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.

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!

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!

There is no shortage of high end, luxury purveyors of chocolate in this area, but this was exceptional in our opinion. First, the staff was very knowledgeable about all of the offerings (individual chocolates, macaron, pastries) and offered us samples. They know what they are doing because once you taste, they know you will buy. These are pricey confections, but we felt well worth it. Our selection of chocolates was packed up nicely, and they even provided a small ice pack given the hot weather today. Stop in and give them a try, we left with a big smile!

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!

There aren't a ton of chocolate offerings but they do have packaged bars near the register. Would come back. One staff at register, didn't talk too much when we were in store but guess they didn't really need to people understood what to do!

It sits comfortably on the corner of JFK and Winthrop Street, right in the midst of Harvard Square. Which figures because this place is bougie as hell! Just the same, we're eternally grateful to have met its acquaintance. Because this place is the real deal when it comes to macarons. Ya know how some grocery stores sell macarons in a box or something? Yeah, those are basically the generic version compared to the ones sold here. These ones are on another level entirely! We got the variety pack, of course. And so far, my top two personal favorite flavors are the Tiramisú and Chocolate Amorino. The experience tasting these is impossible to describe in words worthy enough to dignify. Let's just say....it's enough to ascend your consciousness into low orbit. The process of ordering is simple enough or strangely foreign (no pun intended), depending on if you're a Zoomer or a Boomer, respectively. They use kiosks. Exclusively. It's a little weird, because there is what appears to be a main register with people standing behind it. Only their main task is to prepare your order and call out your name once it's ready. This is better, IMHO because talking to people is hard (sometimes). I dunno what it is. But most times, it seems easier to get the details of an order right when it's neatly selected and typed out on a screen. Besides, tap-to-pay is where it's at. Oh, and for those of you who are wondering what Gelato is, it's a specific type of Italian ice cream. Without getting into the exact percentages of the various lactose components it's made of, that's the simplest way I can explain it. *Obligatory disclaimer: I am not an ice creamologist. I think this is gonna be our dessert spot whenever we venture back to Cambridge. And next time, I am SO getting my own 12 pack of macarons with my two favorite flavors in it. No doubt about it, Amorino Gelato is worth 5 creamy Tiramisú macarons transcending my cortex beyond the stratosphere out of 5.

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!

This was my first time checking out the Fenway location. My first Van Leeuwen experience was over…read moreon Mass Ave, but parking over there can be horrible, so this location was much easier to deal with. 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.
