Valentine's Day wouldn't be complete without (at least two trips to) MarieBelle in Soho, one of Jane’s very favorite chocolate collections. Located on Broome Street between Wooster and West Broadway, MarieBelle's stunning windows instantly beckon one inside to discover the sweet indulgences within...
From the moment you step into this stylish Soho chocolate boutique, you are at once surrounded by the divine aroma of chocolate, gorgeous gift displays and stunning antiques.
Here are our recommendations for Valentine’s Day with MarieBelle. Enjoy!
MarieBelle Part I
The first visit, prior to Valentine’s Day, is to sample and select the perfect sweet indulgence for your valentine. Fair warning - there is a very good chance you will be tempted to indulge yourself as well.
Ensconced behind a beautiful antique counter, rests MarieBelle’s signature collection of artistic chocolate ganaches. Each petite chocolate square features a miniature painting created by artisanal culinary artists; each design telling its own story paired with its own unique flavor. Chocolates almost too beautiful to taste. Select this lovely link and leisurely scroll through MarieBelle's chocolate story to view these incredibly stylish chocolates.

As you wander through the boutique, you discover more and more enchanting chocolate treasures with no shortage of eye candy. We recommend something from the limited edition Valentine's Collection for your sweet tooth.
Oops, sweetheart! Definitely sweetheart.
And maybe a stylish tin of Aztec Hot Chocolate...
And before we forget, maybe just one (or two) of the beautiful Chocolate Pin-up Bars…
MarieBelle Part II
The second trip is for your Valentine’s Day Date at the Cacao Bar. Nestled amongst delicately glittering chandeliers and beautiful antiques, the Cacao Bar features endless delights ranging from MarieBelle’s extraordinary Aztec Hot Chocolate to their signature chocolates and desserts.
And lastly, as you are leaving the chocolate boutique, there is a very good chance that you won’t be able to leave empty handed…especially when you realize that you haven’t sampled the Caramel Collection...
Happy Valentine's Day.
