Yelp Review 2026 #96:…read more I went to Laderach in different cities everyday while I was in Switzerland. This location is in Luzern Bahnhof and it's actually better than the location in Zürich Bahnhof. They have more selections here. There were two Frisch schoggi kinds I was trying to get but didn't find while in Zürich: Dubai chocolate, and vegan cashew. My favorite Frisch schoggi slabs I get all the time are vegan cashew (tastes and melts just like regular chocolate), hazelnut, and cornflakes. Add their Dubai chocolate to that list - you won't find it at all Laderach locations though. They have limited/ seasonal Frisch schoggi. In May, they had banana split. It's delicious so, I got a slab of that too. I got some truffles and mini mousses. I grabbed individually-wrapped chocolates for my friends. On my first day in Luzern, I went to this location twice. I first came here in the morning before going to the hotel. I was minding my own business taking pictures of the chocolates. The employee behind the counter was like "don't a picture of me". Girl, I have no reason to take your picture! I left. I came back in the afternoon for my chocolate break and that employee wasn't there anymore. I took pictures and the afternoon shift employee wasn't giving me samples left and right and was super nice and helpful. So, I bought chocolates from her.

The chocolate displayed here is like no other. It draws you into the store. And they give free…read moresamples too. I had to check it out. And I bought a few gift boxes to bring to friends. There are a few I saw scattered around Lucerne. Highly recommend. And help was very accommodating.

We were recently in Lucerne, which by the way is a beautiful city! We travel a lot and are always…read morein search of superb chocolate and pastries. We did not find this small, family owned shop online, but did during one of our daily walks. It was by far the best that we found in Lucerne, including Bachman's, which is everywhere. Both Hugo and Margrit were very accomodating, though we only speak English, we felt welcomed, and were never rushed to choose. They took the time to answer our questions, and took an interest in us as well. We bought 2 different pastries daily, and split them, just so we could try something new and delicious every day. The pastry was light, the fillings were scrumptious. We took some chocolates home with us, again a variety, and of course they were delicious. I would recommend any visiting or living locally to give them a try.

Yelp Review 2026 #109:…read more Max Chocolatier is one of my favorites. They started here in Luzern so, I had to grab more chocolates here. This is a much bigger store than the one in Zurich. They have two employees here and they both will take their time for each customer in the store. Clearly, they want everyone to have the best and most focused experience while in the store and I appreciate that so much. It shows how much they care about the product even though the product speak for themselves. They'll give you free samples of whatever you want to try. They recommended their mate (South. American drink) truffle which I would not try on my own and I'm glad they did because I absolutely loved it and bought some. I had a clear plan on what I want to get from here: a box of passionfruit dragee, a box of pralines and a few truffles. I like how they put the truffles in a box. Most chocolatiers don't have boxes for when you pick your own truffles. You can pick a message tag for your chocolate boxes. There's many to choose from - in English, German and French. Since all the boxes I bought are for me and my sister, I picked message tags that resonated with me such as "I love dich". They also have blank tags if you want to write your own message. They have a coffee kiosk on front but it closes earlier than the store. They have espresso, cortado, cappuccino, latte, matcha, hot chocolate, etc. If you have time and want to create your own chocolate bar, go to their studio across the lake. You have to book your appointment though and prepay.

Best hot chocolate! You can get it with or without whipped cream. I chose no cream-- give me all…read morethe chocolate. You pick dark chocolate or light- give me the dark! It was so Rich, decadent, viscous. It was lovely on a chilly day. Easy to order at the window and paid by card. Friendly and wonderful service. When you want a hot chocolate ..go to an actual chocolatier to have one made on the spot. It really is the best!

Yelp Review 2026 #99:…read more This is a bigger location in Luzern. It's about a 5-8 minute walk from Luzern Bahnhof and I highly recommend coming here instead of the Bahnhof location. They have way more stuff here and they also carry other brands of chocolates. Not to mention the chocolate wall they're famous for. They have chocolates, ice cream, pastries, sandwiches and savory food. The chocolate wall is fun to watch for a few seconds and you're back to shopping for chocolates. Since this is a big location, you would think they would have employees behind every section but they don't. O wanted to get truffles but there was nobody there. I waited for a minutes but nobody came. So, I moved on and grabbed a bar of chocolate instead and paid for it at the sandwich counter. It's big, spacious even though it got crowded, well-stocked and organized.

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.

The styles and types of chocolates are almost limitless. If you like chocolate, you'll find something here! Yes, expensive, but it is ranked up there with the best in the world.

Crazy good chocolates. They have some standard packaged treats of chocolate treats but the real…read moregood stuff is behind the counter. Long sheets of chocolate about a quarter inch thick. Some with nuts, some dark, some with caramel and so on. You make a sign with your hands as to how big a piece you want and they break off a section. Price is by weight and very worth it. Delicious

A Bakery with good food at the Café…read more This is a place I visit frequently. It's inside one of the bigger malls around (Emmen Center - easily accessable by public transportation). It's part of a bigger franchise with lots of stores in the town of Lucerne. They do sell pastries, bread, sandwiches and much more here. The pastries and desserts are average, but the bread really good. But we always come here to have lunch in the attached Café / restaurant (dogs allowed). You wouldn't expect much from it, but it serves really good food. Easy stuff like Nuggets, fries and hot sandwiches. But very good are the Pizzas and the Pasta. Service is fine. You order at the counter and you pick up your food yourself when it's ready....and it's ready pretty fast, even when the place is packed. Pizza with the hot salami (hot peperoni) is mostly my choice. Sometimes I go for the a bit more adventurous Pizza with Pineapple and Curry. But also the pasta is very well made. Pesto Ravioli for example....great choice. Comes with the nice pesto sauce, permesan cheese and a good load of pine nuts on top. Small portion (about 10-12 pieces) cost about 12 CHF. Pizza are between 11 and 13 CHF. So it is actually a pretty cheap place to eat....and it's better than many restaurants around (or in Lucerne). Like I said, we come here frequently....and the quality is always good, they have a good standard and you won't be disappointed.
