I stumbled upon Harlem Chocolate Factory by accident. I am aficionado of chocolate who has tried chocolate from all over. I can say that the chocolate at the Harlem Chocolate Factory stands out among others and is leagues above mass-produced alternatives. Their handcrafted chocolate bars are velvety smooth and rich in flavor.
During my visit, I bought the 72% chocolate bar and the 72% chocolate with orange, ginger, and fig. Every bite of the chocolate is sheer deliciousness. The bars are set in a mold that gives them an embossed building design typical of buildings you see in New York. Upon turning over the orange, ginger, and fig bar a pleasant surprise is that you will see actual pieces of the dried orange, ginger, and fig embedded into the chocolate. The chocolate bars will satisfy everyone, at 72%, the chocolate is a nice balance between dark chocolate fans and milk chocolate devotees will both enjoy.
Beyond that, they also sell a creamy milk chocolate bar, white chocolate bar, artisanal truffles, and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip cookies.
If you are looking for excellent chocolate or you need a nice gift for a special someone, look no further. Harlem Chocolate Factory produces a exceptional chocolate that will have you going...

The response is always the same (some version of "omg these are amazing!"). The staff is also lovely and lively - I have yet to meet a sad or sulky person working the counter. It's a small shop but an enjoyable experience. I have tried virtually everything they sell except maybe a few of the bars, and I have not once been disappointed. Try them and...
Read moreI was happy to come during business hours on a Saturday, I have been wanting to try this place for a little bit now. I brought some truffles and a bar to a family i work with, and we were so happy with them! first off, the service was super friendly, welcoming, and helpful, but those truffles!!!…. They really do a great job at interpreting southern flavor through chocolate. The banana pudding will put you in mind of a summer picnic! Our favorite was the Bodega dreams which had the sweet and salty going on. I had some limitations because of allergies but next time i’ll try all the flavors! The packaging was also super fancy and made it...
