Petrova Chocolates — Restaurant in Boston

I cannot recommend Petrova Chocolates (and Betty) enough. Kind & welcoming experience, DELICIOUS & gorgeous chocolates, that were unique flavour combinations. I am a massive foodie, and the flavour combinations were so creative. It's not close to where I stay in Boston, but I will make the trip every time!

The real reason I am writing this review, though, is that we also did a chocolate making class that was beyond phenomenal. I found Petrova because I wanted to do some cooking classes with my nephew (13) as a birthday present. I looked everywhere for a class, and this was one of the only ones. I am so glad it was because it was so unique and special. It was just me and my nephew. We learned so much, and had so much fun. We made 32 Bon Bons, and the flavours were chosen after Stella asked us our favourite flavours. We used all her (very cool) equipment, and we got to do everything ourselves. Even in the time we were waiting for the chocolate to cool, she had other things for us to do. It was an amazing bonding experience we will never forget.

For what it's worth, while I was in Boston, I did do some other savoury cooking classes, and this chocolate class was not only so much better, but was so much more hands on, and just better quality...for the same cost.

Just awesome. Make the trip. Or if you are...

Petrova Chocolates, and Betty Petrova herself, deserve the highest praise. First and foremost, the quality of her chocolatier work is absolutely stunning - the flavors, quality of ingredients used, the artistry of the shell design, the chocolate watermark at the bottom, and the care with which the bonbons were shipped comprised some of the finest work I've ever seen. The fact that Betty personally consulted with me to choose the right flavors (I went for Mango, Hazelnut, Yuzu, and Passionfruit, and thought that was the best order in which to eat them!) for my wife/daughter/my truly last-minute wedding and baptism, and was able to ship the chocolates on time with clear instructions on lead time, was exceptional. We included the chocolates along with a small 2-pack cookie from "Top Shelf Cookies" and a custom candle as party favors for our small group of guests. I cannot recommend the quality of these amazing confections, and of the exceptional customer service of Betty herself, enough. I'm struggling to think of another special occasion to use her services, so I will likely just keep ordering them for myself, for no reason...

A gem of a find and well worth the little detour to get to its quiet doors! A discreet boutique right in the middle of a rapidly developing corner of town, with the kind of rare artisanal selection and personalized care you’d expect in Paris, Geneva, Singapore—you’ll want to buy your gift boxes and special bars right here. The owner, a lovely Bulgarian patisserie chef, greets and guides you through the freshly-made assortment (gorgeous combinations in both flavor and appearance), and offers a small ice pack to keep your purchase chilled in case you’re going to be in the heat for over 20 minutes. Such service and attention to detail. In short: a jewel and a...
