Amazing recreated Austrian park and home! Loved the umpteenth century church and the park grounds but the piec dresistance is the CHOCOLATE! Best Ive ever tasted and theyve won many awards. The servers are in authentic Austrian dress and it adds to the atmosphere. Ive lived in Europe and visited Austria many times and it was as good as!! Highly recommended taking the children to see how chocolates are made.

What a charming place!This was one of our stops on our tour with Customized Tours, and we had such a nice time here. The shop and surrounding grounds are so beautiful, it almost makes you feel like youre in a small European town.Their chocolates are such treats! We were visiting from out of town, so we ended up buying some souvenirs for home. Their chocolate truffles were so delightful, and were perfectly smooth and had just the perfect amount of sweetness.Would return!

Havent been here since I was a child. Was so excited to come visit and get my favorite 🍬🍭 candies I never forgot. I was saddened that the candy I came from Texas to get was no longer available. I loved the themed outfits but was unable to get a photo bc the manager sent her on break. We felt a little rushed after our sales lady left. But, the candy is exceptional...all $300 worth! Mom swept the shelf of all the pecan rolls. Dont worry, they have more.

Such a fun experience for the family. It was a lot of fun letting the kids get to do their own thing and be in control of their chocolate making experience. The tour was good as well and was very interesting to walk through and see Julius Boehms home.

Super tasty candy. Honestly would never have known about the place if it were for my kids fascination with Blippi- who did an episode featuring Boehms. It is a tad expensive, but hey- its novelty and fancy chocolates.

I would give Boehms Candies 6 stars, if I could. They still produce confections in the old Bavarian way. You are nearly overwhelmed by the sculptures and the garden or the window tour and you havent even entered the building!The chocolates and other confections are amazing in their presentation and the knowledge of the staff, dressed in the kind of clothes originally worn by confectioners. Regular or sugar free, soft and gooey or made to withstand hot summer weather. They even offer ice packs to get them home intact. Just go there!

Review №12

Definitely one of the cutest chocolate shops in the area. With a lot of variety in chocolate from different locations and hand made ones. I would suggest this stop, even the exterior facade of the building is something else. They have a very adorable garden outside.Oh. And their chocolate is fantastic!

We loved it. The young lady tour guide did an amazing job. Very cool to see how they do their chocolates. It gets very busy with all the tourist. Still must stop by and try it out.

Bohems is an unexpected treasure! Its a candy manufacturer, but the grounds are set up like a Swiss chalet. Hearing the story of the founder is fascinating. The tour is brief and kind of interesting. It gives you the basics of how Boehms makes candies. Informative, but nothing earth-shattering. There are samples though, which are worth taking the tour for! The candy shop is great, and the staff are friendly. Definitely worth a stop if youre in the area.

This is a must stop place if you are in the area! The staff is friendly and helpful, the chocolates are sweet and dear (unpretentious), the environment is lovely. Youll feel like youre on a mini-Euro holiday as you browse the salted caramel chocolates, the special-sourced dark chocolates and the fun candies and gifts. They even have 50 cent postcards here if you want to share your experience the old fashioned way. I love this shop!

The BEST chocolate / chocolatier place in the greater Seattle area. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the old Bavarian style property is fun to wander through. The store has just about anything a person could want when it comes to sweets, and they even make some killer ice cream!** fyi** some of the best stocking stuffers can be found here**

This is my wifes favorite naughty food store, because its all sugar laden. We were driving by anyway, so we stopped for her. Then I found the sugar free section... Would you believe sugar free turtles, peanut clusters, etc? I was amazed at how good they were! Highly recommend, and they have a website and will ship to you!

Any trip to Issaquah isnt complete without a side trip to Boehms. Covid protocols have canceled my go to Assorted Brokens, but no problem, those dark chocolate caramels were wonderful!

Review №25

We went there because of the blippi box if you cant guess, we have children lol. The shop was pretty small, but a great selection. We didnt know what half of it was. But everything we got we all thoroughly enjoyed. The outdoor garden is great to sit with your kids so they can eat and you can clean them up before getting in the car.

My childhood memories of Boehms Chocolates go back to 1967 (?)..I grew by Greenlake and boehms was 1 1/2 blocks away on 65th and Ravenna. Its not mention in its history..(I think this was the 1st store!). My mother would give us $2 and wed get a white bag of chocolates. Ive been to the Issaquah store over the years, the Greenlake store hold childhood memories and the start of liking exquisite Chocolates from around the World.

Review №33

Wonderfully themed to an alpine sweet shop, its best to go if you really like quality chocolate. A nice small private park and some areas where you can observe the chocolate-making process.If you dont like chocolate, youre probably here because youre with someone who is. There are non-chocolate items, but they are relatively few and mostly items that would be in chocolate (ex. Caramel).

Chocolate turtles that are so fresh the dark chocolate and caramel melt in my mouth and Im left with a crunchy pecan. Just the way turtles should be. Nicely done. Fun Austrian/Swiss decor.

Review №36

This place is such a gem of nostalgia. I dont know of anywhere in the USA that you can buy chocolates made in a Austrian, chalet replica.The chocolates are done in the European tradition. They even have 2, of the only 200, people who hand dip chocolate working for them.They offer some wonderfully unusual chocolates, such as balsamic vinegar truffles and hibiscus infused chocolate.You can also tour the former home of the founder as well as the facility or 5$ a person.So worth coming to Issaquah.

So many chocolates to choose from. The marzipan is my absolute favorite! We took the tour and it was quite delightful. The grounds are beautiful and landscaped. You can sit by a fountain in the shade and enjoy your chocolate in the garden. Water fountains spread out so you dont get to parched after enjoying your goodies. :-)

OMG, this place was on or tour and we were so fortunate to get the tour. Every see a 30# chocolate dolphin? We did. But the highlight was a few free sample chocolates. Just enough to make you want more from their awesome shop. I told the wife to just ask for two of each but she kept me in check but we still walked out with about 30 pieces of the most delicious dark chocolate we ever had. They do have the standard milk chocolate thats very tasty but why bother when you can get the dark. Were back in Texas now and only have a few of those best of the best chocolate covered raisins left. Do you ship to Texas? Please, please!

A must stop! Known all around the area for quality and selection of candies. Especially known for their chocolate, there is plenty to choose from in either dark or milk chocolate, and sizes range from individual sample size all the way up to one pounds chunks! Buy one kind or various sizes of sample packs. Cashew and Almond Clusters, Turtles, Salted Caramels, each in your choice of dark or milk chacolate..., just to name a few choices - Mmmm...mmm!

I really enjoyed visiting Boehms Candies! It is a Bavarian theme factory with tours available. Dont miss out on the cute side and back yard. In the back, they have a chappel, statues, a water fountain and the cutest building for a restroom. The side yard has a nice little garden area along with dog statues next to the retail store. The staff is friendly and helpful. Pricing is comparable to other Chocolate factories and their sweets are amazing! They have boxes of chocolate like what Macys has for their frangos BUT I think Boehms chocolates are better than the frangos!!!
