5th Ave packs a pleasant surprise within the Henri Bendel store.

Chocolate Bar has a rather discrete presence within the atrium of the luxury store.

And I’m not sure my son and I would have ever known it was there if we had not visited the West Village Chocolate Bar a couple of weeks ago and then checked out their website.

It is tucked away in the store, but the real treat is the single table they have in a huge mezzanine bay window that almost hangs over 5th Avenue from above.

There was no one at all on the mezzanine, so I had to ask if it was a part of Chocolate Bar.

Definitely a treat. Since I had already tried their espresso at the West Village location, the hot chocolate was the choice for the afternoon.

The hot chocolate (prepped with milk, not water) and that view make Chocolate Bar on 5th Ave worth a visit. Just check out the video for yourself.
