Godiva Boutique

Profile

The Belgian chocolatier founded in 1926 and brought to America in 1966 keeps a steady following with its identifiable gold boxes and handy reference sheets to accompany all its familiar-shaped bon bons—ganache hearts, caramel-filled lion crests, raspberry white-chocolate starfish. Visiting the stores has its perks too, like fresh strawberries dipped in white or dark chocolate and ice cream specialties in summer. — Alexandra Vallis
