Hands down the best chocolates and hot chocolate in all of Boston. In the summer, they make delicious iced drinks. They have a selection of fine Viennese-French inspired baked goods, of which the luxembourgers and kirsch cake are my favorites.
The granada single origin hot chocolate is to die for. The hazelnut paste chocolates are equally terrific.
