Chicago-native Michael Canady studied under chocolate masters in both Switzerland and Belgium -- while he was working as an academic advisor in Saudi Arabia, he traveled to Europe whenever he could for training. He also did a crash-course at the CIA in New York before moving back to Chicago to open his own chocolate shop. Canady prepares most of the chocolate himself in the glass-enclosed exhibition kitchen, located just behind the sales counters. Specialty items include truffles and hand-made chocolates, hand-dipped orange slices, plus house-made gelato, mousse pie and gelato cakes. Beverages include coffee, cappuccino and of course, hot chocolate.
