JoMart Chocolates

I have visited here a few times with my mother and my grandmother because they melt the chocolate to make chocolate lollipops for Christmas eve and a few other family dinners. They’re chocolate is hands down the best in New York. I can’t get enough of it. I’m the guy that cracks the bag open a little bit and sneaks chocolate before we even get it home. It’s well worth getting a stomach ache from eating so much of it lol. First impression walking in is how beautiful it looks.
I love to cook and bake. Just taking a look around the store is fascinating. There’s a lot of baking equipment to choose from. For a store that’s not too big, They have such a wide selection of stuff to choose from. The thing that’s better than all the baking equipment, Is the chocolate. We usually buy just the plain white and milk chocolate discs to take home and melt. They also have the chocolate covered treats.
The chocolate covered M&M Pretzels! My Lord they are amazing. The other thing are the chocolate covered marshmallows! I don’t even like marshmallows, But I could eat a million of these. We go to JoMart every year at least a few times a year. One day I will be taking my children to buy chocolate here.
They also do chocolate replicas of things, Which I didn’t know. I just saw below my review the chocolate PS3 controller. That’s amazing. I’m definitely going to get something replicated in chocolate one of these days. Then, I will destroy it, With my mouth!

By far the best chocolate I’ve had, and it’s right in Brooklyn, what could be better.
My personal favorites are the chocolate covered m&m pretzels and the chocolate covered marshmallows.
Definitely worth stopping by if you have a sweet tooth and are in the area.

This is strictly a review for their chocolate candy. This evening I attended another wonderful event at the Powerhouse Arena — to celebrate the publication of a book — and since the book consists of many photos & interviews with Brooklyn food & drink makers, several of them were on hand to serve some of their products. One of those was JoMart Chocolates (I think it was «Michael», who another reviewer mentioned). Anyway; their chocolates are *great*! He (Michael-​?) told me they’ve been in business — at the same location — since 1959. It turns out that I had cousins who lived right around the corner from the store and I visited them many times during the 60’s & 70’s, so I might well have gone to the store long ago. Regardless, those were the best chocolates I’ve tasted in quite awhile.

Great place to buy baking supplies at such a great price. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The chocolates look, smell and taste divine.
Also, they have a rewards card where you accumulate points with every purchase and the points are redeemable for prizes, such as their amazing chocolate.

found a box that of chocolates that my niece left in my refrig and decided to give them a try. It was the best butternut creation I’ve ever had, it was so amazing. Luckily under the box was a still the packaging sticker so now I know where it came from.

It’s a terrific local business that cares about the community. AND OF COURSE, they make delicious treats! Bonus: they sell cake making supplies.

their sugar free selections are all scrumptious, delectable
and outstanding.

I am always very impressed by the service at JoMart. Although they are not the cheapest, they really do have great quality chocolates. I’m always excited to have the m&m pretzels. Mmmm. The whole family is very excited to get chocolates from JoMart, and so are the workers at school.
I usually don’t like writing reviews, but after seeing good customer service, I feel that it is important to share. Especially from and mom and pop business. Today is mothers day and a little boy walked in to buy chocolates for his mom. Its very overwhelming, because they have such an amazing selection. (Even I stood on the side not knowing what to buy). Not only was the woman very nice to him and patient and tried to help him find the right chocolates, but by the end of the experience the boy was very proud of the chocolates he had picked out for his mom. When it came to the bill, he was almost $ 2 short. I immediately went to my pocket because I felt like I couldn’t let the boy take less chocolate for his mom, and I didn’t want him to go home empty handed. Before I could even offer to pay for it, the owner told him to bring the money to him when he can. It really put a smile on my face, that the boy could leave there with his selection and not have to worry that he would need to ask his parents for money. He could just stop by when he had the money.

I have to honestly admit that they had a lot of supplies there, not all what I wanted but they have a good selection. on the other hand there’s this older lady and I don’t know who she is related to but she has to be related to someone to have such a bad attitude and still have a job there. she was rude to every customer that came in. She asked 1 customer that was on line and I quote «what are you still here for». because of her attitude I will never ever shop there again!

My new friend Michael takes such good care of me. And he makes the most incredible chocolate and candy treats I’ve ever had. I am a marshmallow snob and Jomart’s marshmallows are the best in the whole wide world! If you’re in Brooklyn go see my friend Michael what Avenue are and save up a few calories so that you can splurge on what we call the good stuff!
PS his other sweets are quite spectacular in their own right so try them all !!

I arrived in Sheepshead Bay at JoMart Chocolates, one of the oldest chocolate shops in Brooklyn. If you’re easily overwhelmed, you may have to take a deep breath and exhale before walking in because the shop offers loads of options from hand dipped treats to truffles to chocolate coated marshmallows.
I chose a few pieces to take back, but was told that they’re best known for their marshmallows. So, I chose the Peanut Butter S’Mores Marshmallow, which, sounded like the best thing ever.
Unfortunately, the mark fell a little short on this guy. This was a marshmallow cloaked in milk chocolate, with a layer of peanut butter and graham cracker. The chocolate and the marshmallow were pretty good, but, I really would have loved for there to be more of a presence from the peanut butter, it didn’t really stand out enough to me. Also, the graham cracker was a bit bland and didn’t have the crispness that makes me think of a real s’more.
But, I was given a bonus chocolate that totally made up for the other piece. It was a milk chocolate skeleton, painted with dark and white chocolate, and filled with dark chocolate pumpkin truffle. The pumpkin notes really came through in this chocolate and the truffle was rich and creamy. Happy Halloween.

