    The candy selection is always great but the soft serve is unreal! I got the vanilla and maple twist. Highly recommend!

    Madeleine's is such a fun Swedish candy shop (now with a little soft serve window a couple doors down!!). I've been visiting here since they opened and I've found everything to be clean and relatively reasonably priced. The staff are also incredibly friendly. Keep in mind that this store is very small, so it can feel very crowded depending on the time/day you visit. If you are a fan of soft serve style ice cream, I do recommend checking out Madeleine's, as it's very tasty and portions are large (I ordered the smallest size!)

    This is a lovely new addition to the south end, and Boarding Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. Madeleine's features candy imported from around the world. I took away one star ONLY because it appears to be fairly recognizable chocolates and gummies. Of all the candy they offer, most famous is by "BUBS," which includes Banana Caramel Ovals, Tutti Frutti Foam Diamonds and Licorice Skulls. These are famously difficult and expensive to obtain, requiring FDA forms, and a customs broker. THE DEAL: when you want to try a new kind of sweet treat, stop by and see what's popular Internationally!

    TLDR: Great selection of candy and sweets, but the swedish candy comes prepackaged. Expect it to be on the pricier side. They also have soft serve, which is both delicious and more reasonably priced. Super beautiful space, and super nice employees! -- I frequently visit this candy shop at least once a week as it's the only way to get my steps in this winter (I live in southie, so I make the commute by foot) AND because my sweet tooth practically compels me to spend an exorbitant amount of money on swedish candy. So, I feel like I have formed a strong opinion about Madeleine's. First, it's colorful, it's beautiful, and it's incredibly welcoming with the way they have been decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Feels like I'm in Stars Hallows. They always have a new candy of the week to try for free at the counter, which is also a fun way of distracting me as I tap my card again and again for a (10 dollar) baggie of bubs. Yes, ten dollars for a baggie of PRE-packaged swedish candy. That's where this place loses its star. Week to week the mix of candy can change, and often times I'm left with candy that I don't really want. But is it worth it as a midweek pick me up? Yes, sometimes. BUT they also added a soft serve window that rotates flavors by the seasons (maple is my favorite), and you have the option to add a generous amount of bubs for only $2. The ice cream is much more reasonably priced. That makes a visit here worth it. This place is a must-stop in the south end area if you have a sweet tooth but expect it to be on the pricier side.

    Pay by weight

    Swedish candy grab bag is at the front! I didn't love the selection they had and it was expensive compared to the other international candy they had that was pay by weight. Self serve, good experience. Street parking.

    After having a disappointing online experience with a delayed order, I decided to try and go in…read morestore to see what was available for purchase. The woman working was very accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure that I was able to still purchase what I needed and make the most of it. When she didn't have the answers, she was very quick to reach out to a manager for approval. I was very happy with my in store purchase, now I just need to wait for my refund from the online order.

    Take gummy candy, dress it up with clever marketing and this the result. The store is beautiful,…read moreclean looking. All gummy candy is package into fancy plastic cubes. Flavors are more upscale than your normal store bought gummy. Flavors we got include rose, champagne, peach Bellini and vanilla latte. Check the box and these say non-alcoholic. Even though some are alcohol flavored, the saleslady said the alcohol is cooked off in the cooking process. The gummy is harder than what I prefer and some of the flavors like the rose and champagne taste like regular gummy bears. The price is for the brand , not necessarily for what you get. The small cubes are ~$8 each. The larger cubes are around $25 each. However, they do have a great promos and a very good loyalty program. We were there the day after valentines and their valentine cubes were buy 3 get 2 free. In addition, they had a Presidents' Day promo - spend $30 and get a free cube which could be used in conjunction with the valentines offer (so we just had to buy 1 more cube to reach $30) In addition to that, we got a small welcome pack for joining the loyalty program and another free cube for birthday reward!

    Nuts Factory - Dubai Chocolate

    Nuts Factory in Beacon Hill is a nationwide candy and chocolate chain that has built its retail…read morepresence around elevated confections, with Dubai Chocolate as the centerpiece of what draws most people in. We walked into a location that fits the brand well, sitting comfortably among the other specialty food options in the mall without feeling out of place. The Strawberry and Dubai Chocolate combo is the natural order for anyone trying the concept for the first time. It arrived with pistachio butter and a layered set of toppings that made the whole thing feel more composed than a standard chocolate treat. The chocolate itself is smooth and restrained on the sweetness, which works in its favor and keeps the experience from tipping into cloying territory. The combination with the strawberry is well balanced, with the fruit cutting through the richness of the pistachio and chocolate in a way that keeps each bite feeling fresh rather than heavy. At around eighteen dollars, the price point is the main hesitation. The quality is there and the experience of working through the combination is genuinely enjoyable, but it is more of a one time indulgence or a special occasion treat than something that becomes a regular habit at that cost. As a gift or a novelty stop during a Prudential visit it makes more sense, and the novelty of the Dubai Chocolate format still holds up well enough to justify the trip if you have not tried it before. Decent chocolate, an experience worth having at least once, but probably not a frequent stop for most people.

    So many variety of nuts, chocolates, sweets, desserts, and more. If you're looking for Dubai…read morechocolate desserts, Swedish candies, even the viral fruit mochi ice creams! After meandering around the store, we decided on getting the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup with matcha chocolate drizzle on top.

    The staff was so kind and helpful here! This was my first time stepping into Läderach Chocolatier…read moreSuisse and buying some chocolate. 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!

    I always walk by their location in Braintree but never tried it since they took over the Godiva…read morestore. 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.
