Café & Confiserie 1842 - Mochaccino & giant hot chocolate

Very cute cafe in the middle of Zurich. It is a great place for coffee or breakfast. We went there…read moreon a Saturday morning and it got busy very quickly. The tables are small and it may not be easy to have all your food on one of them. We had eggs (over easy) and an omelet with Latte and hot chocolate. The food was great and came out at a good pace. It was a great experience.

Yelp Review 2026 #47:…read more Cafe & Conditorei 1842 is "Zürich's oldest cafe". This place is a conditorei (has a sit down area to enjoy pastries and sweet baked treats) and not a confiserie (take away truffles and candies). They claim to have the best hot chocolate and I would have to disagree. They do have good desserts to pair with their hot chocolate. The building its in has been around since 1824. The bakery opened in 1874 but the cafe didn't actually open until March 2019 so, the name is misleading. They have indoor seating and also patio seating in front or in the back. They have smoothies, milkshakes, matcha, cold brew options, sparkling wine options, ice cream, patisserie items, and brunch food. You have 6 options for their hot (or cold) non-alcoholic chocolate: classic, with marshmallows, with whipped cream, with chili flakes, with a shot of fresh ginger, with a shot of espresso; or 4 alcoholic hot (or cold) chocolate options: rum, amaretto, Bailey's or Grand Marnier. Passion Fruit Panna Cotta: Nice balance of bitter dark chocolate and tart Passionfruit. The panna cotta was creamy and soft. Dark chocolate holding everything together. I love Passionfruit and chocolate combo. 4.5/5 Chocolate Mousse: You can't go wrong with anything chocolate in Switzerland. This has white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate, and cocoa nibs at the bottom. Great creamy texture. Pillowy like marshmallow. 4/5 The Classic Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream: Underwhelming. I've had better hot chocolate somewhere else in Zürich. It's a step up from Swiss Miss. 2.5/5 The Classic Cold Chocolate with Whipped Cream: The same as what was mentioned above but the cold version which is lukewarm. 2.5/5 Service was good though.

A hidden gem that you have to look for, but once you've found it... they make the best macarons in…read moreZurich - enough said. Eric Baumann was making macarons before they were in, before Ladurée was in Zürich and Sprüngli released their new Deluxe Luxemburgerli. He's one of only three Swiss members of the elite confiseur guild "Relais Desserts" and macarons are simple a part of his repertoire. My favourite macaron is the chocolate macaron, made with a Grand Cru couverture from Felchlin (Trinitario fine flavour cocoa beans from Madagascar, 64%). But the vanilla macaron also really impressed me: Creamy, cool, soft vanilla butter cream - wonderful! The flavours are classic, but there also some seasonal variations. Macarons aren't his only noteworthy product. His assortment of patisserie is on the same level as Vollenweider and Honold. His bread is also very popular. All pralines are made with the finest Grand Cru couverture. The gianduja hearts, piped ganache coated in cocoa powder and sabayon pralines are particular favourites of mine! Just one slight criticism: Every now and then (especially towards the end of the day) the service isn't quite as knowledge or friendly as Mrs. Baumann or Mr. Berchtold. Otherwise their service and product knowledge is excellent. For more reviews and photo reports, please visit: http://www.dessertblog.ch

Definitely a hidden gem! I went through a bit of an internal debate whether to review and expose…read morethis secret or not. It's the best bakery in Zurich without the snooty cliental waiting in a long line. I was sent here by the 'Ass Bar' after a long conversation over sweets. Although most will tell you about the macarons -I do agree better than most but not quite my favorite- but the pastries are something to fight for. Best in town!

Yelp Review 2023 #22:…read more Läderach is one of my favorite chocolatiers in the whole world. I eat chocolate everyday, and I travel the world sampling chocolates. I've been to Belgium which some say has the best chocolate. I've been to France, Italy, UK, Germany, Finland, and Ecuador - they do have some good chocolate. But I will always want Swiss chocolate. There are three chocolatiers in Switzerland that I love. I like Läderach because they don't overcomplicate their combinations. And they give you free samples. You can buy boxes of chocolates, truffles by the bag, chocolate slabs by the gram. My favorites are the chocolate with whole hazelnut slabs, and chocolate cornflake slabs. They have a nice selection of chocolate + hazelnut so I get a box of those in different varieties. This particular location is at the Central Station which is convenient. There is another Läderach outside Central Station. Whichever location you go to, you can expect the same great experience and some of the finest chocolates that will ever touch your mouth.

Yes, chocolate in Switzerland. There are so many options, and many of them are very good,…read moreespecially if you like milk chocolate. This place has some excellent dark and white chocolate in addition to the traditional milk. You can get a huge variety of truffles, or they have slabs of chocolate with various inclusions like candied oranges, blackberry, roasted hazelnuts or almonds, or even some more exotic varieties with things like pink peppercorns or pistachios. The people at Läderach pride themselves on FRESHNESS, so I wouldn't recommend overbuying. Not that it was much of a problem for us: the first bag was gone within a day, so we had to plan a return trip before we left the country and quadrupled our "pilot" purchase. If you need to spend those extra CHF before you leave out, there are worse things to spend it on... just be sure to stay under the duty free limit :D
