Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland

Teuscher is known for their Champagne Truffles… and rightfully so. They are life-​changing. The 2 or 4-​piece box of Champagne Truffles make the perfect gift. Whatever you do, don’t buy the individual chocolates… they are sold by the pound and the price adds up quickly. I have never in my life spent to much money on chocolates! Thank goodness they were well worth it :)

Keep stopping in here from time to time and finding delightful seasonal options.
Last month they had a good luck june bug (which is a Swiss tradition), and it seems like something for every season.
I keep loving the champagne truffles and recently tried to pink pepperpod bar, which was great.

James Bond would buy chocolate here (if he needed yet another habit that wasn’t too good for his health).
Classy and expensive place, that Boston Teuscher store. But the chocolate is more than worth it. Words fail the champagne truffles. For the best bar, I suggest the praline.
Also, the darker chocolate bars (the 66% and up) are vegan-​friendly — if that’s the kind of thing you care about.
You can also order online from the Boston store. Kind of a clunky e-​commerce experience, but the chocolates arrive quickly and intact.

The chocolate here is unmatched. It is shipped weekly from Switzerland where they make it with no preservatives, no additives and their own milk from their own cows. The staff are kind and welcoming, Stefan is always there with his Swiss spirit.
There is no better place to go for good quality chocolate! It is worth every penny.
Pro tip: If you’re not sure what to get, go for the champagne truffle. It’s their signature item and it’s wonderful.

I haven’t had the pleasure of trying much of their selection yet, however, the Champagne Truffle is so decadent! 4 pieces cost $ 14.50 and if you want it gift wrapped in one of the gorgeous boxes with a flower on top it’ll cost about $ 25. The owner is pleasant and the shop is quaint. Definitely a hidden gem.

Extremely friendly staff. I’d definitely go here for gifts to friends. They have chocolates cutely shaped like animals (both solid chocolate or chocolate with real honey bits, almonds, and such). They have very detailed and colorful gift boxes that can come with a floral piece on top (nicely crafted). I got a few pieces for a friend and the chocolate raspberry truffle for myself. Tasted AWESOME.

Rave review here! I asked the very nice gentleman who was working at the shop for advice about their softest kinds of chocolate and they were completely mouth watering and scrumptious! I chose three different kinds and all were superb in their own way. They are without a doubt THE most delicious chocolates I’ve ever had in all of Boston!!! The recipes were made up by geniuses, thank you thank you thank you!
I know if you had a second shop in my neighborhood I’d be totally addicted to it. Please do add a second shop in Porter Square Cambridge. I’ll be there in two seconds!

The chocolate here is really 2 stars, but they get an extra star for the great service.
Teuscher is my favorite chocolate in the whole world! Anytime I’m near a store I go and buy at least a pound. I usually go to the Rockefeller Center location to get my fill, but I’ve been to the Madison Ave, Chicago, and Zurich stores too. It’s a horrible expensive habit, but I can’t help it. Some people love belgian chocolate, some people love french… me? I love swiss chocolate!
This is the only time I’ve ever had anything from Teuscher that didn’t taste good. All the dipped apricots we bought were gross. They were hard as a rock and tasted like they had gone bad. The apricots are usually my favorite. We also had a few caramelized hazelnut pieces that tasted stale. Since Teuscher is creeping up to $ 100 bucks a pound, it’s definitely not okay to have just purchased 9 pieces of chocolate that tasted old and stale. I would have gone back and complained but we had left town.
I’ve literally been to Teuscher like a hundred times in the last decade and this is the first time I’ve received something that didn’t taste amazing.

I would agree with everyone else that the place IS pricey, no question. The chocolates are delicious, made form finest ingredients and are imported from Switzerland, one of the most expensive places on earth — so I think one cannot blame the shop for the prices being high. But that said, the quality and freshness IS sky-​high, and the money is well spent if you savour every single chocolate…

Champagne truffles were beautiful. Loved the description of them being like the snow-​capped Alps and the story of the little boy with the champagne. The store was as much a piece of artwork as the chocolates themselves. Also, the chocolate boxes were beautiful.
Much too expensive for me, except for a sporadic treat.

This place brings in their chocolates from switzerland weekly and they are great

Heaven! I came here the Friday before Christmas to get a 9-​piece box of truffles for my boyfriend’s mother. She absolutely loves dark chocolate so I automatically got the dark chocolate champagne truffle and the dark chocolate truffle for her. There were so many other delectables in the case that I probably spent an obnoxious five minutes drooling over the case before making my final decisions. I remember getting the Jasmine truffle, the nut bar, the grand marnier truffle, and oh who knows. The woman who helped me was so nice and so patient. When I mentioned to her that this was a gift, she voluntarily asked if I would like a bow on it, which I happily said yes. This is a great place to purchase a refined gift for the ultimate chocolate lover.

