There are few things that can get me out of the house on a snow day. A cup of hot chocolate from his delightful little shop is one of them.
This isn't thick, European-style hot chocolate, but it's a thousand times better than your run-of-the-mill coffee shop hot chocolate. It's just the right amount of sweetness, and please, please, please do yourself a favor and go with the "regular milk." Hot chocolate isn't something to skimp on with almond or oat milk period unless you have dietary restrictions.
I've always been meaning to try the mocha, but the hot chocolate screams to every time I walk in here. One day...
There is a $10 credit card minimum.
Side note: The animal sculptures are so life like.
Side note 2: Very strange to name a chocolate shop "Not Just Chocolate" -- is it irony or am I missing out on a...
Read moreNot Just Chocolate is the embodiment of a Brooklyn small local business. Two people with a dream and an amazing skill trying to make it. They have become a regular morning coffee/breakfast stop for me on the way to work every morning.

If you're in the area I would highly recommend stopping by and checking it out. Support...

Unfortunately, I was deceived- I got a nice gift for my friend but when she took a bite of the chocolate she called me to tell me it was hard as rock. I went to the shop again and tried to see if there was a reason for this. But none were given -the person there said it was freshly made- so I decided to give it a try and asked for an Oreo and Rice Krispie chocolate and had it outside my car. It was definitely hard, unoriginal and it seemed like my treats were just covered in chocolate- which I could make easily at home by melting Belgium chocolate. I wouldn’t recommend at all- I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll stick with edible...
