They have an interesting choice of chocolates and cakes. The service is always very friendly and warmhearted. Princess fancy cake is definitely my favourite one. It's a soft cream biscuit cake covered with green marzipan and on top there is a red marzipan rose. They have it in 3 sizes but the small one should be enough for 2 persons. You can buy a bigger one but it's better to eat it in the same day^^ I did also tried other delicious products such as black forest cake, lemon and also orange quark cakes, chocolates etc. Tschirren is a traditional Bern pastry shop and they recently have got competition from Zurich Sprüngli who opened a branch in Berne railway station. The prices are rather averaged considering the very high quality of their products.

Yelp Review 2026 #71:…read more Bern's very own chocolatier. They seriously only have this one store and people should know about this place even though I want to keep this gem to myself. Their chocolates are divine! I bought a bunch of chocolate bars, truffles and pralines. I came back to get some more and a cup of hot chocolate. I wish they had a sit-down cafe because they have cakes but no, you can only get them to-go. They stayed stable in the cold Swiss air. Hold them with your warm fingers in 90-degree Vegas heat and they melt within seconds. They're creamy and rich - the way chocolate should be. The ladies behind the counter were so helpful and kind. They were giving out samples - they were sampling their own chocolates too. LOL. That's when you know it's good when the employees stand behind the product and enjoy them too.

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.

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!
