If you're a chocolate purist, this is your new happy place. I stopped in and tried the chocolate-dipped Madeleines, and they were perfection - soft, fluffy, and coated in a high-quality chocolate that actually snaps when you bite in. My friend's hot chocolate was also excellent - rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I spent a good five minutes just staring at the display case, especially the pistachio cake and lemon cheesecake. I'll be back for a full pastry run soon! read more

Cute little chocolate store, friends have brought over pastries before that were very good. The chocolate and regular croissants were just ok - ended up buying some 72% chocolate bar with nuts and candied ginger to bring back to SF. read more

Didn't see a recent review but I found the pastry case absolutely stunning. When I first entered, the barista person was on her phone but ended it after more customers came in. She was very sweet. I only got a green tea tart which was delicious. They put a layer of gelatin on top which is a fun addition. The green tea flavor is strong which I really liked, I liked the tart's crust as well it was light and buttery. Not dense. I saw the previous reviews and noticed they removed the cream and macarons from their tarts unfortunately. Also I saw the kitchen briefly while checking out their utensils, it was very clean and chef looked super immersed in his craft kneading away. Lastly, I didn't give it a 5 star because i would like to try more of their pastries and coffee to give a fair review of their products. Very tasty so far! read more

Such a cute and quaint cafe with authentic French pastries and chocolates. Came in on a weekend afternoon and most of the pastries were already gone by then. Thankfully I was able to snag the last apple turnover. It was very filling - the size of my hand, and not too sweet which I prefer. I did wish they offered to heat it up as I was planning to eat it right away. For drinks I got a hot chocolate with oat milk and my friend ordered an iced cafe latte. The ice cubes themselves are actually frozen coffee which is a brilliant idea. Seating is limited - it seems most people grab and go. There is also one table outside which makes for great people watching. read more

You can count on one hand the number of true patisseries in Jersey City--as in ones that make entremet pastries and not just puff pastries. I really wanted to love L'Atelier, but our experience was too mixed. The good: - Pumpkin Mousse (seasonal) - Pistachio Opera The aiight: - Rice Krispie Cheesecake (great separately, should never be combined--too hard to eat with a spoon or fork) - Ganache Cake (too dense without much variety) - Chocolate Brownie (too light on flavor) - Canele (not chewy enough) Not opposed to trying their new creations when they rotate in, but this wasn't quite the Manhattan-esque slam dunk I was hoping for. read more

Chef and staff so warm and welcoming! Chocolate heaven! Went looking for a gift, I found a selection of assorted truffles. Also left with hazelnut chocolate croissant, mini pack of chocolate and pound cake as well as hot chocolate. Tons of indessert options, had a small seating area. It's a very dangerous place to visit if you're trying to avoid sweets! read more

I am still a big fan of Matcha Yuzu Opera. It is simply delicious especially when matcha sponges were made very moist. I get disappointed if it was sold out or the chef didn't make it on my visit. The spread of Yuzu Marmalade on top of the cake makes big difference. When it was replaced by squeezes of white butter cream, it became totally different taste and flavor, which i didn't care at all. The white milky cream in between layers tastes so good as well. It blends perfectly with matcha sponge and Yuzu marmalade in your mouth. I have also tried a madelane raspberry cheesecake, a madelane lemon cheesecake, a chocolate hazelnut opera, and a flan. Both cheesecakes were very flavorful and could spread raspberry or lemon flavor in my mouth right after the first bite. I liked both very much. I also really liked a chocolate hazelnut opera. Its chocolate hazelnut cream was so good. In the end, I liked all of their "opera" cakes. Flan was okay. Not my favorite. It was just a baked version of flan. It's too simple. read more

The pastries are very good, but the staff is very rude. Simply asked for a bag because of the cold weather so I could keep my hands warm inside my jacket and the woman argued with me. Over a bag. Longtime customer lost. read more

Breathtaking pastries right in the middle of Jersey City. This small spot is nestled away near the Newark Avenue pedestrian path away from all the crazy bars and such which gives this a nice friendly neighborhood vibe. The selection on display is plentiful though their online menu shows more items available. Their tarts are nice and sweet and exploding with flavors and textures. The macaroons are ones you can enjoy every single bite and crumb and totally be taken away. The lava cake is amazing and the chocolate in there is perfectly balanced - not too overwhelming, not too sweet but still decadent enough to be packing enough quality into one cake. The apple turnover pastry they have light, flaky and fresh. This is a decent breakfast item and is typically available as well. read more

