I stopped by and picked up some chocolates from Li-Lac chocolate after passing by the store countless number of times in my years living in New York. I purchased some holiday chocolates from the store. Dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Both were delightful and fresh. The salesperson was friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. The store itself was decorated rather festive. read more

It is a wonderful spot for anyone who loves chocolate. The shop has a classic, old-fashioned feel, and you can tell they take pride in their sweets. The chocolates are rich, smooth, and full of flavor. There are so many options to choose from, which makes it fun to try different kinds. read more

I found this chocolate shop through DoorDash. I really liked the dark chocolate with the sprinkles. Was reasonably priced and super tasty.

Just a shout out to Li-Lac Chocolates! I've been a loyal client for many years in current and previoys locations in Manhattan. I went to the Greeenwich Avenue store looking for the Oscars' Statues but sadly they were out of them. The nice woman behind the counter offered to call the Bleecker Street store and they had them in stock. After a brisk stroll I was there and was taken care by a very friendly and very professional young man who packed each statue beautifully! What a nice experience and will definitely continue to be a loyel customer of Li-Lac Chocolates. Ben Urizar read more

We stopped in here after visiting an apartment on Cornelia St. Got the milk chocolate covered marshmallows, OMG, absolutely amazing!!! We were waited on almost immediately by super friendly staff & the shop is well lit, nicely laid out & smelled wonderful!! read more

Stop by on Sunday afternoon I got a piece of white chocolate bar for my Mommy because that's her favorite thing and I must say atmosphere was very much beautiful. The display of all the variety of chocolate caught my eyes. It's a nice little getaway just a little girl girly run if you wanna do so I recommend this shop. They have a whole wide variety for you to choose from and all the flavors were good and they had samples so so that's a plus, overall the chocolates was good not too sweet not bitter, after all its white vanilla so that was a good part and I recommend visiting. read more

Absolutely delicious! - And absolutely overpriced! I got a tiny bag of dark chocolate raisins for $14 (see pic) - it's basically just a handful - and doesn't seem much different than Nestle's Raisinetes, which I can get for a couple bucks anywhere. The lady behind the counter seemed bored with her job - it was McDonald's quality service. I don't see the justification for these exorbitant luxury prices here at all. read more

Expensive but delicious sweet treat ($8 each not including tax). Walked by the case in Chelsea Market and the dark chocolate covered s'mores (All-American Smores) called out to me and couldn't not get it. The marshmellow was soft, sponge-y, chewy, and delicious (can definitely tell it was housemade). The graham was soft and moist, breaking apart immediately when you bite into it. The thick dark chocolate kept it all together. I would 100% come and buy it again. read more

I haven't had Li-Lac chocolates since the moved from their original Christopher Street shop, so I thought when i was in the Village today I would get some. This was at the Greenwich Street shop. When I entered the store, there was a funny6 smell...almost like mothballs. I purchased a few items anyway. When I got home and tried it, the chocolates were terrible. Whatever that was in the store, was soaked up by the chocolates. The truffles were not edible. This shop has become an élite chocolate brand, I would imagine because as the Village became ultra gentrified, they could raise the prices to match the costs of living in the area. That in itself is bad, but to actually sell inedible products, at the extremely high price is terrible. I expect that a store like this would keep their shop and products pristine. The service was not great either. It was as if I was at a McDonald's. Unfriendly. All in all, a horrible experience at any price, an inexcusable experience at their inflated price. read more

Non-functional slack fill alert!! I bought a 20pc box as a gift that was no longer needed, so I ate it myself. I was dismayed to find that a third of the box is air! They put in false bottom. I took it out and you can see it in the picture. Yes, technically the outside of the box doesn't lie when it lists the quantity and weight, but normal humans shop via their eyes, and they intentionally make the box bigger to deceive us. Not cool at all. The chocolate is fine, but for deceptive customer practices, you get 1-star. read more

Visited just before Easter, so it was fun to see all of the bunnies and holiday chocolates. They have a wonderful selection of chocolates in an elegant shop. We enjoyed everything we got. Customer service was great, as was the packaging. It's a terrific little shop to go to if you want to bring someone a nicely packaged chocolate gift. read more

Do NOT pay for their cold shipping box... My chocolates arrived in 87° weather and all of the boxes that the chocolate was in were soaking wet from the cold pack melting. Soaking wet. Since I bought $300 of chocolate specifically for gifts... I had to give it in Tupperware. If they are going to put chocolate in a cold box, they must put the chocolate in a plastic bag or wrap it. read more

We have tried many, many premium chocolates over the years, so when I ordered from Li-Lac I was not expecting anything terribly special. I was wrong, so very, very wrong. The milk chocolate is literally the best I've had in my 60+ years. It's creamy, rich and very satisfying. I was a bit worried at the small bar size, but they filled the craving for chocolate like nothing has in years. I can say nothing about customer service, but their online ordering was easy and the order was here in a few days. The cold pack didn't last the trip from New York to South Carolina, but it made absolutely no difference in the quality of the chocolate. As long as they are making chocolate, we'll be ordering! read more

Wonderful chocolate but shipping to west coast is a killer cost for orders. We enjoyed all their candy & especially nut caramel clusters. read more

For $4.95 for a small chocolate coated coconut bar was disappointed. coconut pretty dry . frankly I like mounds bar better as it is moist .

