Contents

T-stop: Harvard Square

Cardullo’s – 6 Brattle St. 617-491-8888

  • Definitely worth going back to next year.


L. A. Burdick’s – 52 Brattle St. 617-491-4340

  • Good ending place.


Finale – 30 Dunster St. 617-441-9797, Or in Boston – 1 Columbus Ave, Boston 617-423-3184

  • Another good ending point.


Pemberton Farms – 2225 Mass Ave, Cambridge. 617-876-2711

  • Kind of a long walk (bus runs right past here, though).
  • Worth going back to.


T-stop: Kenmore Square

Temper Chocolates – 500 Commonwealth Ave. 617-375-2255

  • Very good.


T-stop: South Station

Serenade Chocolatier – In South Station. 617-261-9941

  • Maybe not worth going back to. Very small and pretty expensive


T-stop: Hynes

Trader Joe’s – 899 Boylston St. 617-262-6505

  • Good for buying cheaper chocolate, but I don’t think this is really what ppl were expecting.


Truffles Fine Confections – In the Prudential Center

  • Expensive, but people liked it.


Teuscher – 230 Newbury St. 617-536-1922

  • Expensive, but interesting. Definitely worth going back to.


Suggestions for next year

  • Have a training day or something for volunteers – take them to all the shops and give them some good info.
  • Charge a small fee – people would have paid to come I think
  • Advance sign up – better prepare for the expected volume of people
  • Smaller tour groups (probably taken care of with the advance sign up deal)
  • Make it clear that we need volunteers. This really needs to have small groups, and volunteers seem scared to help. So we need to make sure we have them to help!
