Lovely place, lovely Chocolates, Columbe Nizza Coffee. There is another business attached to this place which is a separate business which is a restaurant with separate hours and separate menus. They were at one time One Common Business. Two distinct and separate menus, schedules and staffs.

Very unique bakery & chocolate shop in the area. I love bringing visiting friends to give them a taste of something special in NH and I enjoy going there early with a book. I appreciate the pricing, as it's affordable to have a coffee and a selection of different pastries and desserts to try solo and with friends. Thanks for the wonderful service!

Beautiful place. They have the restaurant, a tea room and a chocolate shop all attached with different doors to enter for each. The chocolate shop has all handmade, delicious chocolates. They also make coffee, frappuccinos, hot chocolate and a bunch more goodies. They are always friendly and helpful. Place is always very clean every time I go in and is absolutely elegant looking place. They also make some chocolates with alcohol in them.. so cool! Each piece of chocolate is hand crafted and absolutely beautiful and delicious! I love how the proceeds from the elephant chocolates goes to saving the elephants❤

Great cappuccinos! We shop here frequently for artsy and tasty chocolate treats, mostly for gifts to friends and family. The treats are always well received!

We've enjoyed coming down here a couple times now. We have tried a few different hot chocolate drinks with an added shot of espresso. So far the Venezuela has been my most favorite. The pastries have been an enjoyable addition to our brunch.

I really hate writing bad review, especially about a business we have loved in the past, but yesterday's visit to the "Tea Room" and chocolate shop left us terribly disappointed, and I don't think they were simply having a bad day. My wife normally buys a lot of chocolate products, then orders a dark hot chocolate and a couple chocolate croissants. in the past, the hot chocolate has been a virtual orgasm for the taste buds. It's very creamy and rich and we've never experienced a better chocolate flavor. The drink we had yesterday was as if they mixed Swiss Miss with water. We ate the croissants for breakfast this morning and while there's normally delicious Burdick's chocolate in every bite, today's might have contained half a gram. We both chewed through the dry pastry and finally detected chocolate in ONE bite each. If the people at Burdick's want to lower their food cost, DON'T do it by selling a terrible product to your local, repeat customers. We are not there to find bargains, but to enjoy superior products. Raise your prices, but don't scrimp on the ingredients.

Absolutely a magical place! I went here on a recommendation from a coworker based on my travels through Brattleboro and she said this place cannot be missed and I totally agree! As soon as you walk in you are totally mesmerized. The string lights are breathtaking and the amount of chocolate items and just happy people are such amazing sight. My husband and I ordered their famous hot chocolate- I got dark and my husband got milk. Dark hot chocolate is honestly just so rare to me I had to get it- and I LOVE dark chocolate. This hot chocolate was out of this world- very pricey- but worth every sip! This cup will definitely fill you up for hours- it's so rich and creamy! My husband liked his milk chocolate more but I felt it was a little too sweet for my liking but it's all about preference here. After we had our hot chocolate we wanted to actually buy some legit chocolate that has been raved about. Prices are pretty intense but definitely can tell they put a lot of hard work into their craft. We got their milk chocolate caramels, dark chocolate hazelnut square, and two adorable penguins made of white and dark chocolate! Bill was hefty but we left happy and full of chocolate! Would recommend.

Great way to spend a lazy Sunday, IMO. We had a late lunch next door and popped on over for afternoon tea. We got the raspberry chocolate cake, Earl grey mouse, burdicks cookie, passion fruit chocolate cake, and of course Earl grey tea. I loved all the different flavors and textures of the cakes and fillings. I wish I could have bought chocolate but I was going to be traveling and didn't think the chocolate would make it. I'll just have to come back with my family in the future! Dr

A very nice meal, sadly marred by watching a waitress setting the next table. She held the spoons by their bowls, and the forks by their tines as she was placing them on the table- - - instead of grasping them by the handles. Hopefully that's not how the entire staff is being trained! And this was very unfortunate, because our meal was tasty, and the setting is very lovely. So overall it was an enjoyable meal until the very end when we saw how the silverware was being handled. Based on that, we would have to think long and hard about returning.

