This mostly wholesale mom-and-pop outfit specializes in healthy snacks based on family recipes. Papa Lena's moved from West Town (1438 W. Chicago Ave.) to this new Near North Side location, where they share space with Nicole's Divine Crackers, late summer of 2008. For now, a limited amount of baked goods and dips are on offer in the retail area. Phone orders are accepted for other items, including pizzas (call for details). By late November or early December 2008, owners plan to debut a fully stocked retail area at this location.
