This is a very nice little shop with excellent chocolate. The young woman behind the counter was…read morevery helpful, was patient with my terrible French, and spoke English. After I chose my chocolates, she put them in a pretty gold bag since they were a gift. The bag was not very good protection and two chocolates were smashed in my suitcase. Since I couldn't give away damaged chocolates, I had to eat those.

Fantastic. First of…read moreall, when you walk in, the place smells like heaven. I could have stood in there for hours just taking in all the smells. The staff don't speak English very well, but they speak the language of chocolate, and that translates very well. The chocolates themselves are insanely good. A wide variety of flavors and nothing is bad. If I'm back in Lausanne I won't hesitate to make a beeline for this place.

My group and I made a pit stop in Lausanne on our way back to Geneva from Montreux and this lovely…read morehole-in-the-wall chocolate shop caught our eye. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly host who guided us through their entire selection of chocolate as well as what chocolate Switzerland was known for. He was also kind enough to let us all sample 2 chocolates. Our group ended up buying 40+ pieces across the 4 of us, which we readily consumed over the next 2 days. Each piece was as rich and unique as was described, and certainly gave us a good start to our Switzerland chocolate experience.

I came into Durig because I read online that you can do chocolate workshops here throughout the…read moreday. Unfortunately I didn't have time to try the workshop, but I did walk around and pick out some chocolates to bring home as gifts. The prices are high, as they are in any gourmet chocolate shop around Lausanne. The lowest price I found was around 5 CHF and it went up from there. They have amazing individual chocolate selection at the cash register, which is priced by weight and comes out to around 1-2 CHF per piece. The associate was so kind and helpful - honestly the friendliest person I met in Lausanne. She also gave me a free piece of chocolate (you get to pick) when I checked out! The best part of the experience was that when I paid and had to select USD or CHF, she said she recommended CHF - that is the better exchange rate and she was nice enough to mention it. I highly recommend coming in if you're in Lausanne!!

One of the best cake shops in Lausanne. They have different breads, sandwiches and an interesting…read morerange of pastries. Every time the quality of their products was very good. Our favourites are the small strawberry tarts, the nut cakes and the brewed pears tart (raisinée in French). The slices of bread with a topping, for instance salmon or cheese (tête de moine in French), are yum too. There is another shop from Laurent Buet in the area which has a tearoom as well. Service is always very friendly and the prices are averaged.
