Where chocolate and cheese intersect, there are always plenty of foodies to be found, and this weekend’s joint pop-up between Lilly Chocolates & Confectionsand Old Brooklyn Cheese Co. was no exception. Held at Old Brooklyn Cheese Co.’s shop, the popular pop-up marked the second time these two businesses have teamed up in the last month, featuring goodies ranging from gourmet mac-and-cheese to salted caramel-stuffed Medjool dates.
“The first pop-up was nuts, and this one was just as nuts,” says Amanda Montague, co-owner of Lilly Chocolates & Confections. “Old Brooklyn [residents] come out in hordes, which gives me good hope for the future.”
It’s fitting these two businesses would team up at this moment in time—after all, both are poised to do big things in Old Brooklyn in the near future. Old Brooklyn Cheese Co. was just named one of the nine Cleveland Chain Reaction semi-finalists yesterday, and Lilly Chocolates & Confections is hoping to open its new shop in Old Brooklynnext week after making the move from Tremont this summer.
