Stumbled up Beacon Hill Chocolates randomly after moving into the neighborhood. The lady at the counter, who I assumed was going to be snobby, was super down to earth, very very very knowledgable about the treats, and friendly. Gets pricey but they really are perfect. Worth it. People I am sure buy a box or two as gifts but this place for me is a great after dinner treat stop. You can buy as few as one sweet treat and there is NO minimum purchase for CREDIT CARDS or Debit cards. Thats enough reason for me to stop in weekly. TRY their signature i think its Marie chocolate. Also, trust me, try the sea salt and olive oil chocolates. Yummy and artisan. read more

Nice little store with all kinds of chocolates. People were not too friendly but nothing out of ordinary for Boston :) The prices were a little high but I think it is a good place to buy gifts. The smell was not chocolate store smell though! read more

the chocos are great, but for realz-- GET THE WHITE CHOCOLATE COVERED OREO COOKIE! that was amazing, and the best, among the other 7 or 8 things I tried. the prices are high to give this 5 stars. read more

No gamble chocolates here! I got a few boxes for my birthday yesterday & so far every single one has been beautiful & delicious. The chocolates came in three beautiful heirloom boxes that everyone at work "ooh"ed and "aah"ed over. I look forward to every single piece. read more

I only went there because of a Groupon. I picked out an assortment to share w/ friends. I figured it'd be no better or worse than any other place. Wow. Was I wrong! They have a huge assortment of top quality goods. The staff was friendly & helpful despite them being very busy. If you're not familiar w/ the area & how best to access Charles St. it can be annoying getting there, but if you do, it'll be well worth it. read more

My girlfriend and I discovered this place just by chance when we were exploring Beacon Hill and boy were we in for a treat! The chocolates here are a bit pricey, but they're definitely worth it! I even order things from them online and ship it to where I live in Ohio today! These are top quality items and the staff is super helpful and the owner Paula is amazing and very detail oriented! If you're looking for gift to get a chocolate lover... get them one of the assortments or a gift box. They won't be disappointed and neither will you! read more

I love their chocolates! They offer a very unique selection of artfully crafted chocolates. An example of some of the more unique selections are the lavender truffle, the "haiku" (which is a sweet green tea ganache), root beer float, bacon caramel, and so many more. I'll definitely be going back to try more. Yes, it is pricey but the quality and craftsmanship are worth it--they are like little pieces of art. read more

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

This is such a delightful shop and a shop who I thank for creating my wedding gift boxes for the guests! Not only does Beacon Hill create and serve a delicious chocolate, but they also serve it in an adorable packaging! The staff here is wonderful to work with and worked with me in Arizona to create my wedding gift boxes. I highly recommend this adorable shop! read more

HORRIBLY RUDE and SHADY. I was so excited to hand select truffles and boxes for two of my good friends and went to Beacon Hill Chocolates. I was in the process of gladly paying the outrageous $45 for 2- small boxes (12 pcs total) when my boyfriend and I were asked if we wanted some hot chocolate while we waited. We happily said yes and I was very impressed with the nice holiday gesture UNTIL we got charged $3/pc for the tiny cups. There are no beverage prices posted anywhere in the store. When I mentioned, hey we thought this was complimentary? "We were told that we shouldn't ask for anything we don't want to pay for." Wow, talk about rude. I will not be returning to this shop employed by greedy, rude people. Just say no. read more

