I have been visiting Herbert's candy mansion since I can remember . For both Easter and Christmas . For our family these holidays just aren't the same without the special chocolates from Hebert's , whether it be the solid chocolate bunnies , or santas to the holiday themed lollipops . Plus they still make some unique to the region candies like Boston Baked Beans or Rock Candy . When I became a parent it was even more exciting to go and be carrying on this tradition to my children . They also offer tours of the factories to groups , which each spring break a few of my cousins and I get together with our children and go for the day . Even the grown children still look forward to the trip . read more

Extraordinary selection of candy and confectionery. Also a pretty extensive ice cream bar where you can pick from a huge number of flavors and toppings. A summer must-see if you are in the area. read more

Hebert Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - Shrewsbury, Massachusetts

Unique store in an even more unique building. An actual stone mansion is the home to this chocolate store. I recently visited for the first time in about 20 years and the place hasn't changed at all. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so the main attraction for me is the ice cream bar. You can choose from 1-3 scoops of a wide variety of flavors, and then top them with unlimited amounts of your choice of 20-30 different toppings and sauces. The maple syrup pecan sauce is highly recommended, but avoid the coffee ice cream, if you ask me. All in all it ends up being about or less expensive than a basic Friendly's sundae with a much wider variety of choices. read more

Awesome ice cream topping bar!!!! Great selection of confections. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Look - this place does chocolate right. Their candy = amazing. Their variety = out of this world. The location and building are just plain awesome, too. Sometimes I think that I'm overpaying for chocolate and then I actually eat it and realize there's no such thing as overpaying for quality indulgences (as I sit here eating a "Nutella & Go" snack - not the same). They have a great "penny candy" section (obviously nothing's a penny anywhere anymore but calling it "many pennies candy" doesn't sound the same). They have some great nostalgic candies and treats that are fun to see again and introduce to my own kids. It's a great place, in my opinion, to grab a gift for just about anyone that likes anything sweet - from sugar free candy to indulgent truffles to button candy... you'll find it here. The Easter Bunny visits at Easter time. He's not creepy looking and he's FREE to visit! Two rare bunny finds, if you ask me. Legit, no obligation to buy anything and they also give you a deliciously famous Hebert's Candy Bar just for visiting. Then, at Christmas, go see Santa. You might want to plan this one when the time is right (aka: don't go when they first open for the day) because the line can be borderline obscene. And kids standing properly in line inside a CANDY STORE is pretty much a joke that no parent will laugh about. None. Anywhere. And you can end up on Santa's naughty list by the time to get to him. But their set-up for Santa is really beautiful and inviting and super adorable. And, yes, you also get a candy bar for visiting Santa (the kids do - parents will have to sneak a taste because they aren't handing them out to us old folks. It's for the kids!). They have an ice cream sundae bar that is quite spectacular and hard to find these days. Lots of delicious flavors of ice cream that can be topped with a huge variety of fresh and unhealthy toppings that will be a nice treat on a hot (or cold) day. Definitely try it - it's really fun and my kids always get a kick out of it when we treat them. Anyway - go here. Stop on your way through Shrewsbury on your way to... wherever. It's right on Rte 20, easily accessible, tons of parking, plenty of treats to choose from, and a grande and unique building to visit! read more

I live fairly close to Herbert and drive by at least twice a week, but have never stopped in. Today I did. I should have kept driving. The store is very nice, the staff is overly friendly and the prices are good. But the chocolate is not very good. I wanted to get a good idea of what they make, so I bought some pieces out of the case and some chocolate bars (they have a lot of flavors). The first thing I noticed is that the chocolate has not been tempered. It should have a slight snap when you break it or bite into it. This chocolate bent and/or smashed. The fillings for the chocolates in the case were all overly sweet and runny, which should never happen for refrigerated chocolate. I'll stick with Godiva or Lindt in the future. read more

We loooove going here for ice cream. They have a wonderful selection and very tasty flavors. The décor is great, the building unique and everyone is super friendly. You gotta check it out! read more

What could be better than a candy mansion? Kids were in heaven. They'd get one more star from me if they had a bigger selection of sugar free. Cute, cute gifts and Halloween themed candy. Also, packs of big bars to hand out for Halloween at pretty decent prices. I think I might go back to hand that out this year. read more

