This store and owner is perfect for a chocoholic. Some of the reviews don't understand. Not to be a chocolate snob, but good chocolate is expensive. There are more affordable chocolates and candy in the store; cute little items for everyone. If back on Beacon Hill, I will definitely be dropping in again and recommend the store to everyone. The owner carries many brands that are hard to find in the US. The cute little store is chock full of wonderful goodies. We spoke with the owner and she's very knowledgeable and delightful. We purchased Chocolates we cannot get anymore, even from the chocolatier. She must have an in.:) She also suggested we go to another chocolate store that we thought we had not tasted their chocolates before. We had, I just didn't recognize the name. I'm saying this because even though she sells chocolate, she still was gracious enough to recommend even other chocolate stores. If you love chocolate and are willing to pay the going rate for high-end chocolate, you must drop by and buy some pieces for yourself and gifts. read more

Excellent chocolates, service left a lot to be desired. My simple request for a bow around my chocolates (which are a gift) was met with an eye roll and clear disdain for the job. Will maybe return if the staff gets an attitude adjustment. read more

These chocolates are pricey ($54 for a 10 box + 5 box) and can be hit or miss but overall delicious! That said, if you're a chocoholic and love trying flavors from around the world it's worth dropping by. I came by to get some valentine boxes and the staff were very nice + efficient so they moved through the long line easily. I must say, wow their chocolate selection was impressive! The display was stocked full of unique truffles and their packaging was beautiful. We were happy with most of the chocolates but one did taste a little stale unfortunately. Otherwise, definitely a nice spot to find a gift for a special someone! read more

Stopped in here with my friend so she could look for some last-min Christmas gifts. They have a ton of options here to curb your sweet tooth. My friend bought a Dubai chocolate bar for $17. It's pricey, but delicious. Solid option in Beacon Hill. read more

The chocolates look gorgeous, artistic, but the taste is just OK. Not as special as the $3 price tag would otherwise suggest. I was disappointed. With the Beacon Hill name and the colorful designs, they make impressive gifts. Though some family members didn't like them much, and so I am eating instead :). I wish they were both more flavorful and more creamy. Feel a bit drier and harder than expected. They don't make them there, but they have an insanely high turn around, so I don't think they are stale. Just maybe made hard to travel. Anyway, came here based on a listing of chocolatiers in Boston. Yeah, we're paying for the Beacon Hill rent. Staff was very friendly and helpful. If they can improve the quality of the chocolates, I'll pay $50 again for a box of 16! read more

LOVELY little chocolate shop! I have a thing for trying fancy little truffles every now and then, so when in Boston, I decided to hunt down a little chocolate shop. Not disappointed. Hannah was a sweetheart and helped me select 13 different truffles. It's so fun to test them with my partner. I selected about eight of them by myself, and I asked Hannah to help me select a few more and maybe I would end up trying something new. She picked out some really pretty lavender and violet ones! So good. I don't usually eat lavender so it was nice to get something different. Have yet to try the second ones but so far all sooo good, go check it out! read more

I love myself some good truffles. These missed the spot for me. Not only did I feel they were on the expensive side but most were overly sweet. I would imagine there would be one here or there but not the majority of a dozen. This place fell a little short of my expectations. read more

Don't expect the mundane Godiva or Lindt because- This. Ain't. Your. Stop. So if: (1) you're a Choco-holic like I am, (2) you want to choc-overdose on truffles, (3) you're in Boston...then this my friend...IS your stop! There's a major Chocolate scene here on Charles St in Boston's Beacon Hill area. I couldn't have been more excited when hubs noticed Beacon Chocolates after our hotel check out- so I looked up their deets before heading upstairs. My personal favorite is Passion Fruit. Period. But all the others I got were mouthwatering as well. They raise the bar alright with their left-field flavor combinations- such as Blood Orange Truffle, Citrus Rosemary, Mexican Mango, Olive Oil with Sea salt, Dusted Dark Chocolate Truffles and so many others. Unlike another chocolate shop I visited in the Berkshires that carry weak flavorings and artificial taste, folks at Beacon H. Chocolates, take their Chocolate seriously. So serious these aren't devoid of flavor. These are the type of Truffles you sit down with to savor individually and mindfully. Beacon Chocolates is totally a class act with exquisite flair. My $39, 12 piece box was wrapped up and tied elegantly. Eating them, was heaven. read more

