The Chocolate Room

OMG! The best chocolate layer cake I have EVER had.
It literally melted in your mouth– just heavenly!

Came to this spot with boyfriend a couple days ago on a Tuesday late afternoon just on a whim. I had the banana split and the chai latte with soy milk and they were both really really delicious. I like that the chai latte wasn’t too sweet as my banana split was more than enough sugar for me lol. I regret not coming here on an empty stomach so that I could enjoy the whole thing. My boyfriend had a chocolate Sunday with almonds which was also really really delicious. This ambiance is really nice comforting and the super friendly waitresses make it even better. The prices are definitely reasonable. Everything we had came up to a $ 26 bill. I’ll definitely be back here if I’m in the area and craving something sweet.

I came in this cute little shop about a hour before they were closing. I got a small 6 dollar bag of brownies, the bag looked small but there was a lot of mini brownies inside. The brownies were average tasting brownies I definitely have had better. I really wanted to taste there chocolate candy but they were sold out of the one i really wanted.

I am super impressed. I had the brownie al’mode. OMG it was soooooo good. This place is a gem. The waiter was super sweet. next time I want to try the chocolate cake. And… the price is right!

I used to live across from The Chocolate Room on Court St… It was never good. I’m sorry to admit this — but it reminded me of the bland, boring, «American» palate — unrefined flavors, mild, lack of spices and substance, lots of sugar.
I was bored real quick — and never returned after 2007.
Fast forward to this weekend. Friend was visiting… and wanted a gluten free dessert. They had one (it was real bad, she eventually got rid of it). Guy behind counter convinced me that the three layer chocolate cake, that they are famous for, was divine.
It was SHIT ON A PLATE. Catered to and for those w/​European palates. I grew up on nuance and spice and flavor.
I am SO SICK OF servers in NYC who insist that their «chocolate cake» or «chocolate volcano bomb cake» is good. They ALL SUCK. All of them. I have tried way too many to my chagrin.
At this point, I will not trust folks who love bland, hegemonic, (dare I say ethnocentric) food with my palate (i.e. if you think Hershey’s Chocolate is actual chocolate).

This place is a really unique spot. Wine, chocolate, etc…
The prices can get a little out of hand — it is just after all some variation of sugar and flour — but I appreciate the diversity of the offerings and that you can sit at a table and relax.
Friendly service. Good eats. Prime date spot.
Yep, I’d go back.

What’s there not to enjoy about this place. All around chocolate goodness. Calm environment, quick service, great chocolate.

MMMMMMMMM! Just as good as their sister location on Court St. The world would be a much better place if chocolate was negative calories. Like, why can’t chocolate be like celery? Sigh. Anyways — I’ve tried their other location on Court St., so I figured this would be pretty much the same. Yes, I was right… BUT that is a good thing. My friend ordered the brownie sundae and I ordered the triple layer chocolate cake. because when you’re in a shop filled with chocolate, you go big or go home. The chocolate cake was so delicious. It was light and airy, yet the perfect snack for my gluttonous craving. The brownie and homemade ice cream was equally as delicious. RUN to The Chocolate Room! It’s worth every single calorie!

Good but VERY expensive for what you’re getting. I would highly recommend the coconut whipped cream on vanilla ice cream. I’ve never had coconut whipped cream before, and it added a really interesting dimension of flavor to my vanilla ice cream.
Overall delicious, but maybe not worth the price.

I saw on the menu that they have almond milk so I decided to have the Dark hot chocolate: bittersweet Belgian chocolate blended with Valrhona cocoa powder. The temperature of the hot chocolate was good, not very hot. I like the bittersweet taste of it.
Flourless chocolate cake: rich and decadent. Served with raspberry framboise sauce and topped with fresh whipped cream. Some flourless cake are grainy or dry, but this is completely creamy like a dense ganache. The raspberry sauce is very liquid. It’s a rich dessert, the kind that makes you regret eating it because it feels heavy on the stomach.
They gave me a sample of the almond cake which is nice.

