a good reason to venture away from your normal haunts. Great company and quality. This is how all businesses should be! Oh, and the chocolate is frickin' awesome! read more

4 1/2 stars for a delicious chocolate candy shop. I absolutely love the 16 piece box of chocolate turtles, filled with fresh almonds, pecans and walnuts. Each bite is special occasion decadent. My current selection is milk chocolate but I usually buy a mix of decadent dark and milk chocolate. This shop is very friendly and will prepare any combination you desire. Fairly priced. read more

What's not to love about Phillips's Candy House chocolates!!! At Christmas I bought their yummy chocolate turtles. They come in dark and milk chocolate with almonds, cashews and walnuts. Lots of my friends were lucky recipients of them and raved. I have recently relocated yo Dorchester after30 years of living in New York City. Phillips has been around forever. Today I had a delightful conversation with Carol who works there and recommended the best selection for my 94 year old mom who at this age the doctor said can eat whatever she wants. Yum! Thx for being there PCH. read more

Phillips Candy House - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I placed an order that was shipped out on 12/19 due to arrive on 12/21. It still did not arrive on 12/22 so I called Philips to ask if the chocolate would remain fresh during the delayed shipping. I could not even ask the question. A rude woman told me to call shipping which is closed. Very poor customer service, let's hope the chocolates are better(if they ever arrive). read more

Chocolate OK. Bad business practices. Rude employees. Went to the store to buy some milk chocolate Christmas balls three days before Christmas. A rude employee told me they didn't have any, were sold out for a week, and they would not have any on the 23rd or 24th. Yet, I go to their website soon after leaving the store and - surprise - the milk chocolate Christmas balls are available. I have been going to the store in Dorchester for 50 years and the employees have always been some of the most obnoxious people I have ever encountered. Time to find another chocolate purveyor that appreciates its customers. read more

Absolutely love this candy store. Their chocolate is fantastic, their peanut butter cups will spoil you for all others and the fudge is unreal, especially the peanut butter fudge. I'm here all the time for holidays and gifts. The staff is friendly, helpful and kind. Highly recommend!! read more

Worst Service Ever. Supposedly Oldest Chocolatier, well that it is, old must mean slow, placed order and paid for overnight delivery, had to call twice and still not shipped 4 days later, they couldn't even find order for 15 minutes each time. Yet they surely take your money. They didn't even generate receipt via email or provide order number. This company should just roll over and die! read more

Best turtles, hands down. We live near this spot and I have to stop myself from swinging by on my commute home each night :) Phillips is a great shop - with tons of chocolate and candy choices. Seriously, their turtles are amazing...milk or dark chocolate. They make an excellent gift. They do a nice job packaging things up and I always enjoy giving them for a gift around the holidays. read more

You have the BEST turtles in the whole wide world,I have been buying them here for over 50 years! Don in S.C. read more

My husband and I have been on a salted caramel kick lately and have tried quite a few chocolatiers. Phillips has, by far, the best salted vanilla caramels around! We got quite the tour there as well! Awesome experience! Thank you! read more

First let me start with the fact that yes the quality of this chocolate is excellent. I have been a long standing customer, as has my family. What started as a family business is no longer the case and it shows. My mother who is 84 ordered chocolates on Dec. 8. She only lives a few miles away. They were not delivered so she called on the 15th. They said they would mail them out that week. I called on the 19th because they were still not delivered and they were not even mailed out! I said that I would come by and pick them up. I get there and pick the order up and it is missing chocolates. She has paid for these, as well as shipping. I ask to speak with the manager and he says we are very busy, I have new staff and I would never had agreed to take this job if I knew what it entails. I am sure that is all true but now you have made several mistakes and cost her additional money. I explained that as this is being shipped after wrapping to another state she will have to pay an additional shipping charge and pay two day shipping. I am very understanding given the current state and am trying to support local business. These chocolates are high end ONE chocolate covered cherry cost 3.00. Since they are costing her more money plus the inconvenience of driving to the store after she ordered three weeks before Christmas the least they could have done was offer a chocolate bar or something so she broke even on the cost never mind inconvenience. read more

Excellent and yummy...nothing better. They make all of their candy themselves and it is so good. I got my wedding favors done here, and they came out excellent. The people there are so sweet and helpful too! read more

Words cannot even describe the sinfulness that is Phillips Candy House. Chocolate Covered Cherries, Heavenly Hash, Milk and Dark Chocolate Turtles. Pure BLISS. I first had this on a visit to Boston in the early 90's and now that I can actually order it by mail (even the cherries!!), I'm so happy. The chocolate is soooooo creamy, rich and magnificent. The quality is so good you will not feel the need to binge, you will want to savor every delectable bite. This chocolate should be illegal. :) read more