I'm the one with a sweet touch but my partner in crime out did me on the pastries lol. Gained weight just looking but they are all delicious. Tried almost everything except for one they were all delicious. The one I didn't like was not a fault of the bakery it's just I don't like a certain flavor. Go get some asap you won't regret it read more

I went in hoping they might have cakes for a last minute birthday surprise for my hubby. I was sad to learn that they don't carry cakes but they do have a beautiful and delicious selection of chocolates. Glad I discovered this cute neighborhood gem. read more

I am on a mission to try every cake on their menu and it is a mission that I am thoroughly enjoying! Passion Cheesecake - Absolutely delicious. Sweet cream, tartness from the passion fruit combined with crunchy, buttery base and creamy cheesecake - sums up a perfectly balanced dessert. My favorite! Green Tea Tart - Great, buttery tart shell. The filling is caramelly in texture and a little too sweet for me but Hubby likes it. You get a bonus macaron and delicious sweet cream on top of the tart! Lava Cake - Not too sweet, I like it. Bittersweet of the chocolate comes through. I enjoyed the combo of gooey, molten center and cakey crust. Financier Ganache - Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The ganache is little too thick, too much and chocolatey for me, but fans of chocolate may enjoy it. Will update the reviews as I try out other items on their menu! Tip: Order through their website, prices are cheaper than through Grubhub or Seamless! read more

What a gem in downtown Jersey city ! Beautiful tarts, delectable macaroons in an inviting boutique setup. Love it I cannot stop myself from trying one of their macarons whenever I walk past this shop. So far I have tried almond financier, ALL flavors of macaroons, chocolate ganache and financier chocolate and wasn't disappointed once. Staff is extremely friendly and answer your questions patiently. I highly recommend this shop (even though it is on the pricier side, everything is super in quality) read more

We came in with a gift certificate to pick up some pastries and the staff behind the counter were super nice about it. They were also really helpful when we had questions about the pastries. We ended up with 4 pastries - the creme brulee tart, mango tart, chocolate tart, and a strawberry-passionfruit tart. The strawberry-passionfruit was very pretty to look at and tasted great. The creme brulee tart had three mini-macarons on them that were just DELIGHTFUL. I cannot wait to come back and just have macarons (if they do have them). read more

Don't miss out on this place! The chocolate croissant is to die for as is all the viennoiserie. Eric, the chef, is super nice and friendly!

(+) Fast service, order online and come within minutes. Good presentation (-) too sweet. Way too sweet . took a bite and get rid of them all. Should have options with less sugar cake and adjustable sugar level for the beverage if they want to have more audiences. read more

Great place and one of the best chocolate shops in Jersey City :) All the beauties are made by chef Eric Girerd by himself and he is one of the nicest person I've ever met!

I've lived less than a minute away from L' Atelier for four years and yesterday was my first time stepping inside. Let's just get one thing out of the way. This is not your average chocolate shop. I normally go to Duane Reed to pick up Valentine's Day chocolate, so let's just say that this was a very different experience. Everything at L' Atelier is high quality. Every single little truffle is beautifully handcrafted. The shop is tiny but the selection is huge. There are of course a ton of different chocolates and truffles, but there is also a bakery counter with cakes, macarons, tarts, croissants and more. They also sell hot cocoa which I'm sure is super rich and delicious. I didn't try any during my visit, but definitely plan to come back before the winter is over. I was a little apprehensive to spend $50 on a small box of chocolates, so I walked away with two chocolate covered strawberries and two small molten lava cakes ($18 dollars for this). The price point is steep, but after digging in to my treats I can now understand why. Well, the strawberries were just okay. The chocolate was great but nothing special. The molten chocolate cake on the other hand was out of this world good. Heated up with some vanilla ice cream - doesn't get any better. Prices are obviously high, but that's not why I'm knocking off a star. It's a luxury chocolate shop, and expensive chocolates are to be expected. I didn't love that the service was snarky. Absolutely nothing is marked with prices, and not everything is labeled. And what is labeled is written in very small handwriting and is hard to see. When I was asking about prices and items in the case the woman helping me was very snarky and seemed to be really annoyed about my questions. I think they should label things a little clearer if they want less questions. In any case... this might not be my bakery or chocolate shop for the every day. But for a special decadent treat this would certainly be my pick. read more

