Glace NY

Great treats, love the waffle cup and the peach sundae (it was in season and delicious). In the winter time the hot chocolates are good! Wish there was more seating, but what are you gonna do

Got the frozen hot chocolate (the one with the toasted marshmallow around the rim of the cup). The marshmallow tasted great - but the frozen hot chocolate itself (chocolate ice cream?) was way too sweet. But - if you love your sugar, this is the place for you!

I recently visited this spot for its viral dessert, particularly intrigued by the creative sorbet with torched marshmallow. My friend and I decided to share the frozen tiramisu, which consists of frozen coffee, crushed Oreos, toasted marshmallow, whipped cream, and cacao powder. The frozen coffee wasn’t overly sweet, which I appreciated, but the toasted marshmallow added a bit too much sweetness for my taste. My friend previously tried the frozen chocolate and had a similar experience, finding it a tad too sweet. Despite this, the desserts are worth trying, especially given their popularity on Instagram. The location is also convenient, making it a perfect spot to hit after a museum visit. The service was good, rounding out a pleasant experience.

My friend had been constipated for 5 DAYS and the frozen glace was the only thing that could get her to Go. Thank you 🙏 That was a month ago—I had the cosmic brownie sundae with mascarpone brownie ice cream base, and I can’t stop thinking about it…The shop is classic ice cream stuff but it’s done exceptionally. Atmosphere: It is so small, this doesn’t even matter. But it’s clean and there’s a good amount of seating outside.

This was a pleasant surprise! Found this gem at rockefeller as a food truck. They had amazing options. I chose their chocolate coffee frozen hot chocolate. It was soooo good on a hot summer day. Plenty seating spaces nearby to enjoy the weather and treat! Definitely will be going back with friends.

I tried the viral frozen hot chocolate. I picked the Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie on top. I liked it a lot. I love the torched marshmallow, the whipped cream and the frozen hot chocolate as well. It’s a little pricey, but I think for the experience it’s well worth it. They also offer a variety of gelato if you’re not into the frozen hot chocolate.

The ice cream flavors have great quality and texture. However, they were light handed with their toasted marshmallow topping, which looked nothing like the pictures I've seen before. I'm not sure if they were low on supplies the day I came or no longer put the marshmallow on top of the ice cream ( as opposed to cone rim).

Excellent flavors. Be nice if the selection and portions were slightly bigger but a very good spot. No place to sit so plan it out should you go in the winter time. If you go try the chocolate mousse

Best hot chocolate ever Get it with a toasted marshmallow on top. It looks like a mushroom.

I saw this place pop up on my Instagram and knew it had to stop in when we arrived there was a small line and we were informed they were sold out of the frozen hot chocolate which it's really what I wanted but I stayed because I was really curious about the marshmallow rim they add. Once it was my turn to order I was informed they were sold out of the waffle cone and the chocolate mousse. I was super bummed out but the nice gentleman told me that he would give me free marshmallow so I stuck around. I got a scoop of chocolate brownie ice cream with a marshmallow rim and brownie pieces on top. The entire wait staff was really nice though. I went around 6:30pm so I'm not surprised things were sold out next time I'd defintely come earlier in the day. Anyways the ice cream and the marshmallow rim were really good I liked the toasted marshmallow with the rich chocolate ice cream. The shop is small so you need to be quick with the order and keep the line moving. I'll defintely come back to try more of their delicious sweet treats.

Removing a star because they didn't have hot chocolate when I went (kinda went just for that) but stay tuned for updates because it'll be back in 2 weeks and I'll be re-reviewing once I try it. Got the hot cider instead, which was a little expensive at $9, but enjoyable. Cider itself is nothing special, it's the cream on top that's great. They add toasted nutmeg to the top too. Hot chocolate + cream does sound better than cider + cream though

This review has unfortunately nothing to do with the quality of food because I don't know what the quality is. I was just extremely annoyed today when standing at the one outside of Rockefeller Center for about five minutes with my kids, determining what it is that we wanted only to then go up and order just to be told that it had closed 20 minutes ago! Lol. Then why is the whole stand open and why didn't you say anything the whole time when we were standing there clearly looking to order.