I walked in here, saw the prices and nearly walked back out. But, because my birthday as the next day, I stayed, I meandered, I became convinced that just this once, it was ok to spend half my life savings on chocolate, hey it was my birthday. Well....ok, maybe it wasn't really half my life savings and I guess it wasn't technically my birthday either, but, at these prices, unless you are very well off and don't walk out instantly after seeing the tariff, you will also find yourself staring longingly into the display cases at the gorgeous chocolates inside coming up with all sorts of far fetched reasons why it's ok....just this one time.... 24 dollars and 12 chocolates later, I can't say I regret this moment of weakness one iota. I love chocolate. I'm also very picky. Godiva doesn't have enough flavor for me and I always regret it after paying a slightly high price for a Godiva bar in a desperate moment. These chocolates are gorgeous. They look like little pieces of jewelry in a museum behind the glass case. The flavors sound trendy, which made me a little stand offish as well. How many times have I eaten a poorly executed hot pepper dark chocolate? But, I took my chances and had a lot of fun choosing from the many flavors. And then I tried them. Oh. My. God. I can honestly say that I haven't ever tasted anything like these chocolates, which is saying a lot, since I normally eat chocolate every day of my life(seriously). My favorites of the ones I tried were the curry coconut ball and the olive oil sea salt chocolate. The curry coconut one was white chocolate and curry in a small snowball shape coated with coconut. I wasn't sure this would be the best taste or consistency in the world, but wow. Wow. It was amazing. The sea salt olive olive one was just as mind blowing. It was a rich, dense dark chocolate with a sprinkling of sea salt. The most amazing thing about this hot chocolate was that despite the strong chocolate flavor, there was the prominent, concentrated taste of extra virgin olive oil. And somehow, the chocolate wasn't even oily or greasy. I had no idea this was possible and I was very impressed. Apparently, they have a website you can order off of. And honestly, if someone were getting married or had a baby or just got inaugurated as president of the United States I would. In fact, I plan to one day, because they are just that good. All that said however, the prices pain me. Also, if you want to add a fancier, though no larger, looking chocolate to your box, you will be charged almost two dollars extra....for that one piece. These chocolates may be as close to god as I'm ever getting, but at the end of the day, yes, it's still only chocolate. So, sadly, for this I have removed one star. read more

I've both been the bestower, and recipient, of these chocolates. First of all, the taste is unparalleled. I think there's no other place in Boston (even LA Burdick) that come close to the taste and presentation. However, you will pay for this luxury, and the staff is pretty stringent on how many pieces fit into a certain box. (If you get two or three big chocolates that take up a whole 4-piece box, they won't really help you out at all in getting that extra piece in there. Or they will, but will be grumpy about it). I think the 4-piece box was about $10 or $12. The Boston souvenir boxes are pretty, but sooo expensive (if I remember correctly, cost somewhere around $30). Service is hit or miss -- some ladies behind the counter are more friendly and patient than others. But, my family loves receiving (and the boyfriend gave me a huge box of these for my birthday, which gave him some serious brownie points). read more

scrumptious chocolates truffels. I am a big fan of the dark chocolate and they had a great selection. Taye was very nice and helpful!

I bought two boxes of chocolates here, one for our house sitter and one for us. Both boxes made it safely to Maine and then home to Chicago and tasted just as wonderful as the day we bought them. (I know because I decided to sneak a piece right after I purchased them.) The flavors are unique without being unappetizing. I really loved the lemon meringue and the lavender truffle. The root beer flavor wasn't to my favorite, but was still good. The saleswoman was friendly and helped me navigate the many choices they offered. Personally, I think they are a bit pricy. Delicious though, this is why they are absolutely deserving of 4 stars. read more

3.6 (Rounded down) i loooooove (drooool) gourmet chocolate. Never been one for the Hershey's Bar (bleh), but love those uber-exotic truffles... Okay, first of all.... this place is way overpriced. I mean, when the woman told me that a square inch of chocolate was $4.00 I nearly plotzed! Because this place is around the corner, I go there once in a while, but the selection really isn't what it could be and the prices are way more than they should be.... Bottom line: Vosgeschocolate.com read more

Adorable chocolate shop only blocks from the Charles/MGH T stop. While the chocolate lollipops are great quality (my nephew loved his!) the stuff in the glass case is not so hot. Same story goes for the pick-your-own candy selection. Actually, the more that I think about it, stick with the stuff that is NOT made in-store and you should be all set. Stay away from the miniature ducks and robin's eggs. Neither seem to be made with fantastic quality cacao. Extra points for good service and nice ambiance. Minus a bunch for pricey sweets and so-so homemade chocolate. read more

The owner of the shop got in touch with me via Yelp with an apology. She also sent me a box of chocolates. This was beyond my expectations. It is clear that the owner takes her business seriously and values her customers' experience at her shop. Beacon Hill Chocolates are beautifully crafted and delicious so I will definitely return. read more

