CAFÉ CHOCOLATE
As if there weren’t enough charm luring you to Lititz, along comes a dark chocolate crepe. The BYOB Café Chocolate is about chocolate and much more. Homemade soups, salads, entrées, and desserts are crafted with love. But how to decide between the Dark Chocolate Fondue and the Fresh Key Lime Tart?

MARKET AT THE WILBUR
Imagine your table filled with goodies. Fresh meat. Scratch-made pasta. Aromatic coffee. Award-winning wine. Baked goods so scrumptious they can only come from Lancaster. Juicy smoothies and acai bowls. Find it all at Market at The Wilbur. Across the street? The Wilbur Chocolate Store, for the Wilbur Buds you can’t resist.

After founding Nazareth and Bethlehem, PA, Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf founded a new Moravian community in 1742, steeped in faith and centered around “The Springs,” today’s Lititz Springs Park. Firm believers in the value of educating girls, the Lititz Moravians founded Linden Hall, the nation’s oldest all-female boarding school.
Lititz and pretzels go together like, well, dough and a twist. Julius Sturgis founded America’s first commercial pretzel bakery in 1861. Visitors today see the factory that Julius started in one of Lititz’s original homes, complete with musket-firing windows in the cellar. Try your hand at twisting your own pretzel.
That tempting, bite-sized burst of chocolate wrapped in foil? Hershey's Kiss wasn’t the first. Philadelphia candymaker H.O. Wilbur & Sons introduced the Wilbur Bud in 1894 and manufactured it in Lititz from 1930 to 2016. Since day one, the Wilbur Bud has always had its distinctive petal design.
The shuttered Wilbur factory made history anew with its transformation into the Wilbur Lititz, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. Décor offers glimpses into the hotel’s chocolate-dipped past. Top off your locally sourced meal at the Blackworth Live Fire Grill with a Wilbur Crème Brulee or Wilbur Dark Chocolate Parfait.
