Bryan Kim reviews L.A. Burdick, a Soho chocolatier offering handcrafted chocolates, including signature mice, plus coffee, pastries, and a thick hot chocolate.
This Soho chocolatier, established in 1987, offers a delightful array of handcrafted chocolates, with their signature chocolate mice being a particular highlight [1]. Beyond these sweet treats, patrons can enjoy coffee, pastries, and a rich, thick hot chocolate [1]. The establishment also provides sidewalk seating, perfect for soaking in the Soho atmosphere and people-watching.
LA Burdick is celebrated for its handcrafted chocolates, especially its unique chocolate mice and a rich, thick hot chocolate that some call the best in the city [1, 2]. They also offer a variety of other chocolate confections, pastries, and cocoa [3, 4]. While most feedback is positive, one user found the white hot chocolate disappointing [5].

Customers largely have a positive sentiment towards the offerings, frequently praising the chocolate mice and the rich hot chocolate [1]. While generally well-received, some comments suggest it can be pricey [2].
