I was very pleased to see actual "inside" photos of this candy shop as the owner is always telling…read moreeveryone to please not take them! Maybe he softened up that day! :) Anyway, when we visit Germany, we live in Karlsruhe with long time friends ( a 40 minute drive from The Zuckerladen) ... and it is always one of the very first stops we make after we arrive in Deutschland. The owner is a charming and eccentric soul... The Willy Wonka of Heidelberg, and the candy he has selected for his customers is out of this world - from the standard German Gummi bears, to extremely amazingly fine chocolate, and everything in-between. Its location is also delightfully charming- situated in a nice cozy little part of town. A MUST when you visit Heidelberg... for the chocolate, and everything else that comes along with it. Closed Sunday and Monday. So. und Mo. geschlossen Facebook/Heidelberger Zuckerladen

A Heidelberg highlight, and a must see when visiting!

We ordered the hot chocolate and chose to leave it au natural, versus add one of the many aromas and flavors they offer. The drink was rich, thick, and velvety. It's what hot chocolate is supposed to taste like. We savored every drop. Run, don't walk to this chocolate confection heaven. It's now a staple for every visit to Heidelberg.

Some cheeses, pâté, pretzel bread, olives and a few German salads we didn't know existed. The potato in oil with onions and leeks was out of control good.
