The Chocolate Buffet at the Langham Hotel has been an annual treat for 5 years and there are a few things that are consistent, there is a dj, santa and an increase in price. There was much debate on how to prepare for the chocolate buffet either to expand our bellies or refrain from eating to prepare for the sugar high. This year’s theme was categorization from % of cocoa content and graded by dark, semi sweet, milk to white chocolate.
I prepared by taking a stroll to the hotel via the Boston Garden.

The Langham always provides quality service. There is a complimentary coat check for the buffet upon entrance. Additionally, the service is impeccable and fluid. Servers always check in on needs and constantly refill on beverages.
During the holiday time, the Chocolate Buffet is Saturday afternoons from 11am until 3pm, for $45 per adult. It is adorable how many husbands or boyfriends treat their girlfriends to the buffet. There are also a lot of mother daughter brunches and families getting together. There was the option to also have chocolate bar cocktails. A few of my girlfriends went for the sparkling wine and mimosas.
The DJ also took requests on the back of the round paper CD, which included the always favorite for the teenie boppers, BackStreet Boys and Britney Spears. I always tap my feet to and inaudibly sing Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You.
The coffee was consistently refilled throughout the brunch.
