Chocolàt in the Community
Chocolàt Restaurant & Bar: Serving Harlem Beyond the Plate
At the heart of Harlem, Chocolàt Restaurant & Bar is more than a place to dine — it’s a place of care, connection, and community. Under the leadership of Leon Ellis, Chocolàt has long been committed to showing up for Harlem in meaningful ways, especially through its ongoing work with Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement (HCCI) and other local organizations throughout the neighborhood.
From providing hot, nourishing meals to seniors and families in need, to supporting faith-based and grassroots initiatives, Leon and the Chocolàt team believe that food is just the beginning. Their mission extends beyond the kitchen — offering dignity, consistency, and a welcoming space where community members feel seen and supported.
Located at 2223 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Chocolàt has become a place many call home — a safe haven where meals are shared, conversations are sparked, and the spirit of Harlem is honored daily. Whether through organized meal programs, partnerships with local leaders, or simply opening the doors with love and intention, Chocolàt continues to be a pillar in the neighborhood.
This is community work rooted in action, not words — and it’s only growing.
