It was a 45 minute drive from our house and well worth the drive. The service is excellent and waits are moderate. Size of the petit was perfect for me. You can choose 2 flavors for each cone/cup. They have great outdoor seating for people watching and views of Lake Geneva. There is also indoor seating.

But all flavors of the tall chocolates referred to as mini-mousses are amazing! Unlike most of the stores in Switzerland on blisteringly hot summer days, the store actually has sufficient air-conditioning offering a pleasant escape! So linger for awhile.

What a wonderful experience we had at this location with it's chocolate making class…read more We walked in to checkout the chocolate selections and noticed the large prep area for a class. Asking a few questions about the classes that were offered, we selected the 75 minute class and it was perfect for my wife and I. We were the only students. I have included a few images of the experience. We also made a few purchases to take home and the family enjoyed the assortment we brought home. I highly recommend the experience of chocolate making. Enjoy!

Many of the cafe's along the street had outdoor seating. As I was coming to Steinmann's I noticed the bright green table clothes, packed tables, and line not only coming out of the store, but also waiting to receive scoops of ice cream from an outdoor stand. I couldn't help but notice the beautiful Easter bunnies in the window, and yummy looking treats. I went inside and was overwhelmed by the beautiful bright colors and numerous bodies. There was a small seating area located downstairs, and a separate tea-room upstairs, which had an additional counter with yummy treats to choose from. I picked an item to take away from the store below, and then was caught by the yummy ice cream treats people were eating outside. I found an open table so took it to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine. There were three plastic menus at the outdoor tables. A coffee drink menu, an ice cream treat menu, and a sweet treats menu (tarts, pies, etc). I was overwhelmed by all the choices. The ice cream creations looked quite large and extravagant. I just wanted a tiny scoop of the ice cream. Did I mention the ice cream is house made? I had to sample it. So I decided to order one of the coffee creations and asked for two tiny scoops of ice cream, nothing fancy. However, the lady made the tiny scoops of ice cream look amazing, and the coffee drink was amazing. The cream in the coffee drink was also house made, and was amazing. It felt decadent. I am very glad I didn't have much for lunch. I was full just after this. Even though the place was extremely busy the staff was very friendly and timely. I was shocked as I was ready to wait for awhile. The ice cream was heavenly and the coffee drink was scrumptious as well. I would go back to Thun just to enjoy this place again!

How can you ask over 4 Euros for one madeleine that has the size of a Mashmallow and tastes as if a toddler made an attempt to do something with dough.... (dry and hard). This bakery seems to have the monopole in the old town of Bern and freely define their prices. But in my opinion in a modern world you cannot ask whatever you want because you lack talent and efficacy...
