I absolutely loved the virtual tasting we did for a work retreat with Anya! I was very impressed with Anya and all of the knowledge she has; she knows her chocolate stuff! She was also very personable.The chocolate that we tried was awesome too, and Im not even a huge fan of chocolate. Im also very glad that the chocolate they send is allergen friendly. Im vegan, and Im glad that I was still able to participate in this with my coworkers.10/10!!!

Anya hosted a wonderful chocolate tasting for a work happy hour that I was planning! Couldnt be happier with this company and how easy they were to work with during the planning and the shipping options offered (could ship to both US and Canadian attendees!). Anya was a wonderful host throughout the happy hour and is extremely knowledgeable and passionate on the subject which made it even more enjoyable. All of our attendees really loved it and took away so many learnings from the session. Thanks again for the wonderful experience and I cannot recommend enough to anyone looking for a fun and unique happy hour idea!

This was an amazing team building event! I really enjoyed learning about all the different types of chocolate, the cacao & chocolate making process and getting to try the different bars. Anya did an incredible job! I would highly recommend trying this out.

This was the most fun Ive ever had in a virtual event! I had no idea there was so much to chocolate, the history, the manufacturing, and the differences between flavor and taste. All the chocolate tasted amazing and I am normally not a fan of dark chocolate but these were exquisite and luxurious!Anya was a pure delight and she is so knowledgable and clearly LOVES what she does. 10/10 recommend

Anya hosted a virtual chocolate tasting for our staff retreat (virtual this year thanks to Covid) and it was INCREDIBLE! She was incredibly knowledgable and generous with her explanations, and her passion for ethically-sourced chocolate shone through everything she taught us. They easily accommodated multiple staff dietary restrictions and were flexible with our scheduling when we had to make a last-minute adjustment.Im already thinking up an excuse to hire them again for another tasting!

My team at work was looking for a fun celebration activity to host over Zoom, and we absolutely found it with the Gourmet Boutique virtual tea and chocolate tasting! Anya made the process SO easy and even shipped out the (incredibly delicious) tasting selections to several different home addresses across the country. Adam made the virtual tasting experience fun, entertaining, and so informative. HIGHLY recommend this virtual activity as a really fun (and did I mention incredibly delicious!?) team-building and learning experience!

Anya did a virtual chocolate tasting for our companys virtual staff retreat and it was SO fun! The chocolate was packaged in a delightful way that was a treat to open. She offered so much education regarding the variety of ways chocolate is made, how to taste variance among origin areas, and the best ways to create a lovely chocolate tasting experience. I learned so much and cant wait to share this experience with my partner, using the provided materials as a guide!

I just attended a fabulous virtual chocolate tasting led by Anya and would highly recommend it to all! The 5 full chocolate bars they ship to you (protected in a nice foil bag with mini cold packs) are some of the best Ive ever had and they have a great mission to support chocolate makers using ethically sourced ingredients. Anya provided fun information about each chocolate bar/maker and I loved the trip around the world concept. It has definitely made me more mindful of what chocolate companies I choose to support and excited to try products from all the small craft chocolate makers who are playing with such creative flavors and methods! Chocolate Renaissance indeed :)

Anya hosted a wonderful virtual, corporate team-building for us today. She was knowledgeable and entertaining and the chocolate selections were unique and delicious! I enjoyed the session and learned a lot too. I highly recommend her and her products!

Such an amazing experience, Anya was so knowledgable and fun to learn from! Not to mention how accommodating they were to last minute hanges/hiccups! I already had high expectations and they totally exceeded them, thank you for a lovely staff bonding experience!!

Our company did a tasting session with them, and I was so blown away by not only the deliciousness of all these amazing gourmet craft chocolates from all over the world, but also by the knowledge of the ethics of cacao industry. I love how the founder is so passionate about the products and the industry. It makes all the difference when you truly care about the sustainability of the environment. I will definitely considering buying from them for families and friends.

