Prides Crossing Confections
- Since 1982 -
Our confectionary journey began in the beautiful oceanfront community of Beverly Farms in 1982 and found our home approximately 20 years ago just over the tracks in the Prides Crossing train station where we reside today.
In the late 19th century, luminaries of society…
built summer retreats in and around Prides Crossing. Presidents, authors, and wealthy scions rode the rails in town and escaped the withering heat of the city during the hottest months. These summer residents had a few things in common. Among them, a love of high quality, traditional goods; and a shared railway station for jumping on and off their private rail cars.
We are purposefully of the old school, inspiring nostalgia and delight while providing sumptuous sensory experiences for generations of local families and visitors. We make our confections on site, every day. Stop by, breathe in the aromas, experience the sights and sounds of real handmade confections.
Chris Flynn, the original owner and world-class chocolatier, created this confectionary gem in the heart of Beverly Farms/Prides Crossing. Knowing the history of the train depot, he wanted to reimagine those feelings of luxury and excellence in the handmade confections he created.
Although Chris is in retirement, his original recipes have been passed down and are used for the 100 plus confections we make daily. They include our creamy caramel, buttery toffee, popular turtles, peanut butter cups, creams and truffles all meticulously made by hand on the premises with all natural, local ingredients. Occasionally, we experiment with a new recipe idea that a customer or staff member recommends!