I decided to check this cute chocolate shop off per a friend's recommendation. I was so impressed my the beautiful chocolates and the unique flavors. You are able to either chose from these or the prepackaged chocolates. I decided to choose 4 chocolates: cookies and cream, amarena cherry, cabernet sauvignon, and passionfruit. Staff was super friendly there and even gave me recommendations and explained the different flavors. I had a super fun time sharing this with my bestie and guessing the flavor of each chocolate. If I am ever in Boston again, I will definitely be coming back here! read more

I visited beacon hill years ago when I was in Boston and fell in love with their truffles. So of course I had to go back and I was not disappointed! They are so unique and fun; truly art.

I stumbled upon this sweet little shop when I was walking along Beacon Hill and was automatically attracted to their case of assorted of truffles. They sell other sweets here too but the truffle seemed the most attractive as there are plenty to choose from in design & flavor. I ended up purchasing 4 piece truffle box which was under $20. The range of truffles can vary and the delicate details and unique flavor make up for the price of it. This place satisfied all my fall cravings. Truffles: Pumpkin cheesecake, Mummy, Maple brown butter & Pumpkin spice read more

I first learnt about this place and their product from a sweet friend of mine with a sweet gift. She gave us a box full of artisan chocolates! So, while I was in Boston, I went to check their store and their chocolates. The inside was filled with chocolates everywhere. I was familiar with their truffles, but they had so much more than that. They had chocolate bars, chocolate covered nuts and fruits, candies, fudge, etc., etc... Another thing they have that I really love is their handmade keepsake gift boxes. They are more on the vintage design, which I think are just awesome! They have them for every occasion; mom, dad, sister, brother, Boston images, birthday, wedding, graduation... I was there to get some beautiful truffles for my husband, so I went to see the option. And my goodness, they had so many different kinds of truffles! I picked a cute gift box that holds 12 truffles, which cost extra on top of truffles. It was so hard choosing just 12 truffles, and, it was like a puzzle. They have to fit inside the box, so you can't choose all big sized one either. Luckily for me, the staff who helped me was very skilled and experienced. She helped me to get everything in there just right! It was a sweet delight, the lady who helped me was really nice, it was fun to see she was also excited to see my choices of truffles. And yes, they are all super delicious! If you are in the area and need a gift for someone special, stop by and get some beautiful and tasty truffles! read more

Great service and delicious chocolates! Owner and staff are very knowledgeable! Looking forward to my next visit.

Their chocolates are delicious. They have the cuuuutest boxes you can put your chocolates in, and the person who helped us was new, but sooo thoughtful and helpful! She was friendly while we made our selections, despite us taking a while. They have ice packs to purchase (in case you're gonna walk around after purchasing on a hot day) and the person was sooo thoughtful in preparing our chocolate in the bag and making sure the ice was touching everything just enough. Recommend going here and getting some chocolates to bring home if you're traveling! read more

I was given these chocolates as a gift and they were so delicious and pretty! One was decorated as a present and the other was a Christmas tree. I felt a little guilty eating them because of how aesthetic they were--it was like devouring an art piece in a way. The chocolate was so rich and so smooth and was not overly sweet. If I ever need to get a gift for someone, Beacon Hill Chocolates are perfect for that! read more

