Cocoanuts Boston

This is my favorite chocolate shop in Boston. Tara Shea, the store manager, knows an abundance about her chocolates. Ask her for the chocolates she finds the most interesting and she will give you the whole tour. The macaroons are some of the best in Boston, and they are locally made. My personal favorite, is the chocolate «salami» (a high density roll of chocolate, nuts and dried fruit), but that’s because I like quantity. Check out the Black Lava Sea Salt Caramels, if you are looking for something new and delicious. The honey and cocoa chocolate from Pure 7 is also a good choice.

Amazing little shop in the North End of Boston. Great gluten free and vegan options as well. Highly recommend.

Seemed to have typical high-​end chocolatier prices. One of the chocolates I tried was exceedingly delicious (spiced red pear?), but the other was just pretty good (orange?). The dark chocolate malt balls are pretty good. I’m curious to try some of their other chocolates.

Tucked in a little side street in the North End is this fabulous little artisan chocolate shop! As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with a smile & an invitation to look at everything. And believe me, we did! The shop itself is very charming… you take a few steps down & you enter the store made of brick. It’s that kind of old-​fashioned-​wonder-​what-​used-​to-​be-​here feeling!
OK…so let’s get to the chocolate! And I must say… I’ve NEVER had chocolate like this before! First of all, everything is beautifully packaged… perfect for instant gift-​giving! I bought a simple chocolate bar for my mom that was wrapped like a painting. Just beautiful! There are other bars that are decorated with flowers… on the chocolate! The truffles are beautiful and delicious! The nut mixes are amazing! The perfect yin to the chocolate’s yang. And I tried a macaroon for the first time… OMG! How can they make something as perfect as that???
Everything we bought (spent over $ 100, which is easy to do because everything is amazing!) was perfect. And the taste? Nothing like I’ve ever had! The candy & chocolate items were not ultra sweet… not the toffee… not the malted milk balls… not even the chocolate, peanut, peanut butter nougat bars. My guess is that the places that make these little treasures use the VERY best of every ingredient! And it shows.
You can tell the owners of this shop care about quality, care about supporting artisan chocolate and candy companies, and care about their customers… because they make sure they get the best of everything!
A cute store… amazing products… and wonderful customer service! What more could you ask for? I’m looking forward to visiting again!

Friendly staffer dished out samples as you enter the recessed space, but ended up with a tasty $ 1.90 black raspberry about half-​covered by a $ 1 LevelUp credit.

One of the only places in Boston that actually has coveted (delicious) French macaroons! They get them from a great bakery in Somerville on a regular basis.
I’m thankful to have someone in the neighborhood that can cater to my cravings :)

Everything that comes out of this place is can’t-miss amazing.

I just love this little chocolate shop in the North End. They have lots of chocolates, snacks, and even dog treats! They have a section of vegan chocolates and gluten-​free ones too. The staff here are always helpful, kind, and accommodating. The selection is great, and they often have in-​store events where you can sample chocolates. Check out this gem in the North End!

This shop was a very nice small surprise to find while I was being a tourist in Boston. The cashier was very helpful and didn’t try to sell me the farm. I bought a couple of pieces and was happy I stopped in.

A hidden gem in Boston’s North End. A cute little shop full of chocolates, healthy snacks and candy. It is a cute little shop where the owner was full of tidbits of what to buy and what goes with what. The truffles were tasty and everything was made by small business owners. Everything I tasted was rich and chocolatey and if you’re in the area definitely stop by!

If you like hand crafted flavoured chocolates you want to make it a point to go to Cocoanuts. The baclava, drunken pumpkin, sticky bun and birthday cake sundae flavored morsels were incredible. Better than the Godiva treats we had yesterday and so good we’re plotting how to «drop by» again before we leave even though the rest of our plans take us no where near the shop. Certain to become a north end destination spot.

Best sweets and the macaroons are to die for! Dana was awesome and so helpful. Must stop sweet shop!

