L.A. Burdick Chocolate Shop & Café in Harvard Square serves coffee drinks, pastries, and teas in addition to chocolate products. If you're in the mood for something sweet, the rich, thick, gourmet hot chocolate is all you need. Customers can choose from dark, milk, or white chocolate. The trick is the real ground chocolate mixed in with the cocoa powder and milk.
