Jacques Torres in DUMBO
Jacques Torres, known to Brooklyn as Mr. Chocolate, opened his first shop here at 66 Water Street in DUMBO, and it remains the flagship of his chocolate empire. The counter turns out bonbons and truffles with everything from passion fruit to champagne fillings, plus chocolate bark and famously addictive chocolate-covered cornflakes and Cheerios.
A handful of cafe tables make it a cozy stop between Brooklyn Bridge walks, best known for the Wicked hot chocolate, spiked with allspice, cinnamon, and ancho and chipotle chilies, and thick, not-too-sweet chocolate chip cookies. It’s a treat destination rather than a nightlife spot, open daily from mid-morning to early evening.
