Choc O Pain

I’ve been to Choc O Pain a ton of times! Their pastries never ever disappoint. It’s a great place for a book, pastry, and coffee. During my last check-​in, I was in a rush and had forgotten to eat lunch. I decided to swing by and pick up one of their delicious moist croissants and a small coffee. My only complaint was that the service was a bit slow and unorganized!

I wanted to give the place a six but it only goes up to five stars. Exceptional food. Exceptional service. Exceptional atmosphere. Best crossiant I have ever had.

Great little place with yummy coffee, macarons, and fun snacks!

A bit pricey however everything is fresh and delicious worth every penny. I sometimes think the only reason my family visits me is so they can come here before they head home.

Got hot coffee — very good. Got hot chocolate — not so good. Light on the chocolate and no sugar added. Got chocolate croissant — delicious. Little expensive for some items — Bread or sandwiches and Americano is nearly 5 bucks for a large. The wait is frustrating. The cashier has to tell the guy making the coffee everything each time. Surely there should be a better system? It’s a beautiful space with lovely décor and chilled atmosphere.

AMAZING is the only descriptor I can come up with as mind fills with the buttery delights at Choc O Pain… I stopped in on my way to the local Pinot’s Palette in adorable Hoboken… I needed a quick lunch and something warm to drink to get me through the evening and had been food-​dreaming about this place since I’d strolled past the day before.
The cases were filled with delectables including, croissants, kuoign amann, baguettes, sandwiches and quiches. Hot coffee drinks and teas covered their drink menu. I opted for a slice of the quiche lorraine and was ever so glad I did… They warmed the slice up for me and the very kind and friendly woman with the sweet French accent who took my order brought it to me when ready. It literally melted in my mouth. Heaven. Pure cream, egg, cheese, ham heaven…
I also got myself a couple of ham & cheese croissants to take for the following day, as I expected to be snowed into my hotel She assured me they would be open despite the weather, but alas, I was not staying in walking distance from the shop (my waistline is probably grateful for that too!) and had to bis adieu… The croissants were also as amazing as expected, flaky and loaded full of rich baked buttery goodness, and left me wondering if I’ll ever get to visit my new-​found bakery love in the future… If so, I will certainly tell her «Amour de ma vie… Toi et moi, ça né changera pas»…

Love the baguette it has a lil bit of sour taste which I totally love, the chocolate croissants, rasberry kougin was crispy from outside and latte or coffee is amazing too.

Great place. Customer service and food deserves 5 stars. I work right around the corner at daniels and close up for 3 min so that i can hurry up and pick up some of my favorite pastries and other freshly baked food.

I have a great experience at Chocopain. They serve freshly made Chocopain and tarts. Plus, their espressos and cappuccinos are top notch. A perfect way to relax on a Sunday afternoon in a authentic French atmosphere.

Great ambiance especially upstairs! Great bread and chocolate croissant. Legit coffee as well. Will be returning :)

There’s a reason Unilocal considers me a regular, and it’s because even when I can make a pretty damn good espresso in my own house, I’d sometimes rather take a quick walk to Choc O Pain. I love their lattes and espresso drinks. They aren’t too strong and taste really rich and velvety.
I’ve had one of their specialty quiches and it was savory and delicious. The macaroons are yummy too! My favorite are the salted caramel and vanilla. Soon, I will be back for one of their sandwiches because the bread looks to die for. If you’re into croissants, they are a must! Buttery, flaky and could also be sweet depending on which you get.
The servers are all super nice, which makes it that much more of a pleasurable experience.
There is even a room upstairs for private parties and events!

Addicting chocolate croissants!!! Must have more now amazing.
I did try their almond chocolate croissant too, let me just be very clear it is not and will never be a substitute for their chocolate croissants. It was ok but can not compete with their chocolate croissants.
Their berry tartlette was very good as well. It was well balanced. I wish there was an option to add whipped cream on top, life is always a little better with whipped cream.
Service is on the slow side so do not expect to pop in and out. The servers were friendly but management needs to spend more time thinking about how to maximize efficiency, it seemed clear to me that they needed a separate for just drinks, and then a line for everything else.

$ 6.74 for a slice of quiche. Waited 5 minutes for it to be heated up.
Its still ICE COLD. The surface isn’t even lukewarm.
Called back and asked if she just forgot to turn on the oven and she said «uhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah maybe».
Maybe she is high. I wish I was too so I could enjoy my cold ass quiche a little more.
They weren’t busy at all (1 other guest waiting for a drink).

