lately, I've been very lucky wandering into Neuhaus just as they have a new shipment. For those who prefer drug store and Dollar Tree chocolate, step up your game and you'll appreciate it. Although they may be a bit more expensive than franchised chocolates, remember: you get what you pay for! They are well worth it. Treat yourself to a small box of decadent chocolates -- with or without nuts and cream. You can also go in and buy 2 pieces if that's the weight of your wallet, but at least give them a try. read more

These chocolates are to die for. Yes, they are extremely pricey, but definitely worth every dollar. Plus, they are just so gorgeously made and melt in your mouth in the most tantalizing way that you feel compelled to make them last for a very, very long time because you just can't justify the extravagance of eating too many in any one sitting. Seriously every chocolate in the box is a different decadent experience and each one will brighten your day! This location is great to: right next to the entrance of Grand Central Terminal. Perfect last minute gift that you can grab on your way out of/into town! Tip: For those of you trying to grab a box before a train, leave some time as lines can be a bit long. read more

Neuhaus - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

Several friends had said good things about this brand's chocolates. I finally decided to try it out since I pass by it almost every day. But I was not impressed at all. I went to this tiny lovely Grand Central location two days ago. The girl working there was welcoming and helpful. She will ask you questions to have a better idea of your likes and then give you recommendations (although she sounded a little like going through routine tasks...just a little). She also gave out samples, which was nice. I picked 5 or pieces from the case. I liked the smooth texture and the crispness of the chocolate shell. But overall, their chocolates are too sweet for me. Even though I asked the girl if one of the coffee flavored chocolate is sweet, she replied "it's more coffee than sweet". Apparently, we have different opinions on that. The lavender one was tasty. It's kinda special that it's dark chocolate with a hint of lavender fragrance coming afterwards. The coffee truffle was delicious, too. Tasted just like creamy coffee. Again, it would be more delightful if it was less sweet. I do NOT recommend the triangle-shaped Tentation (I may remembered the name wrong), which has praline in it. It was too sweet and didn't have much chocolate flavor. I was a bit disappointed about the chocolates. Maybe I should try their other chocolate products other than the individual ones. read more

One can never go wrong with Belgian chocolates!! This place is awesome. A small chocolate store & a bit hard to find if you're inside Grand Central station itself - easier to see from the outside (located on 42nd Street a few doors down from Kenneth Cole & Banana Republic). Big shout out to MADELINE! She's an awesome chocolatier rep for Neuhaus. She greeted me immediately upon entering a few weeks ago - my first time stepping foot into the store. Came in to buy a gift but wasn't exactly sure of what I was looking for. Madeline immediately asked if I had been there before, I said no, & then she offered me to try one of their tasty chocolates behind the glass counter (a big sample size too - not a piece cut in half to save on portion control!). My tummy was satisfied. Still unsure of what to select for my gift, I left the store & came back a few days later. To my sweet surprise, Madeline was working again that day & she remembered meeting me a few days prior. Wow, impressive. I was very happy with my selection - a chocolate sampler of 40 pieces (thin chocolate squared in a variety of flavors) for $25 w/out tax. The box was wrapped nicely & handled well by Emily - store manager - and I was a happy customer. Belgian chocolates are not as sweet as some other well known brands / such as Godiva - but this chocolate is quality, and this store is centrally located & perfect for popping in for a quick sweet tooth fix or for gift purchases. read more

Suggestion to Neuhaus - I understand the kiosk in GCT will be closing at the end of the month. It's a pity, as you have captive audience, and we still have Valentine's Day & Easter. The person staffing this, BTW, is terrific. She really knows your products and takes the time to find out preferences before making recommendations. Your chocolates are by far the best I've ever tasted! The tiny store in GCT has become my home away from home. The ladies are lovely and provide excellent customer service. They know their customers' preferences after one purchase, and they are always introducing me to new delicious confections! Again, your chocolates are simply sublime! read more

Like stated in a previous review, Neuhaus chocolates are some of my very very favorites in the whole wide world. http://www.yelp.com/biz/neuhaus-new-york#hrid:ttpyH-95q-rEw9_lzEziPQ The pralines are my absolute favorites! Their chocolate is amazingly smooth and fine, with the perfect melt in your mouth feel. Chocolates sell for $57 a pound - for 5 pieces of chocolate, that came out to $8. Even if you can't afford to buy the pretty chocolates behind the glass, the small $3 bars on the side by the register are the same quality and tastiness - just not as pretty. Today I bought a gift box for a family friend for $25 with about 16 chocolates in it. With Neuhaus' new flagship located less than 10 blocks away on Madison, I can't give the tiny Grand Central location nearly as much love as I would have a year ago. In comparison, this location is shoebox sized, with a much smaller counter of goodies. It also makes browsing awkward, as you have to stand there with the clerks staring at you, and you can't escape, just turn around in a little circle, hopping indecisively. Therefore, its hard for them to be friendly or extroverted without scaring you off. And if they came out from behind the counter, you'd have even less room to stand around and hop indecisively. read more