Anya hosted a wonderful chocolate tasting experience for a company event. All of the chocolate bars were so yummy and she explained each of them so well. Her business seems responsible to cacao growers and chocolate producers. What a great selection of chocolate bars and fantastic experience. Would definitely love to try a tasting again.

Anya hosted a very informative and delicious corporate event for us today. I learned a lot about craft chocolate and now I want to learn more! Also tasted some of the most amazingly flavorful chocolate Ive ever had! Very enjoyable, would highly recommend.

Anya hosted a chocolate and tea team builder for our team. The chocolate and tea pairings were exquisite and delicious! We were pre-shipped a generous goodie box of fine teas and the highest quality chocolates Ive ever experienced. Under Anyas direction, we prepared teas and paired them with globally and ethically sourced fair trade sourced chocolates. Anyas knowledge share and kind facilitation made this an outstanding team building event. I highly recommend this for your next remote corporate event!

We did a virtual chocolate tasting, hosted by Anya, and it was so much fun! We had several delicious chocolates to sample, and all had a blast. Having the chocolate, tasting session, and shipping all included in the up-front cost was so convenient when trying to find a class that would fit our budget. 10/10 would recommend for someone looking for a great event for their team or even just a group of friends.

Recently participated in a virtual tasting with my colleagues and had a blast! The experience was wonderful and delicious. Great opportunity to try different brands of chocolate I would have other wise never discovered on my own. I have become obsessed with the pump street chocolate and have this event to thank for it! Highly recommend this event for all teams - especially for a virtual experience!

I LOVE chocolate and I LOVE Gourmet Boutique. I attended two chocolate tastings and Anya was fantastic: deeply knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. She even followed up my questions with some great recommendations for new chocolates Ill be trying soon!I highly recommend Gourmet Boutique for your next event!

The passion for good chocolate is evident here! Anya did an amazing job explaining notes and flavors with the varieties of samples, and shes such a delight! Leave the Hershey on the shelf, and get the good stuff from here!

Did their virtual chocolate tasting with work and loved it! Really interesting and informative presentation, and the chocolate was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Opinion is mine, not speaking for my employer)

I enjoyed a fantastic virtual event and amazing fancy chocolate. An explosion of new and silky combinations. The service is very good and shipping is fast and protected for your area weather. Houston to hot? no problem they protect with ice packs :)

My work put together a virtual tasting session led by Gourmet Boutique. This was such a fun group/family and work activity. Anya was so passionate about the chocolate and I learned so much!

We just did a corporate tasting event and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone had a great time and we had so many good laughs! We did it on Microsoft Teams and the excitement for the event started two days before! The company is very easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the products they ship! I highly recommend and we are already thinking about doing another event with them!

I participated in a virtual tasting through my university, and it was a lot of fun! I really loved finding out about the different chocolate companies, as well as the different types of chocolate. I hadnt ever had chocolate with sourdough in it before, but I think that its a new favorite. All four of the chocolate bars were delicious, and it included white chocolate, which Ive never liked before trying this bar. Anya was a very fun host, and very knowledgeable about all of the chocolate that we tasted.

We did a virtual tasting event at my university and I loved it so much! All of the chocolate was so diverse and tasted amazing. Anya was a great resource and awesome at explaining everything. She had great answers to every question and made me excited to try all the chocolates. I definitely want to purchase these chocolates now.

Recently did a virtual chocolate tasting with Anya and it was amazing!! This was so fun and equally delicious. Who knew I wanted to get into craft chocolate?! Great even for teams or friends. Cant wait to come to the shop!!

My residential college organized a virtual tasting experience as part of our initiative to create virtual community events for our residents. Anya was absolutely amazing as our host for the event. I found the entire experience very relaxing amidst midterm season. With the pandemic in place and many people working remotely, I thought it was a great opportunity to feel more connected to our community. Additionally, It was a much needed break. We chose to do the tasting with Chocolates and Teas. The tasting experience was very educational and the selection of the chocolates and teas was diverse. Overall, I think it was a great experience and I think others students enjoyed it. I would defeinitely recommend Gourmet Boutique!

