There are plenty of ways to experience Jacques Torres Chocolate. Looking at ratings and reviews previously given by customers, these are the best tours available right now:

That depends. The Jacques Torres Chocolate flagship store in Dumbo is free to visit, and prices vary if you want to buy goodies like its famous hot chocolate, brownies, or chocolate bars. Expect to pay around US$42 per person for a shared walking tour through Dumbo, which includes a visit to the renowned chocolatier.

The man behind the shop is Jacques Torres, a renowned chocolatier and pastry chef originally from France, now based in New York. He is a judge on the hit Netflix show Nailed It! His Dumbo shop is known for its freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, seasonal specialties like chocolate Easter bunnies, and an array of truffles and boxed chocolates.

Avoid weekends, when Dumbo’s narrow streets fill up with crowds and Jacques Torres Chocolate is at its busiest. Your best options for a quieter experience are to aim for a weekday morning right at opening hours. Jacques Torres Chocolate is open from 10am until 7pm year-round, seven days a week.

Yes, Jacques Torres Chocolate is a great option for families traveling with children; what kid can resist chocolate? However, it’s a good idea to set limits once inside (for example, one goodie per person), as there’s a lot to choose from, and children might be tempted to want one of everything.

No, luckily for anyone who stumbles upon this location, no reservations are needed to visit the flagship Jacques Torres Chocolate shop (or the smaller boutique within Grand Central Station). Simply show up when it's open and head inside. You can also buy chocolates and other sweet treats online, including the official Nailed It! cookbook with baking challenges.
