Although the EPA demanded reduced emissions from the Blommer Chocolate processing plant, its sickly sweet cocoa aroma sugarcoats the West Loop industrial corridor like a welcoming cup of hot chocolate. If you can’t follow your nose to the factory shop during normal business hours, Blommer’s has opened a pop-up shop called The Candy Gallery on the 5400 block of North Clark.

No kidding, I’ve lived there and completely agree. Though I’d add it smells less like chocolate, more like fragrant refuse.
