I was at Phillips Candy House Wednesday for my annual candy-buying for family and friends. The staff went out of the way to put boxes of candy together for me (as these particuar caramels were already sold out.) I found the turtles we give to friends each year, and then I shopped for myself (butterscotch hard candy, anise-flavored soft candy, and a chocolate bar.) My family has been shopping here since were kids (and they were the adults) and it's been consistently great. Call ahead and placed an order early around the holidays. (I watch a shopper pay for 36 identical boxes while I was in line.) Parking can be a little gnarly, but if you look for a space, you'll find one. read more

A large selection of chocolates actually made it a bit difficult to choose! Those working there were patient and helpful, and by the way, the chocolates were wonderful. read more

I love this place. And my nephews love it too. The chocolates are the best. The people that work there are very friendly and helpful. The price of the candy is comparable to other candy shops and they are well worth the price. read more

Phillips Candy House - Own picked selection and one eaten for 9 per box option - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Best chocolate turtles ever! I've been buying mine there for over 30 years. Their selection of chocolates and salted Carmel's is impressive. They make all of their chocolates on site and the shop always smells magical. read more

Always opt for custom made boxes of chocolates as my family prefers milk chocolates - they are the BEST!

We get a lot of food gifts over the holidays. Most are fair-to-mediocre. We got this box of Phillips Chocolates and I tried one, with low expectations.....and had my mind blown! How can these be so delicious?! Obviously they use very fresh and REAL ingredients. These are 10x better than See's. And 100x better than Harry and David or any of those other holiday gift vendors. I gave all the other holiday food away, but I'm keeping these for myself. And the price is the same as others. Spectacular! read more

Pretty good chocolates and candies for a decent price. It was fun to walk around the shop and see what fun/random candies they had floating around. At some point, there were some chocolate cigar books that were blue and pink for gender reveals/baby showers hahah which was quite cringe. Ignoring that weirdness, they had a lot of cute holiday-themed chocolates and candies. read more

Delicious chocolates and great service, but they charge you for bags. I don't think that they should charge their customers for bags because their candy is expensive. They don't tell you that they are going to charge you when they ask you if you want one. I hope that they are not making a profit on the bag charge of $.05/bag. read more

When I was younger, my mother taught me that it is okay to have candy once in a while. At the same time, she said the following "if you're going to have sweets, have a GOOD candy, and not a lollipop." Now, don't get me wrong, I am not throwing shade at regular candy. I've eaten more Reece's than I am willing to admit, not just that, I am saving frozen (and likely long expired) Nestle Butterfingers for special occasions. Ferrero, if you're reading this, either bring back the original recipe or admit that it was burned my Nestle before they handed over the keys. But, I digress. When your in virtually any store or by the office vending machine and you get a terrible sweet-tooth ache, go ahead and buy the Reese's. On the other hand, if you want a DANG GOOD chocolates, these are among the best I'd had. I am especially fond of their Turtles! Caramel, if sweet and delicious, but chewing it, takes at best a solid two minutes. Here, the turtles preserve their delicious turtle-ness without transforming into a form of chewing gum. Other favorites have been the peanut butter cups and orange skins. Both delicious without being overly sweet. Furthermore, the dark chocolate makes everything even yummier! It has just the right amount of bitterness. Whatever your preferences are, they have a large and impressive collection. Yes, they are expensive. You can get branded chocolates for much less. What it comes down to is value. The quality and the love that goes into Phillips sweets is what makes the price more understandable, plus, Boston isn't the cheapest when it comes to rent, not even close. My advice: keep it as a special treat, and not an everyday thing. Even if you have deep pockets and a bulletproof immune system you want this quality of sweets to not become routine (and lose their wow factor). read more

Freshest and my ab favorite chocolate. Ordered via website. Arrived quickly with great packaging. Thanks read more

To the woman upset about price increases, it is a LUXURY to buy good chocolate for yourself. During a global pandemic while people are continuously risking their lives to provide income and stay afloat, how can one be so dense to not understand inflation during an international crisis? anyways, the cashew turtles have been my mom's favorite since I was a child. I will pay whatever the inflation (I'm a working person that works a normal job that gets paid a pretty normal low ball wage) to have a few moments of a serotonin boost because of your delicious chocolates. There are much dumber things to spend money on than indulging in an experience. thank you for continuing to be open during a very wild 20 months. I'm happy to support your business read more

