Jacques Torres Chocolate - Rockefeller Center

There are a few great finds in the basement of Rockefeller Center. The tiny Jacques Torres Chocolate shop is one of them. Escape the heat and chill downstairs for a chocolate break. They decorate the shop quite nicely according to the seasons and holidays. Expect lots of chocolate bunnies during Easter time. There is a little bar where you can get hot chocolate. It’s the thick European style. I like to get a warm cookie. They’re divine with ribbons of chocolate rather than chips. Take home a box of chocolate or homemade marshmallows. You will not be sorry.

Great chocolate, good service.

Ive watched him fir years on cooking shows or following the french chocolate competition and i ve finally git to taste one of your cookies me and my bf are going to go get more tomorrow

This is a chocolate lover's dream.

Not the same as during chef Torres masterclass. I was lucky to visit this place during masterclass with chef Jaques Torres. It was amazing! I was so happy to try european style hot chocolate and the chef himself was very friendly. So I decided to go there once again. Unfortunately this time was totally different. The hot chocolate wasn't thick any more. It felt more like hot cocoa, but definitely not like a hot chocolate. That was very disappointing. I thought maybe it's just one episode, but it's not. Also visited another location at Grand Central Terminal and had the same experience.

The best cookie in the city!

I gave 3 stars because the taste is not consistent. I went there get hot chocolate 4 times so far. 2 out 4 were good quality. The other two were nasty. I don't want to go to a store a get surprised taste for a hot chocolate. I hope the stores can improve the consistency of the taste.

This has to be the best chocolate I have ever had. Good coffee too. Great for a wait to the top of the rock.

This is a great sweets and candies spot you can find peppered throughout New York City. The fresh baked cookies are what keep me coming back. They also have amazing, albeit pricey, boxed chocolate sets or make your own combos. They also have a great selection of artisnal ice cream flavors. The Cinnamon Swirl is no joke! I'm glad my friend Shoshi recommended we go here for dessert after a Dim Sum Brunch of legend.

You must try the hot chocolate! You will be ruined for life, as once this nectar of the Gods touches your lips, nothing will ever compare

CHOCOLATE MACHINE IS UP AND RUNNING

I love that it's right across from Harry's Italian Pizza Place joint. Underground Rockefeller Center Plaza.

Enjoyed Hot chocolate. Very rich.

Absolutely delicious chocolate but very expensive! Worth it on special occasions though.

Not sure what the big deal is about. The store is dinky. The chocolates were not fresh. The place is not inviting, especially since they expect you to come in and buy expensive chocolate.
