"This Soho spot serves high-quality drinking chocolate that has a thick, velvety, and almost buttery quality to it. It comes in a baby cup, and the entire space looks like The Christmas Carol blew up inside of a boutique. You’ll walk through the space all the way to the back where you can order hot chocolate in their small cafe. If you’re nice, they usually offer a free sample." - will hartman, carina finn koeppicus, nikko duren, bryan kim
"This cafe is in the back of one of Soho’s fanciest chocolate shops and serves a pretty solid afternoon tea for $70 per person. You can switch between unlimited coffee or tea throughout service, and we suggest starting with a dark chocolate mochachino before moving on to a pot of chocolate rose black tea. As part of your set, you’ll get a seasonal soup served in a tiny silver cup, an array of finger sandwiches, excellent scones with clotted cream, two jams served in tiny crystal goblets, and some solid desserts. Tea is served all day, every day, and you don’t need a reservation." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
"Mariebelle, the Soho chocolate shop, has hot chocolates for every season and flavor preference. Served in the Parisian-inspired tea room or to-go in small 4 oz. or 8 oz. options, hot chocolate fans can try the thick 60 percent dark (with and without sugar) and milk chocolate varieties. Or opt for the spicy dark hot chocolate, with ancho chile and chipotle. Mariebelle also carries the less common white chocolate drink with vanilla, not for the faint of heart." - John Tsung

"This cozy cafe tucked in the back of one of Soho’s fanciest chocolate shops makes a pretty solid afternoon tea, and at $70pp, it’s one of the more affordable options in Manhattan. You can switch between unlimited coffee or tea throughout service, and we love to start with a dark chocolate mochachino before switching to a pot of chocolate rose black tea. As part of your set, you’ll get a seasonal soup served in an extremely cute tiny silver cup, an array of pretty good finger sandwiches, excellent scones with clotted cream and two jams served in tiny crystal jam goblets, and some solid desserts. Tea is served all day, every day, and you don’t need a reservation." - Carina Finn
