Little did she know, the building was a chocolate shop once before, owned by a Hungarian woman.

Ms. Essence Hatfield, The Hungarian Chocolatier, whose birth name is Erzsébet Hatfaludi, in 1899. Trained in her aunt's apothecary and sweetshop, a place known for its herbal liqueurs, spiced syrups, and "remedies" wrapped in sweetness. 

Some chocolates are laced with herbs once used to calm grief or induce dreaming, others, it’s whispered, were “only for the broken-hearted.”
