susan MOctober 2, 2016This is the best chocolate. They use excellent cocao and not too much sugar, so you really taste the chocolate. Yum! Favorites include snowmen, honey caramel, "Richelieu", pave glace and hot cocoa.
Went five days in row! Had milk hot chocolate, Madagascar hot chocolate, plain croissant & almond croissant...everything was delicious & customer service was spotless! I'll come back a million times!
Ido RosenDecember 11, 2014Everything! Wonderful ganaches. Hot chocolate is thick and rich, the small is heaven enough, the large is diabetes inducing. Cakes are delicious. You can't go wrong. But very pricey!!!- Ryan StinerSeptember 5, 2016Pro tip: Burdick's will automatically give you a to-go cup if there are no open tables. Send a member of your party to immediately secure a table while the other waits to place an order.
Whoaaa: drink a milk chocolate Burdick Mocha. So good - probably the most chocolatey mocha ever! Also the chocolate-raspberry cake is the perfect mix of ganache and fruit.- Ryan StinerSeptember 5, 2016There is a terrific variety of hot chocolates to try, from milk chocolate to spicy dark chocolate and single source chocolate. Come back every week and try them all.
Sophia HDecember 24, 2018Dark hot chocolate is deliciously and indulgently rich, dark, and decadent. Quite steep prices though -- $6 for a "large" cup, which is really just the size of a regular mug, maybe a bit smaller.
Gracie Liu-FangSeptember 25, 2013AMAZING milk hot chocolate and macarons. All of their macarons are good and don't have all that unnatural coloring you see in many other places. Awesome environment with great service.
TingJuly 22, 2015Indeed awesome the hot milk dark chocolate. For first timers go for the classic. After that can try the single source, which is even darker.

Louisa RigaliDecember 31, 2014A great way to warm up on a really cold night: Burdick Blend dark hot chocolates and a Harvard Square, for here!
Sarah NixonJune 18, 2017Cafe mocha was the best I've ever had. I was a little disappointed in the macaron but really the reason to go is the chocolate!- FavecastNovember 15, 2013Maddie really recommends the hot chocolate and various pastries at L.A. Burdick Chocolate, check out her Favecast recommendation here- http://www.favecast.com/47CdFpvZSb
BikaboutApril 16, 2014Famous for its chocolate mice and hot chocolate, and not without ample cause. Also an excellent place to pick up gifts.
KaitlinJune 27, 2017Have a Harvard Square! Very yummy, very rich. My iced Americano was pretty good, too.
Aside from the hot chocolate, which is so delish & rich you only need the smallest size, for a change, try the chai latte. Splurge on a macaron or 2.
This place is best for their dark chocolate, but they also pull the best shot of espresso in Harvard Square (unless you hike it to Simon's). Try both!
A SMarch 11, 2015If you love chocolate, you HAVE to go here. You won't go wrong with any of your selections.
Brian ChangSeptember 19, 2013I'm surprised no one has mentioned the cannelés! Extremely crusty exterior with a moist center. Could be more custardy - but the flavor is phenomenal!
Steph KatrinaFebruary 21, 2016Boutique chocolate store with delicious hot chocolate and candy. Great for dates
BlingcatJune 29, 2012The Boston Globe named Burdick’s hot chocolate as the best in Massachusetts, but don't leave without trying their lavender macaron!
Diffuse 5October 30, 2011The Apple Tart is scrumptious with just the right amount of sweetness and a fresh apple flavor.
Oh where do I begin.... Unique desserts and seasonal drinks. Buy a box of chocolate for that spoiled foodie. And get a hot chocolate for yourself- fabulous savingsFebruary 11, 2012Yummy chocolate frozen yogurts from BoYo! One of the many chocolatiers you'll visit while going on a chocolate tour through Boston.
Elie MouchrikApril 13, 2013Addictive Hot Chocolate. A piece of heaven on earth. Order it half Dark / half white for a premium tasting experience.
Although they don't have any vegan hot chocolate, they have vegan chocolate and they're delicious!
Mansi MohnaniJanuary 15, 2013Dark hot chocolate os to die for but make sure to ask for the demi. The small can be a bit heavy
Irene MJanuary 11, 2012I stopped here in my quest for the best hot chocolate in the world; this smooth, super-rich, flavorful cup is definitely in the running.
WayneNHOctober 17, 2010Best REAL hot chocolate in Boston or most of the US ... or most of Europe for that matter. Just enjoy.
Jenny MackintoshJanuary 8, 2012The lavender macaron, wrapped in a piece of wax paper for carrying, is the perfect chic treat. Pair it with a small dark chocolate and wander Harvard Square feeling decadent.
- try the 1/2 single source + 1/2 white/dark/milk chocolate! comes at the price of the hot chocolate and not the single source :)
Shaw Yean LimFebruary 13, 2012Wishing you had bought a bag of delicious hot chocolate blend? New Yorkers need not despair! For we have our very own Burdick's in the Flatiron District at 5 E 20th St, open 9 to 9 daily.
Monica ReksiedlerNovember 10, 2011Macaroons are $1 now... And rarely an available table! But so worth it!!!!
Quite possibly the best hot chocolate in town. Very limited seating though
Melissa XieSeptember 26, 2013Their hot chocolates are TO DIE FOR, especially their dark chocolate one.
Andy RoebuckMarch 4, 2010Best hot chocolate in Boston- make sure you check their small chalk board just to the right of the cash register for possible hot chocolate flavor of the day Read more
Larissa KatinskasOctober 16, 2016Chocolate is good, but the service really left me and my party extremely disappointed. It only works well if you take your order to go.
Najd almuhaitheefMarch 10, 2013Their dark hot chocolate is very good but their chocolate macaroons are a massive fail. They are too tough for my liking.
Leave a tip!!! Seriously. You guys are cheap for people who'll pay 5$ for hot chocolate.
Harvard UniversityDecember 8, 2009Try the macaroons (only 75 cents!), soak up the European atmosphere, and above all, do not miss the hot chocolate--as rich as it comes. Read more
Kavita BabaFebruary 17, 2015Pour some sugar on me. Or down my throat. As long as it's in the form of a dark hot chocolate.