Wow wow wow! This place is absolutely awesome! Came here to try a fall special and went with the Apple Cider. It was absolutely delicious and the marshmallow topping was great. Definitely recommend this spot for a good drink and excited to come back for their hot chocolate later in the fall!

Stopped in here yesterday with a friend, to grab some ice cream on a lovely and unseasonably warm autumn day! First of all, the vibe slaps here -- even though it's found in the exclusive UES neighborhood, there seemed to be a diverse crowd there...and everyone was loving it. Secondly, my friend ordered the chocolate brownie ice cream, and I ordered their pistachio one; and we both enjoyed our selections so much. We both agreed that our treats were sweet without being overly sweet, and they were so creamy! Plus, we didn't feel heavy or bloated post eating our desserts, even though they felt decadent going down, which was fantastic! The service is efficient and polite and the space is aesthetically beautiful -- very appealing with a fresh, new feel. The only problem was that there weren't enough seats outside, to accommodate all of their happy customers, which is a good problem to have. : ) If you're craving a yummy treat in Manhattan, namely after a walk in Central Park, then you know where to find it! In Sweetness, Katherine

Finally made it here to check out this frozen hot chocolate (FHC) treat and was not disappointed. Got her right at opening on a weekday which unfortunately means that not all FHC options are available as they are still making some ingredients. We tried the cookies n cream FHC and the s'mores FHC. Both were delicious albeit similar creations. A fun cool sweet drink on a hot day. While they are on the pricier side, they're worth at least a visit and I would go back to try some of the other flavors. If there was a long line (over an hour as some have reported) I don't think this is worth that kind of wait.

My review for the Glace by Noglu truck at Rockefeller Center. A few weekends ago I had gone to see the Olympic Games at Rockefeller Center and spied people eating ice creams in large cups. After asking a couple I saw the famous truck. Looking at the menu, I decided on the Yuzu Meringue.for the princely sum of $13.95. This had frozen yuzu, marshmallow, whipped cream and pie crust. With tax etc., it was an expensive ice cream. I sat down to eat and after I ate the topping and meringue what remained was a slushy frozen lemonade. Really? If I had to wait in line for an hour for this I would hope that someone would take my temperature or give me smelling salts. With TikTok and media fanfare, Glacé by Noglu has struck gold. The ice creams have creativity but still is just ice cream with meringue and decorations on top.

NO words or pictures can do this place justice. The ice cream AMAZING. I had the "Apple Pie Ala Mode" and it tasted exactly like it because there actually IS Apple pie on the bottom with vanilla ice cream on top. Service was quick and easy. The store is a cute little place not too far from the Met museum so it's perfect for a little snack before or after. DEFINITELY worth it

I came here last night for the hot chocolate and it was good. My friend ordered the apple pie a la mode and that was quite delicious. I liked the apple pie a la mode more than the s'more frozen hot chocolate. I would definitely go back for the apple a la mode. The creaminess of the ice cream with the hot and delicious comforting apple pie was so delicious. The hot chocolate was good but it was frozen and it is starting to get cold so I do not see myself drinking that in the winter. Also the toasted marshmallow is quite delicious but to me; it is too much. I would have enjoyed the frozen hot chocolate in the summer without the marshmallow just a cup of that with a dollop of homemade whipped cream. I took a star off for that because to me the hot chocolate was not really memorable in the taste. The presentation is beautiful but when you think of the taste; it was ok. The service was also great; they were friendly answered questions and moved quickly. They also have gelato and I had a sample of that and probably would have gotten a cup if it were warmer. Overall I would definitely recommend it for the apple pie a la mode. They have seating outside but it is an exposed open area. There is no place to sit inside.

Stopped here while bouncing around on a Saturday. Being somewhat in the neighborhood, I had this place on my list for a pop-in so we walked up from the Tram and grabbed a frozen hot chocolate to share. I had seen this online by NYC foodie posters - and it was still really good. $10.50 for a small glass was kind of steep but honestly - the two guys working were very friendly and held a convo with me about Seinfeld. I liked the marshmallow and the scoop of whipped cream on top. Very solid and a nice treat while bouncing around the upper east side.