What an I say the chocolates are outstanding....pricey but with the one bite. Hot Chocolate is wonderful as well - ask them to add some hot milk as otherwise would be sweet! Enjoy!!

Burdicks offers artisan chocolates that are really delicious, rich and flavorful and very chocolatey. They come in a variety of forms including candies, cookies, cakes, mousse, etc. Take a gander at their shelves and you'll get the sense of different ways to consume your goodies. There's also a hot chocolate which is super rich and very thick, perhaps more than some people might prefer. We've always found the staffers here helpful and eager to direct us to various sections of the little shop. Prices are on the high side -- hot chocolate in excess of $7, for instance -- but keep in mind it's a specialty shop, and decide which chocolate appeals most. By the way, the smell in the shop is enough to make a chocolate lover feel near rapturous. Be warned!

Buyer beware! Burdick's products are outstanding, but their customer service is inexplicably poor. They billed but never fulfilled my order. They did not seem aware of their mistake until I called three days after it had supposedly shipped, to inquire why the tracking never progressed. I asked for a refund, which they handled promptly, but an explanation and an apology were never offered, Why did it take a customer calling for them to realize something was wrong? If I hadn't called, would they have eventually gotten around to notifying me and issuing a refund? A few weeks later, I sent a polite inquiry as to what went wrong, to see if I could have confidence in ordering from them again. Now several weeks more have passed, and they still have not responded. By being so indifferent -- let alone to someone who has been a repeat customer for years in their stores and the restaurant -- they have lost my business, and they don't even care!

I am not going to lie. I have a thing for hot chocolate, especially drinking chocolate. And this place did not disappoint. Their sweet little cup of no nonsense deliciousness was in my now Top 3 hot chocolates of all time. Thick and rich, flavorful and absolute perfection. I went with their recommendation for the cocoa of the month (it was July) and it was spot-on. We also shared a couple of scones that were baked perfectly and then we took a few chocolates to go. Loved that little mouse chocolate though I can't for the life of me remember what it was made of. It was delicious, nonetheless. Loved it.

Who doesn't like the smell of chocolate when entering any establishment?! From the entrance, everything looks delicious and sweet! Ordered the "Caramel Latte" with homemade caramel, pairing it with the "Chocolate Coconut Cake" (coconut japonaise, almond meringue, chocolate cake and like buttercream) as well as a 9oz "Chocolate Penguin" (made with dark chocolate ganache with a hint of lemon and toasted almond wings). Definitely a sweet morning/afternoon treat!

Amazing chocolates and scrumptious desserts. I would compare the quality of the chocolates to La Maison du Chocolat and the cakes to offerings at good French patisserie or German konditorei. This is our first time to the Walpole shop, but we have been to the shops in Boston and Harvard Square many times and have never been disappointed.

This is the best restaurant in New Hampshire and you will probably have a great time because of the food is good and the atmosphere is good

Service superior! Ambiance lovely! Chocolates fun & tasty! I ordered the lemon chocolate cake and would go back again for the same light lemon tang and sweet chocolate icing. Pricey but worth the visit! Great place to take out of town visitors.

What a charming little shop we found in New Hampshire. It's filled with artisan chocolate and fancy deserts. The one thing that stood out to me was their signature mice. They are a little pricy but you have to expect that from a shop like this. My husband and I got one mouse each. I got the milk chocolate which was delicious. Definitely worth the $4. Not sure if I would splurge on more than 1 though. Over all it's a must stop if you're in the area.

