Cafe Chocolat, 5 Towns
Tucked into the vibrant kosher hub of Central Avenue in Cedarhurst, New York, Cafe Chocolat offers a haven for anyone seeking a sophisticated and indulgent Chanukah (or everyday) treat. This charming café is a sweet oasis, known for its artisanal chocolates, gourmet pastries, and a variety of coffee beverages made with high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re stopping in for a morning coffee, an afternoon treat, or a Motzei Shabbat pick-me-up, Cafe Chocolat offers a kosher Cholov Yisroel menu that aims to please.
One of Cafe Chocolat’s cornerstones is its expertly crafted coffee menu. Using rich, flavorful beans sourced from top-quality producers, the café offers a selection of beverages, from creamy lattes to strong, aromatic espressos. Their house specialties include indulgent creations like the “Heaven in a Cup” shake, a decadent blend of chocolate and coffee flavors. For those who prefer tea, the menu also includes a variety of herbal and classic brews to suit all tastes. The focus on freshness and flavor is evident in every sip, making this café a go-to spot for coffee aficionados.
As the name suggests, Cafe Chocolat excels at the art of chocolate-making. Their handcrafted chocolates, truffles, and dipped treats are nothing short of divine, and earlier this year they made their own version of the Dubai chocolate bar. Each piece is created with meticulous attention to detail, using premium ingredients that deliver a velvety texture and rich, satisfying flavors. The cafe’s chocolates also serve as a great Chanukah gift for the chocolate lovers in your life.
While the coffee and chocolates are stars in their own right, one secret of the success of Cafe Chocolat lies in its specialty handmade pastries. During the end of year holiday season, Cafe Chocolat’s reputation reaches new heights with its legendary Chanukah cronuts, my personal favorite pastry every year.
These handmade delights are a testament to the café’s dedication to flavor, creativity, and tradition. A Chanukah cronut is no ordinary pastry—it’s a celebration in every bite. The flaky layers of the croissant-doughnut hybrid are fried to perfection, then filled with homemade berry jams, luscious ganache, or velvety creams. Each flavor is designed to evoke the warmth and festivity of the holiday, making them a must-have for anyone celebrating Chanukah—or anyone who simply loves a unique dessert experience.
The cronuts are as much a visual treat as they are a culinary one. Topped with edible decorations like powdered sugar, shimmering sprinkles, or delicate chocolate drizzle, they are works of edible art.
Cafe Chocolat is more than just a café; it’s a community gathering place. Locals and visitors alike are drawn to its welcoming atmosphere, where the friendly staff and cozy décor make every visit a memorable one. Whether you’re seated inside the charming café or enjoying your treats to-go, the experience feels personal and thoughtfully curated.
Located at 556 Central Avenue in Cedarhurst, Cafe Chocolat is open six days a week, with special Saturday night hours during the winter months. Their flexible schedule accommodates the needs of the local community, while their commitment to quality and innovation ensures that every visit feels special.
Whether you’re savoring a cup of strong coffee, indulging in handcrafted chocolates, or treating yourself to one of their signature Chanukah cronuts, Cafe Chocolat is a destination worth visiting. As the holidays approach, don’t miss the chance to taste these once-a-year delights—because at Cafe Chocolat, every bite is a celebration.