This place is far up on the UES (well further than I am used to). There's tables outside. It's not that big inside. I got a small tiramisu. It was good!

This is absolutely worth the hype! And life pro tip: they just opened up a truck in the Rockefeller area so if you can't make it uptown maybe stop by there? There was literally no line and virtually no wait for my S'mores Frozen Chocolate order. The drink itself is rich and thick, like a good chocolate milkshake. The marshmallow rim wonderfully toasted and it comes with a dollop of cream and a drizzle of chocolate shell to take it over the top. It is a bit pricey at $11 a cup, but well worth a try at least once!

This was worth the late night trip. We got the s'mores hot chocolate and it was delicious. The service was great and efficient. It's a cute little place and would visit again.

Very tasty and very rich! The worker was friendly and helped answer any questions I had. There's no seating inside but a few tables outside.

Now, I really really wanted to rate this higher. I really did. The more I thought about it the less I liked it. I won't be purchasing this again. It was too much chocolate, and the ratio to what I think is frozen yogurt (could've been ice cream) was not great. The quality of the chocolate however was really good, it was very rich, but that's all I tasted. It was so small, it felt like I had a boujee cup of chocolate milk. To spend a little over $11 for this? I expected so much more. The price, to size, and then taste was just not it. Don't get me wrong though, the service from the two employees was VERY good. The one employee was very helpful towards me when I was deciding. She was very sweet. The space was small but adorable, everything was so cute. Whenever I do end up coming back though, I'd rather try their regular ice creams.

Glace by Noglu is the internet viral hot chocolate in NY. My friend had tagged me in one of their posts shortly before my trip, so I made a point to visit when I was in NY a couple of months ago. They open at 11am, and my cousin and I were there right when they opened, and there was already a long line. We waited about 20 minutes to get through the doors. The hot chocolate is upwards of $10 each. I got the peppermint hot chocolate $12.50 and it was good, it tastes like a regular peppermint hot cocoa to me. I guess what sets it apart from other places is the torched marshmallow fluff. Cute place to grab hot chocolate!

Limited summer menu at glace dessert eatery. My friend suggested to try and I liked the concept. The menu has limited fun options. I ordered the frozen hot chocolate. Clever name for a chocolate milkshake. I only included whipped cream, I opted out of marshmallow. Personal preference, but if you like marshmallows, dive in! Lastly, no public restrooms, limited patio seating but no dine in seating. The summer is about to begin, why not indulge in hot chocolate year round!

I stopped by Glace Sunday afternoon around 6pm and was met with a short line outside the storefront. My friend and I waited probably 15 minutes to get in and order, and the process was very quick to get our smores hot chocolate into our hands. The hot chocolate is very rich and yummy - sweet but not terribly too sweet. The whipped cream is very light and fresh and was my favorite hot chocolate accompaniment. I would say though, maybe unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the toasted marshmallow rim was very necessary to add to the hot chocolate - especially for the price. As an FYI, there is seating directly outside the storefront window, and half sheltered seating on the road/curbside seating. No seating indoors and it's a small quaint store overall. Next time if there's not a long line and the weather's chilly, I'd definitely stop by and grab a hot chocolate with whipped cream. When it gets warmer, I'd also probably stop by if I'm in the Area and try their ice cream as I've heard many good things about the ice cream!

ORIGIN: Glace opened in June 2023 as the most recent contribution from the Zabar family to the New York foodie scene. Sasha, Eli Zabar's son, is the owner. LOCATION: Glacé is located in a very small storefront on Madison Avenue, but there is a lit and heated enclosure with several cafe tables at the curb. CONCEPT: As the name suggests, Glacé focused on iced treats. Here you can expect some unique flavors and a commitment to a gluten-free menu. However, the shop has since expanded to include hot chocolate to accommodate winter weather refreshment. EXPERIENCE: Glacé has secured a lot of publicity around its expanded offerings, and at very least I felt I needed to give a cup of one of their speciality hot chocolates a try. I ordered the s'more's hot chocolate ($10). Hot chocolate is served in a paper cup that is lined with toasted marshmallow cream ("fluff") and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. The toppings are out of proportion to the quantity and intensity of the hot chocolate flavor, leaving me with the impression that it's appearance is the primary consideration.

