Second Naked Chocolate opens in West Philly
 |
Tom Block, who founded Walnut Street’s infinitely popular Naked Chocolate Café with daughter Sara in August of 2006, debuted his second location at 3421 Walnut (215-222-3710) last week.
Slightly smaller than the Center City original, Naked 2 opens two hours earlier (8 a.m.) to accommodate the early-morning student slam. Most all the options you’ve grown obsessed with — your cupcakes, boxed chocolates and sweet beverages — are available at the new spot, in addition to many new items, including fresh-baked muffins and cookies and what Block calls “savory puffs,” doughy treats filled with brie, goat cheese, ham and cheddar, roasted veggies, etc. The non-desserty selection will grow in the coming months once the team completes the in-the-works kitchen expansion at the O.G. café.
Block adds that he and Sara hope to have Naked’s third location, at 18th and Chestnut, open before the end of 2008.
