A CAFÉ IN THE CITY

For the beloved Chocolate Cortés family and brand, growing cacao and manufacturing chocolate from farm-to-bar since 1929 across Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, a second outpost of the Chocobar Cortés café and restaurant on new but familiar shores of New York City.



The design embraces the warmth of the Caribbean and recognizable textures, colors, and patterns of the Viejo San Juan neighborhood of the original location. Imbuing this Caribbean spirit into the design, with also the vibrant and artistic spirit of the neighborhood in the Bronx, the interiors of the restaurant establish Chocobar Cortés as a joyful celebration of culture, chocolate, and community.