My boyfriend and I went to this ice cream shop after seeing an exhibit at the Met. It was during on one of those teaser winter/not officially Spring New York days where the weather was super beautiful out and we needed a dessert to cool down. When we arrived, we noticed that there was a long line outside and we were willing to wait the 10 to 15 minutes to get inside. I know that this specific restaurant is known for their marshmallow fluff topped hot chocolate. We were glad that we were able to top our ice cream with the toasted marshmallow fluff. I ordered the banana ice cream with salted caramel and the mint chocolate chip for my second scoop. My boyfriend ordered the peanut butter with the Venetian vanilla flavor. I really enjoyed the banana ice cream and the mint chocolate chip however, the salted caramel was overpowering. I didn't get to finish the marshmallow on top of my ice cream but enjoyed the experience. I would recommend trying the ice cream because the flavors are amazing and the ice cream quality is superb. Also, the staff were super kind and composed despite the amount of people lining up to get ice cream and hot chocolate.

We stumbled across this place while walking around with friends who were visiting. We walked into this little shop and discovered a really creative spot selling a variety of chocolate ice creams and unique chocolate/coffee drinks. It's definitely not a place I'd visit every day, but if you're looking for a unique dessert experience, it's worth a try. However, some of the ice creams had freezer burn, which was a bit disappointing. I think this place has gone viral recently because as we were leaving, there was a line out the door and down the street. We definitely got in at the right time.

First place I've personally ever wanted to go to based off a viral Instagram post and am so glad I did! This review is for their Winter pop-up menu :) Sis was in town just after Christmas of 2023 and we stopped by around 6:00 P.M expecting a long line and painful wait. There was a long line, sure, but we were finished eating/drinking by 6:30 P.M! Both got the hot chocolates we saw online lol -- Smores Hot Chocolate with whipped cream. $12.50 each and I wished I ordered 3 more cups! They did have a few other incredibly delicious sounding versions that I'd try next time just to change it up. The drink itself was super good but the toasted marshmallow rim was heavenly. So was the homemade whipped topping but I do wish they had added a graham cracker/g.c essence element. There was a small (crowded) outdoor seating area but we decided to walk a couple hundred feet down to their main location (NoGlu Bakery) where they had seating with tables as well! We were the only ones in that area and it was a lovely vibe all around. Coming for you Winter 2024, Glace!

I was worried that this place would be one of those Instagrammy places that prioritizes aesthetic over taste and functionality and yeah, I was right. Tried the s'mores frozen chocolate-- I will say the quality of the ingredients is pretty good (whipped cream was very good, chocolate was good quality) but the way everything was arranged makes it pretty difficult to eat without making a mess. Never thought I'd say this but there was too much marshmallow; I was constantly worried about it falling off the cup. Also with the whipped cream and marshmallow covering everything, it was difficult to get at the chocolate inside. Plus I like sweet things and all but this was just way too sugary for me, couldn't eat more than like a third of it before it became too much.

Glace by Noglu is a French ice cream shop in the Carnegie Hill section of Upper Eastside, Manhattan. Glace is the French word meaning ice cream, and Noglu is the bakery that previously existed before the shop was opened. Here, they have a long roster of innovative flavors and treats you can choose from. They recently went viral for their buzzworthy holiday hot chocolate flavors. How was it?: Perfect! I had the "Peppermint Hot Chocolate." A good rich chocolate flavor (not too sweet) with a warm and minty taste LOVED IT! SB: The line is long. Be prepared to wait

Yes, yes, and yes. The hype is real. The frozen hot chocolate is delish. Their s'mores special was phenomenal. Love it and will come again.

Glacé more like gross. Too sweet, very over hyped. Was disappointed and forced myself to finish it because of the price tag. Don't buy into the hype :(. Maybe the hot chocolate is better but the frozen one is a glorified milkshake...

