There's a major Chocolate scene here on Charles St in Boston's Beacon Hill area. I couldn't have been more excited when hubs noticed Beacon Chocolates after our hotel check out- so I looked up their deets before heading upstairs. My personal favorite is Passion Fruit. Period. But all the others I got were mouthwatering as well. They raise the bar alright with their left-field flavor combinations- such as Blood Orange Truffle, Citrus Rosemary, Mexican Mango, Olive Oil with Sea salt, Dusted Dark Chocolate Truffles and so many others. Unlike another chocolate shop I visited in the Berkshires that carry weak flavorings and artificial taste, folks at Beacon H. Chocolates, take their Chocolate seriously. So serious these aren't devoid of flavor. These are the type of Truffles you sit down with to savor individually and mindfully. Beacon Chocolates is totally a class act with exquisite flair. My $39, 12 piece box was wrapped up and tied elegantly. Eating them, was heaven.

Many people claimed that L.A. Burdick has the best hot chocolate in all of Boston and me being a…read morechocolate fiend I am, I have to give it a try. I got a small milk hot chocolate and it was very tasty! It was rich and decadent, but still had a good amount of sweetness. I also thought it was the perfect balance of being thick and still drinkable. If I lived in Boston, I would be frequenting this shop especially during the winter.

Yelp Review 2026 #216:…read more Call me a snob but I don't like American chocolates. They're too sweet, doesn't give you a nice thick mouthfeel and they smell funky. I heard L.A. Burdick has high standards when making their chocolates by hand - similar to chocolatiers in Europe. So, I bookmarked this place and followed them on social media. I learned this location has ice cream as well. I was shopping and walking along Boylston/ Newbury. Had dinner at a restaurant in the area and wanted to grab some chocolates from L.A. Burdick after. The map app had us walking along some shady alley that stunk of hot garbage and piss which made me wonder if it's even worth it. I get to the shop and swarms of World Cup fans also had the same idea to come here. They have a counter for chocolates, a counter for ice cream, and a dining area. I just had a big dinner with dessert so, my plan of getting ice cream had to be ixnayed. They have truffles, bon bons, drinking chocolate (in white, milk and dark), whole cakes, cake slices, cookies, linzer torte, fruit tart, and macarons/ Luxembourger. I got a box of chocolates. Some truffles and animal-shaped chocolates because I know those are their specialty and proudly handcraft. They're good - comparable to European chocolates. They put your selections in a box and wrap it up nicely and put it in a bag. So, it takes time. Be patient.

Läderach took over 34 of Godiva's leases in the U.S., after Godiva closed all of their brick & mortar locations. We tried a few of their chocolates but ended up going with the milk chocolate hazelnut to take home! Very delicious. I also got one of the truffles/bonbon to try: pralines pravé Trinidad and I'm excited to try it later. Our total was ~$16 for both items. They have a lot of options to choose from, which I love! Everything seems to be well made & tasty. One of my favorites we tried was a strawberry chocolate & seemed like they used real sun dried strawberries to make it. Highly recommend trying Läderach if you haven't yet!

The milk in their milk chocolate comes from cows in Hokkaido, Japan... and they use more milk and cream, in their chocolate, than any other chocolatier I know. The resulting product is milk chocolate that is so creamy... It literally MUST be refrigerated. The soil is very rich, in Hokkaido, Japan, making the grass grown there, for their cows, VERY nutrient dense. THAT is what makes their milk and cream some of the best in the world. The Royce Chocolates staff is consistently highly educated, both about Royce's history and chocolate in general. They will patiently answer all your questions. If you want to learn about chocolate, this is the place to do it. THE DEAL: if you want some of the best chocolate in Boston, you have to try Royce chocolates!

Honest thoughts: The cakes were indeed beautifully crafted, but $13 was overpriced. The cake quality didn't meet the steep price. The cafe was self-service and some furnitures were quite worn out. From their ig, I saw the price tag was ~$9 last year. It was aggressive to raise $4 within a year.....It would be more reasonable to charge at or under $10. ＊Autumn Leaf $13 * This seasonal special was my favorite. Spiced sponge and pecan crunch were wrapped inside the subtly sweet maple mousse, with a hint of banana flavor coming through midway. The spiced cake tasted like fall. ＊Geometric Apple $13 The geometric apple is their bestseller but I found the flavors didn't match well with one another. The outer layer was cheesecake mousse, while the center was filled with apple compote, caramel, and chocolate cake. The cake was quite sweet, and the sourness from apple put me off. The chocolate crunch inside was too hard to eat.

All of the layered flavors worked well together resulting in a delicious treat. $13 for one dessert is a splurge to me, but it was worth it. Service was fast and friendly. Would love to visit again and try a different item.
