Is Kee's Chocolates Still Open? Best Thing I Ever Ate Update
Best Thing I Ever Ate, Season 2 New York, New York
Current status
As of October 2026, Kee's Chocolates is open — confirmed via the restaurant's current website/social account, accessed September 15, 2026.
What the source shows: Kee's Chocolates' own site (2026 copyright) and a Crain's New York Business report (2026-04-22) confirm a new lease and reopened physical shop at 222 Front Street (South Street Seaport), alongside continued online sales; prior Manhattan storefronts (Thompson St, W 39th St, Columbus Ave, Fifth Ave Midtown) now show as closed on Yelp, so this is a relocated/consolidated single-location operation, not the multi-location footprint implied before.

What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The 'Chocolate' episode featured handmade chocolates from Kee's Chocolates, a chocolatier with a Midtown West Manhattan location at 315 West 39th Street, known for pralines, bonbons, truffles, and macarons. According to the shop's website, keeschocolates.com, accessed 2026-09-08, Kee's Chocolates' Omakase Boxes, chocolate bars, and barks were available for online purchase, while cookies, macarons, and individual bonbons were listed as temporarily unavailable. The same site, copyrighted 2026, told customers shipping would resume in the fall because of warm-weather concerns, according to the site's own notice. The Midtown West address is one of Kee's Chocolates' New York locations; whether it is the exact branch referenced in the episode was not separately confirmed. No closure, relocation, or ownership-change reports for Kee's Chocolates were found in the available sources.