We just spent a fantastic hour with Anya learning about and tasting fabulous chocolates from around the world! We have not had a chance to visit the shop but it is on our to do list for our next visit to Boston. In the meantime well be getting our chocolate fix courtesy of their website!

Virtual chocolate tasting was so informative, unique, and fun! Learned a lot about fair trade chocolate, boutique chocolate makers, quality chocolate ingredients, and how pivotal chocolate is to our lives and our tastebuds. Anya was also great at providing what drinks to pair chocolates with!

Our company sponsored a virtual chocolate tasting event with Gourmet Boutique as a team building exercise and it was so fun!I was shocked to receive a curated selection of 5 full size gourmet bars of chocolate from various corners of the world about a week ahead of the tasting.The actual tasting session was so informative and I learned a lot about how chocolate is grown, harvested, and made. Also, learning how to discern between quality chocolate and Halloween Candy by reading the label was a highlight for me.I would absolutely recommend signing up for a tasting, it will absolutely expand your chocolate horizons!

We did a virtual tasting with our company as a team building experience and it was really interesting! Anya was a fun and engaging host who had little stories and vast knowledge of all things chocolate. It wasnt something that I was interested in initially, but she was so informative that Ive changed my mind. I would 100% recommend this experience to all.

Gourmet Boutique recently hosted a super successful virtual tasting event for my corporate team! Everyone had a phenomenal time - the chocolate was delicious, Adam (educator) was extremely fun and knowledgable, and the planning was super low-stress for me as an organizer :) Additionally, Anya was highly responsive and supportive through the planning process and was able to turn around the event in ~1 week. Highly recommend!

We organized a virtual tasting as part of an employee appreciation event earlier this month. Anya was so great to work with as it related to setting up the event logistically and assuring the product arrived on time to all of our participants. In addition, Anya hosted our event and provided us all with a fun education on the chocolate we tasted as well as a really nice overview of chocolate in general. I would highly recommend Gourmet Boutique and we look forward to scheduling another tasting event in the future too!!!!

I participated in a virtual chocolate tasting that Anya lead, and let me tell you it was SO much fun! I learned a lot about the industry and how there are a lot of parallels with cocoa and coffee tasting/ethics as well. Really interesting and I will be getting more into it thanks to her! Looking forward to visiting the physical location once I am vaccinated as well. Some of the chocolate selections she chose for us were the best I have ever had!

We had a wonderful team building event with Anya from Gourmet Boutique. She is extremely knowledge and passionate about chocolate, which shines through in her guided tasting experience. We did the Craft Makers collection and tasted an eclectic variety of chocolate made by local artisans from around the world. I would highly recommend for any team building event!

We did a tasting at my university and I learned so many new facts about chocolate! Anya was super knowledgeable and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the types of chocolate we tried. I also really appreciate that Anya taught us tips for how to find better quality chocolate when shopping.

My company hosted a virtual chocolate tasting event with Gourmet Boutique and it was great! Anya was super knowledgeable and was able to answer all my teams questions about chocolate and the history of chocolate. Excited to be able to browse the store again once things open up!

My company hosted a virtual chocolate tasting event with Gourmet Boutique, and it was fantastic! My only complaint is that I wish it went longer! Anya was incredibly fun and knowledgable, and my team had a great time. I love Gourmet Boutiques dedication to sourcing ethical and sustainable chocolate, and I cant wait to visit them in person!

We just had a wonderful (work related) chocolate tasting over a web session. We got to participate by tasting chocolate and get a mini-education on chocolate/chocolate making/ethically sourcing chocolate and more. Fun, fun event! I highly recommend this!

We did this virtual tasting with our company as a team bonding exercise and it was GREAT! Anya was a great host and made it an awesome experience. The chocolate was the best chocolate youve probably ever had as well. Would recommend to any group for a fun time.

