About Chelsea Market Baskets

Our Story


Our passion for inspired specialty foods and thoughtfully designed gifts led to the creation of Chelsea Market Baskets in 1993. Owner David Porat continues to search the world for innovative products that are distinctly high quality, fresh, unique, and have a certain indescribable charm. We aim to satisfy sophisticated tastes with our global offerings.

Our Mission


Our ultimate goal is to delight our customers through our Chelsea Market retail shop, our mail order gift business, and our wholesale imports. We believe in product integrity and a high level of customer service, and our mission is to heighten each and every customer's experience with these core values.