My grandmother had a candy shop in Beverly Hills, CA for over 40 years and used only the finest chocolate for her hand dipped chocolates. Phillip's Candy House measures up every bit to the quality of her candies!!!! They have a great selection and have something for every sweet tooth!!!! read more

Awful customer service, hidden charges, 10% off corporate orders means 10% off the price of each individual item for the corporate order, not actually 10% off the entire order. read more

A day after posting my review, I received a message from Phillips Candy House regarding the stale candy. I really appreciated this gesture - will give them another try - gave them an extra star. :) read more

Wow amazing candy! I'm from California, we are FAMOUS for SEES CANDY...Phillips Candy House puts Sees to SHAME! If you are looking for quality chocolate or old fashioned candy (the right way) you come here! I was first introduced to Phillips truffles and half dipped mints. I fell in love! This last Christmas I bought 3 pounds of the half dipped mints (one for my grandmother and 2 for the xmas parties we had). She said they reminded her of the candies in her childhood...and everyone went wild for the candy. Their detailed and delicate box the candies come in are very luxurious and the way candy should be handled and boxed. I just ordered my shipment for mothers day...and I know it will be a huge surprise for my aunt and grandma when they receive it. read more

I have been a fan since being introduced some thirty years ago. When I was in the area, I would drive in; now I order on-line. I have always been extremely pleased with the exceptionally high quality chocolate, and have created new fans of the business through sharing. However, I must emphasize that sharing is a difficult task. Yes, the chocolate IS THAT GOOD! My solution has been to order two boxes; one to give, and one for me. My favorites are the milk and white chocolate pecan turtles; they will transport you to taste bud heaven! The gift wrapping is lovely; you won't have any need to re-wrap. Even the Phillips Candy House card is a nod to the grand old luxury of a high quality product. The chocolates have always come on time, and in pristine shape. My only desire would be to have these chocolates more often! read more

Thanks to Maryann at Phillips for her generous donation of a gift cert. Because of the generosity of donors like you colinsmission.org fundraiser for 2016 was a huge success. Thank You! read more

I go to this and the Braintree Location all the time. I go here for one thing only. I love their chocolate chip cookies. They are the best. I costs $5 for six cookies but it is well worth it. The cookies are so good especially when you heat them in the microwave for about thirty seconds so that the chips melt a little bit. It is best to have with a nice tall cold glass of milk. The chocolates and candies look great but I'm always fixated on the cookies. The service is always good too. read more

When I'm in Boston, this is one of my favorite places to stop. Large selection of chocolates, solid, fruits, nuts, boxed candies, and more. Everything is really fresh and delicious. I recommend the fruit peels (either orange or lemon) and the pineapple. They all come covered in your choice of milk or dark chocolate. read more

I saw this place when I was riding my bike along the Neponset trail and just had to go in. I'm a HUGE fan of homemade fudge, and this place delivered. I love that they make everything on-site. The smell when you walk in is heavenly. The staff was VERY helpful and friendly. In fact, when I asked about a flavor of fudge that I had never heard of before, the lady told me to lean down and take a whiff of it! Needless to say, I got a sample of every flavor, including the heavenly hash, which was fantastic. My only complaint is that the prices are a bit high, but I guess that comes with the homemade specialty factor. read more

What can I say? My aunt started the company along with her husband in 1925 and invited my father and his two brother's to join them but it was not to their liking and they started the DiMare produce company specializing in fresh market tomatoes. From our house on Stults Road, my aunt's house was just around the corner on Elm. I used to play with Mary Ann Sammartino, now one of the principles. I could ride my bike to the first candy store they opened in Belmont and Aunty knew all her neice's and nephew's favorites. At that time my, favorite was White Chocolate but now it is the chocolate turtles and I order them most years. read more

It doesn't get any better than this!!!! My husband and I found Phillips on our honeymoon to Boston in 2007. The mouthwatering fudge is out of this world. We love to place orders for special treats. The delivery to Maryland is lightning fast and the sweets are always fresh and tasty. Again, Phillips is tops with us!!!! read more

Amazing candy house. I tasted the dark and milk chocolate almond bark, the dark and milk chocolate almond turtles and both were absolutely delicious! Try the turtles with the Himalayan sea salt. It adds such a nice layer of flavor to the chocolate and caramel. read more