Love the iced hot chocolate it's a hit in the summer. Small venue that just got extended. The outdoor seating feels like you're on Long Island because Madison is quiet during the summer months. Good for a sweet treat when you're in the mood for something exotic. The staff are nice and hardworking with all of the demands they receive from people that hardly get told no.

We went for the Instagram worthy hot chocolate but came out loving the ice cream! It was a 68 degree March day in NY so not a hot chocolate day but when in Rome so my husband and I split the salted caramel hot chocolate. First I will say they are very cool to see we had ours sitting on the table outside and everyone was asking. I thought the caramel probably was not the best choice as it was really sweet with the fluff and whip cream. Now for the best part. I'm GF and did not realize the entire place is GF! So to be able to eat a waffle cone and ice cream with cookies, yes I said cookies in my ice cream was just heaven!

There was a short line of less than 10 people when I got there at noon on Saturday. Most people were together in groups or couples so the line moved quick. There are sitting outside the store but none inside. There were no restrooms. They had seven flavors that varied in price, starting at $7.50. After I placed an order, I got my hot chocolates in about 10 mins. The cup size was 8oz. The base was hot chocolate...creamy but not too chocolatey. They all had marshmallow fluff which was surprisingly not too sweet. It was slightly warm from being torched. The different flavors were in the toppings. The brûlée one was my favorite! The torched sugar gave a nutty flavor and crunch. The cookies and cream one was the sweetest. It had fudge drizzled on top with half an oreo. The smores one was just top with whipped cream. I think they should've added graham crackers somewhere somehow. FYI - they had caps and spoons for grabs.

I stopped by Glace the other day after shopping in the neighborhood. It was decently crowded for a Sunday afternoon. I got the toasted almond and cookie chocolat ice creams. The toasted almond was great, with chunks of almond and sweet caramel throughout. The cookie chocolat was a nice version of cookie dough. These were both very pricey though -- $15 for a pint. I didn't try the hot chocolate, but next time!

Had to try this insta-famous hot chocolate! There was already a line at 12:10 on a Saturday, decided to take my chances and came back 30 minutes later. The line didn't seem terribly long but it was slow moving. I got on line at Zabar's entrance and it took about 25 minutes for me to get a hot chocolate. I went with the "basic" s'mores in which you just get the fluff and whipped cream for $10. All other versions are $12.50 and up and the add-ons don't really seem worth the additional cost for what you get. I thought the cream and fluff would be too much and I was right! I scooped more than half of each off. The hot chocolate is okay, nothing to brag about. Not overly sweet though. It's get cold rather quickly. It's not a large cup so it's easy to finish.

I saw this famous hot chocolate on IG so many times, I finally made the trek uptown to try it. It was a misty Saturday, so not too busy when I went around lunchtime. And it was worth it - I love a rich hot chocolate, and the charred fluff adds a wonderful caramelized creaminess. Would recommend sharing it because it's pretty rich and plenty for 2 people. Get a spoon, a straw and some napkins. I'll stop in again for ice cream next time I am in the neighborhood. There isn't much space inside the shop, but about 12 seats outside.

$15 for a hot chocolate? Sign me up! In all seriousness, glace is worth the hype but there are definitely days and times of the day that the line is shorter. I would only go during those off hours. I went on a Saturday after work with a coworker and it was 15 degrees out. Definitely do not recommend conditions like that LOL. The line was also down the block! It was moving quickly though, until they were in between batches of marshmallow. So by the time we go to the front, we were shivering and sniffling pretty bad. We both got the chocolate chip s'mores hot choco and WOW! Never have I had such a pretty and decadent treat. It was also not too sweet despite being so rich. We were lucky enough to get the last two chocolate chip s'mores, so if you're going on a weekend, consider going earlier. I do wish the hot chocolate part was a bit larger of a cup if they're going to charge such a steep price. Nevertheless, being that I work in the area, I will probably come back whenever I'm feeling a treat for myself.