Beacon Hill Chocolates - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I enter this shop and my willpower exits. For a long time I would just give the sidewalk sign a cursory glance and keep walking not wanting to get sucked into what I sensed would be totally addictive deliciousness. When my cousins were in town earlier this summer they wanted to go in. I should have waited on the sidewalk. Since that visit, I've been back quite a few times. All you have to do is take a gander at the chocolate displays and just a quick peek at the trays of gelati and that's all you can think about. Yesterday, I decided that my lunch would be a small cup of their gelato. Each day they have 4 flavors that vary. They will let you sample. The choices that I've seen lately are chocolate, pistachio, raspberry, coconut and peanut butter cup. I get excited imagining what future flavors await me. I chose the peanut butter cup and it was creamy, heavenly and just sweet enough without being cloying. I loved the pretty pale pink petal shaped cup it came in which is dainty unlike me who couldn't get the spoon to my mouth fast enough.. The chocolates themselves are incredibly beautiful to look at. They are little individual pieces of art. We learned that the store owner buys these handmade chocolates from artisans in Europe and the United States so there is an array of types and styles from which to choose. And it is hard to choose. If you're buying the chocolates as a gift you can further personalize it by purchasing one of the cool vintage-design inspired keepsake boxes. Lately I've been a salted caramel gal but that could easily change within the next few visits. I may just keep skipping regular meals only to replace them with something from this shop. The chocolates are pricey. It's $18.00 for a box of 8 pieces, $40.00 for a box of 20 or $60.00 for a box of 32. The quality is high and the service is excellent which are pluses but it's still steep. Of course they are happy to sell you even just one or two pieces for a quick fix. Whether for a sweet and luscious gift (that I can't imagine someone wouldn't go crazy over) or for a treat for yourself, this is a great stop when you're on Beacon Hill. read more

I purchased an assortment of gluten free, exquisitely beautiful and delicious truffles. Then I found the plethora of odds by the cash and bought three bags. It's taken almost a week, but I'm through the box of five chocolates and two gellies. The hazelnut was rich creamy and delicious my favorite was the starry looking one that was a combo of maybe fruit and port wine? An explosion of tastes on my tongue. Each creation was most enjoyable. Both the presentation and the product are delicious and delightful. I had a starry night, a bee, a blend of oranges and reds, truly as lovely a presentation as the chocolate were delicious! I can't wait to return! read more

Stopped by on a walking trip with my husband and was really wanting some gelato after seeing their flag hanging from the sidewalk. The inside of the store is very cute and they have some beautiful looking and sounding treats in their display case! I ended up getting the cookies and cream gelato and it was very yummy and priced very fairly. The clerk was super nice and greeted us when we came in and said to let her know when/if we need anything, then left us alone to browse the store, which I always appreciate. Excited to go back and try some chocolates next time! read more

mmmmm chocolate....this store is cute! Lots of gift ideas and keepasake boxes and of course, chocolate. Sooo pretty you almost don't want to eat them.....almost.

So was the peanut butter shell, the peanut butter was perfectly smooth and not super peanut buttery, went perfectly with the chocolate. read more

This is the place for chocolate connoisseurs. The uniquely styled and handcrafted flavors are amazing. I first got these chocolates as a gift and I was hooked. I have since gotten more as gifts.

Beacon Hill Chocolates - fall festive - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place is pretty expensive but so absolutely worth it. The truffles are exquisite! And the store just defines cute, independent chocolate shop. Nestled on gorgeous Charles St, you feel like you're walking into a homemade chocolate shop on the streets of Paris or Brussels. If you're buying a present for someone, definitely get their keepsake boxes which are all lovely and unique. For truffles, I recommend the menage a mint (for chocolate-mint lovers), noisette truffle (for hazelnut lovers like me), punpkin truffle (holy autumn flavors, batman!), root beer float (I hate root beer, but this tastes more like cola so it's okay) and amandine truffle. This may be my favorite chocolate shop in the city. It's about the closest a girl can get to the real deal in Europe, but a heck of a lot cheaper. :) read more

This Beacon Hill chocolate shop could not be cuter! This adorable little store sells amazing imported chocolates, gelato, beverages and more. Their signature chocolates are Mary chocolates from Brussels, Belgium and they are mighty tasty! Famous for their gorgeous decorative keepsake boxes, the store is filled with these little gems. You can choose from a wide selection or even bring in a photo or piece of artwork and they'll custom make one for you. Yes, the chocolate is expensive, but what good chocolate isn't? Individual pieces range from $2.00-$3.25 and assortments from $10 for a 4-piece and up - also depending on which packaging you choose. I'm so glad I found this place. It is definitely high on my list of places to splurge! read more

