Each visit has made me truly fall in love with this tiny little spot that ports you back to the…read moreside streets of France. I don't find it pretentious; rather, I find it humble and unique in the way it serves up phenomenal pastries that tickle every single corner of your palate. From the croissants, the turnovers, to the delectable desserts or macarons, not one detail is spared in the intricate process of making each item stand out. They sure make the French proud (as some of the patrons openly brag about this being closest to "home"). The friendliness that they greet you as you enter to the simple smiles and gestures accommodating any and every possible question you may have is truly what seals the deal for this spot. As I sit and slowly put away whatever pastry I decided to indulge in the moment, sipping on my cafe au lait, I get to watch as different locals enter and go, chatting up a storm with each other like long lost loves, before disappearing in delight with full bags in hand. Can't wait to be back. Definitely now a weekend staple.

Horrible customer service, rude, especially by the owner. The pastries are relatively good, but…read morethere are plenty of other establishments that are able to treat customers w a modicum of respect.

A lot of options, but the food looked poorly made and the macaroons didn't taste that good. The…read moremiddle of the macaroon wasn't great either, it was almost like it had no real filling, just soggy and not very satisfying. They also didn't have much of a taste. They also had a large menu but only a few of them were actually in the store. It was very understocked. They did have clear gluten labels though, which was helpful. Overall, it's too expensive for the poor quality and I didn't even finish the ones I bought

Went here and the only thing that kinda bummed me out was the service. The employee was either having a bad day or just wasn't feeling it at all. Idk. We worked with it b/c in the end we just wanted our macaron. Overall, the prices were a bit high, but the macarons were delicious. In the end we would come back but when we looked for dessert the next evening, we definitely chose ice cream instead. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 3 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Modern little dessert place that's nestled in Cambridge. It's small but serves it's purpose Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no

Today, I visited at around 4 or 5 pm, and many of the macarons were already gone. We got a box of 6, but it seemed that you can get any quantity. The flavors are interesting. We went with pretty much only classics, but nine of them missed.

I absolutely love Burdicks and have been coming here for years. The hot chocolate is to die for and…read morethe chocolate mice are always a hit as a gift. 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!

They had a thin string on the back to mimic a tail, which also helps keep your hands clean--a fun and thoughtful design. The cocoa and milk flavors were pure and rich, with a smooth and silky texture. I personally didn't find it too sweet. My friends who tasted it also raved about it. Pavé Glacé: The best of the bunch. Made in the same way as nama chocolate生チョコ--frozen chocolate ganache, but this one had a fine layer of cocoa powder, making it denser and more solid. It melted in mouth and starts to linger, with a more distinct flavor profile from bitter to sweet to fragrant. Sesame Truffe: Two pieces in one serving was perfect. A thin layer of light cocoa powder on the surface, the shell was so crisp that it crumbled in mouth, and the flowing filling with nutty and caramel flavors immediately spills out. However, I didn't taste much sesame; it's closer to hazelnut, the classic chocolate flavor, and a bit on the sweeter side.
