I've never had a piece of their chocolate that I didn't thoroughly enjoy! They make festive chocolates for seasons and holidays and anytime there are leftover decorated chocolates they usually sell them at a steep discount a few days afterward. Service is always friendly and it's a town favorite! Their long history in Bayonne is a true testament to the quality of their chocolates and their commitment to the local community. Stop in for a treat,soon!

I'll start off by saying I'm not vegan, but I love trying vegan options. The shop is small and…read moredoesn't have any seating, so it's more of a pop in and pop out type of place. There were so many treats to choose from, I had such a hard time deciding. There also weren't prices on the labels, so we had to ask the employee, who was nice enough, but if it was busy, I would find it a bit inconvenient. I ended up deciding on a red velvet cupcake and the cutest teddy bear spritz cookie. The red velvet cupcake was de-lish, I'd recommend this one! The teddy bear cookie was sooo cute but I didn't like it that much :( admittedly I mostly bought it because it was so darling, as I'm not a big fan of spritz cookies. I think the flavor of the vegan butter was overpowering, as I'm not used to that flavor. All of the other pastries looked wonderful though, so I'd definitely come back to try out some other ones!

The previous location sadly and quickly went out of business, and was an ice cream parlor and Guatemalan restaurant. They still serve ice cream here, as well as sundaes, Granizados (flavored snow cone with fruit), and smoothies. In addition, you'll find a warmer holding tamals, chuchitos, and Uruguayan empanadas. Order the shuco! The shuco is a Guatemalan style hot dog served on toasted bread, with guacamole, cabbage and mustard and is unbelievable! Everything about Velvet Cafe was so fresh- the bread, the guacamole! Definitely worth a visit!

Not only is the store pristine as well as the product tastes great, it provides jobs for Staten Islanders who have Down Syndrome. The price is very reasonable for the quality. This was my first trip here and they were sold out of all truffles. I heard they are so good they sell out quickly. No worries, I'll be back. I purchased -Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels $5 for about 7 of them. They are so good -Milk Chocolate Coconut bark. I got a small piece for about .50cents. -Milk Chocolate sticky toffee bark. This was dense so it was about $1.50 -Dark chocolate covered graham cracker. So sweet the girl told she couldn't sell them since they didn't come out looking nice, so she gave it time for free. Ugly or not it was delicious and I'm not a dark chocolate fan till this. What a winner, can't wait to come back for the truffles.

Not the replaced one that they said they were going to send us! That's not the time to deliver anything AT ALL regarding the fact it's not only a work day tomorrow (Tuesday) and the driver was laughing at the fact he brought it so late and woke us up so disrespectful !!!!! The cherry on top with all of this is he LEFT IT IN THE CONTAINER INSIDE THE BAG WHERE THE TOXIC SALT WAS OPENED!!!!!