Neuhaus doesn't have my favorite chocolate, but its good and it makes a nice gift. Nice variety. Everything is pretty. Very expensive, though. And the employees at the Grand Central shop are great. Just dont get the pieces of marzipan - the ones shaped like fruits, etc. I like marzipan and was happy to buy some in Neuhaus in December. They should have been fine - marzipan lasts a long time and they had a Best Buy Date of 03/01/21. But they were gross. Big mistake. Money wasted. Do not recommend. Yuck. read more

Belgian Neuhaus Chocolate you are absolutely awesome, I had a lovely experience here today. I loved the style and the ambiance of this place. Pretty much every menu item that we purchased was extra fresh and delicious. Service is awesome and crew very friendly. Definitely a place to try out. read more

A close friend of mine runs a brand of chocolate shops that is likely considered Neuhaus' competition, so I need to make a public apology to him as I declare: Neuhaus takes the (chocolate) cake! Sorry, man. During this busy season, I needed help with an order (in a time crunch!), and one of the associates went above and beyond for me, without hesitation and with overwhelming kindness. Thank you, Neuhaus! read more

Stopped in the store a few weeks ago to pick up some boxes of chocolate for Christmas. We were greeted by the lovely woman working there, who gave us a brief history of the company and gave us some samples. They were absolutely heavenly (the cookie filled chocolates we sampled were to die for!) so we bought a few boxes for Christmas stocking stuffers. We can't wait for Christmas when we can finally eat them! The store is tiny (tucked in Grand Central along 42nd St-there's a door into it from the street so you don't even have to go into the station), but the selection was very good and service was excellent. Will be stopping in here for all my future chocolate needs! read more

Neuhaus - Waited for 15 minutes... I had to give up getting chocolate, already running late for work... :( They should hire more people - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

I usually come here when I'm visiting family. The last time I was here it was in September. Every time I visit NY, I HAVE to come here. I usually get 2 Ballotins (34 chocolates per box). Best chocolate ever! I like the chocolate here more than Teuscher, Godiva, Sees, Ghirardelli, Hershey's, etc. The service was good. Always helpful and very nice. I'll definitely come back here again. read more

Really? Only one review of this place? Let me tell you about the chocolates here. They're creamy, complex, fragrant....wait...just go visit because the chocolates are beyond words. I worked in midtown all summer and I would come here almost everyday after work. No matter how my day went, these chocolates would make everything better. The owners are so sweet. Even though I only buy one piece, I'd often walk out with free pieces of chocolate. They're just happy to share their creations. Get anything with hazelnut in it. Or have them recommend something. It's all really good! read more

Little shop in grand central station with a very friendly staff! Beware when I say little I mean narrow and small. So perhaps it's worth knowing what you want before you get in there. Worst case scenario just buy their pre packaged boxes, it's all really good! For those who don't know this brand is actually from Belgium... And that's like the chocolate Mecca! read more

A great little chocolate shop outside of Grand Central Station (entrances from both outside and inside). It is a very narrow, small shop, with a great fresh chocolate selection as well as prepackaged gift sets. Friendly staff, who are very knowledgable about the product. Since I work nearby, I stop in from time to time to treat myself. They sell pieces a la carte. I usually get 2-3 and it comes to about $6. It is cheaper to get the prepackaged sets, but it is nice to choose a few for a sweet treat! A few of my favorites are: the Louise, manon, bonbon, and truffles. I am a milk chocolate lover and each one I've tried is amazing! read more

Always been great chocolate but Today we received the most wonderful customer service thanks to Dominque! Pre Christmas they were out of a specific box- but she organized having them sent from another store. We were very appreciative! That's exactly how you keep a repeat customer! read more

What a cute little find at the corner of Grand Central! Was looking for a great Belgian chocolate place that wasn't Godiva, and I'm glad I came. The owner was friendly and helpful; he offered a few samples without me even asking, and needless to say I left with more than a few white and dark chocolates. Try the white with hazelnut; it's one of their most popular sellers. 4 chocolates came to $8.00, and yes these tiny pieces of chocolate heaven were worth every penny. read more

For a chocolate lover I'm embarrassed to say I haven't delved into the world of chocolate shops.....shame. Cute small little place.....service with smiles.....how are these ladies not tempted to eat all that chocolate?? I just had the caprice and cornet doré......I'm a hazelnut fan and that cornet was just A-mazing. Great assortment and convenient location - right outside of Grand Cental station. read more

Expensive. Super expensive. Chocolate is good but I don't feel matches the price. Honestly, not sure if I'd come back to pay for these chocolates again. But had to try it once. read more

They dish out no samples at taste of the terminal, just vouchers to use at their impossible to find nook of a storefront, where I redeemed it for an alright truffle, but at a price I'd never pay given the premium over comparable stuff. read more

