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!

This 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 .

Ido Rosen

Everything! 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 Stiner

There 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.

Charlotte L

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 .

Gracie Liu-Fang

AMAZING 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.

Ting

Indeed awesome the hot milk dark chocolate . For first timers go for the classic. After that can try the single source , which is even darker.

Ryan Stiner

Pro 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.

Dark 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.

Sarah Nixon

Cafe 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 !

Daniel Grayson

The signature dark may be the best cup of hot chocolate in the world.

Louisa Rigali

A great way to warm up on a really cold night: Burdick Blend dark hot chocolates and a Harvard Square, for here!

Sofia Uz

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

BU Today

Burdick's secret to its famous hot chocolate : hand-shaved chocolate warmed in milk -- decadence. For dessert , try the Harvard Square: a dense chocolate cake layered with walnuts and vanilla . Read more

Jenny Mackintosh

The 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.

Philip Seifi

Extremely delicious, beautiful chocolate , hot drinks and cake .

Shaw Yean Lim

Wishing 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.

If you love chocolate , you HAVE to go here. You won't go wrong with any of your selections.

I M

I stopped here in my quest for the best hot chocolate in the world; this smooth, super-rich, flavorful cup is definitely in the running.

Rebecca Rivera

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.

Brian Chang

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the cannelés! Extremely crusty exterior with a moist center. Could be more custardy - but the flavor is phenomenal!

Elie Mouchrik

Addictive Hot Chocolate . A piece of heaven on earth. Order it half Dark / half white for a premium tasting experience.

Kaitlin

Have a Harvard Square! Very yummy, very rich. My iced Americano was pretty good, too.

Blingcat

The Boston Globe named Burdick’s hot chocolate as the best in Massachusetts, but don't leave without trying their lavender macaron !

Yummy chocolate frozen yogurts from BoYo! One of the many chocolatiers you'll visit while going on a chocolate tour through Boston.

The Apple Tart is scrumptious with just the right amount of sweetness and a fresh apple flavor.

Tristan

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!

William Nelligan

Iced hot chocolate . Sit down and try to spot an academic celeb.

ᴡ B

Everything is amazing here. If you don't like chocolate , this place will convert you. And if you do, it's a cocogasm.

Mansi Mohnani

Dark hot chocolate os to die for but make sure to ask for the demi. The small can be a bit heavy

Mark J.

This is the top stop for hot chocolate and drinking chocolate in the city !

Ali

Quite possibly the best hot chocolate in town . Very limited seating though

Monica Reksiedler

Macaroons are $1 now... And rarely an available table! But so worth it!!!!

WayneNH

Best REAL hot chocolate in Boston or most of the US ... or most of Europe for that matter. Just enjoy.

Zacky Ma

Earl Grey Mousse is very earl grey . ????????

Ryan Nixon

Love sipping chocolate , good macarons too

Melissa Xie

Their hot chocolates are TO DIE FOR, especially their dark chocolate one.

Mydhili

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 :)

Mea Gorham

Drinks don't taste any different in porcelain or paper so just enjoy the best chocolate in town however you were blessed with it

Vivian Vo

White hot chocolate !! Get the small... They're super sweet but delicious

Andy Roebuck

Best 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

Michal Palmon