This is based on Service as I live in California. I wanted to send a special gift to someone in the Boston area. I found Beacon Hill on the Internet. It was a new website and I had so many choices, that I forgot to send a message with the gift. Within minutes of my order, I received a response to my E-mail. A very personal friendly reply to all my last minute requests. Paula even helped me select the perfect box, although I had already made the order, she allowed me time to make last minute decisions before shipment. Can't get any better than that for Long-Distance service. read more

Beautiful shop! Once again an adventure through Boston thanks to our GPS system. Beautiful shop out of a European village. One complaint the coffee was terrible; well it is a chocolate shop after all. I had envisioned a cup of rich and thick hot chocolate but when I saw the automated brew machine my heart sank. I opted for the coffee instead of the chocolate. Sad to say it was probably the worse cup of java I have had here since I arrived. On the other hand the Sel del Mare caramels took that sting out right away! read more

I had a coupon for $20.00 worth of goodies and was treated very respectfully by the clerk. On the positive side, everything I had was good, and the clerk was polite and answered all of the questions that I had. But I can't say that I will be back. The prices are too high. The chocolates were good, but they were not the most amazing chocolates I have ever had. For my certificate, I was able to get 2 chocolate s'more marshmallows, 2 chocolate-covered oreos (those were the best!), 1 chocolate pretzel, and a Vosges Black Salt Caramel bar. Not a lot for 20 bucks! read more

Beacon Hill Chocolates is a lovely place - that makes their own chocolate and gelato. There are all kinds of chocolate - white, milk, dark, - also a wide selection of chocolates with a variety of fillings. They also have many unique little boxes that you can choose from to put the chocolates in if you are getting gift for someone - or if you just happen to love decorative looking boxes. Delicious in every way, clean and very organized. read more

I don't understand whether the people who said they had received poor customer service met the two nice, young ladies who were working at BHC when I came in, but I have to say that I feel like I received pretty exceptional customer service. I came in not at all knowing what direction I wanted to go in (in terms of which truffles I wanted), and the young woman who was helping me (auburn hair) came up with some great ideas within the parameters I gave her. On top of that, she was extremely friendly, and we had a nice, very brief back and forth chat while she was packing my boxes. I saw the way that the other young lady was interacting with the other customers, and I'm pretty sure that they also received the same level of respect and service. Overall, great customer service, and great chocolates. I'm very pleased. read more

OMG.. I got a box of 12 truffles as a gift from my lovely boy last week. Every one of them tasted choco-riffic, and I'd punch your mother in the face to get to them. Especially the dark chocolate raspberry... or the mojito... I love my BF!! read more

Surly staff and a selection not nearly as impressive as LA Burdick. No thanks.

Maybe I am just spoiled because I have gone to many chocolate shops that make it on location but this place is essentially a middle man of which it's evident you're paying the markups. My friend and I went to a tasting and definitely didn't get our money's worth in chocolate especially since the caramel filled one tasted more like burnt sugar. I am not one to say no to chocolate but I was disappointed. The person leading he tasting didn't have much knowledge of the chocolate making process never mind the individuality of all the different suppliers. I am sure I could have found more things I enjoyed but he didn't have the knowledge to express what might be good for my palette. I don't think I would go back because there are so many other small shops that can cater better to what I am looking for with more insight into the products they sell. read more

great selection of chocolates but thats it. Not really special but not bas either. I would choose La Burdick than this one for sure

The selection is great and the set-up with boxes makes a great place to find a personalized gift for any kind of chocolate lover. I checked this place out as the first stop of a chocolate tour and it was a great place to get the party started. The root beer filled chocolate was poppin' all sweet and creamy... took me back to the last time I had a rootbeer floa..mmm... floats, gtg! read more

This is a great little chocolate shop with a huge selection of artisan chocolates imported from all around the world. They offered a much smaller selection of local chocolates, which is what I was mostly looking for. I ended up picking out a small selection of loose truffles/bonbons from their candy case and grabbed a couple Yes! Chocolate Bars. Although everything was delicious, the Caramel Marshmallow Sushi and Gianduja & Caramel Truffles were my favorites. The prices are a bit high, at about $2.50 - $3 a truffle, but with the price you get an exceptionally high quality product. read more

These chocolates are amazing, yet spendy. The salted caramel and ice cream cone were my favorites. The woman working wasn't friendliest. When I asked what she recommended she gave me the line about how different people have different taste (no kidding?), but I'm just going to overlook that. I loved these chocolates. I may have to place and order to be shipped to me in the future. read more

Great store and awesome stuff to choose from... Definitely not the kind of items you find @ any other place...