Neuhaus - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

There is no finer chocolate that I have yet to have. To quote Eric Stoltz in Pulp Fiction,"I'll take the Pepsi Challenge with this against that Amsterdam shit any day" if you get what I am saying. I seriously think that there is some sort of illegal substance in it, it is that good. If you like chocolate and get the chance to try it, drop the dough, it is worth it. Furthermore, the staff are friendly and smile and might even let you sample a piece. You can get anything from a piece or two (but who the hell would only get a piece or two) on up to assorted boxes to drop some serious coin on. Do not scoff at the prices, it is well worth it. If you have a chocoholic on your gift list, you will be more than appreciated giving this as a gift. The trick is actually giving up the gift and not eating yourself. read more

Neuhaus - I tried to take a picture of a full box, but once it is opened, taking the picture lost priority to decadence. - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

Neuhaus is the best European chocolatier and has a good offering in healthy dark chocolate with surprising and delicious ingredients: orange, lavender, etc. Their beautiful boxes make for a perfect gift to yourself or your loved ones. Their chocolate doesn't leave a greasy sensation on your palate like the Godiva ones. I love their chocolates much better than Ghirardelli or Lindt chocolates, which are packed in sugar and artificial flavorings. read more

Chocolate covered orange peels. That's pretty much all I have to say. Unless I guess you hate fruit and then maybe you're sitting there thinking ew what is she talking about, orange covered in chocolate? I don't care if you hate anything that comes from a tree, bush, the ground, whatever. TRY THESE. They are amazing. And it's the peel, so it's not really that obnoxiously orangey. I don't even really like oranges. However, it's not just the peels that are amazing, the chocolate quality is fantastic. The bars of chocolate are delicious and some have things in them like hazelnut or raspberry. And unlike other bars where you're wondering if that chunk you just bit in to was really something you were supposed to eat, you can be sure what you're biting in to as they are fully identifiable. Also, the truffles will melt in your mouth in the best way possible. All the flavors ring true and Neuhaus is truly the place to buy chocolate. read more

A friend who was visiting from Belgium was very surprised that I had never tried these chocolates. So before taking a train out of the city we went into the store and got our own box of 9 chocolates for 24$ with tax, yes it's that pricey. The truffles were amazing, especially the ones with nuts in them. There was also a raspberry cream thing which was fantastic. I don't see myself going here regularly but they are definitely worth the splurge on special occasions. My friend spotted a chocolate which was called Dore, same as my last name and wanted to buy it for me, but the lady working there just gave it to me for free, she also threw in some Bonbons. She was extremely helpful and her recommendations were spot on. I would say it's an awesome place to pick up some chocolates when you are visiting someone. Convenient and lovely ! read more

This may be the first review about chocolate where I'm going to start with raving about an employee, Chrystal who works at the Grand Central location. I was blown away by her pride, care, concern and knowledge about each of the chocolates and the warmth that exudes from her sweet personality. She is professional, respectful and courteous so when the time comes, I would like to steal her as she is exactly the kind of employee who I want to have working with us. As far as the chocolates, I'm a picky chocolate lover. The Neuhaus brand is high quality and some of the best I've ever had - in fact, it's become my favorite. If you told me that I had to live the rest of my life only eating the Astrid, Louise, Classic and Champagne Truffles, I'd be pretty darn happy. But that's me. read more

Neuhaus chocolates are my favorite. Stopped off there on my way to Stamford, picked up over a pound of raspberry anything for a friend. The guy who picked them apparently just threw them into the ballotin every which way. Didn't leave them in the paper holders, didn't even attempt to layer them. When my friend opened the box, it was a jumbled mess. Embarrassing for something that was over $67. The chocolate was great but they need to train their staff how to pack chocolates. read more

Chocolate heaven. Located inside Grand Central Station, Neuhaus is for serious chocolate lovers. It's a tiny retail location, so be patient, it's worth it. Oh and bring your paycheck, this stuff isn't cheap but they make incredible gifts or just a wonderful indulgence. This trip, I ordered a medium box of Easter Eggs (a variety of solid chocolates) and a medium box of their assorted truffles. The richness and quality of these chocolates is unrivaled and nothing was lost from the original Belgian stores. Loved it... read more

Small shop in grand central. Big flavor chocolates. We went there Friday night. The young gentleman working was delight, we bought a nine piece assortment for $22 which makes them $2.50 a piece. A little steep but they are awesome tasting. The chocolate bars are small at $350 each they are an affordable treat and perfect to eat alone. No sharing sorry! I love chocolate and left happy. read more

Working nearby is dangerous... I basically will go here every day. The dark chocolate orange bar is awesome.. as well as the little truffles I've tried- the dark chocolate with lavender ganache, dark covered marzipan, dark orange peels and then one that was some kind of indian flavor with these pretty crystals on it... anyway, they're all good. I don't think you can go wrong in this place. This is high quality cocoa! If you are in or near grand central and you appreciate fine chocolate, find this little store. read more
