There is no better way to see the city of Beverly Hills than a walking tour, especially when it consists of some of the finest chocolate, pastries and ice cream in the world. If you have a major sweet tooth, this tour is for you! Enjoy a sampling of our most delectable sweets at some of the most renowned establishments.
Edelweiss Chocolates
A must see for I Love Lucy fans and chocolate lovers alike, its fame began with the famous episode where Lucy and Ethel are left to commandeer a conveyor belt at a chocolate factory that spirals out of control. Still to this day, that conveyor belt runs in the back of the shop churning out chocolate covered nuts and chews, pretzels, dried and fresh fruits and even sugar-free morsels.
Le Mervetty
Le Mervetty makes its debut as the newest sweet shop on the block and also arguably offers the most unique treat, a Parisian meringue cake called merveilleux. Light and fluffy in the middle and covered by whipped cream, these sweets are gracefully hand-crafted by staff wearing tutus and are offered in various sizes ranging from bite-size to full cakes. Some of the most popular flavors are chocolate, nutella and praline. Enjoy your treat with an espresso macchiato as the shop serves hot drinks as well.
Bouchon Bakery
Bakeries in Paris are filled with the most extraordinary creations. Chef Thomas Keller has recreated the delight of the Paris bakery right in Beverly Hills with Bouchon Bakery. Located just below Bouchon Bistro near Beverly Canon Gardens, the shop offers classic Parisian delicacies including macarons, croissants, tarts, baguettes and even quiches. For a little something extra special, try the buttery pastry known as Kouign-amann served only at the Beverly Hills location.
‘Lette Macarons
With treats as beautiful as they are delicious, ‘Lette brings a fresh take on the traditional Parisian macaron. The vivid hues of their unique macarons reflect the natural flavors and essences that infuse the ganache filling of these delicious cookies. The macarons are offered in a wide variety of flavors, each with its own personality and all gluten-free. Choose from the classics like Earl Grey tea, passion fruit and Madagascar vanilla to seasonal specialties.
Vosges Haut-Chocolat
Vosges Haut-Chocolat has a unique concept: Travel the World through Chocolate™. While founder Katrina Markoff traveled the world, she was inspired to create chocolate fusions of indigenous spices, flowers, roots and herbs like curry, smoked berries and candied violets. One of their bestsellers is Mo’s Chocolate Bacon bar with – yes, you guessed it – real bacon! Find your favorite style while tasting the abundant samples, from sweet to spicy!
Beverly Hills Brownie Company
Brownie fans will experience love at first bite upon walking into Beverly Hills Brownie Company which features 26 variations of this classic dessert. Each brownie is uniquely made to create edges on all sides and a soft melt-in-your-mouth middle. The celebrated Red Velvet brownie took over 240 different attempts to perfect – and trust us, it’s one you won’t want to miss!
The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills
The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills has long been a mecca for cheese aficionados and regularly provides professional chefs at some of Los Angeles’ most prestigious restaurants with the finest quality cheeses.

If you are unable to attend one of their monthly tasting events, simply walk in for your own cheese tutorial. Give your taste buds a break from the sweets and enjoy this unique treat!
Sugarfina
Sugarfina, a candy shop for adults, was started in a slightly whimsical way when founders, and now fiancés, Rosie and Josh, went to see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on their third date. The candies are personally curated from all over the world, including Champagne gummy bears and Peach Bellini bites. These treats are then paired with their signature turquoise blue packaging and makes the perfect gift for someone back home. Looking to create a custom treat for a wedding, shower or special event? Their Candy Concierges are on hand to create personalized products just for you.

Outside, Sprinkles’ unique Cupcake ATM dispenses its most popular flavors 24 hours a day.
