L.A. Burdick Handmade Chocolates
220 Clarendon St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Boston institution draws crowds for its legendary hot chocolate, a rich and silky signature drink that keeps locals and visitors coming back despite the premium price tag. Beyond the chocolate magic, L.A. Burdick shines as a welcoming spot for lingering over exceptional pastries and creative specialty drinks in a clean, friendly atmosphere that feels as much like a gathering place as it does a destination shop. Fair warning: lines are common at this busy location, but the quality and warmth of the experience make it worth the wait.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