The Gourmet Boutique virtual chocolate tasting was fantastic! Anya was extremely knowledgeable and selected tasty, diverse, and interesting chocolates for the tasting. We did the Unusual Flavor Combinations Virtual Chocolate Tasting as a corporate event for a team of about 20 professionals ranging from their 20s to 50s, and we were engaged the entire time and learned so much thanks to Anyas deep passion and high energy. We loved the variety of the chocolate bars and how they are ethically sourced. Anya was also very well organized and responsive to any requests we had before and during the tasting (such as pairings, recommendations, questions, etc.). I would highly recommend a virtual chocolate tasting with Gourmet Boutique!

My company had a tasting with Anya and it was phenomenal. The breadth and depth of her knowledge was so awesome to listen to. HIGHLY recommend for anyone wanting to learn something new and taste something awesome at the same time!

Anya ran a chocolate tasting for our company and did an amazing job. I was floored by her knowledge of the chocolate space. I learned a lot about my palate and taste buds along the way. I will absolutely be recommending her tasting events to my family and friends.

Anya rules! She held a chocolate tasting event for our company and she was great. Knew her stuff, super engaging, and the chocolate was 👌. Would recommend.

I really enjoyed how passionate Anya and her team at gourmet boutique are about chocolate. My team and I had a virtual tasting event and got to learn more than I ever knew about everything that goes into the chocolate making experience!

My team thoroughly enjoyed our Virtual Chocolate Tasting hosted by Anya. Her passion for chocolate and the tasting experience was evident and made the entire event more enjoyable for all involved. Anya carefully curated a selection of 3 chocolates that were satisfying to all palettes and provided a variety of flavors. We especially loved the Sourdough + Seasalt chocolate by Pump Street!

Our company sponsored a virtual chocolate tasting event with Gourmet Boutique.I was surprised to receive 5 full size gourmet bars, more than enough to share in fact I tried to give my own demo later that day to my wife.The actual tasting session was a great time and highly informative.I recommend signing up for a tasting or at the very least trying to create your own chocolate tour by purchasing some fo the many varieties of chocolate they sell.

Anya led a chocolate tasting for my team that was fantastic! The chocolate options were shipped well before the tasting ensuring that everyone was able to participate, with each option better than the last. Anya is so knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about what she does. Gives you an entirely new appreciation for the Chocolate world!

Who would not like trying chocolate!! Attended a chocolate tasting event and enjoyed it very much. Some of the chocolate was sweet and some were bitter. I also learned about chocolate making experience and how to be a chocolate expert.

Anya was amazing and lead a virtual tasting for our large corporate group. She managed logistics, ensured timely delivery, dealt through several bad snowstorms and did this all with grace. She did a terrific virtual session (not easy to do virtually with such a large corporate group). The team was incredibly happy and her passion for chocolate shines through. Thank you Anya for your talent!

My university put together a virtual chocolate tasting event and it was great! Anya is super knowledgable and it was a really fun time with lots of cool chocolate stories.

Fabulous team bonding experience! Anya (owner of Gourmet) and her team did a great job - from shipping the chocolates across the country on time - to leading the tasting itself virtually! Would highly recommend for a virtual group outing and to those who love chocolate!

The virtual chocolate tasting was fun, interactive, and informative! Anya is very knowledgeable and engaging - Next time Im in Boston, I am absolutely stopping by the shop! :)

Just had a virtual tasting and it was amazing! Its a whole new level of chocolate for me.

An amazing virtual chocolate tasting, that we used as a team building event. Host was great and the types chocolate were great, highly recommend this company for an enjoyable time,.

Great virtual chocolate tasting experience! Anya was very accommodating and knowledgeable! The hour flew by!

What a wonderful experience! Anya led a virtual tea and chocolate pairing event with a small group and knocked it out of the park. Yes - virtual! Even though we could not be in person, Anya is so passionate, fun, interesting and knowledgeable, she captivated everyone! You will want to experience your this for yourself!!

