"Soho chocolatier L.A. Burdick does an exemplary hot chocolate. Their chocolate chip cookie, on the other hand, is fine. The dark chocolate, vanilla, and bits of walnut do what they can, and we certainly wouldn't turn one away, but overall it’s a snooze." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"Just standing inside of this chocolate shop in Soho feels like a holiday activity. The ceiling is covered in Christmas lights, and it smells like they might have a cocoa tree growing in the back. L.A. Burdick has been in the neighborhood for decades, and they serve several different kinds of hot chocolate. But the spicy hot cocoa is the one you want. It has the thick consistency of drinking chocolate, but it’s sweeter. The hint of cayenne balances things out nicely." - will hartman, carina finn koeppicus, nikko duren, bryan kim
"Chocolatier L.A. Burdick was founded in New York City in 1987, and there are currently seven locations around the country, including this one on Prince Street. Painted with stripes of green and gold, the little shop is lined with a handcrafted chocolates in bar and bonbon form. It’s a great place to pick up a gift—like a set of the signature chocolate mice—but you can also pop in for a coffee, pastry, or cup of extra thick and sweet hot chocolate. For quality Soho people-watching, snag one of the tables on the sidewalk." - Bryan Kim
"L.A. Burdick has been crafting whimsical chocolates and exceptional drinking chocolate since 1987. At the charming Soho shop, guests can choose between cups of lushly thick white chocolate, milk chocolate, a dark chocolate blend, or a variety of single-origin dark chocolates from Ecuador to Madagascar. Each cup is made with chocolate shavings and steamed milk, lending a melted chocolate bar-type quality." - John Tsung
"I noted that L.A. Burdick, though founded in New York, has New England locations and sells chocolate mice, penguins, elephants, chocolate bars, drinking chocolate, and more, with shipping available to UPS-accessible U.S. addresses and some international destinations." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
