Nunu's Chocolate Dreams Come True

When I first met Justine Pringle of Nunu Chocolates she was working in midtown with dreams of becoming a full-time chocolate maker. We would wait in the lobby of her building as she snuck downstairs with a bag of delicately handcrafted caramels for our chocolate box. I remember the day she told me she was quitting it all to focus on her salt-topped treats. She took a big leap and was instantly recognized by national food publications from Gourmet to The New York Times.

Now you can watch her chocolate making in action at the Nunu Chocolates Retail Store & Cafe. The space serves as a chocolate factory for Justine and the open layout allows customers to watch her technique. The store is located at 529 Atlantic Ave between 3rd and 4th Aves in Brooklyn. They are open everyday from 9am-9pm. Just imagine, stopping in on the way to work and grabbing some Espresso Brandy ganache made with Crop to Cup espresso beans and a coffee to go. Swing by mid-day for tea time accompanied with some Earl Grey Ganache. You'll be sure to catch me there some evening soon sipping red wine and eating Mezcal Chili chocolates.