I'll go back just for Carol alone! She is so sweet, passionate and so knowledgeable--you can tell that she loves her job. I went to Phillips because I heard about their chocolate turtles, but I had no idea of all the assortments of candy and chocolate that they serve. All the ones I tried are amazing. I left there with a satisfied sweet tooth from some tastings, a bag full of goodies, and some new knowledge of this chocolatier. Thank you, Carol! You made a great experience for my bf and me, we will definitely be returning when we're in Boston again. read more

The turtles are amazing! Hash bars too! Honestly, it is a good place for the whole family. My kids get gummies while my husband and I appreciate the chocolate made on site (I think) read more

Worth. Every. Penny. Comparable in price to See's Candies and 10x better. And local. And family-owned. Best turtles (and other candies) in the world. read more

I finally made it here! This will become my "local gift" when I am visiting friends and want to bring something from Boston. The chocolate is really good. It's not fancy, single-origin chocolate like Dagoba or fancy like Vosges. But it's creamy and delicious. The staff recommended I try the hash bar (she even made the obvious but funny joke about telling my friend I know where to get great hash in Dorchester). It has filberts and marshmallow and was great. If they are in stock, get some! The chocolates, fudge, and roasted nut combos are all made in house. The jellies and gummies are not, I was told. And note if you're buying the wrapped chocolate bars and want a local treat: a few of them are from Asher's. Asher's makes great chocolate, too, but it's not by Phillips (and actually made near the town I'm planning to visit and bring chocolate, which is just silly). Of course, Asher's founder learned to make chocolate in Boston, so there's a connection. I'm glad I don't have a car and need to bike or walk to get here; otherwise I'd be in trouble with all that chocolatey goodness so close to home. read more

Handmade chocolates. Love the fruit cream filled chocolates. Great place to make your own chocolate box as a gift for someone! Friendly and helpful staff. read more

Worth the trek! Customer service was lovely! The candy is fresh. Great selection. Happy camper!

I've just received a box of turtles for Valentine's Day (that I opened right away) from my hubby. So, so tasty. The best turtles I have had. read more

Wow what a candy shop! We walked in and it is meticulous and smelled so good. Two nice young people helped us pick our own chocolates out of a great variety! Associates were patient and very kind and caring. Phillips has all our favorites like orange, coffee and mint chocolates. The chocolates were bursting with flavor and so fresh! I got a few dark, pecan turtles as well, so yummy! Can't wait to go back for a larger assortment what was I thinking getting a little box! read more

Don't order online! 7 days ago (12/16) I placed 2 orders, they said i would recieve an e mail with a tracking no. when my order was shipped. Their web site said the next available shippind date was the 17th. To date i had not recieved a tracking no. so i called them only to find out my order hadn't even been processed yet and the best they could do was Sat. the 26th. For a company thats been arround for 95 years they should know when their busy seasons are and act accordingly, I should have been told that they would never even process my order for 7 days, Icould have drove there , mailed it myself and been better off. Never again. read more

It is a wonderful small shop jam packed with everything delicious. The artistry of the specialty chocolates is phenomenal! A wonderful surprise for my wife and daughter. The staff certainly enjoys servicing their customers with pride in the shop beaming through them. Rightly so! I will definitely be back many times in the future. read more

The store is quite small and they are doing a great job keeping social distancing possible. I purchase all different chocolates for each person in my family and there is nothing but love and deliciousness read more

Ran in to grab my sweetheart some of her favorite chocolate turtles on Valentines Day. The place was busy as to be expected, but not too bad. The service was exceptional. The price was good. The smile on my sweetheart's face was priceless. It always nice to be able to drop I'm a neighborhood place and get the best in the world. read more

My Mom and Dad love your Chocolate Turtles and I always get big points every time I send as gifts! Going to visit my parents soon and will be sure to visit store as they don't have one in San Francisco. read more

Philip is a place from my childhood. And while the traditional regular chocolate remain good, the sugar free chocolate left to be desired. Could have been better but I know that sugar free is not what they specialize in. Otherwise Philips is still a great place for regular chocolate's as my daughter loves the turtles, peanut butter cups & milk chocolate hash. read more

