Chococo UES

Chococo UES occupies a footnote in the Upper East Side’s culinary cartography, a chocolate cafe tucked between the brownstones. East 68th and Third Avenue place it on the quieter stretch of 3rd Ave, where storefronts give way to cafés that anchor the block’s rhythm rather than shout about it. Chocolate cafés thrive on tasting flights and single-origin bars that double as desserts; here the format feels unhurried yet purposeful, a counterpoint to the avenue’s busier intersections.

Six days a week the doors open for counter service, gift boxes, and same-day delivery within a two-mile radius (shipping further afield, naturally). Need help mapping the route? A quick link shows the doorstep. Questions or to place an order, dial (646) 644-2696; the voice on the line confirms only what’s listed, no extras.
