“If you like excellent chocolate, you have to stop in! No only do they let you try, but they have the best and unique flavors!
I also received a wonderful dinner recommendation as I am visiting from Texas.
These are going to be the perfect gift for my wife.”
“Have been going here since they opened and have absolutely loved it! They do an amazing job of mixing up the selections and are always on theme for the month or holiday season. The little stuffed fish decorations that Madeleine makes, SO CUTE!! I have a major sweet tooth so I love to put out a bowl of cute little candies whenever we have people over 💕”

“I don’t currently have any pictures to show but I LOVE this place! I got my hands on some really good spreads from here, like a Chocolate Hazelnut spread (with Hazelnut as the first ingredient !!!) and a Matcha Milk Jam — they go so well with crepes. I’m coming back here tomorrow since I finished both jars and I can’t find them anywhere else”
“THE BEST! Every year I come in to buy nuts for Father's Day, and my dad always says that Fastachi has the best products. Everyone who works there is so nice and helpful. Thank you guys!!”

“Wonderful experience! The gentleman who helped me was very polite and got me everything that I needed.
I came at around 5:30pm on September 24th 2026. Sorry I missed the persons name!”
“Excellent selection and great staff! Our first time here and we were thrilled with the variety of wines from different countries. The French and Italian wines are great, and we really enjoyed taking to the staff about wine. Rob was awesome! Thank you!”
“Pic and Mix is an absolute gem! The mother-daughter team behind Boston's newest candy store has created something truly special. Not only is the candy selection outstanding, with high-quality sweets from around the world, but the store itself is beautifully designed and impeccably organized.
Located just steps from the iconic CITGO sign in Kenmore Square, it's impossible to leave without finding something you'll love. The colorful candy is displayed in neat bins, making it fun to browse, and the staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful.
If you're looking to treat yourself to something sweet, sour or chocolate, or need a gift, this is the place to go. Excellent service, an amazing selection, and a welcoming light-filled space will keep you coming back for more. Highly recommended!”
“Hospitality is of course a practice. Something that is earned through hard work and care for the customer. Less of passing interaction and more like a meaningful connection especially when chocolate is involved. Just want to say super super thank you to Chy'Ane for bringing the sparkle of hospitality and friendship to our visit.....and then even more hospitality on my return visit solo. Chy'Ane you rock! Wish you all the best.”
“I wanted to send McCrea's Advent calendar filled with candies to my daughter. It was recommended in the New York Times in October, and I was afraid they might run out, but it was way too early to send the calendar. I contacted the company, and a wonderful, kind sales rep replied promptly and said I could pay for it then, and she would hold the calendar until right before Advent started. She was true to her word, and my daughter loves the candies!
Then I noticed that my credit card showed a higher amount than the invoice I had received. I contacted the woman again, and she passed me on to the shipping manager. She also replied quickly and said it was a shipping charge, but she refunded it. She said that the company had changed the threshold at some point in the season to offer free shipping for Advents. HadI ordered later in the season there would have been no shipping charge, and she thought I shouldn’t be punished for ordering early!
Delicious candy and excellent customer service!!”
“If you are looking for any type of nut or candy, here you are to find what you're looking for. It's not the same as when it was on West Broadway in South Boston with the display cases and penny candy display. All the selections are there. I was looking for Brazil nuts. the salesman went in the back and the employee fired up the oven and roasted the nut right then and there. While waiting, I selected some Plantain chips, dark chocolate chips, pistachios, and a half pound of non-perells. A great place to go when you're looking for the right ingredients.”
“The rating is PURELY for the Employees!!!
Proceed with Extreme Caution!! Set your tandems forward for tighter front end maneuvers but watch that swing.
If possible take Route 2A/Massachusetts Ave South then Turn Left onto State St. to stage.
(I was routed North on 2A so I made the Right turn onto State, it’s tight, swing wide and watch the U-Haul trucks parked on left of street. State is one way so use it all) ‘supposed’ to park on left but there was no room. I squeezed on the right and hopped out, because at end of building on the wall is a blue light (see pictures it’s circled) where there is a door and call box. Let them know you are here, a guy will tell you what to do. Basically you stay there until someone tells you to go up to Main st where 2 docks are. You will proceed up State and take a Left onto Windsor, you MUST use that corner lot can’t make the turn any other way. Watch for traffic, parked cars on right of Windsor infront of you and the last electric pole on the left, your trailer will come close. Then make Left onto Main. They guys will help direct you like in pictures, they will open your doors and stop traffic at your rear. You have to watch cyclists (lots) walkers, and idiot people who WILL try to go around you. Once you’re in the door slide tandems back. They will do the rest.”
“Was my niece's birthday. She absolutely loved it, especially her Blue Cloud drink! The food was great and so were the adult beverages! Our waiter Esteban was great!”
“Perfect place to get a gift. I paid $65 for a pound of truffles and a bouquet of chocolate roses, which is less than I expected to, and they wrapped them up nice with tissue paper and ribbons. Staff were very friendly”