Such a unique experience and loved the variety of interesting flavors. I especially enjoyed the background of chocolate making, the anatomy of the cocoa plant, and how to take what we learned to our friends and family. Anya was a great host and I look forward to doing this again!

Anya is definitely a chocolate connoisseur! I learned so much in the 30 minutes we spent with in her in a virtual tasting. She curated chocolates that surprised and delighted our team and I can’t wait to immerse myself in the world of chocolate. Thanks, Gourmet Boutique!!!

Amazing knowledge and passion for chocolate. Anya really taught us a lot!

I can easily say this was one of the best virtual events our company has done and we owe that all to Anya Zelfond/Gourmet Boutique. She was TERRIFIC. I coordinated with her leading up to the event-- she was so well organized, responsive, and she asked questions and then listened to what was important to us about our event. In the actual tasting, she had a great energy about her and demonstrated her extensive knowledge of all things chocolate. Our employees had fun but also learned a LOT during our tasting. Weve had nothing but positive feedback since. Highly, highly recommend them for a virtual event.

Did a virtual chocolate tasting, loved it! Great chocolate, learned so much, super fun experience! I will definitely buy from Gourmet Boutique again

Anya hosted a virtual chocolate tasting for us at Google was incredible throughout the entire process. Not only did she fit us in last minute before the holidays but she picked some incredible tea and chocolate options for us which all of us LOVED! GBI has an amazing selection and I would highly recommend them for your virtual tasting needs!

Tastes good, fast delivery and the price was good.

Great experience!! Ordered Neuhaus milk & dark chocolates. The price at Gourmet Boutique was better than Neuhaus website directly. I just ordered the 2 big boxes 1.5 days ago and they were delivered already. Amazing. Love this store, will be coming back soon.

Just had an amazing virtual chocolate tasting with Anya Zelfond through Microsoft, and it was delicious and fabulous!

Anya Zelfond was FANTASTIC! My office and I did a tasting with her this afternoon and it was great! Learned so much! Fell in love with chocolate all over again — thank you Anya!

Anya did great in the virtual tasting. She was very knowledgable and passionate about the different types of chocolate.

Such a great team building experience. Our host Anja was an absolute master and I learned more about chocolate than I thought possible. Thank you.

Anya is so knowledgeable, and fun! We had a great time learning about chocolate and tea, and the tasting was as unique as it was delicious!thank you!

I was sad to see that due to covid the store front had shut down temporarily. Upon visiting their online store I was overwhelmed with the amazing selections this store has to offer! Great product is one thing, but incredible customer service is something much harder to come by. The owner, Anya is a ray of sunshine. When I had questions about product availability and delivery she was quick to respond (by personal text, I might add). She is so detail oriented and lovely to work with. When we realized delivery of my product might be delayed due to holiday traffic/covid, her husband PERSONALLY delivered the order to my door .... on NYE. I’m amazed by this woman and the dedication she has to her business. I am a devote customer, that is for sure. The caviar was incredibly delicious. I’m so happy with my experience!!!

Before the COVID-19 pandemic: I used to go to this store to buy chocolate that you could only find in specialty stores. Anya, the owner, carries a great variety of chocolate and other gourmet foods.After the pandemic: I attended one of her scheduled virtual chocolate tastings. My husband and I enjoyed it so much, we decided to email her and schedule a private virtual chocolate tasting with friends from Boston Medical Center to thank them for their work on the front lines. We all enjoyed the chocolate selection and historic background on chocolate.Anya has introduced me to chocolates I would have never tried on my own. She has also educated me about purchasing responsibly sourced chocolate and to discover other interesting chocolate shops.If you ever have a special request for a product or experience, don’t hesitate to contact Anya. She is passionate about what she does and she cares about her customers.

What an adorable shop. Lots of delicious chocolates and macaroons. I especially love the lavender macaroon. Top shelf service, too. Can’t miss this place next time you’re in Copley!

