Cocoa Store

So glad I bumped into this place. Kind of like a speakeasy chocolate temple. Takes a bit of effort to get inside (is that the Metallica producer office on the way up there??). Tons of selection from small chocolate makers from around the world. Prices a bit steep but worth the splurge if you appreciate really well made chocolate. None of that grocery-store-takeout-lane stuff in here. Highly recommend the schlep upstairs (work those stairs to burn off the sugar high)

An Incredible Store and a hidden gem. As a chocolate connoisseur, I was very pleasantly surprised to come across this store thanks to the store sign on the street. This store is easy to miss walking by (it’s on the 6th floor) but totally worth checking out! They have an incredible variety of chocolates from around the world. The Employee in the store was very knowledgeable and generous and we got to sample many different chocolates before choosing our chocolate bars! The prices are very competitive and fair. If you are a first timer, I highly recommend this store. Try out the Castronovo Dark Milk Chocolate 63% from Colombia - might be the best dark milk chocolate I have ever had.

Forget hidden gem. It’s a trek and a half to ring the apt building style bell, walk down the hall and around the corner, take the elevator to the 6th floor, and walk+make 2-3 rights to find the Cocoa Store. Once inside, it’s beautiful, bright, airy, with a lovely selection of smaller chocolate brands like Soma, Chocolat Bonnat, Domori, and Puchero as well as many non bons. I’d recommend this spot for gifts of chocolate whether white, milk, or dark with inclusions and flavors. We had the hot chocolate here. It was warm, kept its temperature, rich, and chocolatey. The hot chocolate does not like marshmallows so skip if you need marshmallows.

I really like this place and would absolutely return! It's a hidden gem, but getting up to the sixth floor is totally worth it, in my opinion, to witness and sample an incredible chocolate collection. I seek out 100% chocolate bars and The Cocoa Store has one of the best collections I've seen so far. The staff was incredibly welcoming and willing to sample anything. I left with several chocolate bars and the interest in going back for more!

Excellent selection! Great for gifts. We bought a bunch of individual flavored chocolates and the store worker labeled them for our custom box. Then we had a private chocolate tasting and bought a few bars. Very good quality chocolates from all around the world.