I LOVE chocolate. I have maybe once said that I could stay single all my life as long as I had chocolate. So thank the stars for Cocoanuts!
Everything about this place is outstanding. The chocolates are perfectly picked and curated. I love knowing what I am eating and where it is coming from and this place from the owner down to the staff have it covered!
I have probably had at least every single item this store sells. So I will go with my top favorites.
The Dick & Taylor sea salt and black fig bar. Whoa… this is a standard purchase for me. As in I need one of these at least once a week.
The Kalamansi Macaron… insane.
The Goat Milk Caramel… this is literally a high end, insanely delicious milk way.
I will stick with those three, but I could go on and on about everything else. It is easy to get trapped on the street that is Hanover, but in the North End, the best places are just off the beaten path. So do yourself a favor and turn down Parmenter St for a truly delicious experience.

I really enjoy their macarons, which are actually from northlight baking co but I don’t think she has a retail location, so as I understand it she bakes her macarons to order as well as for a couple local shops that sell them. London fog is my favorite (flavored with earl grey tea!) but today I tried the Kalamansi (a citrus fruit that tastes like a kumquat-​lime mix) and it literally tasted like bite-​size key lime pie. Amazing if you like tart and sweet!
Also, impressive chocolate selection. I love that there is such a great variety – everything from bacon-​topped dark chocolate to raw minimally processed types. I’m a fan of the Coffee PURE bar from Handmade by 2 Moms.
Check their website too for free tastings events, I usually get emails about them but can’t go because they are often on Saturdays when I work.

LOVED the place and the chocolates.
more later

Very friendly, nice local stuff.
Wife & I came to visit Boston from New York and popped in to this place while walking around in the North End. This place has a lot of delicious treats to choose from. The lady at the counter was really sweet and explained everything so nicely. She even gave us free samples.
Love the coconut chips!

When five of us shared chocolates from Cocoanuts, there was only silence, followed by, «Oh, my! That is incredible!» You will not be disappointed. The store itself is a work of art, with beautiful displays. The staff are very friendly and enjoy talking about their venture and the candy makers who create the works of art. I’m still tasting the variety of flavors, and remembering the beautiful designs. I can’t say enough about Cocoanuts. If you are reading this, I encourage you to go and experience it for yourself. I know we will be back soon!

Three words: Beer. Pretzel. Caramels.
[slightly burnt sugar + pretzel-​y crunch + chewy, buttery base + salt crunch + nutty, bitter beer undertones = salivating all over this keyboard]
If you’ve never said «I have too much money,» avert your eyes from all the beautiful chocolates and head straight for the caramels. They’re about a buck, and pack every flavor and texture you could want into two bites. Next time you’re in the North End, you best be stopping in here for one of these Wonka-​licious treats.

I’m a big patron of the chocolate arts. I love the variety of chocolates available in this shop, but they don’t make their own chocolate — they get it from sources around the country. That said, the sources are very good ones so you get quality goods. But you pay for that quality, make no mistake. But cheap chocolate? Life is TOO short for that chum.
They take LevelUp (awesome!), credit cards and cash — so feel free to splurge. I purchased a box of dark chocolate bon bons and truffles for my anniversary and couldn’t resist one of the dark chocolate-​covered Ring Dings. YUM. And I also bought some malted milk balls — just because.
Fabulous!
I just wish they made their own, but a boy can’t have everything…
Plug for the Coconuts neighbor:
If you go to Cocoanuts, and you should if you like chocolate and are in the North End, stop by the Sulmona Meat Market next door and take home some meat. It is AMAZING — I highly recommend the sausage. (Just bring cash…)

Alright, so I’m in the North End with my honey for the first time in 5 years (we have teenagers, for better and worse), and we are having a wonderful time on a beautiful day. After a super lunch at a place with a tacky name, we head for more walking, this time to burn off some of that butter etc.
We fall right into a free tasting at Cocoanuts, and start sampling this AMAZING assortment of chocolates that are to die for. Well we had to buy some.
The people there are very nice, and the store is lovely. They are new, and it’s nice to support new stores. Hope you’ll try it too.
