Top Chocolatiers in Cambridge and Boston
1
Beacon Hill Chocolates (Boston, Massachusetts)
Do you like supporting female entrepreneurs? Well, we do too! Beacon Hill Chocolates was opened in 2009 (16 years ago) by chocolatier Paula Barth. It’s one of the most awarded shops in the city including a multiple time winner of “Best Chocolatier in Boston” by Boston Magazine. Paula travels extensively to source and procure the finest and rarest confections and ingredients from chocolate masters around the world. Paula selects every artisan chocolate for the shop. They specialize in small batch handcrafted chocolates from Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Brazil and the United States and are known for their unique flavor offerings. What chocolate is Boston known for? There are many local chocolates here. We visit Beacon Hill Chocolates on our award-winning Boston Chocolate Tour!

Atelier Colette (Boston, MA)
This off the beaten path spot makes their homemade chocolate bars and designs from scratch using the best ingredients. Have you ever been to the State House? The shop is right outside. This shop was opened by store owners Nathalie and Frank who are from France. They originally opened Colette Bakery in Medford, a second Colette Bakery in the South End and then they opened Atelier Colette. The chocolatiers that work in their shop are from France and make everything onsite although they source the actual chocolate from France (Chocolate Opera France). Their head chocolatier is Yann Dufour. We stop here to try single source chocolate, white chocolate, and a chocolate beverage on our Boston Chocolate Tour. Often folks visit la burdick chocolates. But these stores are better. And so is our tour. You MUST try it! Learn more about our favorite restaurants on our award-winning food tours of Boston.

Parlott Chocolate (Boston Public Market, Boston, MA)
Parlott was established by Lucilene Parlott who grew up in Brazil and helped her mother make chocolates from the cocoa beans farmed by her father. After moving to the US, she continued the family tradition of producing artisan chocolates to sell online and at a brick and mortar location in Westwood. That store closed, and she recently opened a vendor booth for chocolate in boston inside the Boston Public Market in 2024 and makes all of her chocolates onsite using only the finest ingredients. She also likes to add a touch of her native Brazil by incorporating tropical flavors. Try it together with our friendly guides on our Boston Chocolate Tour.

Spindler Chocolate (Cambridge, MA)
We often visit Spindler Chocolate on our Davis Square, Somerville Food Tour. The owner Jeremy Spindler keeps the operation a boutique one in order to preserve the quality and uniqueness. Living right next door, we would wander in on neighborhood walks and love exploring their unique chocolate museum as well. Sometimes you can catch a chocolate class too if you check their website. We love their caramels, bon bons, and fluff treats. Try on our award-winning food tours of Boston.
5
Somerville Chocolate (Somerville, MA)
Owner Eric has ancestors from Somerville, so you can’t get more authentic than him. Inside of Aeronaut Brewery, Eric has created a genius set up where he takes roasted cacao beans and creates the most interesting and delicious local bars of chocolate. He also often rents space to other micro-entrepreneurs, so keep your eye on this spot. Every detail from the taste to the packaging is well refined and a joy to be a part of. For this reason and more, we sample Eric’s roasted cacao beans on our educational Harvard Square Chocolate Tour and Boston Chocolate Tour. Join us to discover these local flavors of unique Boston neighborhoods.
Look forward to seeing you on our Boston Chocolate Tour this weekend!
