This is an amazing place to grab a quick lunch, a decadent dessert, a refreshing serving of gelato, and Swiss chocolates to bring to your next destination. The staff behind the counters are helpful and patient. The place can be packed at certain times of the day especually because it is at the center of town. You can ask for a token to use the toilet as you pay and you'll find their facilities clean and comfortable. read more

0 STARS IF POSSIBLE FOR THE FOOD HALL RUDE ASS WORKERS! Working in a tourist area requires patient and understanding employees, not them! The three girls working the cashier (May 16 , 1:30 pm) should not be working here if they cannot do that. Not only were they rude, but they were complaining, and unwilling to help customers. SUPER POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Unfortunate because the food was good. FIRE THEM! read more

Very hot and need a cooling gelato! This was a great place right on main square. Local chocolate maker, desserts, gelato, sandwiches. Everything looked awesome and then- the chocolate waterfall wall! read more

Super store of chocolates, gelato, and other sweets in Lucerne, Switzerland. The "hometown" chocolate shop. Good chocolate! Place was very crowded, especially the gelato bar on a hot afternoon. Well worth the stop to see all the variety and candies available. It's impressive! Obviously a fav with locals and visitors alike. read more

What an amazing bakery and chocolatier! While there are a number of Bachmanns in the area this location is one of the bigger and busier stores with a cafe in the back that we visited. They have a larger variety of baked goods, sandwiches and other sweet goodies than the other stores. When you first walk in you feel overwhelmed as you don't know where to start or what direction to look! We picked up some chocolates and other Swiss goodies to try and to take home for family and friends. You definitely need to stop by here and check it out read more

Best place to get chocolate and visit when in the heart of Lucerne. Best place for chocolate, desserts, souvenirs and ice cream. The staff there is very helpful and will speak to you in English if need be. This shop is on a hot spot of within walking distance to all the stores and river bank of Lucerne. So it's always crowded here with people coming to check it out. read more

They have really good chocolate. Need I say more? Ok, lots of sandwich and baked goods options so a perfect place to stop in to get picnic lunch items. But, no real gluten free options - unless you want chocolate. read more

Highly Unprofessional and very Rude staff, avoid this store at all costs.. There was a middle aged lady named Agnes who responded in a loud howling manner "No" when simply asked if they carried certain type of chocolate. We were completely taken aback by such behavior. So much so that my 2 young boys were shocked and one of them started crying. We spoke to manager of the store who intervened and subsequently spoke to Agnes for over 15 minutes and Agnes was having some heated arguments with her. Finally, she came and very unwillingly apologized as if she was forced to do so, but she herself didn't realize any wrongdoing on her part. We returned all chocolates that we brought from the store right away and are going to boycott Bachmann store going forward, and encourage all our friends and families to do so as well. We hope by way of this review, the management team of this store takes action against this employee and trains their staff to exhibit proper courtesy towards customers who run their business. #boycottBachmann read more

For such a famous chocolate chain, their pastries and chocolates are very mediocre with expensive price tags. I grabbed a few pastry items and chocolates boxes and they didn't even taste as good as any pastry items you can order from a Dunkin Donut store in the US. We were disappointed. read more

Lugano, Switzerland was amazing! The art, the food, and the scenery was just captivating. It was a dope birthday trip. After a wonderful morning cruise on lake Como, I took an afternoon lunch tour in search of some culinary delights. Bachmann is a chocolate lovers dream! Definitely Put Switzerland as a bucket list travel destination. It's stunning!! read more

Highlight of the store: the chocolate fountain Wall! Of course the largest chocolate fountain in the world is at Bellagio, Vegas, but this one is very cute and stylish! Another highlight: the chocolate moose and hot chocolate. I am not sure if it's just coincident or what, Swiss people like to make their food firm, I had the firmest tofu here, and this chocolate moose is a lot more firm and dense and thicker than the usual ones you would expect. But, it's surprisingly great in a different way! The hot chocolate is super thick and sweet as you can see that the milk is on the top, and you need to mix them up together. Sooooo good and satisfying! One star off for the service here. Workers are very numb to tourists, and they don't have the typical Swiss friendliness or at least Luzern's friendliness. Price wise, let's say, you can get it for half the price in the States, and this is confirmed by talking to another American couple I ran into. However, they do seem to have a lot more choices, I would buy some if I am going home after Luzern, which is not the case unfortunately. :p read more

Undoubtedly my favorite bakery on earth. In part because so much more than a bakery. Classic European sandwiches, an emporium of open face sandwiches with glaze that look unreal and taste phenomenal, and a slew of pastries, tarts, quiches, chocolates, breads, and macrarons. Basically a sweet and savory paradise. Would go back to Switzerland just to eat here multiple times again. read more

During our travel to Switzerland we stayed next to this establishment, they have everything you could think of as far as food and chocolate. Their pastries were so fresh and the service was excellent. It had a great European vibe with diners sitting around tables enjoying their pastries, sandwiches and amazing hot chocolate. What a great experience read more

Let's be clear, my judgement was tainted when I visited Bachmann. I hadn't consumed anything but vodka truffles and had been stuck on a bus with 75 people and no air conditioning. I was nothing short of absolutely delirious. All the restaurants the tour guide took us to were Indian restaurants, and despite being Indian, I absolutely DESPISE Indian food. On the fourth day, we were booked to spend the night in Lucerne. My mom, worried that I may have gone overboard with the truffles, caved and bought me a panini. I often think of that first meal in four days, fondly remembering the beautiful tomatoes and stringy mozzarella. The air conditioning welcomed me delirious, drunk self with open arms. The panini, I recall, was a little greasy, which is why I shaved a star, however greasy food is exactly what my drunk self craved. I wolfed down the golden panini and passed out fifteen minutes later. I would definitely recommend visiting this establishment read more

