We've frequented this cute shop for many years and always had a positive experience. Nice service and always excellent quality treats. I'm writing this review because we recently learned that a gift certificate we gifted as a holiday present expired. I wasn't aware it had a time limit, if I had know I would've thought twice about gifting from this establishment. It's embarrassing for us to give a gift that was ultimately unusable. I understand running a small business is challenging, but I wish I would've at least been made aware of their gift card policy in advance. read more

Well...they have beautiful desserts but ugly customer service. What is going on with service in the area these days, yikes! Anyhow, walked in and we were the only customers. No greeting, the lady behind the counter just walked up and started pulling desserts out as we were talking amongst ourselves and trying to decide on them, so felt a little rushed. Also, I guess they save the good boxed packaging for customers they like, so if you are offered styrofoam then that means you didn't make the list lol. The way we were stared at the entire time and rudely handed the receipt to sign after our purchase made the entire visit an uncomfortable vibe and as if we were being a bother. And just for future reference, yes please offer your customers a bag to carry multiple items they purchased, thanks. If you decide to stop in though, the white chocolate mousse was pretty tasty lol (that's what the one star is for, otherwise, it would be a zero for me). read more

We stumbled onto this place and so glad we did. If you like chocolate, this is the spot for you. They have not only chocolates but other pastries pies cakes all kinds of deliciousness the staff is very friendly and they even have a limited lunch menu, offering fresh in-house made salads like chicken salad on Croissants or other inspired bread. I tried the dark chocolate covered peanuts. They were delicious. My husband had a cream filled type doughnut. I forget the exact name of it but he said it was really good. Not too sweet but just sweet enough. I'll definitely keep this place in mind for giftgiving. They had a lot of things to choose from including wine to complement your dessert item, as well as a small limited amount of Souvenir type things! If you like the European inspired pastries give this small but cozy place a try. It is take out only I did not notice any seating inside but there was a lil outside! read more

First impressions mean a lot. No one greeted up, she just stared. Poor customer service and no engagement from staff...

If you're looking for amazing, delicious dessert, this is the place for it. I moved to Concord this summer and require a few things...a good coffee shop (there are tons), good pizza (that exists), and delicious dessert, I have found it!!!! I have tasted a few things, key lime tart (my husband's favorite and theirs does not disappoint), raspberry lemon tart - AMAZING, Oreo cheesecake - delicious, and a few other things. The staff is always super attentive and helpful, always willing to answer questions to help you decide. I will admit, they are pricy. I ordered a key lime tart for Thanksgiving, a small, and it was almost $40 with tax. It came out absolutely gorgeous (I told them they could be creative and do whatever they wanted with the top) but we could do with a simple pie for $20. I'm learning to make it now because I can't sustain my husband's addiction at that price. I would definitely still order from them for special events in the future though. They also sell wine, which we attempted to buy but were turned off by the selection. It seems they had some average wines, and then some pretty expensive ones but not a lot in the middle. My husband knows wine better than me and couldn't find one he wanted so we didn't buy it. He also said they weren't being stored correctly for the age of some of them, I'm clueless, maybe for the cork drying? Who knows, but go for dessert!!! read more

Beautiful little chocolatier/bakery in downtown Concord. What a great little shop! It was filled with yummy French pastries such as bread, scones and croissants. They had several cold cases filled with delicious treats which was a feast for the eyes and nose! The first case is filled with baked goods, such as chocolate ganache cake, apple tart and cheesecake. All looked beautiful as well as delicious. I had the chocolate ganache cake. The outside was enrobed with hard chocolate, but when you broke through the shell, you are rewarded with a moist chocolate sponge cake and a chocolate mousse. So good! The second case was filled with chocolates and truffles, all hand made and gorgeous! The third case featured many different flavors of macarons, in bunny shapes for Easter. So adorable! My recommendation is to go early so they aren't sold out of your favorites. I didn't get a croissant :( But I'll be back! read more

I went yesterday and got there about 12:30. I parked in 10 minute parking because I was running in. I had no idea what to get but I remembered a review on the chocolate mousse so I picked that, peanut butter tart, truffle lips, and strawberry filled truffles. My bill was $19.74 which was what I expected. Well worth the drive to Concord and price. All I can say delicious. I haven't tried the truffles because they are for friends. read more

Took my grandkids in to pick something nice for their mom and nana. The staff was very rude and not friendly at all. I was trying to keep my money local by supporting a local business. They were very clear they did not need my money so I will find another local business who would like the business. Good riddance. read more

Love everything I have ever had from this place. If you love Tiramisu, I highly recommend having them make you one of the cakes. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the prices are reasonable. I also appreciate all of the items they have in the cases, and seldom walk out with only the cake I ordered. read more

