What Is Cocoa Store (cocoastore.com)?

Updated

Cocoa Store is an online artisanal chocolate retailer that carries bars, boxed chocolates, chocolate-covered fruit and nuts, and drinking chocolate from dozens of makers around the world. It also operates a physical shop in New York City and lists chocolate tastings among its services. If you are looking for single-origin or craft chocolate from named makers rather than mass-market candy, this is the kind of site worth browsing; if you need everyday supermarket chocolate or same-day local delivery outside New York, it is probably not the right fit.

What the site sells

The catalog is organized into a few main categories, visible in the site navigation:

  • Bars — split into All Bars, All Dark Chocolate, 100% Chocolate Bars, >80% Chocolate Bars, White Chocolate Bars, Milk Chocolate Bars, Alternative Milks and Sugars, and Inclusion Chocolate Bars.
  • Boxed Chocolate — including items such as a Ruket "Marco Gruppioni" Crema di Nocciola hazelnut spread (190g) at $20.00 and Vestri candied orange slices or peels covered in dark chocolate at $27.00.
  • Chocolate Covered Fruit and Nuts
  • Drinking Chocolate
  • Seasonal Gifts, Makers, Chocolate Tastings, and Corporate sections

There is also a New Cocoa and Sale area. One example from the sale listing: Domori Roasted Cacao Beans (Exp. 8/31/26) at $25.00, reduced from $35.00.

The maker lineup

The "Featured Collections" and "Shop by Brands" lists are the clearest signal of what the store is about. It aggregates independent and specialty chocolate makers rather than selling a single house brand. Named makers include:

Argencove, Bonnat, Cacaoteca, Castronovo, Christopher Elbow, chocoMe Atelier, Chocomotions, Dandelion Chocolate, Diego's Chocolate, Domori, Éclat, Eigen, Goodnow Farms, Guido Castagna, Guido Gobino, Idilio, Jangala, Kad Kokoa, Kasama, Krak, Lydgate Farms, Michel Cluizel, Milla, Milz Chocolat, Orfeve, Owen Camille, Puchero, Recchiuti Confections, Ruket, Sierra Sagrada, Sleep Walk Chocolateria, Soma, Svenska Kakao, Ura Chocolates, Valley Isle Chocolate, and Vestri.

Collection sizes vary widely — Soma shows 72 items, Bonnat 37, Goodnow Farms 30, while Éclat shows 1. That spread is useful if you already know which makers you want and want to see how deep the selection goes per brand.

Prices and shipping signals

The page shows individual product prices in USD (for example, $17.00–$17.50 for several 70% dark chocolate bars from Orfeve and Domori). It also states free shipping on orders over $60, and offers currency switching between USD, GBP, and EUR.

Two things the page does not establish: whether any items ship free below that threshold, and whether an account is required to check out. Sign-in is offered, but that alone does not confirm it is mandatory. Treat both as unconfirmed until you reach checkout.

The New York store

The site lists a physical location:

  • Address: 873 Broadway (between 18th and 19th), #612, New York, New York 10003
  • Hours: Monday–Saturday 11:30am–6:30pm; Sunday 11:30am–6:00pm

So the business is not online-only — you can visit in person, which matters if you want to taste before buying or avoid shipping.

Other services and policies

Beyond retail, the navigation points to Chocolate Tastings, Corporate (likely gifting or bulk orders), Wholesale, Returns, Shipping, and Contact Us pages. These are listed as available sections; the specific terms behind each are not detailed on the page captured here, so check the individual pages if returns or wholesale terms matter to your decision.

Who this is for

  • Good fit: buyers seeking craft or single-origin bars from specific international makers, gift boxes, or drinking chocolate, and anyone in New York who wants to shop in person or attend a tasting.
  • Weaker fit: shoppers who want the lowest price per gram, need a wide mainstream candy selection, or require delivery details confirmed before ordering — those specifics are not established by the page content.

If you already have a maker in mind, the brand list is the fastest way in. If you are exploring, the Bars and Boxed Chocolate categories plus the Sale section give you the clearest starting points.