I walked in and my first impression was good products, but ultimately overpriced and terrible customer service. When I requested help I was rudely greeted and made to feel like I should leave, simply because I asked for assistance when I was simply following the sign requesting I ask for assistance in selecting a product.....I won't be coming into this store again. read more

Great plain chocolate chip cookies. Extremely poor managment! Please will someone buy this business and run it correctly? They lose so much money by always being out of stock. read more

Delicious homemade chocolates and beautiful store. Customer service needs to be worked on. They are very slow in the store. Lovely people but you always wait and some small efficiencies would improve this. Basic customer service--anticipate! I have driven by a few times wanting some chocolate but know it will take too darn long. When you order online you never know when the package will arrive. It says they use UPS ground so one expects the next day. You don't get a tracking number. The packaging is too much--they still use styrofoam peanuts! And stuff comes wrapped when it doesn't need to wrapped. Please--please talk to your workers and get them more on top of things as you go into the holiday season!! read more

Absolute best fudge. Penuche. Chocolate. I sent 2 lbs as a thank you to my old dept when I changed to another dept and everyone there was in sugar shock for a week. I have bought myself a lb of penuche fudge there. That was a bad idea. It as not around long. YUMMMMMMY. read more

Phillips has been a great place for years. The qulity of the product is outstanding. The family who runs the establishment is outstanding. I recomend the turtles. read more

Ordered Christmas baskets from them a few months ago for clients and they went over BIG! Thumbs up.

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY. Every now and then, I would pop over to the Braintree store at South Shore Plaza but was saddened to learn that it's not longer there. :( Anywho, my coworker grew up in Southie and took me over to their main headquarters in Dorchester, and what a treat it was! Milk chocolate turtles taste as good, if not better, as I remember. I was greeted with the delicious smell of chocolate right when I walked in the door, and it wafted in the air as I surveyed all the yummy chocolates and goodies. I grabbed the pecan milk chocolate turtle bar (delish) and 2 very generous size squares of the penuche fudge. Needless to say, those were gone within a half an hour of buying them! So so good, worth every penny. Reasonable prices, great service and delicious treats. Do try! read more

My Father and I went there last night to pick up some chocolates for my Mother. You walk in and immediately are overwhelmed (in a great way, if you LOVE chocolate!). It's beautiful, clean, fairly small. There is sooo many candies and chocolates to choose from. There was a sale associate, a sweet lady named Carol who basically gave my Father and I a grand tour of the ENTIRE place. She claimed that she wasn't allowed to hand out samples, but we left with sooo many! It is a bit on the pricey side but the company has been a family business for a little over 100 years. My favorite was definitely is a cross between the milk chocolate and white chocolate (which, I usually cannot stand!) turtles. You can choose to have pecans, cashews, almonds and I believe walnuts. There is a lovely caramel taste in the middle. Carol explained how the family still makes their chocolate the "old fashioned" way. They process everything the proper way, with care and love. I will definitely be going back! :) P.s There was a really awesome gift of a woman's heel with a bottle of pinot grio and chocolates wrapped around the bottle! So cute and romantic! read more

Went there this morning to purchase milk chocolate turtles(Cashews) for my wife for Valentine's day . Couldn't resist after I tried one and bought the dark chocolate ones for myself. They are soooooo delicious! Great place and excellent variety as they kept coming out with fresh batches. read more

Our hotel gave us a coupon for a free piece of fudge so me and my fiancee decided to check the out. They are pretty well priced and the chocolate is amazing. read more

Just went a few weeks ago and had a great experience! The service was excellent. A nice women told us the history of Phillips Candy House then explained each chocolate. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made our trip very memorable. Everything is made fresh and tasted delicious! I would recommend the peanut butter cups, turtles, and fudge. The prices are very reasonable and it is always good to support local businesses. I will definitely be back! read more

Great chocolates and fantastic hot chocolate. I often buy my coworkers treats from here for Christmas and they really love them!

I was very disappointed about the service I received with an online order for Mother's Day candy. The website said order by 5/5/2014 and guarantee delivery for Mother's Day. I ordered, the order went through, got a confirmation number. However, the next day I was called to say "sorry we can't get it to Texas for Mother's Day" without an extra $9 for 2 day UPS shipping. So for my $25 box of chocolates, i would have paid $19 for shipping. I told the person in customer service about the website wording and she said "well that is for New England"...I have used this company in the past and my mother loved the candy but no more. They should have absorbed the extra shipping and not tried to hijack me on Mother's day. I cancelled the order. read more

An excellent old fashioned candy store. Everything is great and the prices are very fair. We love picking out our own chocolates and really like how we can get almost everything in dark chocolate. read more
