Chocolatte Espresso Bar — Restaurant in New York

"Absolutely appalling experience at Chocolatte Espresso Bar! The coffee was burnt and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. The 'fresh innovative menu' was a joke - the food was stale and lacked any semblance of creativity. The 'pleasant, modern atmosphere' felt like a dated, cramped cave. And don't even get me started on the 'dedicated service' - our server seemed completely disinterested and took ages to take our order.

The free WiFi was the only decent aspect, but it wasn't enough to save this disaster of an establishment. The prices were outrageously high for the subpar quality. I've had better coffee and food at a roadside diner. Chocolatte Espresso Bar is a total disappointment and a waste of time and money. Avoid it like the plague!"

"Absolutely appalling experience at Chocolatte Espresso Bar! The coffee was burnt and tasted like dishwater, the food was stale and overpriced, and the service was abysmal. The atmosphere was trying too hard to be trendy and modern, but ended up feeling pretentious and uncomfortable.

The free WiFi was slow and kept dropping, and the dedicated service was nowhere to be found. Our server seemed completely disinterested in our presence and took ages to take our order.

The prices were accommodating, I'll give them that - accommodatingly high, that is. You'd think for the exorbitant prices they're charging, they'd at least provide decent food and drink.

Needless to say, we won't be back. Chocolatte Espresso Bar, you've lost a customer (and likely many more) with your subpar offerings. Get it together or get out...

I really love this restaurant. I have been a regular there for many years enjoying their drinks and entrées. The staff is super friendly. The service is quick. The food is great. During the coronavirus pandemic I continued to go there to get take out. The first few times I went there the place was empty and getting take out wasn't a problem because it was just me and the employees there. But then other times when I returned I couldn't stay and get the take out because they don't have a policy that customers must wear masks and social distance while in their restaurant. So I walk in their restaurant to order take out and I see customers waiting in line close to each other no masks. It was like a coronavirus nightmare that I didn't want to enter. So I decided not to order and just leave. I think it would so much better if the workers enforced a mask policy in the restaurant. Then I would feel more comfortable ordering...

Grade A health code. Awesome, decently quick service (comparatively, made to order food obviously takes time to prepare). Plenty of room inside, casual bench and bar seating on walls. Great juices and fresh food. Many pastry and baked goods options. Croissants are five stars, make great sandwiches, salmon and bread 👍. Awesome selection of fresh, grab and go items. Delicious orange juice. Their signature sauce (aioli?) makes anything brighter. Music sits at a nice volume to hear shoulder to shoulder conversation but obscure irrelevant noise, love the exposure to Jewish music.

The iced mocha was the best I have had in crown heights. Espresso is rich and full bodied. There was minimal drink separation even as the ice melted. A very skillfully made drink with quality ingredients. I will return to this spot...
