Lazar's Chocolate — Local services in Town of North Hempstead

I'd heard about Lazar's from my husband who visited the shop when he was young so when I saw a Groupon for Lazar's, I jumped at it. I'm impressed they allowed users so much time to use the it---it was available back in February and now it's July and I just used it! The Groupon specified it was for their Bayside location which has since closed---they allowed users to use it at any of their stores.

The shop is exactly what you'd expect from a traditional candy shop. They have everything you could think of, both chocolate and non-chocolate---even the famous (or infamous, depending on your appetite) Tate's cookies!

My sole reason for visiting Lazar's was for chocolate sponges, something I grew up with from the Jersey shore (no, not the show). It's a piece of candy made of molasses, corn syrup, and baking soda that's covered in dark or milk chocolate. If you're a See's candy fan, think of their Krisps. I love sponges and I really haven't seen them anywhere. Needless to say, Lazar's didn't disappoint---theirs are covered in a ton of chocolate!

My husband was thrilled with his chocolate mints, which according to him, haven't changed from what he remembered.

Prices are generally standard with a few items a bit higher than other places. $7 for a quarter pound...

I live in Atlanta and have been ordering online from Lazar’s for close to 20 years. My co-workers/friends sent me a box for the holidays a long time ago, and my husband and I quickly became addicted. It is by far our favorite chocolate ever. Any time we buy chocolate we compare it to Lazar’s, and nothing else has come close. We love to pick out our own custom boxes, which we usually do about three times a year. And I’ll often buy a custom box for friends or family throughout the year too (which is always appreciated). I honestly couldn’t tell you which piece is my favorite, because every one is better than the next. There’s something so special about this chocolate (and anything with caramel is magical) that I just appreciate the experience of eating it every time. I’m always a little sad when I finish the last piece. We’re hoping to get to Great Neck to check out the greatest chocolate in...

I've been coming to this place for years and never appreciated the chocolates for myself. I am usually shopping for gifts/other people. This visit was to buy a little something to satisfy my sweet tooth and I found the perfect combination. Chocolate dipped Oreos, their version of Nestle Crunch and peanut butter cups. Heavenly and very decadent. Picked up about a pound in total and it was well worth the sugar rush. I love that they have an assortment of gift ideas already pre-packaged, think chocolate pops and rice krispies. Best part, they make party favors both custom or straight...
