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.

The line here is always long, but it moves relatively quickly. The ambiance here is family friendly. However, there's limited seating inside and you have to have seating before being able to order their hot chocolate in a mug. When you order, there's 2 sizes for hot chocolates and you can get either a white chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate hot chocolate. The large milk hot chocolate was so rich and a perfect balance of cream to chocolate, which made it an optimal size to share amongst 3 people. The sweetness, warmth and texture make it a nice sweet treat on a cold or rainy Boston day. The drinks were a bit expensive, but this hot chocolate falls in my top 3. I'm glad that my friend recommended this place to recharge before dinner.

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!

We walked into a clean, minimal space that was very visually polished, with displays of chocolate bark, truffles, and bars that immediately felt high-end. What stood out right away was how interactive the experience was, with staff regularly offering samples that let us try different flavors before committing to anything. The sampling approach made the visit feel welcoming and exploratory rather than pushy. The chocolate itself is the main reason to visit. We tried a few pieces and found everything tasting rich, smooth, and noticeably higher quality than standard chocolate shops, with a strong focus on texture and freshness. The fruit-forward and nut-based options, like strawberry, orange, and hazelnut varieties, were especially memorable because they balanced sweetness with more natural, layered flavors. Even the simpler milk and dark chocolate options felt more refined than what we normally find in most retail chocolate stores. The chocolate bark, with its thin layers and evenly distributed toppings, stood out as a signature item that showcased the craftsmanship behind the brand. The biggest thing to be aware of is the price point. It was very easy to spend more than expected here, especially since the samples made everything feel worth trying. It felt less like a casual snack stop and more like a place where we picked a few pieces as a treat or gift rather than doing any kind of regular purchase. Service was friendly and attentive, and the sampling approach made the experience feel welcoming instead of pushy. Staff were willing to explain different flavors and help guide choices, which made it easy to explore the selection even if we were not familiar with Swiss chocolate. Overall, Läderach is a high-end chocolate shop best suited for gifting or occasional indulgence. The quality is excellent and the tasting experience makes it fun to explore, but the pricing keeps it firmly in the "treat yourself" category rather than an everyday stop.

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!

Whether you're stopping in for a pastry, dessert, or a quick treat, the quality of the food is definitely the reason to visit. That said, the customer experience could use some improvement. The staff wasn't rude, but they also weren't particularly warm or welcoming. The atmosphere feels a bit plain and lacks the cozy, inviting vibe that makes you want to linger in a bakery. Pros: * Delicious, fresh baked goods * Great flavors and quality ingredients * Good selection of pastries and desserts Cons: * Staff could be friendlier and more engaging * Atmosphere feels a little cold and could use more charm Overall, I'd happily come back because the food is excellent. If the service and overall vibe matched the quality of the baked goods, this would easily be a 5-star spot.

The more it sat, the more I was able to taste it. And the mocha they use doesn't seem to be very chocolatey which I'm not a fan of. It's more on the bland side. Maybe it would be better iced but since it's cold outside I wanted something hot. The girl who took my order and made my latte was very nice and very kind. She had a really good vibe coming off her which I love. Five stars for her! So the mocha gets 3 stars, the girl who helped me gets five stars. I may get a cookie to go but haven't decided if I wanna spend $5.75 plus tax on a cookie. The mocha was $5.25 plus tax alone. And the cookies really aren't as big as people say they are. They do look good but I'm not sure if I wanna spend that much on a single cookie. Maybe I'll come back another day. Edit to say I did go back for a cookie. I got the dark chocolate peanut butter chip. The same girl helped me and this wonderful sweet girl gave me an extra cookie. Forget the five stars, she gets infinite stars. I hardly ever have people be that nice to me and she deserves all the recognition and thanks. Been in Boston for literally two hours and I'm already having the best day!!

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.