I'm a fan of this bakery!! When you walk right through their doors, you'll be amazed by the glamor, glitz and pastries. It is so well lit that they showcase their delicious goodies beautifully! I got the ApfelKrapfen and my lil bro got a Berliner with Vanilla creme. Together it was about 5.10 Franc, which to me is pretty cheap/average. The ApfelKrapfen was so good, homg, i'd bring bck a box of these if i could. It's square like a sandwich and in between the two pastry layers are an apple compote - Not too sweet, apple-y, delicious, finger lickin' good! The crust was perfectly crusted with a nice sound to it when you bite into it. If you are looking for sweets, Bachmann is the place to go to, especially for yummy breakfast goods! Ps. They have tables and chairs outside if you're looking for a place to chill. Oh, and their wedding cakes look beautiful. read more

Bachmann has so many choices of sweets that there is really something for everyone! Initially, I did not want to have any chain food, but I am glad that I did not give it a go here! You can find a lot of the locals also grabbing goodies from Bachmann so there is no regret here. The staff is super friendly in helping you find something that you really fall in love with. I am bummed out that I did not have gelato from here, being that this branch did not carry it, but I will on my next trip to Switzerland! I definitely fell in love with the chocolates here and really wish I brought more truffles home! To my surprise also, the egg tart was something that was not chocolate, super flavorful and worth every penny! read more

Our Hotel was located way too close too this place because it was too easy to wander over here whenever I felt one of my multiple cravings throughout the day for a snack come on. The problem was I'd go in for a couple of macarons but end up leaving with a 1/2 pound of pralines and some chocolate croissants. There's a wide variety of goodies to be had here and everything I tried was delicious. My favorites were the various tarts (I tried apricot and pear) and the croissants (marzipan and chocolate.) Unlike many of the pastries you get in the US, which could instantly throw you into a diabetic coma because they're so sweet, the pastries here weren't overly sweet, they were just sweet enough. Besides all the pastries, macarons, and chocolates, they also serve toasted sandwiches which looked delicious as well. I didn't try any of those but the warm sandwiches did look like they'd hit the spot since it was quite cold when we were there. read more

We were strolling by the lakeside after a delicious lunch and found this bakery that offered ice cream. I opted for hazelnut flavor and it was the most delicious dessert I had, as well as a perfect addition to the lovely stroll in this nice weather whilst enjoying Lucerne. The scoops were generous so I decided to stick with 1 scoop in a cone. I'd recommend eating it fast, especially in sunny weather! read more

Lucerne is the cutest city ever. I'm here now in Dec 2014. There is snow and it is beautiful. This is a great bakery. The macaroons in Europe are alot Tinier than the US but the same price. Why?? Darnnn money exchange maybe. Bachman carries lots of breads, croissant, pastries, and paninis. I got the curry chicken. It was so delicious!! The cheese in the sandwich was strong and yummy. The bread was super hot and toasted. Gotta love the Europeans for their love for Nutella aka hazelnut chocolate. I got the hazelnut croissant. Sooo yummmm!!! Like I said this city is expensive. Minused 1 star for the prices. Happy Bakerying!! read more

I had the most wonderful raspberry almond pastry here and I also got some pistachio chocolate to go. The staff was helpful in suggesting raspberry when I asked about strawberry, go with their recommendations! They also have an amazing chocolate fountain wall behind their truffles. It's hard to go wrong here! Definitely stop in when doing a chocolate shop tour in Lucerne! read more

There was so much to choose from here! I think we will have to come every day that we are here in Lucerne. Today I had the Berliner vanillecreme, which was amazing. The pastry itself was perfect and I could have just eaten that with the powdered sugar. The vanilla cream was a nice addition though. Can't wait to try another! read more

A convenient and value-conscious spot for a warm lunch (panini, pizza, etc.) - for even better pricing, grab food to go. Saves $$$ in comparison to steeply pricing restaurants (which, in general, offer food of marginal superiority). read more

There's a separate price for eating-in as opposed to taking out but it's not like there's a waiter or anything. They literally just give you your pastry on a tray at the cash register and charge you one extra Franc. Unbelievable. It's like I'm being taxed for taking up space. Sorry God! Doesn't even make sense since it's not like there's a crowd rushing to eat here. The only reason we came here was to sit some place warm while we ate our packed lunch. We bought the pastry out of courtesy. Get this- as soon as we sat down and unpacked our packed lunch, the cashier came over and said we couldn't eat outside food here. On top of that, we spent $100 on our train tickets to Lucerne, it's raining outside, and Donald Trump is President. read more

Pizza was greasy and crust tasteless. My daughter asked to try an ice cream flavor which they wouldn't do. She didn't like what she got and ended up buying another flavor which was just okay. Charge for toilet, although one person in our party was given a token to use. Pastries looked good and have assortment of Lindt candies--priced higher than at Transportation Museum. read more

If you like chocolate stop here for tasty treats. Near the inspirational cathedral. Amen.

I don't know if all Bachmann's have an ice cream parlor inside...but this one did. And that's the only reason why we decided to go, haha. Now I only wish we had tried it sooner!! Best. Hazelnut. Gelato. Ever. Flavor was perfect, texture was amazing!! Creamy, rich, but not sickeningly so. Serving size was meh and I can't say prices were cheap. It is Switzerland after all...everything is hella expensive, especially when it comes to food. But omg. I've never had such good hazelnut gelato. And I don't even normally get hazelnut! It was only cause they were out of pistachio. But so glad that they were! Highly recommend giving their gelato a try, especially the hazelnut flavor :) The location is great too and you get gorgeous views of the lake. Cherry on top! read more