I'm a simple girl- I see a viral sensation on Instagram, I go get it. It's safe to say this is one of the best hot chocolates I've ever tasted. I don't think you even need the extra toppings, but they do make for a great picture. That being said, the large cookie was a bit dry but the small cookie, caramel pieces, marshmallow, and whipped cream were all good. The hot chocolate itself was super rich, not overly sweet, and didn't taste artificial at all. My friend and I went around 12-12:30 on a Wednesday when it just opened and there was no line at all. I did originally order the Cookies & Cream and the server misheard me and gave me the Chocolate Chip S'mores, but I was interested in that one too so it was okay. Still very good! They have an assembly line system so it moves fairly quickly. There also isn't much seating other than a counter, but just down the street is Noglu's cafe with pastries and coffee where you can sit. Enjoy!

Tried the viral sensation and would say it's definitely worth the hype if there's no significant line. Waited in line on a Sunday afternoon for ~ 20 minutes. The restaurant itself is very small and could fit 10 people if we all squeeze in. The staff is kind and do take their time to make the hot chocolate. Takes ~ 10 minutes to make. You can see 2 people dedicated to making the special marshmallow fluff and pre-making it for the hot chocolate. The hot chocolate itself I would give a 4.5/5 stars. It's milky with chocolate that isn't too sweet but just the right amount. It's not too thick either. The smores marshmallow fluff had cinnamon which definitely added taste. Altogether the marshmallow and whip cream were too much that you couldn't enjoy the hot chocolate. I saw that most people didn't finish the marshmallow and threw out 50% of it. The s'mores hot chocolate was delicious with the chocolate drizzle. However similar issue with too much whip cream that didn't melt with the hot chocolate and made it difficult to enjoy/drink. Also, the hot chocolate itself was quite expensive considering the size with the smores being $10 and cookies and cream being $14.50. I'd most likely return for a regular hot chocolate without all the crazy add ons and if there's no line (which is $7.50 for the small size; no larger sizes).

I don't know how it is possible but Glace exceeded my expectations!! Let me set the scene. This place has gone incredibly viral and every time I pass by there is a line down the block and I haven't had the time to wait. Last night my friend and I decided that instead of happy hour we'd make the trek to Glace and see how the line was. We were shocked to see that at 6pm on a Thursday there was zero line (wahoo!). I think this was partially due to how cold it was outside, and the fact that the pre-christmas holiday rush is over. We each got the viral smores hot chocolate and I got mine dairy free (almond milk alternative). I was too excited to drink my hot chocolate that I didn't get any great photos but trust me. The hot chocolate was delish! The marshmallow fluff was next level and my friend shared that the whipped cream that came on top of her hot chocolate was almost better than the marshmallow! The weather was chilly but we were still able to grab one of the 4 tables out front and sit down to enjoy our hot cocoa. Long story short. I thought this place was probably over hyped, but after trying it for myself I'd wait in a 20 minute line for this! I am looking forward to trying their ice cream in the summer! Gluten free: Glace is owned by Noglu so you can be confident there is not gluten in the shop! Dairy free: There are dairy free options and they do not charge extra for almond milk. Glace really knows how to cater to allergies and restrictions so if you have any questions just ask the staff. They are incredibly helpful!

RATING (FOR THE HOT CHOCOLATE) : 8.2/10 PRO TIP: I waited maybe 15 mins online at around 2pm on a weekday. Get the peppermint one! PEPPERMINT HOT CHOC So the hot chocolate itself is sweet but not too sweet, and not too hot to drink right after getting it. It has a rich chocolate flavor but not like European hot chocolates where it's super thick, bold and intense. The rim of italian marshmallow is super interesting, and is more solid than you might anticipate, and it's hard to know how exactly to eat it with the hot choc. I'm also not a huge whipped cream person, and with the marshmallow just felt like a lot of dairy dilution the actual chocolate. Regardless, the peppermint sprinkles gave it an extra umph and the chocolate itself had peppermint flavor which was nice. Great experience. Would have again, but would wait until the hype dies so it's more accessible. Will return someday to try their ice cream, which I hear good things about. FINAL CATEGORY: GREAT (terrible / bad / ok / GREAT / excellent)

Like many others, I saw the S'mores hot chocolate on IG and decided to check it out while in town. Was almost deterred by the line, which I waited in for a good 20min or so at around 1pm on a weekday. You know it's bad when you can locate the place by the line of people waiting outside...Once inside, my order was ready in less than five minutes. The hot chocolate was nice and creamy and paired well with the fluff. There was so much fluff that I wondered when I would finally get to the chocolate! Definitely not complaining--I *love* me some toasted marshmallow. Definitely worth checking out. The line/wait time would deter me from visiting more often if I was in the area.

