New to the Neighborhood – Petrova Chocolates

Calling all sweet tooths!
East Boston just got a little sweeter! Petrova Chocolates – is now open at 277 Border Street! This new chocolate boutique was established back in 2020 as an online shop, but this will be its first brick-and-mortar location right here in Eastie.
According to Petrova’s website, their chocolates are entirely handmade in small batches. The entire process to produce a batch of bonbons takes three days. Each mold is carefully polished and then painted with colored cocoa butter. They look almost too pretty to eat…ALMOST!
