La Burdick in Cambridge has been my go-to spot for years, and it’s become a tradition to bring friends and family here whenever they visit. From the moment you walk in, the warm smell of chocolate greets you like an old friend. Their signature hot chocolate is an experience in itself—rich, velvety, and decadent enough to make you forget every mediocre cup you’ve ever had. The pastries? Absolute perfection. I’ve probably sampled every tart and macaron over the years, and they never disappoint. Each one feels like a little edible masterpiece. The only downside? On busy days, finding a table can feel like trying to win the lottery. But honestly, standing with a cup of their hot chocolate in hand isn’t the worst fate in the world. La Burdick is the kind of place you keep coming back to because it always delivers. Whether it’s a cozy winter escape or just an excuse to indulge, it’s become a staple in my life—and I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon. Highly recommend!

I've been here a few times and really love the warm atmosphere. Their hot chocolate is so creamy and delicious, but not too sweet (especially the dark hot chocolate). Lovely for a date or to bring the family. Just show up a little early, because it is usually packed!

My favorite is the hot chocolate. Can't go wrong with any or all of the chocolates. The chocolate boxes are fantastic gifts. The chocolate mice and penguins are classic L.A.Burdick!! The staff are friendly and make it a wonderful experience.

L.A. Burdick Handmade Chocolates is a cozy, elegant chocolate shop and café in Boston’s Back Bay that feels like stepping into a European chocolate salon. Known for its artisanal approach, L.A. Burdick is all about quality, detail, and unforgettable flavor. Here’s why it stands out: Their signature chocolate mice and penguins are as adorable as they are delicious. The hot chocolate is legendary—rich, velvety, and made from real melted chocolate (choose from dark, milk, or white). They serve French-style pastries and elegant desserts that pair perfectly with their drinks. The atmosphere is warm, quiet, and beautifully decorated—perfect for a cozy afternoon or a thoughtful gift stop.

Oh CHOCOLATE !!! For those whom love chocolate, this place was HEAVENLY !!! :) Our friends took my wife and me to L.A. Burdick's Handmade chocolates. It was originally to have a cup of hot chocolate but we definitely did not stop at that ! :). Firstly, their hot chocolate was a nice deep rich chocolate flavor (not too sweet, not too bitter --- seriously it was just right and perfect because I was freezing in Boston !!! :). After drinking a cup, we did a bit of shopping for gifts and they have seriously cute chocolate gifts there. I think I was most impressed by the man behind the cash register. He definitely had a passion to talk about the chocolates, how they select their cocoa beans and everything and make the chocolates themselves. He told me a bit about the history of their chocolate store too. But, it was obvious, he had that chocolate passion (thanks for sharing I can't wait to go back someday and get more chocolate from your shop) Would I go back there again ? ABSOLUTELY !!! I loved it so much, I tagged it in my Google Maps GPS !!! (so I can remember how to get there :) 2025-04-05 we went back again for their hot chocolate. Great stuff !!!