A nice little boutique shop selling Swiss chocolates. Based on the ones I tried at a Chicago branch, the truffles are pretty delicious though pricy. For those looking for dark chocolate, the 77% cacao bars are solid and offer a soft, well-​balanced sweetness. Wouldn’t recommend the 99% cacao bars though — not at all bitter, but terribly bland.

QUALITY: Fine Swiss chocolate…
meant to be savored before it is swallowed.
PRICE: $ 2.50 per small truffle,
which is on par for their Newbury Street location.
TIP: The richer the dessert, the less you need to eat of it.
With this in mind, 1 TRUFFLE can satisfy your craving,
without widening your waist. Can you have just one? *smile*
Make the trip for special occasion gifts!

The Champagne Truffle is in fact the best piece of chocolate I have ever had.
You hear people talk about food being heavenly, well, this piece of chocolate gets you closer to the divine than anything else!
**Super expensive, totally worth it if you’re a choco maniac. (One pound of the champagne truffles runs you about 85 dollars!)
**ADORABLE boxes that look like dolls/​animals for their chocolates

Really expensive truffles but after trying them (especially the champagne truffles) you find out how much they are worth it! 9 truffles for $ 26. These will send you to another world… think of a world of truffles and chocolate fountains and clouds of cocoa delight. Just dying for another taste.

200^th Review, so I have to make this one special.
A few years ago, I was out one night with someone I know, and she told me that one of her perfect evenings would include some fresh mango juice and a few chocolate truffles made by Teuscher. She poured me the mango juice, and opened a box filled with various Teuscher chocolate truffles. It was that night was how I heard about this chocolate place, and I never had chocolate this good before that night. It made the mango juice almost forgettable.
I came to this place a couple of times while walking around Newbury Street and decided to get a few truffles on a whim. I got a White Chocolate Truffle, a Champagne Truffle, a Bailey’s Irish Cream, and the Milk Buttercrunch Truffle. The truffles are about 3 cm in diameter, and 2 cm high. The White Chocolate Truffle was really good, but it was just plain white chocolate. The Champagne Truffle had a unique sweet flavor and creaminess that is a little hard to describe, but it’s a great truffle worth splurging. As for the Bailey’s Irish Cream, it was great, loved the rich cream combined with the sweetness of the milk chocolate. Finally, the Milk Buttercrunch Truffle. This was the truffle that I had during that night a few years ago. I took a bite, and it was amazingly good. Loved the crispiness of the toffee inside, along with the sweet chocolate flavor, and brought back some good memories of the time. The crispiness along with the sweetness gave my tongue a nice joy inside. I’m talking about the kind of joy that you probably would get as if you are driving a 2011 black BMW 550i at a high speed in the city streets at night after escaping from a really boring formal dinner party and you have a gorgeous girl sitting next to you on the passenger seat, laughing, really enjoying the ride and wanting to hang out with you for the rest of the night, along with your close friend and another gorgeous girl sitting on the passenger back seat, laughing, and enjoying the ride.
Anyway, if it was not so expensive ($ 2.50 for a truffle, but costs less when you buy more pieces), I probably would have gone to this place often. Overall, I believe that this is probably one of the best places to get some Swiss chocolate in Boston, and sweetness and creaminess has brought some pretty good joy.

This store offers an excellent selection of chocolates. It’s quite pricey but you’re paying for quality here.
The salespeople here are great, chatty but not obnoxious. Down to earth and just friendly.

At first glance, this place was a bit intimidating, one of the stores underground on Newbury, heavily (perhaps overly) decorated and looked very high-​end.
Upon entering, we saw the inside was just like any other cute lil Chocolatier. Unfortunately, the employees were not. The flamboyant gentleman that helped us was condescending and downright rude. Any questions I had about the truffles were basically met with rolled eyes, a sigh and a short answer. He made us feel like we did not belong and, frankly, could not afford the chocolates. Had it not been for him, Teuscher would have been rated 5 Stars.
Now onto the good stuff. From the sampling we tried, it leads us to believe EVERYTHING in this store is Absolutely HEAVENLY! Each truffle melted in our mouth, leaving us wanting more. If not so expensive, I would eat everything in the store. But even at these outlandish prices, I would definitely continue coming back– despite the terrible experience we’ve had in-​store.
Ooh Ooh!
And the Champagne Truffles, they are so good that a guaranteed sigh of pleasure will escape your lips as you eat one.

While this tiny little shop on Newbury street looks like it was the victim of an arts and crafts party gone bad and their website looks like it was designed by a 3 year old, the chocolates here are phenomenal. And they better be at $ 75 a pound.
That said, their champagne truffles are absolutely to die for. If you are a true chocolate lover, you’ll do yourself a favor and get yourself down to Newbury Street and try one. But save your pennies — or one might be all that you can afford!
