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!

Let me be clear: I am not a vegan and I will never be a vegan because I love eating meat... so to…read moreall the vegan police on the internet: shoot me, nevertheless I absolutely adore LoLa's Kitchen and prefer their cakes above many traditional cake shops. Even though the shop is literally behind my corner, I only discovered them when they started delivery via UberEats. Their toasts on the app are extremely delicious, I've tried both the Avo & hummus and the Falafel Appel one. Except for being filling and yummy they are also absolutely beautiful. They really look like the picture you see on the app, unlike most delivery foods. After trying them that way, I was interested enough to go and give them a visit and try their delicious cakes. I discovered that the shop has the friendliest owner who is happy to give you more info about her fantastic cakes. But most importantly, all the cakes I tried up till now were simply scrumptious. Honestly,I cannot remember when I last enjoyed a piece of cake this much and the fact that it is vegan and refined sugar free is nothing but a plus! Highly recommended!

Moser's Backparadies - Zürich…read more As I walked one morning, exploring downtown Zürich, I wanted something local for breakfast. This place offers freshly baked sweet delights and sandwiches that are so good. OMG!!! I ordered flakey pretzel roll with salmon. It was simple, quick bite, but by far, one of my favorite salmon sandwiches I've had in such a long time. If you're a salmon lover, be sure to stop by for quick bite. Only bad thing I would say about this place is when you first come in through glass doors, to the right... deliciousness danger zone. They offer so many amazing, freshly baked pastries that is really tempting to order one of each. You do need to have will power to control yourself lol. You will find, "Erdbeertörtli," "Vanille Cornet," "Zitronentörtli," "Punschkugel," "Carac," and "Florentiner Gross." Prices are very reasonable too. Service great too. In all seriousness, I can't wait to return here. It's centrally located in downtown area, close to other great options for dining and shopping.

A hidden gem that you have to look for, but once you've found it... they make the best macarons in…read moreZurich - enough said. Eric Baumann was making macarons before they were in, before Ladurée was in Zürich and Sprüngli released their new Deluxe Luxemburgerli. He's one of only three Swiss members of the elite confiseur guild "Relais Desserts" and macarons are simple a part of his repertoire. My favourite macaron is the chocolate macaron, made with a Grand Cru couverture from Felchlin (Trinitario fine flavour cocoa beans from Madagascar, 64%). But the vanilla macaron also really impressed me: Creamy, cool, soft vanilla butter cream - wonderful! The flavours are classic, but there also some seasonal variations. Macarons aren't his only noteworthy product. His assortment of patisserie is on the same level as Vollenweider and Honold. His bread is also very popular. All pralines are made with the finest Grand Cru couverture. The gianduja hearts, piped ganache coated in cocoa powder and sabayon pralines are particular favourites of mine! Just one slight criticism: Every now and then (especially towards the end of the day) the service isn't quite as knowledge or friendly as Mrs. Baumann or Mr. Berchtold. Otherwise their service and product knowledge is excellent. For more reviews and photo reports, please visit: http://www.dessertblog.ch

It's the best bakery in Zurich without the snooty cliental waiting in a long line. I was sent here by the 'Ass Bar' after a long conversation over sweets. Although most will tell you about the macarons -I do agree better than most but not quite my favorite- but the pastries are something to fight for. Best in town!

Why couldn't I have found this place earlier? If I had found it the day I got into Switzerland, I'm…read moresure I would have eaten my way in Luxembergeli (it's basically a macaron). It's right by the airport. (And by that I literally mean inside the airport). So, it's super convenient for souvenirs while you're traveling. They sell them by the weight and oh my goodness! Each one is a bite of heaven. We ended up buying almost twelve or so and worried that we might have bought way too many. But, we quickly learned there's no such thing as too many. They are simply divine. Just a little bit of crunch and gooey deliciousness. My favorite one was the Rose with Strawberries. (at least I think it was strawberries... chances are it could also be raspberries!) But, honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the options. Another unusual one I enjoyed was the Strawberry Rhubarb. The only thing I would warn you about is watiting to long to eat them. They're sooo good the first day or two, but get stale if you wait a week. So eat up! While you're here, don't forget to pick up some truffles too! Those are just as good as the luxembergeli, but luckily last much longer. I didn't try any of the unusual flavors, but all their chocolate was the bomb. The white chocolate truffles were absolutely my favorite of all. I wish I could say I'll be back soon, but I guess I might not be able to come back. But, anytime I'm near I'll definitely try to come back soon. For now, I might just have to settle with international delivery for special occasions.

There is a store on one side with all kinds of chocolates and goodies. We didn't order anything and stepped in the cafe side. We ordered their hot chocolate, the server noted they were famous for it, and it was awesome. Delicious and the best hot chocolate I've had. It's a premium place and pricey . . . like everything in Zurich and this time it was worth it. Great service and a memorable experience.