Beacon Hill Chocolates is a fantastic place to order from, especially if you are looking to send a nice box of chocolates as a gift. They have the most beautiful keepsake boxes which are themed for all sorts of occasions (weddings, graduations, birthdays, historic Boston). After our university closed due to corona virus, we sent university themed gifts boxes to our classmates to let them know we were thinking of them. The truffles inside were as tasty as the box was beautiful. My personal favorite was the raspberries and cream. Beacon Hill Chocolates was also amazing to work with. They were willing to ship to a large number of different addresses across the United States, allowed us to choose what truffles we wanted in the keepsake boxes, and even included a personal note in each box. They also had a lot of nut free and vegan options, which was great for accommodating allergies. Beacon Hill Chocolates also ensured that their chocolates would arrive in good condition by including cooling packs and carefully monitoring the weather of each shipping location. We couldn't have been more happy with both the ordering process and the final product we received. read more

I am a chocolatier freak. Beautiful creations, and everything tastes amazing. Wonderfully layered flavor. I spend a lot of time researching artisan chocolates and I'm telling you, this is one of the very best places in the Boston area. It's really not that expensive, honestly, because artisan chocolates are running $2 and up everywhere these days, so forget the reviews that says it's expensive. I suppose it's just to be expected now, and to be taken into consideration when buying. While you're there, turn around from the chocolates case and wander over to the little bulk-bins... this is the hidden gem of gems! They have the most amazing chocolate-covereds and caramels, from dark chocolate and himalayan salt covered almonds or raspberries, to apple caramels, to pumpkin cheesecake caramels (seasonal), etc. They change every once in a while but they're always ALL fantastic. read more

Beacon Hill Chocolates - bittersweet chocolate pumpkin mousse thing. yes. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I really love this little store. It's always a pleasure to pop in and see what's new. Fair warning, though -- this shop is on Charles Street in Beacon Hill. That means high prices, but in most cases they're worth it. They sell chocolates from a glass case and also carry specialty candy brands throughout the store. I love that they sell miniature versions of the Chaou Chocolatier bars; I'm absolutely obsessed with the maple bacon and spicy maya versions. At only a dollar a pop, it's totally worth indulging. In additional to truffles, caramels, and the like, they also offer a variety of funky treats -- chocolate covered gummy bears and chocolate covered potato chips, for instance. The latter are absolutely addictive. You can also buy decorative boxes to fill with candies from their glass case which would make a wonderful hostess, birthday, anniversary, or Valentine's Day gift. To top it all off, the associates that work there are incredibly friendly and are always willing to assist you, should you need it. read more

Picture if Veruca Salt won the Chocolate Factory instead of Charlie, and her incarnation of what a candy factory should look like would be Beacon Hill Chocolates. Now don't get me wrong, the staff here is super friendly and sweet (pardon the puns, I'm awful). It's the sophistication of this shop that would get the Salt seal of approval! For all of your indulgent cocoa needs, step inside this charming little store on the cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill. You'll be greeted with the addicting aromas of imported chocolates from all over the world, and several that are made in-house. My favorite is the adorable white mouse truffle, which is almost too cute to eat! Almost. They also carry every single flavor of Chuao Chocolates (a fancy candy bar brand that has everything from a Rocky Road bar with marshmallows to sparkling Firecracker bar with popping candy inside), which is impressive since I make it my life goal to collect them all. If chocolate isn't for you, they also have a small selection of non-chocolate candies, seasonal gelato in the summer, and cute souvenirs and trinkets lining every inch of the wooden walls. For a luxurious stroll in a chocolate heaven, this is a must-visit on your trip to Beacon Hill! read more

On this particular day, the blackboard in front of the store said, "A day without chocolate is like a day without sunshine." It was very sunny today. Beacon Hill Chocolates has a great chocolate counter with very interesting chocolates and confections. Equally interesting is the kitsch, such as the interesting cache of gift boxes in here as well as cards, gifts, novelties, and some brands of chocolate I'd never seen anywhere else. I really wanted to try some of the truffles and chocolates, but the line in front of the counter was too long. So instead I tried an interesting-looking chocolate bar, from a brand I've never seen anyplace else, Hammond's out of Denver, CO. It was a "Bee Pollen" dark chocolate bar, 65 percent dark chocolate, with bee pollen, and honey. It was okay, but the pollen and honey actually took something away from the rich taste of the dark chocolate. The people who work here are very enthusiastic and very appreciative of your patronage. Next time, I'll wait the extra couple of minutes to try their chocolates, maybe look at the kitsch some more if I need to wait for a line to die down. read more

Very very cute store and staff is very helpful! If you love cute things and/ or chocolate you should check it out.