Tried the viral hot chocolate! The line looks longer than it is. It goes by fairly quick. When I went it was around the corner and like half way down that block and it was about 45 min wait in total. No restrooms inside or seating area but there's a seating area outside. Workers are all nice. They also sell ice cream Drinks range between $10-15. I def think it's a one time thing for the pic and the experience. If you love sweets, this place is for you. Def plenty enough to share with someone Each drink is essentially the same just diff toppings White hot chocolate brulee: the topping is delicious the marshmallow was toasted to perfections and the whip cream is so good! The drink itself was a pretty good white hot chocolate, on the sweeter side Peppermint hot chocolate: whipped cream was good , marshmallow with candy cane was good, hot chocolate was okay, had a bitter aftertaste to it Overall thought : messy, a lot of marshmallow and whipped cream and it gets very sweet, really for the pictures, it's good but a lot! I really think it's enough for share for like 3 people bc it's so sweet

I gotta say I'm so annoyed I didn't come here before they went viral and jacked the prices (as they should) because I KNEW ABOUT THEM and I'm a huge hot chocolate fan and critic BUT NOOOO I DIDNT LISTEN TO MY GUT and I slept on them. Then before you know it, they went viral and had hours long lines. I only ended up making the effort to come AFTER their hot chocolate menu retired and decided it was time I get my act together to try the limited edition tiramisu frozen drink. I came by on a Saturday about twenty min before opening out of fear there would be a long line because of the limited time collab but people didn't start showing up until about five or so minutes before opening and even then the line behind us was only about five people long. Everything was out pretty quickly and was so happy to see there was seating outside to sit and enjoy our drinks. The employees were also really nice and thanked us for waiting. We got the limited time special that was a tiramisu frozen hot chocolate and the summer menu glacier which is a frozen hot chocolate with a chocolate shell. Now this place's owners are masterminds. Their ideas are absolutely genius and I totally get why they've had people by the throat for months since they launched their hot chocolate and I'm so glad that they adapted to summer by making a frozen hot chocolate. As for taste, honestly, not the most impressed or wowed but was happy to have tried it all. I think the best part of the tiramisu flavor was the marscapone whipped cream which really had that taste of marscapone. The frozen coffee however I found to be gross but that could just be me being a coffee hater, though I've definitely had frozen coffee that I've enjoyed so take that as you will. The reason why I wasn't wowed was because the frozen hot chocolate, the most important thing being served here, just tasted like a very standard basic childhood hot chocolate served cold. Maybe the frozen part of it diminished the taste of the chocolate but it was just okay. The chocolate shell was good though, a deeper richer taste to it which I liked a lot. I'm definitely going to come back in the winter to try their hot flavors. I think in "hot" form I might enjoy it alot more!

Okay this was an insta hype, the presentation is great but I cannot handle this much sugar! And I'm usually the first to opt into the Keebler elf diet, so if I found it to be too much that's saying a lot. I felt sick after I finished my cocoa. Positives: I tasted the hot chocolates by themselves, they are great without the toppings and marshmallow whip. A little thin on the consistency I prefer thicker cocoa... I love both dark chocolate and white chocolate cocoa and I found this to be better than max brenner's but not as good as LA Burdick or Vesuvio in SoHo. Negatives: The toppings are not well considered for their sugar balance against the base and it's overwhelming, if there was better counterweights (spices or darker chocolate) to anchor the torched whip and other toppings I'd be down for it all. Not worth the line up.

It was my first time here and I mostly came here because of constantly seeing this place on TikTok and honestly I really liked it but price wise it is a little expensive :( I would definitely recommend sharing one as it is really sweet. The people working inside were really nice and even offered my friend some water as she was hot from the hot weather outside. I would recommend this to someone if you have a big sweet tooth! But if you aren't the biggest fan of sweets maybe best to share with someone !

