NB: We’ll keep most of the names of the goodies in the original. So don’t be surprised to see some French, Italian, or more exotic words. That way we’ll add more mystery to the mix and make you crave them even more!

Bar Pisellino

Pisellino is located in West Village, just next to Christopher Park. The place is well-known for its Italian-inspired menu. It includes some high quality items like caffè freddo, te caldo, caffè corretto, and bicerin.

Bar Pisellino is a popular hot chocolate and cocoa spot in NYC. Their fans compare their products to warm cake batter—topped with a dollop of firmly-whipped panna, rich in flavor and sweetness. They also serve sweets, wine and cocktails.

Bar Pisellino is equipped with a heated outdoor area. Excellent for the colder days.

Daily Provisions

A popular NYC franchise, serving great hot chocolate and cocoa along with other great products. Their four New York spots are located in Manhattan West, Union Square, Upper West Side, and West Village.

Daily Provisions is not a specialized place for sweets or cocoa. In fact, they serve a rich plethora of pastries, sandwiches, salads, freshly-baked bread, and more, providing high quality provisions for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Mah-Ze-Dahr Bakery

Mah-Ze-Dahr is the child of popular chefs Umber Ahmad and Shelly Barbera. With these names behind and with its top-notch menu, Mah-Ze-Dahr is one of the top locations at West Village.

Their highly-rated best-sellers include Heaven In A Box, For The Love Of Chocolate, Bake At Home Cinnamon Rolls, Dark Chocolate Explosion Cookies, and Vanilla Bean Shortbread.

The very name Mah-Ze-Dahr has a meaning behind it. In urdu, the word mahzedahr describes the taste essence of food, its flavor and magic that make it delicious.

Dominique Ansel Bakery

Pastry maestro Dominique Ansel is, as obvious, the mastermind behind this pastry jewel. And the jewel in their crown is the marshmallow flower. When the chocolate hits the warm liquid, it melts and the flower “blooms” and reveals a chocolate truffle in the middle.

Other notable goodies include Triple Cheese Cheesecake, Black & Blue Pavlova, Chestnut Rose Cassis Montblanc, and Mango Earl Grey Vanilla Tart.

Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain

Don’t we all miss the good ol’ soda fountains? We sure do! Such a vintage vibe is the heart and soul of Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain. But their classic desserts are also too good to be missed. Think of treats like egg creams and root beer.

Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain is located just across the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway and Hickey St. from the Columbia Street Waterfront District.

In conclusion

Treat yourself to some sweets! These best hot chocolate and cocoa spots in NYC provide some superb goods for every taste. They are cherished by every New Yorker with a sweet tooth and are well-known across town!
