Had hazelnut flavoured milk chocolate and pistachio flavoured dark chocolate here. Also had a hot chocolate here. The taste of the chocolate matches with the advertised one of the ten spots for best chocolates in the world.
We were looking for a dessert and checked on google to see what was around when we stumbled upon Jacques Torres on the Upper West Side. Jacques Torres is not unknown to me as I tried his chocolate many times and even went to his chocolate factory downtown many years ago, but I do not recall having tried his hot chocolate. So, it was time to change that and that was like a revelation: his hot chocolate is the best in the city! People rave about City Bakery's hot chocolate, but I admit that I do not like it. This one, at Jacques Torres is something else: it is like melted chocolate, but without being too sweet or too bitter; yes, it is a perfect balance that makes me want to have such a place next door.

Jacques Torres is known as Mr. Chocolate and has earned that title over the years. His shop on the Upper West Side is really adorable and inside you will find some of the BEST chocolate in the world!! In the warmer months, he even has homemade ice cream to all visitors delight!! You can also find here chocolate covered cheerios and corn flakes. Yes, you read this correctly. Yes, they are pretty amazing and would make great gifts to bring back home. He even ships them to you from his website. Happy Day!! The inside decor is really lovely, very elegant. The chocolate deserves to be in such a setting. How can you choose just one item here? Pretty hard, which is why you need to come back more than once. His cookies are out-of-this-world. You can purchase his chocolate to add to your own cookie recipe and make it sublime.