Great things come in small packages. Even though this store is very small, the variety the offer is plenty for every taste. The staff is also very helpul and friendly to patiently direct to the chocolate that is right for ones palate.

The BEST macaroons you can find in the Western Hemisphere. Lots of high-end treats, prices are great, and so is the owner who I bumped into at the store.

I absolutely love this shop! The selection of chocolate is truly incredible and they stock chocolates I had only previously seen in Europe. The customer service is excellent as well. Highly recommend!

I LOVE this place. Tasty chocolates, wonderful macaroons and above all STELLAR service. I stayed at the Westin Copley place and returned here every day of my stay for the chocolate.

Great place to buy some wonderful gifts. Lots of interesting food items and other gifts to choose from! The owner and staff are super friendly as well. Highly recommend stopping there and picking up some delicious chocolates, macaroons or chai tea kit!

I used to come here all the time. Cant wait to go back now that its opened!

This is a beautiful little boutique, they use top quality, local products, I just cant say enough! Thank you Jillian and Shannon for the great job today on a Boston-themed basket!

Most amazing selection of chocolate by far. Every time I go there I find something new I fall in love with. On top of that the staff are absolute gems. Always telling my friends and family to go here for their chocolate cravings!! :)

LOOOVE the Gourmet Boutique! This store is a gem in the Back Bay. The store has the most amazing selection of chocolates and other treats! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If you are looking for a unique gift for the foodie or chocolate lover in your life, this store makes the most incredible gift baskets. 5 stars are not enough!

The chocolate from this little shop is fantastic. All the good imported stuff. I regularly pick up Kinder chocolates for my wife on my way back from work, she loves the Duplo especially. They have a lot of stuff thats hard to find, and I feel like I learn a little something about chocolate from the staff whenever Im in.

Fantastic store with such a wide variety of chocolates and tea. They always have something new to try. Friendly staff, great experience.

I loved my experience at Gourmet Boutique. I came here during a chocolate tasting event, and got to try three different kinds of chocolate (milk, dark, and white). Theyre all European brands I havent had before, but I really liked the dark chocolate (gin and tonic) from Cacao Sampaka. I was also excited to find tons of Kinder and Milka here--all the goodol memories from my childhood. Came in with an empty stomach and left with a bagful of goodies. I will definitely come back again!

It was such a pleasant surprise visiting that beautiful little boutique. The place is tiny, but the selection and variety is huge. We bought some fantastic tea, delicious chocolate, gourmet pasta.The owner is a charming young Lady. She greeted us warmly and shared some of the hidden secrets of quality chocolates. Highly recommended if you needt to treat family and friends with something exquisite or just want to experience some taste of la dolce vita

Sent a Boston Gift Basket to a client for a corporate gift. Received nothing but compliments - best corporate gift I have seen! . Thanks GB staff for the great work with the order.

Awesome little shop, great chocolate and super friendly staff, thanks Kim!

This boutique is such a hidden treasure. It may look small from the outside, but inside it is filled with a variety of gourmet chocolates, foods, and little treats that you wont find anywhere else! Bars and truffles from all over the world extend from floor to ceiling, and even the little snack selection right in front has some of the best chocolates Ive ever tasted! I stop in whenever im in the area to grab a few Hanuta squares for myself and macarons or tea for my mom, or to grab something special whenever a friends birthday is coming up. And not only are the products amazing, but the owners are some of the sweetest and most knowledgeable people around. It has such a cozy atmosphere that youll find yourself wandering around easily for at least half an hour! Definitely a must-visit if in the area.

EPIC (no, really!) selection of delicacies, chocolate, foia gras, etc. Well, it all comes at a price... (thus 4 stars only)

Large selection of imported chocolates! Milka, Lindt, Kinder, Mozartkugeln etc

They almost have all the fabulous chocolate, from Ademei to Valrhona and others, and price is reasonable.

Small, no good products, no refrigeration.