Love, love, love this place! I've been coming here for the past 25 years and have been here at least a half a dozen times. First saw Burdick years ago when it was featured on Martha Stewart. Had to come and see what they were all about. Today I had a dark/light chocolate cocoa with fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings. And I ordered the large! And I could have had two more! This place is so beautiful and has exquisite desserts. You won't be disappointed by their candy and they also have mail order. Oh, and did I mention the absolutely beautiful setting that they're in in Walpole, New Hampshire? It's just such a beautiful fun place to go. So what are you waiting for? First time I went I lived in San Francisco. All of the remaining times I came from Seattle. It's worth the trip

I would like to start the review by saying I had never been to a gourmet chocolate shop before, so I had no idea what to expect. While traveling on the east coast my wife decided she wanted to stop here to pick up a couple of gifts/souvenirs for her coworkers. This was a different experience all together for me. As someone who doesn't like chocolate this was definitely an oddity. They had all shapes and sizes of chocolates available at seemingly very high prices, including bars of chocolate (about the size of a Herseys) for up to 10 dollars. We picked up a couple of small chocolate mice, they offered maybe 1oz of chocolate for something like 4 dollars a piece. I hear these were very good, but it seemed like maybe I didn't have a sophisticated enough palate to distinguish this from Dove, or other commercially produced chocolate. That being said, all of the people I went with seemed to really enjoy theirs, so I'm mostly rating this place based off of ambience, selection, and their word that it was good high quality chocolates, although my white chocolate mouse didn't exactly impress.

Worst customer service, as several other customers have previously reported. When you are told there will be same day shipping and are charged accordingly $$$ - that's only true if you place your order before a specific time! If you order after their UPS cut-off time, you will still be charged for same day shipping, but order will NOT be shipped that day. I was not told that little detail when my orders were placed. My dissatisfaction was met with, "I'm sorry" with no consideration of even a partial refund. RoiseG

If you are into hot chocolate, or really any kind of chocolate, this is a must stop in Walpole. The storefront is adorable and fancy, luxury store meets small town New England charm. I was worried we were underdressed in hoodies and jeans, but after watching others come and go I realized a lot of the clientele are tourists in casual dress. Walking in, there is a large glass case filled with baked treats and past the case, the drink menu is above the counter. About half of the drink menu are various kinds of hot chocolate. They have descriptions with tasting notes for each chocolate to help you decide if you'd like to try one of their specialty single source chocolates, which is what I recommend. They also had several teas and espresso drinks. Seating indoors and out. We decided on a selection of treats: the raspberry tart, Linzer torte, Harvard Square, and chocolate raspberry cake. I think the raspberry tart may have been a special item because I didn't see it on their regular menu. It was my favorite. Buttery crust and so many raspberries, tart and not too sweet. The Harvard Square was also fantastic - it's this dense, fudgy chocolate cake with walnuts and chocolate ganache. The quality of the chocolate was top notch. I loved that while it was rich, again, it was not super sweet. The chocolate raspberry cake was more of the same, moist, rich, lots of chocolate flavor and not cloying. I think a lot of these desserts are geared more towards adults because nothing we tried was overly sweet, which I really appreciated. We did not sample any of their actual chocolates, but hope to next time. Apparently they are known for the chocolate mice, which were pretty adorable. For drinks, I got a caramel latte (made with homemade caramel!) and my fiancé got the single source Grenada dark hot chocolate. The tasting notes for his chocolate were banana, coffee, and nutmeg, and it delivered on all 3 and they came together in the strangest and most wonderful way. This is no Swiss Miss. This hot chocolate is not sweet. But man was it gooooood. I think it might be the best hot chocolate either of us ever had. My caramel latte was great, but it didn't compare to this hot chocolate. I would love to come back and get a few different ones so we could compare the difference in flavors each unique chocolate provides. One downside: this place is expensive. Maybe a little too expensive. It is a treat. I couldn't buy a $7.75 hot chocolate regularly. But if you know going in that this is a place where you are going to be treating yourself, it's totally worth the hit to your wallet. 10/10 would chocolate again (next time I won't eat everything so fast I forget to take pictures)

When I found out L.A.Burdick has a store/restaurant in New Hampshire - before my trip to Squam lake - I knew I had to visit. I have had their hot chocolate a few years ago, and it really is simply the best. Service was OK - but they definitely deserve five star for their product, and the atmosphere. The interior is beautifully decorated, it looks similar to old world confectionaries. I tried the iced version of the hot chocolate - it was heavenly. While Walpole itself is nothing out of the ordinary - if you are in the area, L.A.Burdick is worth the drive for the experience.

