Chocolat Uzma - Review - Pilsen - Chicago - The Infatuation
"This tiny jewel box of a Pilsen sweets shop specializes in gorgeous bonbons that look like mini 3D Jackson Pollock paintings infused with South Asian flavors. There are a few pastries and coffee as well, though anything made with chocolate is what’s really going to impress—from silky black salt caramel truffles to an extraordinarily well-balanced cup of sipping chocolate. You’ll find a handful of options like classic plain, seasonal pumpkin spice, and a more unusual turmeric. But the best hot chocolate here—and one of the best in the city—is the rose. It’s a little sweeter than the plain, but the dried petals are delicate and scent the smooth, creamy chocolate without overpowering the drink. photo credit: Veda Kilaru" - Veda Kilaru