I personally believe Max brenners has this place beat. It’s a nice atmosphere. The chocolate cake that I had was good but not gooey. I think it’s all about the Goo-​ey!

Homer Simpson Day Dreaming about the Chocolate World and him eating taking a bite from everything he sees or touches.
I think The Chocolate Room is part of that dream because it’s all desserts and chocolate.
Walking in you can smell the place filled with chocolate and other flavors.
I started off the Milkshake with 2 scoops of homemade Vanilla and whole milk. One of the better milkshakes I have tasted. Not overly sweet, smooth, and creamy.
My girlfriend and I shared a Black Bottom Butterscotch. A layer of bittersweet chocolate lies beneath creamy butterscotch custard, topped with fresh coconut whipped cream, and a chocolate wafer.
Unique, flavors are good, and tasted great.
We also went with the Chocolate Fondue which comes with Homemade marshmallow, all natural peanut butter fudge, coconut macaroons, orange cheesecake, graham crackers, strawberries, and bananas.
The fondue wasn’t too bad. The chocolate had a slight bitterness to it. I liked the dipping the strawberries, bananas, and peanut butter fudge the most in it.
Probably the go to dessert spot in Park Slope near Barclays Center especially if you in the mood for lots of chocolate.

Good dark hot chocolate, just the right amount of bitter sweet, and not too thick or too watery. Very friendly people too.

I’ve been here twice in the same week, so I guess that says something about it!
The first time I came in, I just stopped by to pick up some goodies — hot chocolate, a brownie and their take on an Oreo. Hot chocolate is delicious. It’s sweet without being too thick or decadent — just right. I especially love their whipped cream. Their brownie is the perfect combination of fudge and cakey (which is more fudge-​y than cake-​y in my opinion). The «oreo» is good as well, though nothing too amazing.
The second time, my friend and I actually sat down and ate. We both had drinks and shared the brownie sundae. Brownie, good. Coffee ice cream, gooood. Whipped cream, good. My only issue is that it took way too long for everything to come out. Service was just ok — she took our order and did her job but didn’t really check up on us after.

This little restaurant is Chocolate Heaven! If you need a chocolate fix here is where you go. Everything about this place is fantastic. Tends to get busy over the weekends but other than that it’s totally worth the wait. Highly recommend the liquor pairings it is sure to send you straight on a high note to heaven and back!

Mmmm… Chocolate! LoL I made here a couple of weeks ago. I forgot to share that. In three words. Warm, Smile, Chocolate! This will be my new spot to collect my thoughts and have a chocolate milkshake or Hot coco ! Yup yup yup… And, Smile!

OMG! How to make a friend’s birthday special… have dessert here! We came after a barbecue dinner and to say this place hit the spot is an understatement.
It was Super Bowl Sunday, so it was not as crowded as usual. Everyone was friendly and Ruth, our server, could not have been nicer or more helpful.
But the most amazing thing is how they bring their desserts to the next level!
We split an ice cream sundae with homemade coffee and vanilla ice cream, incredibly rich and delicious hot fudge, brulee bananas and just about perfect whipped cream. And as an added bonus, you can go in on a Sunday and fulfill your caloric intake for the week!