If you're in the mood to drink a melted chocolate bar, come here for hot chocolate. I will warn you - get a SMALL. The hot chocolate is so rich that it will fill you right up and make finishing a large nearly impossible. I combined the dark and milk chocolate and it was perfect (though next time I might go all dark). I think purely milk chocolate would be way too sweet.

-1 for customer service for an online order. Love their chocolate but I had a problem with an order for their Luxembourger cookies for valentines day. I sent an email. No response. Sent another and received a reply from a customer care representative. Problem is that the response didn't express any care for the customer. I was told that their "pastry chef tastes each batch to ensure quality, freshness and consistency between batches". Not one word expressing concern for my experience. Their rep basically implied that we didn't know what we were talking about. Despite having purchased holiday gifts for my staff each year from LA Burdick, I will find another company moving forward.

This can be short. THE BEST chocolate drinks I have ever tasted. THE BEST! Every single sip is heavenly. That alone is worth the trip. But add in: a quaint New England village; a warm, inviting cafe setting; this place is worth making a day trip to experience it. If I lived closer, I would be here every day. This is a dose of high cafe life in the middle of rural New England. Five stars is not enough.

Yelp
I have to agree with Cindy J below. The customer service is terrible. I was consistently talked down to and treated poorly while trying to rectify an issue over the course of three weeks. Eventually, I was told to send an email to reach a manager. Thus far, there has been no response after a number of days. At the prices they charge, customer service should be impeccable. This company seems to focus on growth over treating customers right. Since the original owner sold out, things have never been the same. There are too many quality chocolatiers out there. After being a customer for over a decade, LA Burdick will never see another cent of my money.

Great chocolate in the shape of bunnies, penguins, and much more. Good desserts to eat in their small cafe. The hot chocolate was too thick for me, but others might find it delicious. And it's next door to a great restaurant, Burdicks. Don't go to one without the other.

The chocolate mice are delicious! And beautifully presented in a little white box with elegant gold bow tied around it acknowledging the special celebration. In my case, my boss's 50th wedding anniversary! He spoiled each of us staff with a duo of chocolate mice. I loved going on to the website and reading about how these are made (it's a process that takes several steps over a few days!) I now totally love this cute lil fancy dessert! :)

I grew up on Old Walpole Road. Our house was located in Keene at the start of Old Walpole Road. As you would expect Old Walpole Road is the road they once took to Walpole village. Well I never knew growing up that Burdick's chocolates would fast become my favorite chocolate. I would have been making the trip up Old Walpole Road weekly to get my fix. I have to admit these are my favorite chocolates on the East Coast. Read some of my previous reviews and you will know my favorite on the West Coast. Walpole is a quaint New England town where all the buildings around the town square are painted white and quite grand. Burdick's chocolates can be found in the town square on Main Street. Walking into the shop you just know you are going to love it. They allow you to taste just about everything (so it seemed). There were sample trays everywhere you turned. I was that "kid in a candy store". the Healthy Bar Set is worth checking out. Order it via mail you won't regret it. Or if you find yourself in New England some fall day then be sure to stop in and stock up but please email me so I can put my order in as well. My mouth is watering all over my keyboard right now!

Great chocolates. Customer service was condescending and unsupportive. My package was not delivered was notified. When I reached out after 3 days of being told by UPS that the package would be delivered by the end of the day, I was told I had to wait and fill out a form. When I tried to speak with a customer service person at Burdicks I was met with a lecture about COVID, with no regard to my over 25 years as a good customer. My efforts to try to share more were met with additional lecturing. My package was eventually found, not on my road, but in a snow bank by someone who almost drove over it. The chocolates were frozen solid and no longer able to be used as a gift. My message from UPS was that the package was delivered to my front door last night. Or, next message, it was to be delivered by 9:00 today. Take your pick. I will address UPS as well. It takes just one poor experience to sour a years long customer relationship. Fortunately there are other chocolatiers who provide a superb product in Vermont. Customer service is critical. Burdicks lost me not based on their chocolate, but on their customer service.

