   MarieBelle is nothing short of a chocolate lover’s paradise! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by an elegant, inviting atmosphere that feels like a blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication. The beautifully designed space, with its stunning blue-and-white aesthetic, sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. The treats at MarieBelle are nothing less than extraordinary. Their artisanal chocolates are true masterpieces—each piece is crafted with such care and precision that it feels almost too beautiful to eat (but trust me, you’ll want to!). The milk chocolate mochachino is an absolute must-try; rich, velvety, and perfectly balanced, it’s like a warm hug in a cup. Johnny is wonderful and the heart & soul of this wonderful shop! What truly sets MarieBelle apart, though, is the exceptional service. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about their products. They take the time to guide you through their offerings, ensuring you find exactly what you’re looking for—or something you didn’t even know you needed! Whether you’re a chocolate connoisseur or a casual visitor, they make you feel special and well taken care of. MarieBelle is more than just a chocolate shop; it’s an experience. Perfect for treating yourself, picking up gifts, or simply indulging in a moment of sweetness, this place is a gem in the heart of NYC. I cannot recommend it enough—every visit feels like a celebration of the finer things in life. Bravo, MarieBelle!

   Stepping into this place felt like entering a little chocolate paradise—warm, inviting, and beautifully designed. Our experience was made even better by our wonderful waiter, who guided us through the menu with great recommendations. We indulged in the milk hot chocolate, a dulce de leche tart, and a raspberry tart. While everything was delicious, the dulce de leche tart was an absolute standout—rich, silky, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The hot chocolate itself was divine—smooth, velvety, and deeply satisfying. Overall, a fantastic experience! We’re already looking forward to coming back to try the hazelnut and dark chocolate options. If you’re a chocolate lover, this place is a must-visit!

   “Johnny the Troublemaker” gave us such a good afternoon hot chocolate experience! We were able to sample a lot of different hot chocolates and enjoyed the treat of the scones, MarieBelle specials, and tropezienne. We will definitely return for other visits!

   We had the tea time and it was great. We were first given a small soup and then a three-tiered plate with snacks. They were more unique than the usual that come with tea time. Last they brought dessert. It was a lot of food and I couldn’t even finish my half. Service was also very good. Our experience took about 1 1/2 hours but estimate more time for shopping if you want to buy some chocolates after.

   This place serves exceptional hot chocolate! My personal favorite is the hazelnut milk chocolate. The service is outstanding, staff are incredibly respectful and accommodating. Initially, I ordered a plain white chocolate, but after taking a sip and realizing I didn’t like it, I requested a hazelnut white chocolate instead. They graciously replaced it without charging extra. On top of that, I received three different types of complimentary chocolate shots! The ambiance is perfect for hanging out, and trust me, this is the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. After this experience, I don’t think I can settle for hot chocolate from just any regular coffee shop—this place has truly set a new standard for me!