Homemade candies and chocolates. Ice cream buffet is great. Weekly car shows. It's a Candy Mansion. On Route 20 in Shrewsbury. Check it out. read more

OK, so it's not an actual mansion, but it is a big house that sells candy. Not real candy, but more like fancy candy that you'd only consider giving as a gift. But, they do have an ice-cream topping bar, which is a hit with any kid under twelve. Definitely a must-visit if you're on this side of the state, but be prepared to "pump it up" a bit to give your kids the full experience. read more

I absolutely love this place.It brings back great memories of going there as a child with my mother.There is every type of chocolate & confections you could possibly want and a great sundae bar.We went for the sundae bar but left with all our favorite candies and chocolates.The only reason for the 4 stars is because it is on the pricey side, but other than that its a wonderful place to make memories with your children. I'm keeping the tradition alive as I now bring my little girl there.A must for parents who live in or around Worcester county.You won't regret it. read more

This is a cool place, some good candy, great ice cream bar and a friendly staff.

Thank you Kym & Heberts for absolutely amazing customer service!

I have come to this location since I was a small child. Walking into the store and smelling all of the chocolate brings me back to being a young kid. Can't beat this place. read more

The new owners seem to be doing a good job. The boxed candy is great, if a little expensive, but if that is what it costs to provide quality, I will remain willing to pay. read more

I had not been here in quite a few years. Once upon a time Heberts had this original location along with locations in Bolton, MA (off rt 495) and Sturbridge, MA,. Each place sold candy and offered the sundae bar. The Bolton place was housed in a much newer white mansion while the Sturbrige was a smaller operation. Since that time the Hebert family sold the Herbert name and business. New owners run this location while the Heberts retained the Bolton location now called Colonial Candies. I beleive the Sturbridge location is closed. Interestly, both locations while owned by different people retain the sundae bar and seasonally themed candy. I'm not sure if or how the candy receipe has changed at this location (and likewise at the other place). Hopefully other reviewers will compare and share. Still I gave this location more stars than Bolton for a better presentation of product. First, this store offered a wide variety of candy as in years past. The displays were not only neat but were colorful and visually appealing for the Valentine season. The candy counters and display tables were space out throughout the store giving a spacious appearance. In fact, there was a lot of unused floor space blocked off in the the back of the building which make me wonder if the new owners had downsized or no longer make all the candy on site or possibly this was always the case. Second, the sundae bar was fine and the fudge was warm but because of the heat had a film like appearance on top. I was little concern because it was a weekday morning and I wondererd how long the fudge was out but it tasted fine and I didn't get sick. The ice cream portion was fine but since you can only make one trip through the bar which is understandable I wished the cup which held the ice cream was larger so you add more topping on top without stuff spilling over the top. The staff didn't go out of thier way to help but were pleasant and freindly enough. read more

Always loved their candies. It's over priced, but it is good and full of fond memories.

I worked with Sandra at Hebert Candies and got beautiful wedding favors!!! Sandra was great to work with very responsive and extremely helpful! Would work with her in the future!!!! read more

Amazing fudge. Actually the best I've had in years! They could be a little bit more friendly behind the counter but not at all rude & can tell they appreciate their customers. Kind of pricey but the flavor is top quality and well worth it. You'll be tempted to buy more things there. Very good, quality products. read more

Sandra the Store MGR assisted me in helping me send Valentine's Candy to a friend of a friend. They usually do not take retail orders until Monday but she made an exception for me. She listened to the specifics of the detail order and made wonderful suggestions like adding white rose candy lollipops and white candy bars to make a unique white candy tower. She called me back within 20 minutes of my initial call with these suggestions, prices and shipping costs. Sandra will be my go-to person in the future. She understood what I wanted the FIRST time, did not transfer me to others, spoke CLEAR ENGLISH and I thanked her for all these things and for not profusely apologizing to me and wasting my time. I know the candy will arrive in the time I allocated and have total faith in dealing with Sandra and Hebert Candies. I hope this review helps others and her General Mgr rewards her and knows what an asset she is to the company. She even offered to mail my receipt to me and I am in Florida. I told her to add some business cards and I will spread the word of what a great person and company this is. You won't be disappointed!! read more
