Passionfruit, key lime and hazelnut truffles + hot chocolate with spiced rum
Danielle D.

This shop made me feel like I was in Reykjavik or Copenhagen, and the founder is Swedish. The aesthetic is so cool and the chocolates are fantastic. They also offer cocktails and spiked hot chocolates. I tried the one with rum and it was so good! Perfectly blended and not too sweet. The shop offers an impressive variety of truffles with traditional and creative flavor combinations. They also sell chocolate bars in a variety of flavors, hot chocolate mixes and even chocolate and peanut butter bars that look similar to protein bars. An essential stop on any visit to Beacon!

I've never been a huge chocolate fan, but after visiting Hakan Chocolatier, I think I've finally tasted good chocolate. The employee who worked there gave me a sample of their dark chocolate truffle which was melt in your mouth delicious. I've never tasted a truffle that good!! She also told me it was dairy free which was amazing for me. Each and every one of their chocolates looked to be carefully crafted and delicate, it was hard not to admire them. They all had a beautiful luster to them, and it just looked delicious. The shop is pretty big, and there were tables and seats as well as a glass window allowing people to view their kitchen. The interior reminded me a bit of a rock themed shop and it was really welcoming. Hakan is located further down from the metro-north, so it's about a 7-10ish minute walk, but it's a beautiful town so the stroll down to the shop is very relaxing. I got their dark chocolate, one was a bit higher in cocoa and the other a bit lower- the 50-70% cocoa tasted much better so I recommend getting that instead!

The shiny chocolates are literally a work of art! Genuine respect for the chocolatiers at this establishment! The coffee is spectacular as well! Special shoutout to: Shadoe Tegan Cleveland Kate

Stopped here on my way to my great aunt's 90th birthday event. The place is so nice cool vibe, I could totally see poetry readings, or jazz being played there (it wasn't but a girl can dream). The older gentleman that assisted me was very pleasant. I picked out multiple chocolates that build their smallest box which holds nine. I also picked up protein bars for my best friend and some dark chocolate and a no sugar protein bar for my great aunt. Matcha was amazing, I also had one that was sour on the outside and sweet on the inside as soon as you get into it it exploded in your mouth. It was soooooooo good. I see why my best friend raves about this place. The next time I'm in New York, I'm making another visit here and purchasing enough to hold me for at least six months. I've purchased 13 protein bars, nine bonbons, and a bar of dark chocolate with cardamom and my total came out to around $126. Money well spent.

Super vibed out layout. I love the lone leather couch, and neon sign. The chocolates are prepared in house, and their kitchen is open to view as you order and/ or wait for your beverage order. I ordered an extra hot almond hot chocolate because the weather was perfect for it. The counter person was patient as a choose my single chocolate truffle. Nye' shot some photographs as I enjoyed my Hot Chocolate at a quaint little window seat. Definitely worth a try if you are in this Beacon neighborhood.

Hakan is a genius - you must try a bonbon! I went here everyday I visited Beacon - that is how good the chocolate is here. The staff are super nice and friendly. I highly recommend the Quake, but you can't go wrong with any of the choices. I love the giant window where you can see the chocolate being made. The shop is chic and feels luxurious.

I came here on the Eat Beacon crawl but I wish I had checked this place out ages ago! As an all around chocolate fan, the chocolate "bombs" here are really good. If you need a gift for someone or just want to treat yourself, it's worth checking out!

Absolutely great coffee; pastries baked in house. And of course the chocolates are amazing. I've also had their sandwiches and they are fresh and delicious on fresh baked bread. This place is a gem. Friendly service too. Owner is Swedish and he knows what he is doing.

This place... so worth the stop! Suoer nice people that own and work there. Everything I've eaten here is amazing.. and I eat a lot!!