What a beautiful place. Their Christmas decorations were just wonderful. I love their hot chocolate. They also have lovely gift boxes, and the chocolates are delicious. It's also nice that they're open early in the morning for coffee. The service can be kind of rude...I've been treated like an inconvenience when ordering. I can get past that, but it definitely might upset some people. After all, this is a pure luxury boutique. Part of the premium is treating yourself, so you should be able to expect to feel comfortable.

This review is for the ONLINE ORDERING DIS(SERVICE). An item (1 out of 11) was missing from my online order. They wanted me to send photo of items received, and of the outer box. I CANNOT PROVE A NEGATIVE. The rep was rude, the manager was rude, and I finally gave up on the $32 of merchandise I did NOT receive. They would not make good on it. A customer of the Cambridge store and online for 26 years (since 1994). I will no longer be doing ANY business with Burdick's. Done with this company. RUDE RUDE RUDE, and completely ILLOGICAL. I had already distributed the received items, so how could I send a photo? And, more importantly, what would that prove? Someone forgot to put one item in my box, an honest mistake or intentionally, and the customer has to suffer for it. HORRIBLE COMPANY. Will never shop here again.

My husband pointed out to me that my reviews here are tinged with negativity. I have high expectations and standards and a very discriminating palate! That said, this fancy-pants bistro in small-town-rural NH is a true gem. The soups, the bread, the cheeses, pastries, the steak frites, the omelettes, the coffee, the hot chocolate, the EVERYTHING is fabulous!! Oh, I forgot the chocolate - this is the kind of chocolate that you savour, nibble by nibble and it is sublime. My fave place to eat in NH. Wish there were more eating establishments like this

Stopped in after brunch and grabbed a delicious small hot chocolate that tasted like melted chocolate!!! It was DELICIOUS! I recommend only getting the small as it is very decadent! We did buy some other dessert items and several chocolates to share. I gave it only 3 stars because I thought the prices were a little high for the area... but it didn't stop us from spending.

Hoooooooly crap yelpers. Hot chocolate at L.A. Burdick is the best hot chocolate you will ever drink. This is not an exaggeration. I was in the neighbourhood for a wedding, and we had some time to kill, so the ladies all ventured over to Burdick's. Its located in an adorable old building, on Main Street, much like the town I grew up in. You half expect to turn around and see your neighbour. We drooled in the chocolate shop, but ultimately didn't get anything. I understand it is a gourmet store, but the prices are rather steep. I really couldn't afford more than the one small hot chocolate and macaron I purchased. Not to fear though! The bride and groom had thought ahead, and their wedding favours were three good sized chocolate hearts that I enjoyed in pieces throughout the next workweek. Delicious!

We stopped by this store on our way home from a trip to VT. A coworker of my wife's suggested we give them a shot and try their hot chocolate. The store is very clean and nicely set up. I must say the white hot chocolate was the best I have ever had. My wife got the milk hot chocolate and made me give up mine since it was so good. Unlucky for me, next time I will not be so willing to share. We also got a few chocolates which were also fantastic. It is a little on the pricey side but well worth the splurge. Its defiantly worth giving them a try. We will make our way back to this store in the future.

There is very much I could say about Burdick's in Walpole, but mostly I'll shut up, because the stuff behind the counter speaks volumes for itself, Suffice to say, this is the best hot chocolate served anywhere at any time in any place. Visited here with some friends during an early summer afternoon, had a scone and then...the piece de resistance...the hot chocolate! I've never had a better one and that's a fact. Usually when a place is built up so much it never seems to meet expectations. That is not the case with Burdick's, which is as good as advertised. Their other baked goods (Black Forest cake, most notably) were very tasty and would rank at least three stars on their own but the real selling point here is the chocolate. Service was relatively fast, despite the fact that the dining room was packed and there was a line at the counter...and I went in what was supposed to be their slow season. In all, treats for three came to a bit over $21, which, despite the price, was reasonable, given the quality of what we consumed. When I go to NH I typically travel up the eastern roads but whenever I'm in the western part of the state I make it a point to stop at Burdick's. It's chocolate heaven and always worth the trip. Pretty amazing, I'd say.