Their cakes and pastries are always amazing! Every time I order a custom cake, my friends are already delighted. The staff and Chef Eric are welcoming. L'Atelier du Chocolat has been my go-to for all things pastries, cake, and chocolate since 2015 when I moved to JC. read more

*the* chocolates I want for Valentine's Day. I visited on a cold, rainy night with the intention of just looking. I left with a Praline Financier mini cake and well, I had one forkful and that turned into a near inhalation of one of the best things I've eaten in JC. Upon arrival I told the woman who helped me I was just looking and I'm very picky. We both laughed and she said "Good. I am too. I know you'll like." And that's when I knew I found my soulmate. Chocolate shop soulmate that is. Myriad of bonbons, truffles, cheesecakes, croissants all created in house daily. Fresh in every sense of the word. Go-to for chocolates in Jersey City steps away from Grove St Path. read more

While I did enjoy their chocolates, the rest of the deserts we tried left us wanting more. The desert on display and for sale lacked diversity, wasn't baked the day we were there and the pasty of the brioche bun with pistachios and butter cream was overpowered with whatever flowery essence was added to the cream. I haven't tried any of their pies so maybe they are amazing. The place is small and no frills. Has great potential and maybe we were there on an off day. read more

The coffee tasted great! It made me a day! I had plain crossount, cannoli and doughnut. The pastry looks not surprising but I was amazed by the custer in the doughnut. The pastry / chocolate chef made the chocolate by himself. Please forgave me the description in the picture. The coffee latte made me a day especially in such cold weather. I will defiantly try their chocolate next time according to the lady came by the store at the same time. read more

Stumbled by this place randomly and im definitely glad i walked in! They have some of the best pastries and desserts in the area. They sell gourmet individual cakes and chocolates.

While I have not been to France, I may have just gotten a peek. The shop has the delicacy and lightness I want to believe every cafe in Paris exudes, and you can see the chocolate forms and finished product from the narrow counter as you sip your coffee. The chocolate I only sampled, substantial without the American sugar levels - well done! The only pastries available this morning? Croissants. And when you do something well, you need do little else. My response text to my friends who referred this place - The plain croissant has the buttery lightness of love, and the almond is...essentially a vessel in which to move the almond paste. Debauchery, descending into the upper levels of hedonism... Just go. read more

I came here to get my mom a present for her birthday. I decided to get the 6 chocolates for $15. The chocolate in the front is just for display. They actually pack the chocolate from the boxes behind the counter. I hope this means the chocolates are made more freshly. The ones without the labels facing front are the ones they ran out of. I only had a small piece of the mint one since I wanted to leave most for my mom, but it tasted delicious. I also got my mom the pre-packaged Swiss Rocher. They taste very similar to Ferrero Rocher, but slightly higher in quality. They are quite pricey at $18, so I'm not sure I would get these again. Ferrero Rocher is similar enough and considerably cheaper. For myself I got a Pain Au Chocolat for only $2.75, which was quite good. They were freshly baked and before I knew it I ate the entire thing without realizing it. Overall, this chocolate shop is on par with the abundant chocolate shops in Manhattan. It's great that I can get artisanal chocolates in Jersey City if I don't have time to get them in Manhattan. Even if you don't want chocolate, I recommend coming in and trying one of their pastries. read more

Jersey City suddenly has an amazing bakery on every block seemingly but L'Atelier Du Chocolat is has the best desserts and chocolate by far. Prato, Coco Pain, and Cafe Madelaine are all awesome and I will still go to them but for desserts L'Atelier is the best. Their tarts, chocolates, macarons, and backed goods are perfect. The man who runs the place is also really nice and friendly. Great addition to the neighborhood and a must try to treat yo' self. It's a little pricey but work it. read more

I got my bday surprise cake today, it was a creme brulle strawberry cake. it was just bad, texture was not smooth, cake was soggy and half bottom was frozen, ice on the strawberries, and it just tasted bad.It was a big mistake and waste of money in all. Even the writing on the cake was a joke like some kind of characters. I didn't want to disappoint my husband because this was a surprise cake. If I could return it and drive to downtown I would. L' Atelier Du Chocolat should be ashamed to deliver it and shouldn't sell this quality to customers. I demand a refund. It just ruined my bday. read more