This is a cute little spot with a good selection for a quick bite. Perfect for weekend breakfast/​brunch. Enough room for you to stay in and eat but also very convenient to grab and go. We chose a few things to take out to the waterfront to graze through.
–Egg sandwich with spinach and ricotta. I had them toast it. Bread was a multigrain but had a very slight sweetness to it. So good.
–Croque Monsieur was really good IMHO. The cheese was well done and slightly crisp which is one of my favorite things in the food world. YUM.
Also grabbed a couple sweet options which included a choc croissant. Three small, round croissant type pastries — I didn’t catch what they were called — each made of raspberry, apple and choc chip. We also got a small apple tart. All were just enough for two adults with a little leftover. Not bad for $ 25.
Everything tasted fresh and delicious. We’ll definitely do breakfast like this again!

I’m pretty sure this place is fairly new but let me tell you they are amazing! They have outdoor seating so you can take advantage of the nice weather while getting a little work done.
They have a great selection of small sandwiches and quiches. The curry chicken sandwich looked so delicious it almost made me forget I already ate ;)
We gabbed two large lattes, one hot and one cold. Both were awesome. They have a bunch of diff types of milk products so if you are in need of soy they have it, or skim milk like my preference :) The lattes were well made and the barista was quick, I hate long waits for lattes. They totally have a new customer in me.
Oh and try the macaroons, they look amazing. So colorful and enticing.
Oops guess what I was told they were here for 3 years… I need to get out more :)

Best chocolate croissant ever! I selected the one with almonds! It is delicious!
I didn’t give 5 stars because of the hot chocolate! It is really bad! Don’t order that!
They have a lot of bread options!
The employees were kind, what is a difficult thing to see in the area! I will come back for sure!

They make an amazing bread pudding! One of the best I’ve had in a long time!
Anyways, this café is a true hidden gem in Hoboken. They have a great family style lounge area upstairs with two sets of couches, and a decent size breakfast style table to have your coffee, or even study!
Coffee was alright here, but the pastries, macaroons, and sandwiches here are even better!
I highly recommend this for anyone, especially for people with little toddlers that wanna chill with a coffee and pastry, while their little one plays upstairs with no fuss or problems of annoying the other patrons/​staff in the café.

I arrived in Hoboken in the middle of one of those friendly February snow storms during which they close schools and stuff.
Choc O Pain was like a little oasis of delicious coffee and baked goods. Jonathan, the barista, was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. The almond latte and chai tea he served me were both perfect to take the edge off of the wintry day. Another nice surprise is that they offer vegan options (like soups and sandwiches)!
The place seemed perfect for kids, and everything was kept very clean and tidy (including the restrooms). It’s a great place to work, as they offer free wifi and plenty of outlets.
Overall, an adorable place for both lunch and dessert cravings– they serve La Colombe coffee and a great selection of delicious teas. The cherry on top is that the service is impressive, and they have little fresh flowers on the tables. I can’t wait to visit again.

Came in for a quick coffee after a few of my friends and I had gotten manicures across the street. It’s a super cute French bakery.
Coffee was great and so were their macaroons! Seating is limited which may be a problem if you have a group greater than 3 people. Would definitely come back.

The wife had this bookmarked since she works in Hoboken and had always wanted to try. With two kids in tow, we were in need of something warm to drink and maybe a little something to satisfy a sweet tooth craving.
Place is really quaint, cozy and inviting, with people of all ages and walks of life communing. There is adequate seating on the ground floor, with additional seating upstairs if the kids get loud. Check.
We ordered a couple of hot chocolates, figuring these had to be good given the café’s namesake.
Fail. I’m not sure what happened, but the first sip produced such a bitter taste in my mouth, literally. I gave it a second swig, thinking maybe it was just the foam. Still bitter. I don’t mind my dark chocolate to be a little strong, this was just a combination of bitter and lack of flavor, if that makes sense. I threw it out after that second swig, too worried to go back and ask for another one because one of the kids was in pre meltdown mode.
On the recommendation of one of the workers, I also tried a chocolate short bread pastry. She told me it was chewy, which I don’t mind. But this thing could’ve cracked one of my teeth, it was that rock hard and inedible. Fail again.
Place gets two stars because the macaroons were good and we were digging the ambiance.
