ROYCE' Chocolate at Bryant Park in New York City

A friend brought me here for my first time in NYC. Really nice boutique chocolate shop that specializing in chocolate from Japan. They infuse all sorts of flavors and the one I tried was Oolong- it was delicious and creamy. The staff were friendly and they had samples out which was nice. It’s a small, very straightforward niche kind of place if you like gourmet chocolate. It is pricier but definitely worth it if you like high quality made chocolates.

The associates at the store are great, friendly and helpful and quick to assist! Their chocolate is amazing! The taste is great, silky and smooth. They have variations for what suits your fancy even though I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate, i sampled their Ghana bitter and it was delicious! But their mild milk chocolate is where they shine, soooo good. And they makes for wonderful gifts.

*I was able to experience ROYCE as part of a Yelp event and this review is based off of that experience. * I had a really great experience at ROYCE a few days ago! It was a little hidden so just pay attention to where you are at so you don’t miss it! The girl who worked with me was super friendly and explained all about their chocolates. I got to sample 3 kinds (a matcha, milk, and dark) of chocolates. Honestly, I usually hate dark chocolate but this was one was really good! The milk was still definitely my favorite but I was surprised with how much I liked the dark. The chocolate was served cold and it was so creamy. I was also given a gift bag with chocolate to take home which was so nice. They also had other items for sale like chocolate covered chips, and cookies. Unfortunately I was on my way to another event and it was a really hot day so I wasn’t able to grab anything extra but I will definitely be back to get something!

From the moment I walked in, this was an incredible experience. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable, and they gave us several quite large samples of chocolates to try. They are special chocolate is made with milk from Hokkaido, Japan. It’s incredibly soft, anything, requiring refrigeration her, but Doray, if you purchase this chocolate, they will give you a complementary, special bag to keep it refrigerated. We got to try a macho, white chocolate, a milk, chocolate with champagne, and 62% dark chocolate. Let me preface this by saying those three samples were easily the best chocolate pieces I’ve ever had. This store is the real deal, and yes, while their price is a little expensive, it is completely worth it. Overall, this is an absolute must if you want to have an incredible chocolate experience.

I had a good experience here today and wanted to write a review. Even though it was sold out what I wanted but the staffs were very nice and helpful. Especially a male staff, he’s kind to me until end and he asked me if I want a wrapping and a card. I would like to come back again. Thank you very much! :)

It's been a while I went to Bryant Park & was little difficult finding the place. Altho my son always saying I am so bad at directions lol..! But the long commute & finding the time to visit this place was an amazing experience! Thank you so much for organizing this event & inviting ME . And thank you Royce for your warm welcome & hospitality! What a delight was it to visit Royce today. I get to sample 3 of their Nama chocolate . My most fav was the dark chocolate, second favorite was the Mocha one; yum! I did asked her about the quantity of alcohol portion in their chocolates & get to know it's 1% , so as per my knowledge it's ok for me to eat. That was such a great thing to know. Beautiful girl named Aria was so nice & patient answering all my curiosity I might say! She was so knowledgeable & respectful ! I ended up learning so much about chocolates lol! I will surely be back ! I have also learned that their are some chocolates which needs to be refrigerated because they loose the texture in hot weather. So if you live far like me & have a long commute then buy accordingly! And yes you guys know me, have to take some pictures for the memories!

Two words: nama chocolate. This refrigerated chocolate tastes like the inside of a chocolate truffle. A few years ago, I had their cherry blossom nama chocolate which was a beautiful light pink white chocolate base. I didn't see it during my recent visits but you can't go wrong with any nama chocolate, but I highly recommend the matcha and bitters kinds. Not cheap by any means, but well worth it for a premium chocolate experience unlike anything else I’ve tried.

Disappointing to find Royce uses artificial flavors - and also to find old chocolates in the father's day tasting box. The actual shop itself is beautiful, though there are only stairs to get inside - very difficult with a stroller. Staff are friendly.
