Wendy Lieu, CEO and chief chocolatier at Socola Chocolates (Courtesy of Socola Chocolates)Lieu herself is unquestionably bright and intentional in her choices.
Customers’ suggestions—“make a coffee chocolate” or “try a chili chocolate”—inspired the sisters to expand their offerings and gave them the idea to infuse the candy with their heritage.
Instead of just coffee, she made a Vietnamese coffee truffle; instead of just chili, she used Sriracha.
Last year, they opened a second location at the San Francisco International Airport.
