Coffee shop & chocolatier. Omar and his wife started the chocolate business in 2005 as a home based business as the business grew and the customer base increased, it was time to expand and to get exposed to the outer world. The timing was perfect when Rami (Lama's brother) moved to Canada, the talk of opening a coffee shop and a gourmet chocolate shop as a partnership evolved in early 2011 and the dream came to fruition in October 19, 2011.
