| - The people have already spoken. Lilly Handmade Chocolates hardly needs another 5 star review.
But I'm adding one anyway, just to add to the tally.
I've enjoyed everything I've ever tried from Lilly, most especially the drinking chocolate (take a friend to share one with, or if you can finish it off on your own, bravo!). The staff are always pleasant, friendly, and patient - trying to decide which 6 - or which 12 even - of those beautiful and tasty little truffles are going home with me is always a hard decision.
Most recently, I had a favor I needed to repay to a friend from back home. Sending a box of chocolates is hardly a unique choice in theory, but sending a box of Lilly truffles (and a Cup O' Joe Premium Chocolate bar) however was just the thing. Amazingly, she managed to hold off on devouring the entire box within a day (something I cannot claim to be able to do) and stashed them in the fridge for safer keeping - I've gotten several messages now about just how wonderful and delicious those chocolates are in the weeks since.
The process of ordering the box of chocolates was also a nice surprise. They took my order over the phone, scheduled to ship out several days later to correspond with her return home from a trip. A 5 minute phone call was all it took to arrange the deal, and the gift arrived when promised.
It's a splurge to be sure - I'm sure there are plenty that would scoff at the price, but this is no ordinary candy. This is bliss.