I love turtles. After hearing Phillips are Oprah's favorite I gave them a try. They have turtles in different chocolates and different nuts beyond just pecan. I stuck with my fav: dark chocolate and pecan. They are just over $2 each and smaller than expected -- nuts out to about the size of a half dollar with the chocolate about the size of a quarter. I was not impressed with the taste of the chocolate or caramel. They weren't chewy or really even flavorful. I also tried the fudge, specifically the Penuche walnut. Again, not the best fudge consistency. The flavor is nice, like Christmas candy, but its slightly grainy and dried out around the edges. read more

My first time visiting this place the lady was very rude from the time me and my grandkids walked in the stares and we were speaking to each other didn't hear her ask if we needed bags so she raised her voice rudely and the look was as it we were gonna steal ! Made me not want to buy anything but i was with my grandkids and I wanted to taste the chocolate ! she needs a better attitude customer service not a good impression! but the chocolate was great but I will not go there again ! read more

The chocolates here are delicious. However I think the prices went up significantly in the last year. I expect to pay extra for well made candy at a boutique shop, but I was still blown away. I bought a few items to supplement Christmas gifts and it came out to $76. This was a lot more than I wanted to spend, so I checked my receipt and noticed the two bags of chocolate balls (which are about half the size I remember them being last year) were $20. I couldn't justify spending that and went back in and they wouldn't take the chocolates back. I hadn't opened them or left the parking lot. The time was on my receipt and two minutes had passed from when I bought them and when I tried to return them. I feel like at this price, they should come with a free vacation. read more

I love the candy here. Their chocolate turtles are the best and they come in both milk or dark chocolate. They also have great fudge here and you can build your own box of chocolates. The service is always pleasant. read more

I know it's the holiday season. But I'm so disappointed with this delivery. I placed an order last week, then received an email saying UPS would require a signature. Damn. I hate having to wait around. So UPS sends an email saying delivery would be made on Saturday between 2-6. No delivery. So I wait home on Sunday not knowing if the package will come. It didn't. So I figure delivery will be made Monday. Nope. At 4:30 I get an email indicating delivery will be made on Tuesday between 2-6. All this waiting because the delivery needs a signature. It's only chocolate!!!!! read more

One of the largest and extensive, and apparently also the oldest, chocolatier in the Boston area. I have seen their location in the South Shore Plaza, and this Morrissey Blvd location is vastly superior in size and options. There is extensive options of fudge, chocolate barks, turtles, etc. For example, they had chocolate turtles made with milk chocolate vs. dark chocolate, with vs. without sea salt, variations made with almonds vs. pecans vs. macadamia nuts, and this is JUST the turtles we're talking about! They had alot of different options for their chocolate barks, fudges, and a range of truffles flavors. Some things you can purchase by weight and they put into a box for you, and some things are already individually wrapped. Their turtles are a perfect blend of smooth chocolate and crunchy nuts, their cookies are delicious, and I love their individual smores, though quite a splurge at $2/ea. The pricing for the price-by-weight option was harder to figure out, since you have to have the employee help you with the fudge/bark/etc., and they ask you "how much do you want? 1lb?" Since I don't buy chocolate often, it's hard to know how much 1/2 lb vs. 1lb actually looks like without telling them they need to just walk over and showing us. This place seems great for any gift occasion too as well as general Boston souvenirs with some candies included or stuffed animals with some chocolate attached to them. They seem to also offer custom orders for special events, such as wedding favors. Easy location to find, right off of 93 and on Morrissey Blvd, right by Boston Bowl. Great place, only thing that could have made it better, was the staff were very stand-offish, they wouldn't walk over until we could figure out exactly how much we wanted; it would have been helpful if they offered to help or seemed a bit more welcoming. Overall, great place if you're looking for a range of chocolate options. read more

I had never heard of Phillips chocolates until Christmas 2015. My attorney sent me a two pound box of a variety of Phillips chocolate and I must admit it was the best chocolates I had ever tasted in my life. Because my attorney sent Phillips chocolates ,I knew it had to be the best. My ,my how right she was again. Larae B. read more

Best chocolate ever. You must try it to believe it. The store is adorable. Order online and pickup later.

Delicious assortments, however I do have a problem with a product priding itself as handmade, while having so many additives, artificial ingredients and preservatives. I'm pretty sure the original chocolates were not made with HFCS and yellow #5. They taste great though. read more
