How to Celebrate Easter in Brooklyn: Chocolate Bunnies and Brunch

Our next holiday is right around the corner, and we have suggestions for everything from chocolate eggs and bunnies to marzipan lambs, and classic Easter brunch or dinner. Also, check out our list of the traditional Easter Egg Hunts happening around the borough this week.

Candy and Pastries

Buttermilk Bakeshop

260 5th Avenue, between Carroll Street and Garfield Place.

Enjoy desserts from Buttermilk Bakeshop’s Easter menu. Try the flourless chocolate cake, coconut macaroons, paint-a-cookie kits, and speckled macaroons.

Circo’s Pastry Shop

312 Knickerbocker Avenue, between Hart and Suydam streets.

Grab pasta di uova, or Easter basket cookies, a seven pound cookie tray, or pizza di grano from the classic Circo’s for the holiday.

Jacques Torres Chocolate

66 Water Street, between Main and Dock streets.

Get nostalgic with Jacques Torres’s chocolate dipped peeps, smiling bunnies, and chubby chocolate chicks.

Jomart Chocolates

2917 Avenue R, between Nostrand Avenue and E. 29th Street.

Grab a (pandemic appropriate) socially distanced pair of chocolate bunnies, a trendy Easter hot chocolate bomb, or some chocolate marshmallow eggs from Jomart. They’ve also got hand-painted eggs and rabbits available.

Li-Lac Chocolates

68 35th Street, between 2nd and 3rd avenues.

Really treat yourself this year with Li-Lac’s enormous $295 chocolate Easter egg, more than big enough for the whole family. For those with milder tastes, they’ve got normal-sized bunnies, eggs, and decorated baskets.

Not Just Chocolate

537 5th Avenue, between 14th and 15th streets.

Enjoy a hyper-realistic chocolate bunny from Not Just Chocolate. It’s (almost) too pretty to eat, but we think you’ll manage.

So Like Candy

Address provided upon ordering.

Try peanut butter eggs or carrot coffee cake from So Like Candy in Ditmas Park. The goodies are available for pick-up or delivery on April 3rd.

Tasty Pastry Shoppe

8216-18 13th Avenue, between 82nd and 83rd streets.

Try incredibly cute marzipan lambs, classic chocolate bunnies, Easter egg bread, Easter lard bread, giant chocolate eggs, and more from Tasty Pastry Shoppe in Bensonhurst.

The Chocolate Room

269 Court Street, between Butler and Douglass streets.

Grab a fully assembled Easter box from The Chocolate room. Enjoy hand-painted eggs, chocolate malt balls, a chocolate bunny, chocolate marshmallow eggs, and more. If you’re in the mood for something less committed, they’ve also got adorable chocolate bunnies for sale a la carte.

Brunch and Dinner

BK9

62 5th Avenue, between St. Marks Place and Bergen Street.

Enjoy a “Traditional Caribbean Easter brunch” with BK9. Catfish and cheesy grits, chicken and waffles, jerk chicken wings, and frozen rum punch are all on the menu, which will be pre-fixe for the holiday ($57.09 including tax and gratuity). Add a carafe of mimosas for just $15 extra.

Concord Hill

374 Graham Avenue, between Skillman Avenue and Conselyea Street.

Bring Easter Brunch home or enjoy it in person with Concord Hill’s special holiday menu. Roasted leg of lamb, house cured salmon and eggs, brioche French toast, and hazelnut carrot cake are all on the in-person menu. Finish it off when a mimosa or Bloody Mary.
