The Taza tour was amazing! Jessie was very knowledgeable. He made the experience fun and engaging. I'm so happy I found an ethical chocolate brand to support that fits my dietary needs. If you're visiting the Boston area, don't miss out on this experience!

My friends and I had a great time doing the tour! We got to sample a bunch of delicious chocolates, and our guide (I wish I could remember their name) was engaging and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the experience!

We celebrated a family member's birthday for the first time in Boston, MA. We planned a surprise visit to the Taza Chocolate factory store after discovering it through a Google search. As we drove for about 20 minutes, the area began to look isolated, and he started to worry that we were playing a prank on him for his special day. We assured him that we were heading in the right direction.

Once we arrived at the Taza Chocolate store, we took him by the hand and entered. The moment he saw people tasting chocolate and caught the sweet aroma in the air, he transformed into a child in a Willy Wonka store. He couldn't stop sampling all the chocolate he desired—peppermint, orange, sea salt, plant-based milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. His favorites were endless, and after giving us those sad puppy eyes, I ended up purchasing a ton of chocolate. Thanks to him, we now have enough chocolate to last about a month, so there’s no shortage in our home!

The staff members were very understanding since it was my family member’s birthday, and they had a great conversation about all the different types of chocolate and flavors, many of which I hadn't known before. The chocolate is great for people who are lactose intolerant, as it contains oat milk, fruit flavor coloring, and plant-based ingredients. This makes it a wonderful option for chocolate lovers who have trouble with regular milk products; it is vegan chocolate, and I was impressed by the absence of regular milk chocolate.

Although we arrived too late to enjoy the chocolate tour, one of the staff members kindly gave us a quick walkthrough to show us how the chocolate is made and answered all our questions. We had a fantastic time, and he definitely enjoyed his birthday.

If you love chocolate as much as we do, this is a great place for you and your children to visit!

I did a chocolate tasting with Taza, and it was so much fun. I got a booklet listing all of the chocolates involved in the tasting with space for me to rate them. There was a great variety, ranging from sweet to bitter. I had a lot of chocolate leftover that lasted for months. They all tasted wonderful.

Great tour! Great chocolate! Totally worth the visit, though I wish the tour was free... $8 seems a little steep for some info you could read online and a few crumbled chocolate samples. The chocolate is a little expensive too, but very good.

This is THE place is you want good quality chocolate. Take a look at the people who rated this place bad, they're idiots who don't like quality really tastes like, and for some reason didn't listen to the tour. I had a very basic idea on how chocolate was made before I went in and these guys really helped nail everything down to solidify how they produce chocolate from the tree all the way to the wrapper, very intelligent and awesome practices that they employ in the chocolate production. If you want junk chocolate buy the Hershey's garbage sugar junk; Taza is by far the best most authentic real chocolate producer and should be recognized for not only their merits but high quality of delicious treats.

Great tour, worth the $8. The tour guide was very informative from start to finish. So many tastings given all throughout. My favs were the tastings at the very end. I walked out purchasing two vanilla discs. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys eating chocolate.
