Plan a Day-Date at Leonidas Chocolate Cafe

Wake up early and head to Leonidas Chocolate Cafe for a sweet treat for your sweetheart.

Wake up early and head to Leonidas Chocolate Cafe for a sweet treat for your sweetheart. Snag two of the hot chocolate lollipops. As long as you have milk at home, you’ll be able to quickly transform them into a piping-hot morning pick-me-up—just heat the milk and then drop in the block of solid chocolate.

It’ll be a fun way to wake up your other half, especially if you’ve also grabbed a few of the other popular confections, like the flaky almond croissants and the dark chocolate biscotti. Founder and namesake Leonidas Kistakedis first debuted a tea room in Belgium more than 100 years ago with the same traditional treats that now tantalize taste buds right here in Chicago. Of course, you can also grab a box of Belgian chocolates to go when you swing by Leonidas (or order them online and have them shipped in a velvet-covered chocolate box. It comes packed with your choice of pralines, dark chocolates, milk chocolates, or a mix of the various treats that Leonidas has to offer.