GLACÉ WAS INCREDIBLE. I have nothing but positive feedback to share. Nestled in the Upper East Side, Glacé focuses on creating a delicious hot chocolate experience for all palates. They even had a matcha (white chocolate) special when I was there back in February. They also have a bunch of add ons that create a decadent and unique experience. I highly recommend the toasted marshmallow rim and that's coming from someone that doesn't typically enjoy marshmallow! The two workers were extremely attentive and helpful and there's plenty of seating outside both enclosed and open air. Definitely check this place out.

I am a big fan of their ice cream. It is absolutely delicious, well balanced and flavorful. I've unfortunately sampled their hot chocolate but I hear it's worth the cost. Gluten free and vegan options are an added bonus as nearly everyone can enjoy. The shop is bright but small with limited seating, they have an outside patio for nice weather days.

The only thing I enjoy about winter is the availability of creative hot chocolate variations throughout New York City, so I made a trip to try this viral hot chocolate, and I'm so glad I did! The first thing you'll notice is the line; they have a pretty efficient assembly line, so it's not as bad as you would think and goes by pretty fast. That said, it took us 37 minutes, so I wouldn't recommend waiting in bad weather. I had the salted caramel hot chocolate, and my brother had the s'mores hot chocolate. The only difference seemed to be the addition of a caramel swirl on top for an additional $2.50, but otherwise, it's prepared the same. This hot chocolate is definitely for milk chocolate lovers, so if you're looking for a rich sipping chocolate, this isn't it. The hot chocolate is sweet and delicious, not overbearingly sweet or chocolatey, with a bruléed fluff rim and a scoop of fresh whipped cream. I would recommend eating it with a spoon so you can mix everything together, as the flavors combine very well. The cup is on the small side, so don't shy away from this treat; it's not as intimidating as it seems. Plus, they offer plant-based milk options, making it inclusive for everyone. This was my favorite hot chocolate of the season by far. They've added some additional flavors since my last visit, so I cannot wait for the weather to warm up so I can go back for more!

Of course while I was in town, I had to get the viral hot chocolate, and my expectations were far exceeded! I got the salted caramel flavor and I am thoroughly impressed with the genius behind this creation. On a cold, winter New York day, the cup was a warm hug in a cup. The toasted marshmallow rim was not only scrumptious, but allowed the steaming liquid from dripping out of the cup. The homemade whipped cream on top offered a nice cooling contrast after a sip. The chocolate itself is memorably smooth and velvety. This place is definitely worth a trip if you're in the city.

Better late than never! So happy I got to try their viral hot chocolates! They have so many hot chocolate (and ice cream) options that it was so hard to pick just one to try. I eventually went with the Chocolate Chip S'mores, which featured their hot chocolate with a scoop of cream and a salted chocolate chip cookie on top of a rim of toasted marshmallow. -Chocolate chip: Enjoyed the chunks of chocolate. It was a little on the saltier side but the salinity helped balance the sweetness of the other components. The edges were crispy and middle was more chewy. -Cream: Smooth and not too sweet (compared to other components) -Marshmallow: The toasted bits were yum and almost had a spiced/cinnamon-y flavor? -Hot chocolate: Definitely chocolate-y but a little too sweet for my liking. Consistently was more on the watery side which I think is appropriate in the context the addition of other toppings/ingredients. I'd imagine if it was more thick/rich it would be overwhelming. The staff member making my drink was very friendly and nice, but the cashier was a little impatient. One drink is about $13-15. Overall, I don't think any particular part blew me away; however I liked how someone put all these sweets together to create a decadent dessert experience. Definitely worth trying at least once! I also really want to go back to try their ice creams since they had some very interesting flavors like tahini honeycomb and white chocolate pistachio.

Decided to give the viral hot chocolates a try. I thought the salted caramel hot chocolate was great, and the chocolate sundae was really rich. I'm glad I tried, but probably wouldn't get it again as it was pretty pricey.
