So I can really only judge this place on its hot chocolate and it's pretty solid (not literally…read morebut)! Walk in and it's a tiny lil shop filled with cute confections. Dog shaped, bolt shaped, NYC placard shaped! Ordered a regular hot chocolate (after snapping some pics of course) and was pleasantly surprised. I expected an excellent hot chocolate and this place did not disappoint. No powder here, real chocolate used to give the drink some body and richness. Super satisfying for a bone chilling Sunday. Overall, would come back for the hot chocolate and maybe a petite chocolate dog? Stay tuned...

Being ripped off for chocolate is a valentine's day ritual. But this place takes things too far…read more They sold me this $25 assortment of what is clearly labeled as "handmade" chocolate. When my wife opened it, we both had to laugh. Three tiny pieces of handmade chocolate and a bunch of halloween candy that's specifically labeled "not for resale." I called the store and the owner was utterly unapologetic. Basically called me cheap (which, granted -- but not as cheap as a storeowner who has to charge $25 for this). I have no doubt he'll report this review and/or write a long defense. Don't buy it.

Some of the best chocolate I've ever had…read more Took my mom here for her birthday with my husband. I saw tours, gluten free bakery items, and tasting room info advertised online, but turns out this was probably outdated info. So when we walked into the warehouse/tasting room we learned those weren't available after we saw some employees doing admin work and inquired. Would have appreciated more clarity about this online since we drove a ways to visit (I had previously tried to call the shop but couldn't get ahold of anyone; our gamble). However they sent someone out to help us at their merch bar and we were able to sample some delicious sea salt dark chocolate before purchasing a variety of bars. Extremely impressed with the coconut chunky, and I'm not even a huge coconut person. Would definitely go back again for that. The sweet pistachio spread was also incredible. Five star products. Really liked the decor and it was cool to see the actual operation happening in the background of the tasting room space. *Shoutout to Jeremy for gifting us a few bars with our purchase! You made my mom's day and she didn't stop talking about Fine + Raw's chocolate all day, even after we went to another chocolate factory.

I've purchased their dark chocolate spread over a dozen times, both from a local retailer and from…read morethe F&R web site. The thickness has been very inconsistent. Sometimes its been too thick to stir, other times it been kind of runny even when stirred. The last batch was more like maple syrup than a 'spread', a horrible mess (although good tasting). I tried to contact the company three times to ensure that if I ordered again I would get a spread, not syrup. I never got any response, just got added to their spam email list. Moving on to other brands of hazelnut spread.

My new favorite candy store in Brooklyn. I spent a recent afternoon in Bushwick and I happily…read morestumbled into Eugene J. Candy Co. It's more than an amazing store with an incredible selection of candy, It's charming, friendly and has a magical quality. Eugene is so friendly, ready to help with a smile and made me feel welcome. It was so hard to choose, I wanted everything. Eugene's has his very own candy creations (now my mouth is watering). "Freaks" are Eugene's version of Nerd's but so much better! He makes them in several flavors, and they are amazing! Who knew I would like chocolate covered cornflakes? I am a chocolate lover but I would never have thought of this combo. They are melt in your mouth while, being crispy at the same time. There is a large selection of gummies in so many varieties and flavors. I felt like I went back in time with many childhood candies that I haven't seen in years. I didn't know that candy waxed lips, fangs and mustaches still existed. I totally had to buy my dad Mary Jane's, such a classic candy. I most definitely will be back. Thank you Eugene!

The Freaks (Eugene's homemade version of Nerds) are a must try. The citrus flavors (grapefruit,…read moreorange, lemon, and lime) are flavored with essential oils and the grapefruit ones taste like a super packed version of my favorite grapefruit gummies. They're bigger and crunchier than the original Nerds, honestly better in every way. After my first trip, I was back within the week for more. For chocolate lovers, there are a plethora of chocolate covered candies and cereals. My go to are the matcha white chocolate covered Frosted Flakes.

Stopped by early Saturday morning to pick up some Blackout Cake slices for a birthday. There is…read moremetered parking in front and residential parking on close by. I had no problem finding parking. They had a few people ordering at the front, and a few people eating in the back. I perused the available cake (and pie) slices and other smaller baked goods, but did not see the Blackout Cake Slice! When I asked the staff, they regretfully informed me that they did not have slices that day, so I went with the next best option... an 8" cake! I didn't get any writing on the cake, as I already had a Happy Birthday candle, and I didn't want to add extra icing to the cake. I liked how well they package the cake. The box was large enough, and they line the bag with a thin piece of cardboard to stabilize the box. I'm not a big sweets person, but I enjoyed the chocolate-y richness of the cake. The cake itself was moist and the pudding held everything together well. I would be back to try their Strawberry Shortcake and other desserts.
