L.A. Burdick Chocolates
Winter ritual — hot chocolate destination.
My Take
The Cambridge Burdick's is the original, and it's a perfect Harvard Square stop. The hot chocolate is thick and rich — European-style, made with real chocolate. The cafe is cozy and intimate, ideal for a cold afternoon. The chocolate mice make great gifts.
Why It Matters
There's a reason Burdick's has been a Harvard Square institution for decades. It's one of those places that makes winter in Boston actually pleasant.
Best For
Cold weather afternoon treat, meeting a friend, post-bookstore stop
