While in the area my mind needed to attain a small sugar fix. Upon entering this little chocolate shop patrons will be engulf with the fragrant aroma of chocolate. Everything is adorned with chocolate. Li-Lac Chocolates hone traditional values of chocolate recipes and techniques. I wish I could take my two teddy bears to be immersed with all the chocolates adorned in the enclosed glass case. With the old fashioned traditional chocolates, my taste is old fashion as I prefer simple milk chocolate un-tainted from nuts. I opt for a simple milk chocolate heart shape of $4.25. This heart shape milk chocolate reminisces of my childhood NYC Board of Education school years of every Valentine's Day when every child receive two small red heart shape milk chocolate. Samples are available at the counter. Customer service is attentive and ready, willing and able with questions and order fulfillment. No seats are available as gourmet chocolates are met to order as gifts or for one's enjoyment.
As a writer/ poet, I disagree with the verbiage on their business card "Fresh, Gourmet Chocolate From The 1920s" which fends that their chocolates are from the 1920s and is 92 years old. Grammatically the versus should be re-written as: Fresh, Gourmet Chocolate Of the 1920s.
I was tempted to lineup for free samples when they first opened, but I took the "high road." Though I still experience a bit of schnorrer's remorse, but I've been to the shop several times now, always with positive results.
Pros: It's close to home, sells cute-shaped oversize chocolates (a gift basset hound was my latest acquisition), and has a tasty bar with smaller snacks to go.
Cons: On the pricey side. Staff is friendly but don't strike me as chocolatiers, in case you're a chocolate nerd demanding of such knowledge.
Late posting….looking for a gift for friends back home..came upon this place..great variety of chocolates..wonderful shapes, flavors..got a nice gift bag..and a few pieces for myself! Friendly service n awesome chocolates!
Came during their Grand opening and promotion. While standing in the cold, they had an assorted chocolate sample plate for the customers to try. It was really sweet of them. I got to try countless amounts. They just kept offering constantly. When one plate was on the verge of being empty, another full plate of chocolates comes out. FREE samples all day around. The line moved pretty fast. The promotion was the price of chocolate in the showcase were being sold as same price as it was in the 1900's. So 23 cents each! There's a catch, each person were limited as to how many they can buy. I got 5 of their darkest chocolate bars. Such a steal! The chocolate was great too. Great quality and texture.
