Chocolàt in the Community
Supporting Harlem Families and Neighbors in NYC
Strengthening Harlem Through Service, Partnerships, and Hospitality
At Chocolàt Restaurant & Bar, community engagement is woven into everything we do. As a locally owned Harlem restaurant, we believe great hospitality extends beyond the dining room and into the neighborhoods we serve. Through partnerships with community organizations, faith-based groups, and local leaders, Chocolàt continues to support initiatives that help strengthen Harlem and improve quality of life for residents.
Under the leadership of Leon Ellis, Chocolàt has proudly partnered with organizations such as Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement (HCCI), a nonprofit dedicated to the revitalization and empowerment of Harlem through community development, education, housing, and wellness programs.

A Gathering Place for Harlem
Located on Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Chocolàt has become more than a destination for Harlem brunch, soul food, and cocktails. It is a neighborhood gathering place where residents, visitors, and community leaders come together to celebrate Harlem's culture, history, and future.
Whether you're joining us for our popular weekend brunch, enjoying a meal from our dinner menu, or learning more about our private events and catering services, every visit helps support a business that remains committed to giving back to the community it calls home.
As Harlem continues to grow and evolve, Chocolàt remains dedicated to serving with purpose, fostering meaningful connections, and helping create a stronger, more vibrant neighborhood for generations to come.
