I came here to try the viral soft serve and it was worth all the hype! The flavors available on the day i came were chocolate and maple, we did a chocolate maple swirl - it was so light, fluffy, and creamy! Topped with some fun (and a good quantity) of swedish candy. The worker there was so sweet and helpful! She let us try flavors before hand and even asked if we had specific candy preferences for our topping!

The candy selection is always great but the soft serve is unreal! I got the vanilla and maple twist. Highly recommend!

Madeleine's is such a fun Swedish candy shop (now with a little soft serve window a couple doors down!!). I've been visiting here since they opened and I've found everything to be clean and relatively reasonably priced. The staff are also incredibly friendly. Keep in mind that this store is very small, so it can feel very crowded depending on the time/day you visit. If you are a fan of soft serve style ice cream, I do recommend checking out Madeleine's, as it's very tasty and portions are large (I ordered the smallest size!)

This is a lovely new addition to the south end, and Boarding Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. Madeleine's features candy imported from around the world. I took away one star ONLY because it appears to be fairly recognizable chocolates and gummies. Of all the candy they offer, most famous is by "BUBS," which includes Banana Caramel Ovals, Tutti Frutti Foam Diamonds and Licorice Skulls. These are famously difficult and expensive to obtain, requiring FDA forms, and a customs broker. THE DEAL: when you want to try a new kind of sweet treat, stop by and see what's popular Internationally!

TLDR: Great selection of candy and sweets, but the swedish candy comes prepackaged. Expect it to be on the pricier side. They also have soft serve, which is both delicious and more reasonably priced. Super beautiful space, and super nice employees! -- I frequently visit this candy shop at least once a week as it's the only way to get my steps in this winter (I live in southie, so I make the commute by foot) AND because my sweet tooth practically compels me to spend an exorbitant amount of money on swedish candy. So, I feel like I have formed a strong opinion about Madeleine's. First, it's colorful, it's beautiful, and it's incredibly welcoming with the way they have been decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Feels like I'm in Stars Hallows. They always have a new candy of the week to try for free at the counter, which is also a fun way of distracting me as I tap my card again and again for a (10 dollar) baggie of bubs. Yes, ten dollars for a baggie of PRE-packaged swedish candy. That's where this place loses its star. Week to week the mix of candy can change, and often times I'm left with candy that I don't really want. But is it worth it as a midweek pick me up? Yes, sometimes. BUT they also added a soft serve window that rotates flavors by the seasons (maple is my favorite), and you have the option to add a generous amount of bubs for only $2. The ice cream is much more reasonably priced. That makes a visit here worth it. This place is a must-stop in the south end area if you have a sweet tooth but expect it to be on the pricier side.

Pay by weight

Swedish candy grab bag is at the front! I didn't love the selection they had and it was expensive compared to the other international candy they had that was pay by weight. Self serve, good experience. Street parking.

Take gummy candy, dress it up with clever marketing and this the result. The store is beautiful,…read moreclean looking. All gummy candy is package into fancy plastic cubes. Flavors are more upscale than your normal store bought gummy. Flavors we got include rose, champagne, peach Bellini and vanilla latte. Check the box and these say non-alcoholic. Even though some are alcohol flavored, the saleslady said the alcohol is cooked off in the cooking process. The gummy is harder than what I prefer and some of the flavors like the rose and champagne taste like regular gummy bears. The price is for the brand , not necessarily for what you get. The small cubes are ~$8 each. The larger cubes are around $25 each. However, they do have a great promos and a very good loyalty program. We were there the day after valentines and their valentine cubes were buy 3 get 2 free. In addition, they had a Presidents' Day promo - spend $30 and get a free cube which could be used in conjunction with the valentines offer (so we just had to buy 1 more cube to reach $30) In addition to that, we got a small welcome pack for joining the loyalty program and another free cube for birthday reward!

She went above and beyond to make sure that I was able to still purchase what I needed and make the most of it. When she didn't have the answers, she was very quick to reach out to a manager for approval. I was very happy with my in store purchase, now I just need to wait for my refund from the online order.

On my most recent trip, I discovered that they also sell babka, and I got a whole loaf for less than $10. It was soft, chewy, and full of rich chocolate-y flavor. I'll keep coming back here to satisfy my baklava (and now also babka) cravings!

We walked into a location that fits the brand well, sitting comfortably among the other specialty food options in the mall without feeling out of place. The Strawberry and Dubai Chocolate combo is the natural order for anyone trying the concept for the first time. It arrived with pistachio butter and a layered set of toppings that made the whole thing feel more composed than a standard chocolate treat. The chocolate itself is smooth and restrained on the sweetness, which works in its favor and keeps the experience from tipping into cloying territory. The combination with the strawberry is well balanced, with the fruit cutting through the richness of the pistachio and chocolate in a way that keeps each bite feeling fresh rather than heavy. At around eighteen dollars, the price point is the main hesitation. The quality is there and the experience of working through the combination is genuinely enjoyable, but it is more of a one time indulgence or a special occasion treat than something that becomes a regular habit at that cost. As a gift or a novelty stop during a Prudential visit it makes more sense, and the novelty of the Dubai Chocolate format still holds up well enough to justify the trip if you have not tried it before. Decent chocolate, an experience worth having at least once, but probably not a frequent stop for most people.

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.

So if: (1) you're a…read moreChoco-holic like I am, (2) you want to choc-overdose on truffles, (3) you're in Boston...then this my friend...IS your stop! 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.

Excellent chocolates, service left a lot to be desired. My simple request for a bow around my…read morechocolates (which are a gift) was met with an eye roll and clear disdain for the job. Will maybe return if the staff gets an attitude adjustment.