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a great French Bakery, and Chocolatier Barrucand definitely delivers in that regard. I love it when I come across places like this, and I'm almost ashamed to say that after living in Concord from age 3-25, I only stumbled across the cute little store just this past Saturday. After a quick trip to the Library across the street, I initially gave Barrucand a quick glance and kept walking. But then about two seconds later I stopped in my tracks and backpedaled to the front of the shop, it was the "bon vivant" sign outside that grabbed my attention, so I had to go inside. The store is warm, cozy, and intimate. A selection of wine is found to the left and the rest is pastries and confections. Everything from beautiful macrons, hand-dipped truffles, canoli, cakes, and tarts. A few things that caught my eye were the Chocolate Mousse round and the Double Fudge Raspberry Cake. I kind of impulse grabbed a few mini cannoli as well because they were just so dang cute. I got them home to find my wife was too preoccupied to indulge, but that wasn't going to stop me! For starters, the Double Fudge Raspberry Cake is dense, very dense. Perhaps almost too dense, but very rich and the raspberry provided a nice sweet bite that cut the chocolate, which was as luscious as sin. The chocolate mousse is a technical marvel with an incredibly fine grain in the mousse, giving it this amazing smoothness, while still being so rich. The perfectly shaped round is then coated in this impossibly thin 'shell' of high-quality chocolate, and then decorated with a white chocolate piping design. The cannoli here are really special as well. I tend to steer clear from them most of the time because they just aren't given the TLC that they deserve to stand out as a star around here. Barrucand has definitely broken the disappointing Cannoli streak I've had lately. Golden brown little tubes of dough that have such a crispy texture, with an outstandingly smooth, flavored ricotta filling. They finish them off with a 'kiss' of that amazing chocolate. It's remarkable, perhaps better described as a work of art. Can't believe I'm saying this, but all things considered, they have Amélie's beat. Yeah, I'm sure of it, this little place is the perfect intersection of passion, love, technique, and flavor. I need more of this in my life, and while I don't get to downtown Concord often, this amazing little shop is going to have me coming back on it's own accord. Merci beaucoup , à plus!! read more

Best chocolates and cheesecakes in the area. It's a small location that's been family owned and operated for years. Iv always had great and friendly service here. My favorites are the Oreo Cheesecake, Rum Cake, flourless chocolate cake and definitely the cannolis. Don't hesitate to give this place a try. read more

Small but pleasant shop in the middle of Concord was the first of several interruptions of my quest for the silver ball. Was expecting to see the standard display cases full up with chocolatey morsels and confections but found several cases containing baked goods :-( Cakes, tarts, puffs, and macaron are fine and good but more in line with my understanding of baker-ing than chocolatier-ing. In the ensuing confusion I purchased two small choco-peanut butter buttons and a key lime tart. I tucked into the tart when I got home and am happy to report finding pale yellow filling smiling out from under the powdered sugar as key limes are wont. The cake-lettes spent some time in the microwave and when I got into them the following afternoon the peanutty and chocolate frostings were soft and flavorful on moist cakes. Who wants to pretend that I took time to savor the delicate interplay of scents and tastes, the mix of flavours and textures? and who thinks I just snarfed them down with a glass of cold milk and pronounced them 'small but tasty'? read more

I was dropping the city and wanted something sweet and this place delivered with its assortments! I got the eclair (~$3) and macarons ($1.85 each) and they were both delicious! I think the eclair is definitely a must get and was what the server recommended. I wanted to get a Creme puff but they're apparently only sold on some days and they're announced on their Facebook page so definitely check that out since they sell out really fast! If you're in town and craving some sweets, this place will hit the spot read more

Sadly this place is getting a middle of the road review, simply because of their service. I took my kids in here a couple days ago and they had fun looking at all the cute pastries and chocolates. I was looking for something to try and my kids were looking at the pastries and pointing to their favorite ones, touching the glass. The lady working rudely yelled across the whole store, "Don't touch the glass!" I just stared at her a little confused and shocked that she yelled at them instead of either asking them nicely or asking me to ask them nicely to stop touching the glass if it was really that important. Wow. They were not being loud, obnoxious or messing anything up. I'm guessing she didn't want to clean up any fingerprints but geez, way to take the joy out of a chocolate shop. She may have saved herself a few minutes cleaning up a few finger prints but she lost us as customers. We did try a piece of chocolate and it was fine. Not worth coming back for. read more

This is a lovely little shop. They have a great variety of pastries, chocolates and baked goods.

Best source for cakes, ever! The things they can do with chocolate will blow you away.

Very disappointed. Went in to buy a nice box of chocolates I spent $20 as a gift for someone and ended up with a bunch of chocolate sloppily thrown into a cardboard box. The presentation was horrible and really took away from the chocolate. I didn't really feel it was gift-worthy after seeing how they threw it in that box like that. See my picture read more

Nestled in the historic Concord district on Union Street, this wonderful spot to enjoy chocolate and SO many pastries and beverages is a must see! My most recent visit was during the Concord Art Walk this weekend and once again, I was not disappointed. Dark chocolate is not my favorite typically, but at the Chocolatier it is SO creamy and flavorful that it is a must have! This time we sample the Dark Chocolate and Key Lime Truffle, dark and white chocolate molded pieces and dark chocolate toffee bark and they were SO yummy! I recommend a visit to sit and eat chocolate and sip coffee or your beverage of choice if you are in the Concord area, or even if you're not - this spot is worth the trip! Take in some of the wonderful shops in the area while you're there too! read more

Best gingerbread cookies. Beautiful pastries. Love getting and receiving the chocolates.

We have friends that recommended us to come here for our wedding cake. When we visited, the person who spoke with us was not very helpful and was very rude. In my honest opinion it's not very professional to have no information to give to potential clients as far as flavors you offer, sizes, or even examples to see. There was nothing. When asked about flavors the response was "we do them all" and when asking about examples of cakes they have done for others the response was "look on Facebook"... the only thing that was helpful to me was the way we were treated made it extremely easy for me to decide this place would not be getting our business. I posted this exact review on Facebook and the owner was confrontational with her responses back. read more

The eclairs are our all time favorite. We have tried a lot of desserts and while some became our favorite, we have never been disappointed in any of them. So the quality here is consistent. We first discovered the place back in 2008 and were astonished we did not have to travel to Paris to enjoy such desserts! Our best wishes to the owners! read more
