HÅKAN Chocolatier has majestically opened a chocolate speakeasy on Main Street in Beacon, New York, nestled in the stunning Hudson Valley. The shop showcases an exquisite array of bonbons with shells that are impeccably thin, perfectly tempered, offering a satisfying snap and an alluring melt. Beyond chocolate, Håkan has passionately returned to his roots, baking exceptional traditional Swedish cardamom buns that have quickly become a beloved treat among locals. The introduction of espresso-based coffee drinks, crafted with beans from Brooklyn’s revered Devoción roastery, has remarkably enriched the local coffee culture.
The items crafted in this wonderful gem of a place are more than just chocolate and pastries; they are works of art and a delight to the eyes and taste buds. Carefully handcrafted, the chocolates and pastries offer a delightful sensory experience.
HÅKAN Chocolatier prides itself on sourcing rare and extraordinary ingredients, such as lotus seeds, lingonberries, and hawthorn. His creations reflect a distinctive Nordic essence infused with global influences, resulting in complex yet harmonious flavors—saltiness balanced with sweetness, bitterness intertwined with sourness, rugged textures paired with elegance.
A curated selection of chocolates, including dark, ruby, milk, and white varieties, each infused with surprising flavors, elevates the tasting experience.
Håkan’s passion for weddings is genuinely inspiring. His talent for designing bespoke bonbons that perfectly match the personalities of couples is remarkable. Additionally, he crafts stunning sculptures—magnificent creatures and artistic objets d’art—demonstrating a level of craftsmanship reminiscent of Michelangelo, all with a chocolate palette that astounds.
This delightful establishment is a true testament to Håkans’s artistry and dedication, making it a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional craftsmanship, innovative flavors, and inspired creativity.
