French Patisserie Opens New Location In Morris Plains

MORRIS PLAINS, NJ — Morris Plains just got a little sweeter, drawing butter and sugar lovers to line up for croissants, tarts and other treats.

Chocolatine debuted its second location with a soft opening this past weekend at 684 Speedwell Avenue in Morris Plains, next to Arthur's Restaurant.

The authentic French bakery is run by French baker Cédric Hosy and his wife, Elaine Castro. Their first location, in Denville, opened in 2023, though they’ve been baking croissants for wholesale to restaurants, hotels, and markets since 2020.

In addition to its namesake, the chocolate croissant, Chocolatine also offers individual tarts, macarons, beignets, Danishes, chocolate chip cookies, and savory items like a variety of quiches and a tomato and mushroom tart.

"Our mission is to create authentic French pastries that can elevate one's sense of sight, touch, smell and taste. Our bakers use classical techniques to make high quality and handmade products," the bakery's website states.

According to officials, the new location offers more seating than the Denville site, allowing guests to relax and enjoy their pastries inside.

The new location is open during the following hours:

• Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Sunday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
