Our Story
Borough Chocolates was founded in the heart of Brooklyn, New York in August of 2020 by Jessica Minghi. Jessica’s career was spent building over the past couple decades in bakeries and fine dining in the Bay Area and New York City. After being abruptly laid off amidst the pandemic, the intrigue and interest in chocolate blossomed into what we are now able to call our first brick and mortar shop. Starting with small batch chocolates from home and selling directly to buyers through social media and other outlets, the project quickly outgrew home production, and our Greenpoint storefront was opened in the Fall of 2022.

The name Borough Chocolates was decided upon in effort to showcase the importance of the location where the company began. The chocolates are skillfully crafted in one of the five Boroughs of New York City, and it was of importance of how special and unique this city is to it’s artisans and craftsman. A bustling city with rich history, full of diversity and inspiration, New York is forever the home of Borough Chocolates. Brooklyn is our current Borough, and we are proudly serving our Greenpoint community with warmth and pride.
We strive as a company to deliver unique and familiar flavors using quality products sourced both locally and abroad, to provide excellence in both taste and presentation. Borough Chocolates has teamed up with Michel Cluizel Chocolate, as well as additional Valrhona products, with a goal to share the highest of quality couvertures. By combining our love for fine food and fine art, we hope to merge these two world’s for captivating and tasteful chocolates.