I’ve been here a few times and was never, ever disappointed. Also, chocolate is my favorite food so I think it’s impossible for me to go wrong here.
I’ve never been to a place like this before, it’s really just a chocolate restaurant. And not like Max Brenner’s — they actually have items that are «real» food with no chocolate in it. I mean everything here revolves around chocolate and it’s fantastic. They have long hours because it’s good for getting a hot chocolate during the day, getting dessert after dinner or a spiked chocolate beverage a little later at night. I have tried the dark hot chocolate (with soy), a café torino, a spicy hot chocolate, and a spiked hot chocolate with coconut vodka. All of these beverages have been great and I think my favorite is the café torino just because espresso and dark chocolate are two of my favorite things. I don’t even like to drink really and I still thought the spiked hot chocolate was excellent. We’ve also tried the chocolate chip almond cake and the brownie sundae. You could also just order confections to take home. I mean you really, really can’t go wrong unless you don’t like chocolate.
The place itself is also cute. The décor isn’t over the top or anything, but it’s «welcoming» and there is a good amount of seating. I’ve also never met a rude server or cashier here, so that’s always a plus. The last time we went, we had a particularly pleasant server. Apparently he came up with a few of the spiked beverages and was able to give good recommendations for that and for a dessert. He was so friendly and really willing to help, which made the experience that much better.
I think everyone should go here. This place is just so perfect for anyone who loves chocolate and great for a date or «girls’ night out» if you will.

Been here several times and love the crème brûlée banana split. The ambience is nice and is a great date spot.

great deserts & beverages! 4 stars
They have nice desert pairing. A MUST TRY.
plus, 1 star for excellent services.
After a horrible dinner experience at Convivium Osteria across the street, The Chocolate Room brighten up my evening.

I went here for a ladies dinner night. Turns out they do not sell any real food, that’s my own fault for not looking that up ahead of time. I thought they were like a «Max Brenner» type of location that has sweets and real food. Ha. The waitress was super sweet, and attentive. I only ordered a hard-​milkshake and we shared their most popular item, «three chocolate cake» or something like that, with three people.
Personally, I LOVE SWEETS AND CHOCOLATES. I am telling you, this place left me happy and satisfied. Liquor + chocolate milkshake? How can you not love this place? Ha.
PS: Does not accept American Express, but everything else — yes.

it is a bit pricey but completely worth it. i’ve had great service and dessert every time that i decided to stay in the café. SO SO SO YUMMYYYYY! treat yo self! weeee! :}

Oh Chocolate Room. I was there with you in the fledgling times when you were housed in a humble tiny space on 5^th Ave. I’ve followed you to Cobble Hill and to your big new space up the block on 5^th. Things have certainly changed. And not for the better.
This was once my go to spot for dessert anytime I had family or friends from out of town. We were even known for coming in 2 – 3 nights in a row during these visits. Service has always been very good, with a few mediocre times. The desserts are much the same, but over the years I have noticed a marked decline in quality of preparation, especially in the garnish stage. More on that later.
After my most recent visit I don’t think I’ll return. We came at peak hour, 9pm on a Saturday evening. It was packed. Some seats opened up at the bar and we opted for them having never sat at the bat before. Huge mistake. What we witnessed there was shocking. The young lady at the garnish station was apparently having a rough time of it. She was throwing things, including the ice cream scoop into the water bath nearby and splashing water, and basically acting like a brat (no eye contact with anyone, no speaking, etc) We watched her microwave chocolate cakes to oblivion and stick her finger into them (gloved of course) multiple times to «check» the temperature, she did the same thing with the crepes (the special that night). Her attitude and actions certainly left us feeling unappreciated as patrons. But, what shocked us as much as her actions was the overuse and abuse of the microwave. I mean, does chocolate cake really need to be microwaved? My mother ordered this and the young lady microwaved it until the frosting was melting into gooy on the plate, and then of course she served it. Yuck. Furthermore, do crepes need to be premade and then microwaved!!! Look around our city and see how many creperies there are. It takes a few minutes to have someone making fresh crepes at a crêpe station. Finally, my butterscotch with the hard black bottom didn’t have this, it was also gooy, no crunch. Big letdown.
At the end of our dismal experience the owner came over having been informed by the waitstaff of our chagrin. She was very nice, comped our meal, but then she started defending the garnish employee, with her in front of us no less. She begins telling us about the young lady’s past. This was tremendously awkward and we felt inappropriate. At the end we left $ 20 as a tip to the great waitstaff– Anna has served us many times during our visits and she is amazing. It’s a pity that not everyone working here is up to her standard. It makes me sad to say, but this was my last time at the chocolate room.

