StreetLevel: Room for Chocolate on Court Street

newchocolateroom.jpg
Sweet! As noted on Chowhound a couple months ago, Fifth Avenue’s Chocolate Room, which was voted the city’s top desert café in the 2008 Zagat Survey, is about to open a second outpost on Court Street. Chocolate Room’s owners expect the new store, which will be between Butler and Douglass (near the movie theater), to open by mid-January. With Sweet Melissa Patisserie just across the street, this is becoming dangerous territory for calorie counters. It also could be bad news for the concession stand at Cobble Hill Cinemas, no?

Two words: who. cares.

Posted by: guest at December 17, 2007 3:08 PM

me, apparently. and a few other people.

Posted by: guest at December 17, 2007 3:13 PM

Yum! Yay!

An inability to care about chocolate is an inability to love.

I don't think so.

I'm with 3:08. Stoner, you are really stretching it thin to produce news.

As for the chocolate room, its an interesting concept. Visited the place onec, but it was too much. Too much chocolate and nothing to balance it. The wife, who is a chocolate freak, said, it was pricey and I feel like I just OD'd on chocolate.

Perhaps they've balanced the menu since then. Or we're just not their customer. Whatevs, seems like they're doing well. Kudos to them.

Cant wait we need more deserts

Maybe you're the one stretching it thin by thinking of this as a "news" blog, 3:36. It's not as if Brownstoner wrote "Extra, Extra, read all about it! as the headline." And "StreetLevel" posts are always about storefronts opening and closing. Maybe you should read the Times or Fox News or something.

What's wrong with OD-ing on Chocolate.

Their cupcakes are the best!!!
I'm addicted.

im not a huge fan of court st and 5th ave turning into replicas of each other.

That stretch of Court just keeps getting nicer. Now if they could only get some nice Christmas decorations on the street.

Posted by: Left Hook at December 17, 2007 4:32 PM

I mean holiday decorations.

As long as there's Nexium, I will continue to love chocolate.

I haven't been able to find really rich hot chocolate around here since the French deli guy moved away. So I am psyched!

I thought Smith and 5th were replicas of each other?

Posted by: guest at December 17, 2007 7:08 PM

"im not a huge fan of court st and 5th ave turning into replicas of each other."

Because crossing through Gowanus to get from one to the other is such a special treat, and you would hate to see the need for that traversal minimized?

Posted by: guest at December 17, 2007 7:29 PM

yes
