Patrick Mahoney: Hands down the best chocolate around! The dark chocolate ganache and champagne truffles rock!
Truong Nguyen: Each of the macaroons are full of chocolate ganache which may overpower the overall flavor you choose. Don't expect a normal macaroon here...
Melissa Rogers: Per Serious Eats: All of their macarons involve chocole, but The Quito—their plain chocolate macaron—nestles silky dark chocolate ganache between two milk chocolate shells. Perfection.

Saarim Zaman: Chocolate ganache is the best!
Carol: Amazing chocolate ganache cake. We brought a cake not knowing that there were 5 others at this bday party.. everyone only ate ours, so the host had 5 cakes leftover
kate wang: I tried every flavor cookie and the chocolate explosion (crinkle cookie meets brownie) is the best. Chocolate chip cookie second. Most forgettable/skipable is the brown butter & bourbon.

Sam Pezzullo: Love everything about this place! The food, the atmosphere, the service. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Also, indulge in the dark chocolate ganache cake pops!
Halstead Property: Talk about dessert porn, a slice of the rich chocolate layer cake with malted chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallow icing to add texture is as heavenly as it sounds. It’s not at all overindulgent
Laurent Raufaste: My favorite restaurant in NY, I'm a foodie and I love a lot of places in NY, but this one is as good as a starred Michelin, without the pricetag and the stars. To try it, book well in advance !
