I really liked the chocolate covered oranges in particular! I ended up buying chocolate covered ginger and a tea-coffee flavor set of five. The ginger isn't too sharp when you bite into it since it's been candied, and the earl grey chocolate bonbon (which I wanted to try since I saw it online) was sold out individually but still sold in the five flavor sampler. The jasmine tea white chocolate rose was also delicious and the tea flavor was surprisingly rich. It's not cheap but it's well worth a nice gift for yourself or someone else!

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!

Today i walked by the location at prudential and there was a gentleman outside with milk choco - hazelnut bars broken up for samples. I said "hey i love that particular combo" so agreed to take a sample. Went back about 20 min later with the lady and bought a a broken chunk from their large slabs. I honestly don't have receipt but forget if it was 4oz or 8oz haha i ate it already. It was 16 bucks. The lady opted for a fudge cube pralines pavè Trinidad. They checked us out gave us nice bag and packaging and we were out. The choco sampling did it for me expensive yes but it was so clean and good. I'd get it occasionally in the future. Don't be afraid to ask for samples, they'll gladly let u try (at least the big slab ones) not sure about the Bon Bon style ones.

It definitely makes great gifts. There's lots of options including chocolate coated potato chips. Ive purchased both the white and chocolate potato chips. I didn't like the taste of the white chips.

Royce chocolate is one of Boston's best chocolate companies. I think that it is truly one of the…read morebest chocolates in the world. 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!

I've gotten the mixed chocolate and hot chocolate several times as well. The hot chocolate is never quite the same as the store but worth trying! I was super excited to try the ice cream and got a small hazelnut ($9 for one scoop). Unfortunately it was just fine, nothing special, and sooooo tiny. Wouldn't get that again!

Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!…read more So rich hot chocolate! We were craving dessert and decided to get some hot chocolate from L.A Burdock since we were in the area. The shop is super cute with plenty of chocolate gifts to take home or to buy for someone special. I really liked their displays of beautifully wrapped chocolate bars and gift sets. At the back of the shop their is a coffee shop that offers some pastries. I ordered their classic hot chocolate and my boyfriend got their spicy hot chocolate. There are a few tables to sit and enjoy your dessert and we were lucky to grab a seat because it was very busy on a late Saturday night. The drinks came out hot and super rich! The classic was very good and very chocolatety. The spicy hot chocolate was so thick and rich it felt like I was drinking a candy bar it was almost non liquid! It was very good! If you are a chocolate lover I highly recommend trying their yummy hot chocolate! You can even purchase a bag to prepare at home!

Elmendorf Baking Supplies & Cafe is a neighborhood bakery and café that doubles as a specialty…read morebaking supply shop. We walked into a warm, cozy space where fresh pastries, sandwiches, and coffee are displayed alongside shelves of baking tools, cookbooks, specialty ingredients, and pantry staples. The layout is thoughtful and inviting, the kind of place that appeals equally to home bakers and anyone stopping by for a snack, with a relaxed energy that encourages browsing as much as it does lingering over a coffee. We first came across Elmendorf at a local farmers market, where we picked up a selection of their baked goods. Everything was reasonably priced and consistently tasty, but the coffee cake was easily our favorite. It was soft, buttery, and had just the right balance of sweetness, making it the standout of everything we tried. Beyond the pastries, the café is also known for breakfast sandwiches, seasonal baked goods, espresso drinks, and creative specialty beverages. The pastry selection changes regularly while keeping a few favorites in rotation, so there is usually something new to try alongside the classics. The coffee drinks were well prepared and paired naturally with the pastries, and the quality of the ingredients came through clearly in each item we ordered. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the café maintained a relaxed pace that made it easy to settle in for a bit. The staff were patient with questions about both the baked goods and the baking supplies, and the overall atmosphere felt like a place built around quality ingredients and thoughtful baking. The combination of the café and the supply shop gives the space a unique identity, making it feel like more than just a place to grab a coffee. Whether you are visiting the café or browsing the baking supplies, Elmendorf feels like the kind of place that is built around quality ingredients and thoughtful baking. Between the rotating pastries, welcoming atmosphere, and well-curated shop, it is an easy spot to recommend for both coffee breaks and anyone who enjoys baking at home.

I travel 20 miles to shop there and it is worth it.

Been to this location a couple times! Glad they are open relatively late for an ice cream shop!…read moreRight in the heart of Fenway, by tasty burger and yard house. Open until 12am normally, with Friday and Saturday until 1am. They have something for lunch everyone unless you have big nut allergy . Would check with staff if you do. Neice and nephews are allergic to everything, so they couldn't enjoy any. The vegan / dairy free options at van leeuwen, have some sort of nuts used in their flavors. **** Aside that, i went with Mango sorbet, mango sticky rice and matcha strawberry. Now other times 2 scoops is plenty I would personally opt for the mango sorbet and matcha strawberry combo. (If I'm hungry i add a waffle cone on top my cup). Staff is always pretty nice, you can taste everything beforehand, some people do literally taste everything so the line might take a bit if you go during the weekend, sox games or event nights. Parking is always a fun time in Fenway, but we always manage to snag a meter out front or down the street when we've been there. Clean aesthetic, some window seats, 2x (3-4 person) and a counter row of seating against the wall in between. Always a good experience here!

I stopped in just after the Red Sox game and was surprised it wasn't packed. There were still a decent amount of flavors available even with the game just letting out. I went with the Marionberry Cheesecake, which had a rich cheesecake flavor with the berry mixed throughout. Creamy, sweet and definitely a solid choice. The space has that bright Van Leeuwen look with pink and yellow throughout. Service was quick and friendly, and I was in and out without much of a wait. Between the easy experience, good selection and convenient Fenway location, I'd definitely choose this one again, especially over dealing with the parking situation around Mass Ave.