My bff in DC coined the term "QAF" in our small circle of friends which stands for "Quaint as F..." well you get the point. And it perfectly describes Beacon Hill Chocolates. I came here as part of a food tour stop and was instantly in love. The store was wall to wall covered in treats and hand decorated gift boxes. Chocolate everywhere, along with gelato, espresso, and all sorts of candies. I was in heaven and could have easily spent another hour in here. I ended up spotting some dark chocolate cat truffles and had to get some from my coworkers. At more than $3 each it was definitely more than I usually spend on chocolates but I couldn't resist! The employee helping me even commented on how cute my box turned out with the last minute addition of a white chocolate mouse! If I'm back in Boston I will definitely be back to stare at that chocolate case and cutest vintage boxes you ever did see! read more

(09/25/2012) We received a box of assorted chocolates as a gift. The flavors are bold but not overpowering and really complement the chocolate (blood orange, mint, lavender, Bailey's, marzipan, caramel and sea salt, and the chocolates themselves beautiful works of art. The ganache is well-tempered, smooth, and glossy, melts at body temperature, ethereal, single sourced chocolates have various undertones in flavors for you to ponder (like fine wine). Can't comment on the store itself, but I would definitely treat myself to these if I was in Boston. (08/07/2013) FYI, had 10 additional photos of chocolates from our assorted box posted, but the owner asked me to remove them, apparently the pics were not up to their standards (I thought they were illustrative, but whatever, chocolates were still delicious). They do pay attention to detail, and apparently like to maintain control over all those fine details. read more

This is a very nice chocolate boutique on fancy Charles Street, which means that it's not the place to get a cheap chocolate fix. However, the thing about fine chocolate is that you only need to eat one piece at a time. Having worked at a Belgian chocolate shop in my university days, I can tell the difference between Hershey's and fine chocolates. If you try Leonidas (Belgian) milk chocolate, it will have a hit of coconut flavor in the aftertaste. The reason I'm a fan of this shop is because they have a large variety of chocolates and gift boxes. If you go into a small chocolate shop, it's usually because you need to buy a gift. I remember working at the chocolate shop in Toronto on Valentines day when the guys from the office would run in at 7 p.m., when we were sweeping up, and say "Sell me whatever you have or my wife will kill me!". I'm not sure if they get this kind of traffic on Charles Street but it's important for a chocolate shop to have nice gift boxes and they definitely do. I was also impressed by the customer service. She carefully packed my box and was knowledgable about what was in the chocolates. I wanted fresh creams and she knew exactly which ones to recommend. As some other reviewers said, the olive oil and sea salt piece was pretty unique and tasty. That's not a fresh cream, in case you're wondering. They also have some pieces with spice, in case you're into the sweet and spicy thing. You won't find anything here that has a cloyingly sweet center a la Russell Stover or Pot of Gold. The sweetest centers are probably the runny caramel ones. The location is pretty convenient to the red line - Charles/MGH stop. It's a short walk and a stroll on Charles Street feels like you're walking back in time because the store fronts are still old-looking. If I didn't have a groupon, I probably wouldn't have ventured to this place but I'm glad I did. read more

My mom really enjoyed the chocolate she got, and the box that it came in was very cool; worthy of keeping, certainly. read more

A trip to Boston is not complete for me without a stop at Beacon Hill Chocolates. When we discovered this quaint little shop a few years ago, I remember my husband and I being in a little bit of sticker shock. But I am sometimes OK wtih a little "overspending" when on vacation.. not to mention I have a vicious sweet tooth. Fortunately, what we found was that there was less "overspending" and more "you get what you pay for." Everything we've ever tried here has been an abundantly delectable treat. We've also learned that if we try to just have one chocolate per day when we bring our chocolates home we really savor each piece and make that "overspending" last a couple of weeks instead of just a few days. I can't wait for our next trip to Boston, but at least I know if I can't hold out, I can always order from them online! read more