I am in love with this place! My first experience at Burdicks was during the holiday season. Maybe it was the snow, maybe it was the chocolate mice, maybe it was the breathtaking decor, but the entire store seemed magical. We purchased a handful of chocolates from the retail shop. Chocolate combinations that I never dreamed of, but were so incredibly decadent. We had chocolates with early grey tea, cardamom, pink peppercorns, and sea salt. We even had tiny chocolate penguins and mice. We savored each morsel, not wanting it to end! I must add he bag of chocolates (which given the fact that they are handcrafted, delicious, decadent and packaged so lovely!) was very reasonably priced!!!! We then went to the restaurant/cafe side and ordered beverages. My boyfriend ordered the richest, delicious mocha. It was made with Burdicks chocolate, which is out of this world. I ordered a honey-ginger-lemon concoction which I dream about to this day! I've even tried replicating the recipe at home, to no avail. We also tried the petite french macaroons, which are everything a macaroon should be! I tried pistachio and lavender. These are just as melt-in-your-mouth-delicious as the chocolates! We have visited the Burdicks in Cambridge, which is much closer to our home in Providence. While I enjoy everything they have to offer, the MA store seems to lack the magic that the NH seems to have. I dream of Burdick's, and have considered driving to the 3 hours just to get lost in the atmosphere with macaroons and hot chocolate!

Burdick's is known all over New England for the decadent chocolates they make. My friend gave Burdick's chocolate as her wedding favors! Before the wedding, she took me there to get a hot chocolate and it was divine! I have to say, it was the richest thing I've ever drank in my life, but it was delicious! If you happen to find yourself around Walpole, NH make sure to stop by Burdick's and get yourself a treat. It's especially nice in the chillier months!

Update - had a great meal here tonight. Coming for dinner, rather than lunch ... the prices didn't feel so disproportionate. (And since I didn't pay, they really weren't any issue!). My entree was very well executed - the seared sea scallops with some reduction (balsamic?) was nice, but the accompanying greens topped with a parsnip puree took the dish to another level. I also had a real nice butternut squash soup to start. The wine selections by the glass were not extensive, but adequate. I think there were half dozen solid options for red by the glass. By the way, some of the breads here are from Orchard Hill Breadworks, which is a bonus. I'd still feel underwhelmed at lunch (they could solve this real easy with a modified lunch menu), but for dinner - no issue, nicely done, 5 stars.

This honestly was one of my favorite spots back when I lived in NH- - my best friends and I would make the 40 mile or so trek from Hanover for dinner and a just a taste of their rich chocolates. It's honestly been years since I've had dinner here (Easter 2010 after getting lost on the Appalachian trail on what was supposed to be an easy hike... ), but I still remember my faves which included their charcuterie plate, the pate (yumm), and cheese plates. Loved the steak frites and the roasted chicken, and of course their chocolates. I'm obsessed with their hot chocolate and chocolate almonds. After celebrating several birthdays and holidays here with my best friends, I only have the fondest memories of this quaint, cozy restaurant and chocolate shop. I've been to their shops in Boston and Cambridge, and neither bring such pleasant memories as the shop in Walpole.

They have wonderful chocolates, coffee and tea. I'm so glad this is in Walpole. The hot chocolate is thick, but very delicious!! Makes awesome gifts as well!

This review is on the chocolate shop only, not the restaurant next door. Very good and unique chocolate confections. A little on the pricey side but on par with most "chocolatier" shops. Try the hot chocolate! It's made with their melted chocolate and is great on a cold day. There is a nice restaurant next door that is attached to the chocolate shop.