I’d heard about JoMart from BayFest in Sheepshead Bay because they donated a gift certificate to the raffle the past couple of years, but had never actually tried their product. Just got one of their Cranberry Nut chocolate bars in my Valentine’s Day basket, though, and WOW! Sooooooooooooooo amazing!!! I’ll definitely stop in there for more very soon!!!

omg heaven. pure heaven.
the sea salt choc covered pretzels are so good, and the chocolate covered pretzel rods come in many yummy varietys, the nutty one is my favorite, everything is fresh handipped. beats fondue anyday! pound of pretzels is 27 bucks, half pound for 13.50

I’m so used to Jo Mart’s presence in the neighborhood that I don’t think of it as special. But I just saw Jo Mart exhibiting at the Brooklyn Eats fancy food show today along with a bunch of full-​of-​themselves, made-​in-​Brooklyn, expensive chocolate makers. I tasted them all (dark only, vegan) and Jo Mart is just as good as them all and better than most. If you’re in southern Brooklyn there’s no need to wish you lived in Park Slope or Williamsburg for great chocolate made by real, nice, Brooklyn people. The store is beautiful and has so much variety too.

Ordered here about two dozen times. I kept saying I would write a review for this place. Candy is a delightful joy. Prices aren’t bad at all. Makes a wonderful gift for all occasions.

simply the best!!! forget the French guy in the overpriced hood! this is the real deal the dark chocolate is fantastic. You have to try the Brooklyn Chunky it’s Jo Marts version of a Chunky bar. I am not sure how long they have been here but support them it is better than the fancy schmancy chocolates that have become so popular.

A gem of a chocolate shop in a neighborhood most Brooklyn hipsters won’t even know exists. Jomart has been making specialty chocolates for over 40 years in the same location. It’s a family-​owned store with chocolates, candies, jelly beans, bon-​bons, cake decorating materials, and party accessories. I bought my sweet sixteen favors here – chocolate rose lollipops. I most recently bought an assortment box of their homemade specialty marshmallows. They’re a great institution in Brooklyn, and my go-​to chocolatier for gifts and parties.

This is a crazy good baking and candy making supply store stocking everything from flavor oils for candy and chocolate to great candy and chocolate molds and baking pans. They also offer chocolate and candy lessons to those interested. Their already prepared chocolates are also delicious.

This is our go to gift shop. Who doesn’t like hand crafted high quality chocolates. If you don’t you are not a friend or family! Pick up a card in their card shop and you are good to go. As for the price … go to one of NYCs fancy schmancy chocolatiers and you’ll pay more for maybe not much better quality. Here, you get great quality for a good price. The staff for the most part seem like the kind of happy folks you’d expect working around chocolate all day long. Life is better with chocolate is their slogan. There is one exception in the shop but hey this is Brooklyn. If you can’t deal with a little tude go someplace else :)

Dear fellow bakers, cakers, and cupcake top makers of south Brooklyn,
You know how whenever you start a baking project, there’s always that one baking ingredient, tool, or obscure item that you need, but can’t find ANYWHERE? You spend hours searching places like Target and Key Food in vain, then resort to browsing online for stores that have exactly what you need, but slowly realize that the shipping times would screw over your party or project deadline. You silently curse to yourself as you sigh at the injustice, and proceed to try brainstorming ways you can kludge or jury rig your creation without the supply you need. Sound familiar?
Yeah. Stop it. Go to JoMart.
The place is divided into three main rooms.
The middle room where you enter is filled with handmade chocolates, truffles, and all kinds of yummy, chocolatey goodies. You can buy stuff in pre-​packaged gift boxes, or choose your own combination of pieces per your tastes. The store smells HEAVENLY, and you will likely not be able to leave without buying *something*. And trust me, it will be worth it. They even have these amazing liquour truffles that you MUST try. If you need to bring something to a party or gathering and feel like a bottle of wine is too much or not quite right for the occassion, go with chocolate. Everyone likes chocolate. (And if they don’t they clearly have problems.)
The room to the left is full of cards and non-​edible gifty things, if you happen to need something Hallmark-​ish to go with your chocolates.
The room to the right is a local chocolatier and cake artist’s wet dream. It’s not too big a space, but there are sooooo many baking supplies somehow packed into the area that it’s rather overwhelming to behold at first. Shelves of rolled fondant and fondant supplies, icing and candy writers, dyes, sugar sheets, cookie cutters of all shapes and sizes, sprinkles, sparkles, edible pearls and glitter, countless chocolate/​candy molds, and a ton of other obscure supplies that you won’t find in any local supermarket. If you need it, it’s probably here. And if it’s not, I bet they’ll be able to tell you exactly where to get it.
The staff here is really nice, too. They’ll take the time to explain their products, and help you make decisions about gifts, as well give advice about any projects you might be doing. Their own factory area is right in the back of the store, so you know everyone’s got some experience with what they’re talking about.
The downside to the amazing quality and convenience however, is the price. Shopping here does take a bite out of your wallet, but considering all their chocolate is hand made and their supply inventory is phenomenal and ridiculously convenient, I’m willing to shell out what I need for what I get in return (provided I don’t do it too often at least). Definitely not the place for «just a snack» when you’re walking by and on a budget, but keep them bookmarked for a visit when you want to try something really special.
Or when you need that elusive, last minute, weird silicone cupcake pan or fondant mat. You know, the important stuff.