When I first moved to New York over 20 years ago, I did a lot of my finding new places by getting a few guidebooks like Zagat's. I don't recall which book noted Li-Lac as the chocolatier to visit, but they were right then and it's still worth it. read more

Fantastic chocolates of all kinds, both novelty and serious, truffles and chocolate-coated everything. Lovely service over the years from many people, today and other times by the very kind and knowledgeable Theodore, helping me out as I waffled over what to give as a gift with so many choices. People always love what I give them so it must be right! I've been going to this location and the one at Grand Central Market for way too long, so - the people are nicer and there's a larger selection here, but more subways go there. read more

Absolutely the rudest customer service. The guy was an asshole as soon as we walked in the door

Li-Lac website said customers could watch how chocolates were made and purchase products at their Brooklyn factory. When we got there, we were not allowed to watch the manufacturing process or purchase products. We were told reservations first had to be made. This was not stated on their website. So our trip was for nothing. Poor customer service and incorrect information on their website. read more

This is one of the oldest chocolatiers in NYC. The location on Bleecker is a smaller shop compared to their other shops but has all the delicious chocolate selection one needs to make for a nice gift. I went there before Christmas to do some holiday shopping and the manager/owner was thanking every patron for there or business. I feel it important to support small shops and businesses during COVID. I highly recommend this shop. read more

I work within walking distance to this chocolate shop. Every so often I stop into this confectionery wonderland for a sweet treat. The small store is packed to the gills with delectable treats and free samples to try. My favorite items are usually the ones behind the glass case priced by the piece because I can get exactly what I want. The assorted chocolate boxes are delicious too and make great gifts. The prices are a bit expensive to say, drugstore chocolate but, are worth the splurge. The customer service can vary though. Sometimes, I get a nice person and other times, I get a rude rep who is dismissive. read more

I love Li-Lac and the service at this location is excellent. If you check in on yelp you get a delicious chocolate bar that they give you a couple of options to choose from. My friend loved the chocolate gift I got him so if your looking to buy a gift this is the spot. I got myself this caramel bar holy..... the caramel at this place is ridiculous I would definitely opt for something with caramel in it. read more

The store on Greenwich Ave. smells like mothballs and when you bring the chocolate home it tastes like mothball too. It's the strangest thing. The chocolate is great, but don't buy it there go to Chelsea market. It's too bad the store used to be in a different location in the village and it was great but there's something wrong about the store and it just smells horribly and the chocolate then tastes like that too. I had to throw out a whole batch that I bought there. read more

I have been a fan and customer of Lilac since the Christopher Street Shop days. We came on Tuesday 11/25/19 around 4 ish. The gentleman working was welcoming and friendly throughout our visit. He answered a lot of my friend's questions and even told her about the factory shop in Brooklyn's Industry City. It is refreshing to meet and be greeted by someone who not only knows the products but, also some of the history of Lilic Chocolates. We purchased Truffles, a bag of Candy Corn, and a Chocolate Pecan Bar. If you have a hankering taste for chocolates give Liliac, a try. If in the West Village, this Bleeker Street location. read more

Li-Lac Chocolates - Pretty shopping bag from Li-Lac - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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. read more

I was quite shocked at the selection. I can't believe they can make so many variations, and all so delicious. I'm so impressed. Shout out to Leo, who greeted me, helped me amidst my sea of confusion (I don't do well with lots of choices), super sweet. Thank you for great service. read more

Absolutely delicious Chocolates! I tried the dark chocolate with nuts from around the world ($45), and it was delicious. I also tried the chocolate dipped marzipan, which is located behind the glass station, and the fudge. Both were very fresh tasting and delightful. They have a variety of unique chocolate molds (footballs, Empire State Building, A bike, Godzilla, etc.). The product taste very fresh and you will not be disappointed. As a plus it is also certified as a kosher Chocolatier. read more

I was here on Monday buying chocolate for a Christmas party for my students. The lady Jackie was exceptional, fun , knowledgeable, and very kind. However her coworker was a real nervous reck and made me feel quite uncomfortable while making a big purchase. He kept watching me and looking at me like I didn't belong there. Thankfully Jackie was there to smooth it all over. read more

I am convinced that the employees of Li-Lac chocolates are simply illiterate. They screw up very simple delivery instructions very very consistently. My mom sends me chocolates from them traditionally around major holidays (Halloween, Easter, etc.). Every single time, they forget to include my mailbox number on the package label, even when my mom explicitly puts this in the delivery instructions in ALL CAPS. My university's package pickup yells at me every time I pick up these packages, simply because the a-holes at Li-lac don't read the goddamn instructions. Li-Lac did offer to send me a replacement package to make up for the fact that they make my package undeliverable, but the tracking email indicates the new package ALSO doesn't have my mailbox number on it. We will be buying our chocolate elsewhere from now on. Maybe the guys at Jacques Torres will be better at reading. read more

My boyfriend wanted to make a quick stop at Li-Lac Chocolates before dinner. The aroma of chocolate welcomed us as we stepped into the shop. The glass display case caught my eye and I couldn't resist buying a dark chocolate covered peppermint patty, which was delicious. They didn't skimp out on the peppermint flavor. Leo was super helpful and friendly, showing us the half off Thanksgiving merchandise. We chose milk chocolate nonpareils by mistake and Leo asked if we meant to buy milk. We were thankful he confirmed because we are indeed dark chocolate lovers. We appreciated his attention to detail and service. read more
