To start off, the service was amazing and sweets wise the standout for me was 100% the apricot sorbet. It was absolutely divine, so smooth. The honey himself ordered the pistachio creme sandwich and the small egg tart (similar to nata) and enjoyed them both quite a bit. The seating was comfortable, plentiful, and this was probably our favorite food spot in Zurich. All in all, definitely a must-eat in Zurich if you're visiting.

Zürich, Switzerland…read more Of course, Sprüngli is another must stop visit when you're in Zürich besides the Ladërach. The location I went to is inside the train station. It's small but can comfortably hold a few people. There are plenty of displays to choose from. I wanted to buy some of their famous Luxemburgerli macarons but had a hard time deciding, so I asked the employee for the best sellers. She suggested three, and I went with those. She also mentioned they last 3-4 days and should be refrigerated immediately. It was a little treat for my daughter, and she absolutely loved them. It survived the 12hr flight . Perfect spot to pick up something special for yourself or to take home as a gift!

Zürich, Switzerland…read more This is a chocolate lover's dream and a must-stop when in Zürich. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of fresh chocolate and displays of their famous slabs, pralines, and seasonal creations. Everything looks (and tastes) amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful, offering samples and explaining the different flavors, which makes the experience fun and welcoming. CHF9.90 for 100g from the slabs isn't that bad. They are quite the size of your palm and that is quite big enough to enjoy. You can get a smaller size too if you want to try them all. It's a great spot for picking up gifts to bring home, but honestly, you'll probably want to treat yourself too. A sweet highlight of my Zürich trip.

The hand made quality of the chocolates is easy to taste, even in the mass produced bars and truffles. The employees here are nice and willing to give samples. I was shocked to see a Sugar free hazelnut bar! It had real Hazelnuts and it was delicious! It didn't have any chemically aftertaste either! High quality!

Then another 10 mins walk from the train station to the museum which is all good since we enjoyed walking along Lake Zürich. Interesting history of the evolution of Lindt chocolates.

Do NOT use the third party vendors who buy up the tickets and resell them for 3x the price... get it yourself but plan. We didn't, though... we didn't know what our schedule was. On their website, it says to not try to come if you don't have a reservation but they were nice enough to get us tickets for our family. We really took the time to listen to each and every thing on the audio guide and it was really impressive learning about things that we take for granted, like what it takes to just gather cocoa beans and the stages that goes through. Then, chocolate history in Europe then over to Switzerland and the region's history. It really makes you appreciate it. The tasting room is really fun, where it comes out as liquid and you try a variety of chocolate. Then, you see the other side of the room with the different flavors that go into the chocolate and it breaks you off different varieties of chocolate, which you can taste how fresh the different ingredients are. It really feels like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, but, like Willy Wonka, I wish they had trap doors for the many, many 'Augustus Gloop' types who steal sooooo much chocolate. You're supposed to check-in your bags for guys like the one we were following who was stuffing the samples over and over again into every pocket, then little bags he brought. It was crazy and so greedy. Then, later, you take a sample of each of their Lindor varieties but, yet again, the greedy people can't help but steal like crazy. It's a little depressing, honestly, how people can't just behave. Anyway, sorry about the rant... I just hate seeing them getting ripped off. It's a really nice tour and just being on the only site the company has ever been on is amazing history. Also, the café at the end is really great too... we had a great lunch. If you take the time to really listen to the history, you'll need a solid two hours, possibly three if you want to relax and have lunch. This is the perfect rainy-day activity.

I got way too many different types of chocolates to enumerate though each one. But the general…read moretheme seemed to be that the FrischSchoggi were the way to go. Those were the huge slabs of freshly made chocolates and varying mix-ins. Then a block size of your choosing is snapped off and put in a bag. I found the milk chocolate and white chocolate to be the best, since they do all things creamy well here. The darker chocolate didn't stand out as much in my opinion, especially with Belgian dark chocolate as a comparison point. And the mix-ins are more of a matter of personal preferences, but anything that contained any type of roasted nut tasted great to me. I also tried some truffles, pralines and bonbons. All were delicious little bites. But it just felt I was getting a lot more chocolate from the bars than from the individual pieces. Especially noticeable if you're looking for a large box to bring back home as a present.

Teuscher is known for their champagne truffles so, I made sure I got a box of them. I also got bars and boxes of chocolates to give away to friends and family. I love how they have a lactose-free chocolate option. They have white, milk, and dark chocolates, plain, fruits, nuts... The customer service was superb! They saw me struggling with all the chocolate bars in my hands so, they quickly grabbed them from me and gave me a basket for more chocolates. And the gentleman was telling me about their products. They were giving me free samples so I can narrow down my options...or make me grab more chocolates. They gave me extra shopping bags since I had multiple bags from different chocolate shops when I walked in. I've been munching on chocolates more than usual every single day since I went to Zurich. I've been comparing different brands and I must say their champagne truffles definitely live up to the hype. Yuuuummm!!! You just can't go wrong with Swiss chocolates.

I also tried their famous champagne truffle (dark chocolate version) and ultimately decided I didn't like the champagne flavor in chocolate but loved the rest of the truffle. Also the shop is adorable in a way that makes it quite different from the more corporate Sprüngli and Läderach vibe. Plus they had a lot of gluten free and lactose free options which was very nice. Want to go back and try more truffles!