I love chocolate and anything sweet so I may or may not be biased.
My second time here, I had the chocolate almond cake slice and the chocolate layer cake slice. (I shared!) It was fresh, delicious, with no room for anything to go wrong.
The customer service was great. Our friendly waitress wasn’t too overbearing, but also checked in with us from time to time. My friend and I came in during post-​dinner hours, so it was dimly lit with candles and super cozy! It’s the perfect date spot.
Can’t think of any cons at the moment.
I can’t wait to return and try the fondue and hot chocolates when it gets colder outside!

This is the best dessert spot! If you love chocolate, you need to come here.
I went after dinner with my boyfriend for something sweet. We got the spiced dark chocolate, the «adult hot chocolate» and the brownie sundae. Everything was amazing!
Service was very fast, too. The spiced hot chocolate was extremely rich and better than any store brand hot chocolate. My drink (the one and owney hot chocolate) had coffee liqueur, rum and milk chocolate in it — very tasty and warm.
The sundae was good, too. The brownie was warm and gooey (aka amazing).
We will be back.

I’ve heard great things about The Chocolate Room. I was beyond happy when I ran into it in Park Slope.
The inside was warm and cozy with French posters and chocolate everywhere. EVERYWHERE. It’s literally heaven on earth.
I had a Madagascar Vanilla milkshake that was delicious. The quality of the ingredients are exceptional.
I tried the truffles too. They were decent. But the milkshake definitely stole the show in my book. I can’t wait to go back and try the layered chocolate cake.

OMG — my food baby is ridiculous right now. I am so full, even after going for an hour walk after eating here. Our treat was delicious and it was the perfect spot to celebrate an achievement my boyfriend received. We were served right away and the ambiance /​vibe of the chocolate room is very chill.
We probably won’t be back regularly because calories, but this spot is definitely on my radar for special occasions.

I come to the Chocolate Room for their moist and rich chocolate layer cake, and their chocolate egg creams.
I typically grab these sweet treats to go. Once the Bf and I split a chocolate fondue with dark chocolate, which was pretty enjoyable, but once I found out they got their liquor license, I’ve been meaning to find the time to sit down and review.
The chocolate martini is disappointing. I simply assumed that it would have a touch of cream, maybe even — dare I say it — chocolate shavings.
It’s vodka, crème de cacao, and brandied cherry. The alcohol is not overpowering but it is straightforward. You get more of an essence of chocolate aftertaste, with a long, heavy finish on the tongue, but it’s not decadent. This may be a plus for the lactose-​intolerant or the dairy– averse, but not for me.
Their Brandy Alexander, made with cream, chocolate sauce, and a pinch of cinnamon, is perfection. I’ll continue to get the chocolate layer cake slice to go, but when I have some quiet time to sit down, this is the drink. Rich and decadent, creaminess personified.

I’d never been to the original 5^th avenue location, but I’d passed by it a few times. The new one is way bigger and in a more convenient location (at least if you’re over by Barclays/​Atlantic Terminal).
The layout is very similar to the Court Street location, and feels very similar. They also have a backyard, and the bathroom is even in a comparable location. The main difference is the front bakery area is a lot more open at the 5^th ave Chocolate Room.
If you’ve never been to the Chocolate Room, it’s a wonderful dessert spot (perfect for impressing the ladies, or gents).
Like the other location, they start you off with a complimentary little amuse bouche. It was a tiny almond cake, which was delicious.
The Chocolate Room Pudding is amazing if you’re into that. It’s not too sweet, but still rich all the same.
I also had their house-​made Sumatran coffee ice cream. The coffee flavor was incredibly strong, just the way I like it. I also had marshmallow sauce drizzled on top because I’m fat.
All in all, I’m glad they moved CR over a few blocks, and would gladly return next time my sweet tooth gets the better of me.
