Focused on all the classics plus a few seasonal specials suffice it to say the choice of Pierre Herme versus the competition is like choosing Vacheron Constatin over Rolex in that only the truly discerning will care, even though the difference in quality is evident.

In general, the macarons here display the right amount of sweetness, so when you're eating them, you won't feel them cloying your mouth. The macaron biscuit is fresh and crispy on the outside, while soft on the inside. I've had stale macarons before when I didn't know better and the offerings at Pierre Herme weren't. The flavors of the macarons set themselves apart from all others. They're quite unique and inventive. The creativity, while adventuresome, isn't going to confuse your taste buds to the point of frustration. I can't tell you my favorite flavor but the friend whom I bought macarons for the last time I visited: her favorite was the signature rose. Service is polite and patient. Yeah, it's weird that you have to buy a minimum of 7, but you'd want to buy more anyway, despite being rather pricey. The only drawback shopping here is that sometimes you have to deal with smug people that take up space at the counter and don't give a crap about anyone else. p.s. - why the heck isn't there a Pierre Herme in the States???

Quite expensive per Chocolate Bar or box of chocolates so I just took one of their "Traditional Toffee" Tins and made my way to the Jars of Assorted flavors of candies on the back wall. Word to the wise: Sample any of their candy before buying!! This Candy Shoppe opened in 1891 and every piece of candy taste like it was from this date! Horrible.. I spent HKD400 and they gave me a free bag of Gummy Candies. Great gesture but even these candies were stale and old! Such a great branding on a candy shop that hasn't update their candy in over 120 years...

I didn't realize this was a huge British chain since there's only one store here in HK. They really…read moredid do a good job of making it feel like an "old(e)" sweet shop(pe), with a dark wooden interior, glass jars of colourful confectionaries along the back wall, and having the word "handmade" mentioned on some of the candies so it makes you feel like you're picking something up from the neighbourhood candy man. Still, this is a nice choice if you're looking to treat yourself to something a little more special than the candies at 7-Eleven, but not looking to take out a small bank loan to finance some truffles at a high-end shop in Central (La Maison du Chocolat, anyone?) There's a good range of Mr Simms branded candies, along with other popular brands like Nerds. Overwhelmed? Try focusing on their fudge or chocolate truffle selection. Their caramel fudge is extremely sweet and delicious, and best if taken in small quantities if you want to avoid a sugar overdose. A 150g bag goes for $68. I've also tried a little of their dark chocolate truffle which is also delicious, though heads up- it does have a little bit of rum in it.

We came by to pick up the grandfather some more chocolate after we ate all of his at home. Agnes b. is located within IFC right next to all its other stores. The Delices is its confectionary arm and appears quite small but has a lot of choices. We got right to business and got a box of fudge with hazelnut inside. You can smell the chocolate emanating from the display cabinet. There were also other chocolate covered treats for those less interested in nut containing sweets. I'm not sure what the price breakdown ultimately is but for every amount of some predetermined amount of money, you get a plush rabbit too apparently. I was surprised to see one appear in my bag after purchase (clearly I purchased too much). The chocolate here is top notch. Smooth creamy and rich as you would expect for the prices that you are paying here!

Got the classic palmiers and almond sticks, although the macaroons, tea box and suite de chocolat looked good too. They let you sample the cookies to help you make your choice. However, the samples weren't set out. They seemed to bring them out on request - so ask if you don't see them. They accept credit cards and will process the transaction in US Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars - very convenient. Very kindly gave us extra gift bags as all of our purchases were gifts.
