Sweets for the Sweet
“A sweet gesture goes a long way in saying thank you”, which is why a gourmet box of chocolates from Downtown’s best chocolatier may be in order. Sure, Sees Candies are good, but L”Artisan du Chocolat takes candy making to the next level. Husband and wife team Christian Alexandre and Whajung Park offer some of the most spectacular Fine French candies around.
For the gift that keeps on giving, the company offers the ingenious Chocolate Subscription Service, which allows you to schedule a regular delivery of refills for the gift box you give your administrative professional. You can opt for monthly, semi-monthly, quarterly or semi-annually. One of the most popular gift boxes is the Pyramid, a handsome wood container with three drawers filled with delectable items such as espresso truffles, lavender chocolate and hazelnuts swirls.
Or you can opt for an assorted mix of chocolates selected by the chef in a pretty new line green box tied with a red ribbon.Among the unusual chocolate flavors are Kalamata olive, chili pepper, caramelized banana and several infused with herbs like basil, fennel, thyme and rosemary.

For business a few years back I had to go to Belgium about once a month. The one thing that made my trip bearable for myself a true Chocoholic was the fine European chocolate found in an endless variety along the streets of Brussels. I am sure Chocolate heaven will not be much different than the streets of Brussels. The chocolates are low sugar, fine quality chocolate and contain amazing fillings that never over powers the incredible chocolate. I always brought a trove back each month for family and friends and of course myself!
Recently I was shocked and amazed that we have, only 5 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, on the edge of Silverlake, chocolates that exceed the quality and taste of those Belgium chocolates of memory, L’Artisan du Chocolat at 3364 West 1st Street. The maker of these fine chocolates is none other than Korean born Whajung. Whajung, Maitre Chocolatier, has been trained in Paris at the renowned Ecole Superieure de Cuisine Jean Ferrandi and has been working with some of the most qualified “Confiseur” and chocolate makers in Paris like Alain Furet. Christian, her husband and co-owner, who has a different background, as an International Banker, Financial Planner, Professor of Economics brings another set of experiences to the company. Together they have mastered Chocolate’s quality and taste with a superior European knowledge of how to work ingredients and subtle flavors. If you love chocolate this is Holy Grail, Mecca, The Garden of Eden of Chocolate. To miss out on these chocolates would be a disservice to your palate.
