    The chocolate cake
    Sonia J.

    Love love love this place , it's a hidden gem in Somerville. Everything is so tasty, I ordered the chocolate cake and it was amazing !!! I will be back there again to try other items she has such a great menu.

    Chocolate Treats
    Pam M.

    Loved Verity! Ade, the owner is absolutely lovely and she makes the most delicious treats all by herself daily. We got the chocolate cold brew coffee (must get with her housemade chocolate creamer!) and chocolate bon bons. We didn't get to try her oatmeal cookies, but a patron was going on and on about them, she said they are among the best she'd ever had -- not crazy sweet like some others, nice and chewy, also the chocolate ones were great and super chocolatey. We will definitely be back often to try everything else she makes -- especially the chocolate cake, hot chocolate, and more bon bons (which are beautifully hand-decorated). She also makes other espresso drinks, chocolate bars, and other unique treats that make for great gifts. This is a must-try, you will NOT be disappointed. Go there now, run don't walk!

    Had to eat the top before writing the review lol

    Delicious! The chocolate is fully processed from cacao beans right here in Somerville. It's smooth and lovely!

But I went BECAUSE I'M A GOOD FRIEND!! Ahem :/ Anyway, the co-owner Tony, took me and my girls for a grownup ride through high level chocolate production and tasting. I felt like I learned a lot and sampled some fabulous chocolates. I'm not even a chocolate lover and I left with about 15 pieces. If you love to support local business and creative people and you wanna upgrade from Hershey's (though no shame bc I just housed a Mr. Goodbar), def give this place a try. Perfect for private events or daily drop-ins!

Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Meltaway ($2.25) - This was essentially a peanut butter cup. I thought it was just okay, lacked peanut butter flavor. Kokoleka 55% Single Origin Dark Mango Meltaway ($2.25) - This was similar to the peanut butter meltaway, but just with a mango flavor. I initially thought it was going to be a mango filling, but that was not the case. Regardless, it was pleasant and balanced well with the chocolate. Kokoleka Dark 55% Single Origin Banana Ganache Truffle ($1.20) - Again, I thought this was going to be filled with a banana filling, but it was not. This was probably my favorite. The chocolate was delicate, and the banana flavoring just enhanced that. Kokoleka Dark 55% Single Origin Cabernet Sauvignon Ganache ($1.40) - This was my least favorite. I just did not care for the wine taste here. Madagascar Chocolate 36% Single Origin Sea Salt Caramel ($1.60) - The caramel chocolate log was appetizing. I really enjoyed this type of chocolate. Dark Chocolate Infused with 30 mg. CBD Oil ($4.30) - This was just straight chocolate. It was refreshing and pleasant to have. Will I go back? I would.

I was amazed by the care and service of this local business! The owner is a super sweet man who is always there to lend a helping hand with the chocolate recommendations if you are looking to buy a special present for someone. If you happen to be buying a selection of chocolate, maybe you will be lucky enough to sample one of their chocolates right there Their entrance is a side door off of Madison Ave. It is not labeled, but don't be afraid to give it a turn and go right in! You should hear a bell chime in the back when you head in, so if you don't, give the door another open to make sure they know they have a customer. Their Gianduja chocolate has such a lasting and aromatic hazelnut flavor, I definitely recommend getting a piece in the next box of chocolate you buy. They also have plenty of deals during different holidays in the year. I highly recommend Birnn Chocolate for any occasion, as a thank you gift or a just because gift for someone special. There are no chocolates that disappoint here!

I had the blueberry and it was coated _fresh_ blueberries. Not easy to find something like that! Service: 5/5. They were happy to describe the different flavors and willing to give out samples. Store: 3/5. A bit cramped inside - I understand they wanted to keep the purchase area separate from the confectioner's area, but a bit too much square footage set aside for them behind the counter. You'll be walking around quite a bit and you may have to go back and forth a bit to get a full sense of what's on offer. Combine the store ambiance with the incredibly high prices (we all agreed it's at least 20% higher than other gourmet chocolatiers) and I can't give it a fifth star. But the chocolate itself? And the wonderful people? I can't possibly go under 4 stars total.

I've shopped here a few times over the years, moreso since moving into the area. They have a wide assortment of sweets, even stuff for people who don't like chocolate. Some of the items they have: - Fudge (obviously) - Chocolate covered fruit - Peanut brittle - Cordial cherries - Truffles - Licorice - Swedish Fish - Gummi bears and worms During my latest trip, I picked up some of their dark chocolate bourbon cherries that spend a week soaking in bourbon before being coated in a chocolate shell. I picked up some milk chocolate Oreos for my wife (she doesn't like dark chocolate). They have baskets and seasonal treats throughout the year (Valentine's, St. Patrick's, Easter, etc.) if you need to pick up a gift for someone. The inside may feel a little cramped during busier times of the year but that adds to the character and charm of a place that's been around since 1961!

My gf was in charge of getting the cake which she ordered from Sweet New Creations. The Mommy To Be is a huge Harry Potter fan & I honestly wasn't sure how we would incorporate this theme into a baby shower but we did and boy oh boy was the cake out of this world! The details were amazing! The little baby cake topper was so cute, and they gave instructions on how to keep her (to dry her out) which the mom will do. The cake not only looked amazing it tasted delicious also. Often so many of the ascetically nice looking cakes don't taste so good. In this case it was a win win all around. I usually just have a bite of cake to taste it as I am not a dessert eater but I ate the entire piece. Definitely will go there for cakes in the future!