My favorites from the variety I got was Dragon's breath: not too sweet, I can taste the dark choc with habanero finish. Raspberry bomb: this is the first chocolate I tried and I like it the most! There's a perfect balance of sweet , bitterness from dark chocolate and fruitiness from the raspberry with a hint of rosemary. I'll buy this again. Sakura: I didn't like the harmony of whiskey and chocolate in my palate. Sorry, but I prefer my yamazaki clean! Yuzu licorice: unsure if I like licorice but I gambled for this cuz I love yuzu. Surprisingly, it was yummy, licorice was not too strong. Soursop: I love soursop and this one didn't disappoint me. Passion fruit: this is my favorite fruit on earth. However, I find this passion fruit filled chocolate too sweet and lacking tartness. Tamarind cardamom: the cardamom took over the whole choc experience, I was expecting it to have more tamarind tartness. Red currant: taste like a normal truffle to me. I also got the white chocolate bar but didn't get to taste it yet.

TLDR: one of my favorite sweet experiences of 2022. Can't wait to come back up for another Sakura truffle or cardamom bun! Went to beacon with a group of friends just to get out of the city for a weekend and happened to stumble across this place on the first day. I ended up coming here three days in a row because I loved it so much. I tried every truffle over the three days and while I loved every single one, my favorites were the Sakura, kalamansi cardamom, quake, and goat cheese. I think the star of hakan for me was actually the cardamom bun. I typically get cardamom buns frequently in the city and Hakan's was the best cardamom bun I've had. Overall, loved this place, service was friendly and I hope to return again.

I am so happy to live near Beacon as I stumbled upon this gem of a chocolate store during my birthday celebration. My husband took me to get their famous hot chocolate and sweets; I never heard of this place and immediately was blown away by the hospitality of the staff, aroma of fresh chocolates and the vintage decor. This place gets packed very quickly so I suggest going at an early time, I arrive around 2pm and it wasn't packed. I can see why it's so popular and even on social media. We ordered the classic hot chocolate drink and it melts in your mouth. The fuzzy, warm feeling immediately kept me happy during these cold, brisk walks. My husband got a mocha and he's not a coffee person but immediately enjoyed the drink. As for the sweets, we got the Macadamia Delight, Dragons Breath, Gingerbread and Sour Soursop which were all amazing. I cannot wait to go back to try different sweets and cookies! It's expensive but it's worth the price as it's all made fresh in house.

The magic factory of chocolate art
Darren G.

Causally walking past here and wanted to try the artisan delights and was not disappointed, flavor combinations I never thought I would see existed, and man each bite was like journey through the universe of chocolate unbounded by imagination. The chocolate itself really does look so pretty when I was deciding on what I wanted, they looked like marbled pieces of glass art with designs and shine.

Was in Beacon visiting friends recently, and stopped by this lovely speciality shop right on Main…read moreStreet. Looking for the perfect marshmallow for the hot chocolate board I was preparing, HVMC definitely came in clutch. They have a variety of graham crackers and drink mixes and, of course, marshmallows. They do have a selection of drinks to choose from in store as well. My friend opted for a hot chocolate and truthfully, she wasn't impressed. But she did help me narrow down my marshmallow choices and I ended up walking away with a salted caramel variety. Even if caramel isn't my favorite sweet, these marshmallows were excellent. Plush and tender, with a not to overwhelming caramel taste to them. My entire party devoured them over their cups of hot cocoa. Honestly, well worth the price imo. And considering the variety, I look forward to trying their other creations!

They also have seating and make different types of S'mores and beverages for in store eating. There were at least two inside tables that I remember. I had an iced chocolate beverage and two S'mores from a couple of S'mores flights that my family shared. The S'mores were well constructed and looked good. I had one with a French Toast vibe and one with chocolate graham crackers and strawberry and vanilla marshmallows. Both were good. The store was very nice. Service was OK. Nothing bad, but the one person out front lacked the enthusiasm and engagement that would take your experience in a specialty store like this to the next level. 4.25 Stars