Great place to buy little gifts for relatives! There is something for everyone young and old.... and i def recommend the spicy chocolate bars! read more

This is my first review but I just received a basket sent from this boutique as a gift and it is just lovely. I received it safely packed away in a box lined with ice-packs to ensure that none of the pieces were melted or damaged in anyway. The actual basket is gorgeous and the chocolate is to die for. I am in love with the caramel sushi and cannot wait to get to Boston so that I can see this shop for myself. Highly recommend for those who want to send something that is going to make the receiver feel extra special. read more

I agree with an earlier reviewer and wish I had heeded their warning. This place should be called snooty asshole chocolates. I ordered a box of chocolates and a gift card for a friends birthday. They prepared the gift like it was a Christmas gift. When I called to bring this to their attention the women from Beacon Hill Chocolates said in a totally rude tone "I am glad she got her chocolates, what do you want me to do?". I replied "fix it". It was obvious to me that they did not want to correct their mistake so I hung up. I will not be calling back or placing any future orders. read more

French Macarons: they were a little chewy and sticky to the teeth. The egg shell like crust was perfect but the inner layer was not light and airy enough. The filling/ganache in the center was a bit too sweet but very smooth and was true to the intended flavor. Overall,not too bad. $2/each was reasonable as they were also pretty big, at least 3-4 inches in diameter. read more

Outstanding and artistic chocolates. Friendly staff, and very fast shipping. Lifetime customer here.

My grandson, and I were walking a long Charles street last Saturday, and I saw this tasteful chocolates store. We danced my way in, and was greeted by a short dark haired girl with beautiful big earrings. She was very nice, and she was very helpful. She had all these suggestion for chocolate ( which was great because there is so many tasty ones to choose from). Another thing that was great, was that my grandson and I were speaking Swedish to one another, and the girl knew what we were saying! It's always nice when you see young people being cultured, and informed. I would recommend this place for gifts, or just a special treat! read more

Toffee chocolate shaped liked little eggs was ok, $5 for a small bag of like 10.

Love this shop! Great selection of bonbons as well as other chocolate and candies. And the boxes for the chocolates would make a fantastic gift! I often sneak in here during my lunch break for a treat. Shop owner is very nice and staff super friendly. read more

So disappointed. I hadn't been to BHC in about 2 years, but once back in Boston I couldn't wait to get some of their world-famous chocolate/caramel/marshmallow "sushi rolls". Unfortunately, they were no where near as good as I remembered. The rolls looked sloppy and tasted stale. They were crooked, different sizes, and the marshmallow was broken/crackled on top -- just unappetizing -- looked like a child made them. And clearly something did go wrong with the marshmallow because it tasted funny. Too bad. They used to have something that was unique and worth a special trip .... no more. read more

I walked into this store for the first time yesterday and it was the most unique chocolatier experience I've witnessed in Boston thus far!! The employees are incredibly kind, patient, and willing to answer all your chocolate questions. They have choices between beautiful, standard gift boxes, and more memorable keepsake chocolate boxes that have a unique Victorian theme to them and are based on postcards preserved by the Boston Public Library that the store has exclusive rights to that you cannot get anywhere else! The designs are absolutely wonderful, charming, and for any occasion. The chocolates alone that you can choose from to go in the boxes are too pretty to eat. They are handpicked by the owner from places in France and Belgium. The price is worth it! This would make a wonderful gift to a loved one and would support a truly unique Boston business that deserves all the praise they can get. read more

Service was horrible. Having stood in line for a few minutes, the woman working in the store ignored me and helped the person standing behind me. There was no acknowledgement of my presence in line. This store doesn't deserve my business. read more
