I went to Serenade Chocolatier on Harvard Street in Brookline Village to get their scrumptious truffles to give out to my guests at a recent special birthday celebration dinner. When I walked into the shop I almost fainted from the divine smell of chocolate! ! The majority of the chocolates are made on the premises. The variety and displays are impressive! Monica, the manager was a sheer delight, so lovely, warm, friendly, patient, extremely helpful, and took so much time to give me special attention. Monica was so creative and the end result was 35 exquisitely wrapped small boxes, each containing 2 truffles, that melted in your mouth!! Each one had the name of an individual guest with the table assignment - beautiful, creative presentation!!! It made a significant impression on my guests and added a special touch to my event! Many thanks Monica!!! Now that I know where you are I will be back to see...
Read moreThis place is absolutely magical! The owner who I got the chance to meet, is wonderful, kind, and so attentive. You can definitely tell she has a passion for her life's work. The chocolates speak for themselves. I thought they were just going to be like all the other ones I've tried but boy was I pleasantly surprised. All kinds of fillings, vegan options, flavourful, and combinations so carefully thought out. My heart was so full and happy leaving here. And my belly was even happier eating all of them. I'll definitely come back to try the seasonal stuff like the vegan ice cream pops, and hot cocoa balls. Just the smell walking into the shop fills you with all the wonderful childhood memories and puts a smile on your face. I highly recommend this speciality chocolate shop....
Read moreOh. My. Gosh. I have been shopping here for years (and years), and found myself spontaneously nearby today. I popped in, picked up a little cellophane bag of delicious milk chocolate discs with non pareils sprinkled on top -one of my favorites here. Decided to also get a couple of pieces of milk chocolate bark, and that is what I am writing about! Almost indescribably delicious and fresh! The almonds are about the best I’ve ever had in my life. Monica, the Scottish Chocolatier -with a voice I told her I could listen to all day long - was so kind, warm and helpful - and at the end of of a long day too! Run, don’t walk to this neighborhood Gem for delicious and beautiful chocolate treats...
