Brooklyn Chocolate Experience Tour

On our Brooklyn Chocolate Tour, you'll visit four of the finest traditional and artisanal chocolatiers in the borough!

 

The adventure begins in Manhattan’s Chinatown, crossing the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. Our first stop is the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, where you’ll enjoy a scoop of their award-winning chocolate ice cream while owner Mark Thompson shares insights into his ice cream-making process.

 

Next, we visit The Chocolate Room in Cobble Hill, where owners Jon and Naomi will treat you to their famous mini chocolate cupcakes and Belgian hot chocolate, all while sharing the story of their beloved shop.

 

Our third stop takes us to Raaka Chocolates in Red Hook. Raaka, meaning “raw” in Finnish, skips the roasting process to create unique chocolates using natural flavor profiles. You’ll enjoy unlimited samples of their imaginative creations, such as Pink Sea Salt, Earl Grey, Coconut Milk, Ghost Pepper, and more.

 

Finally, we’ll visit Li-Lac Chocolates in Sunset Park’s Industry City, New York’s oldest chocolate maker. You’ll sample three of their delightful varieties, which typically includes butter crunch, sea salt caramel, and almond bark.

 

Throughout the tour, we’ll dive into Brooklyn’s rich chocolate history, explore the bean-to-bar process, and witness chocolate-making demonstrations. Plus, you’ll have the chance to purchase chocolates at each stop and you'll take home a commemorative fridge magnet to remember the experience!
