They have become one of my go-to gifts and people always gush about them. The hazelnut praline in particular is absurdly good. All of them are. Definitely I'm obsessed. The mousse is rich and decadent. I get one to share with my two kids and it's just right. The brownies are fudgy and dense but have real quality dark chocolate taste, not at all too sweet. The hot or iced chocolate, depending on the season, beats Burdick's IMO for the best chocolate drinks in town-- it is that same European style thick decadence and the freshly made whipped cream (often with a little accent like lavender or nutmeg) puts it way way way over the top. Any Boston area chocolate lover who hasn't been to this shop yet really needs to rethink their life and get their priorities in order.

I was so sad they didn't have mousse au chocolat noir en cornet cacao, but we tried the cookie and…read moremoelleux au chocolat avec glace au miel salé (chocolate lava cake with ice cream) I love that it wasn't too sweet, something I have a hard time finding at dessert places. The chocolate lava cake takes around 15 min to make. The size is similar to the lava cakes you see at somewhere like chilis. I honestly thought it was pretty similar to a cake at chilis besides it being less sweet. The ice cream we chose was salted honey (I think, can't remember exactly besides it being salty). The ice cream paired very well with the cake, but it came in such a tiny cup. It was the size of the cups you get at the dentist to rinse. Actually, it might be even smaller than that. The cookie was a standard chocolate chip cookie. Nothing to run to, so I don't think it was worth the $6. Just warm up a Market Basket cookie and you'd have the same effect. Honestly, this place was good, but not worth the price. However, I didn't get to try the mousse so maybe that's worth it

It was so yummy. Not too overly sweet, but sweet enough--and nice and airy. Plus the powered sugar on top was chefs kiss. Perfect sweet treat on a beautiful day. Check them out!

They aren't open super late either so check the time online before going. Apparently this place gets busy around the holidays and I can see why.

I'm excited to try their other delectable options!
