How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Chocolatiers and Candy Shops
Laughing Gull is run by Lindsay Tarnoff, Karla Carey and Allison Zukoski, who met as new mothers and kept a small lounge at the back of the shop for their kids, per CITY Magazine. They read the transparency reports of the companies they buy chocolate from and teach classes through Rochester Brainery. Order the chocolate mole bar, built with black pepper, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, fennel and three kinds of chili, and a drinking chocolate from a case CITY describes as packed with truffles, bark, bars and caramels.

- Hot Chocolate
CITY Magazine's feature on Rochester's chocolate shops quotes co-owner Lindsay Tarnoff on why she wanted this Beechwood shop to be a family place: come have a gourmet hot chocolate or a chocolate and cheese plate and sit with the kids. The shop includes a small back lounge that doubles as a play area for the three owners' own children. Order the gourmet hot chocolate and stay a while, the sit-down pace the shop was built around rather than a quick counter order.
