  • Not worth the trip or the money!!!!

Sorry, I am gonna tell you not to waste your time. This place is SO overhyped and not worth the trip. I was really excited about this place. My husband went without me one day when he was in the city and got a sandwich to go. The next time we were in the city, I wanted to check it out and he told me "don't bother....it's not very good and like cafeteria food". I didn't want to believe him. That day, we ended up at Blossom instead which was excellent. This evening we decided to stop in at By Chloe on Bleeker to get dessert. They had very little available and what we got was terrible. Cinnamon Espresso cookie was burnt and had a bad after taste. None of the really amazing sounding ice creams were available; just pumpkin. It was overpriced at $4 for what looked like a quarter of a cup of ice cream and tasteless. Sorry, but the fanfare is not in line with the actual product. This bothers me because there are so many wonderful little vegan places trying to get by, making much better food, and they aren't getting any of the hype this place has gotten. In NYC, Peace Cafe, Blossom, Candle, are all doing it right and By Chloe is junk by comparison. There's no exemption in my book for a bad product just because it's vegan. Don't waste your time or money. If you want incredible complex vegan desserts, try Sweet Maresa's amazing vegan macarons or Lagusta's Luscious chocolates. Those women are amazing vegan chef's creating outstanding delicious desserts and if they had even a quarter of the hype Chloe is getting, they'd be world famous.
