Li-Lac is such a highlight of the already charming Industry City. After walking around and admiring the murals, verdant courtyards, and delicious smells from Sahadi's, stop by here for a seriously cool look into the chocolate-making process (I'm a huge sucker for places with windows into the kitchen!)--and some impressive chocolates for not TOO premium a price.
I was pretty surprised; in some places online, Li-Lac has a $$$ rating. This mostly applies if you're buying in bulk or some of their fancier gift options. I thought that given the decorative, special nature of the treats, it wasn't as cost-prohibitive as I'd thought. You can get raspberry creams or truffles for about $2 apiece, or a bar of fudge for around $5. I tried the dark chocolate raspberry jelly bar, which I was expecting to have a jam-like center--it was really gelatinous, which was kind of fun! My boyfriend and I also thought the peanut butter fudge bar was kind of interesting; it was akin to a block of the inside of a Reese's peanut butter cup, with a more authentic peanut flavor.
This is a really cute place to take a loved one, sample some goodies, and enjoy the courtyards on a pleasant day.
