It's very cool to watch the many steps some of their creations go through. I finally got to try Cremeschnitte. It's a yummy little dessert with layers of cream and pastry. I think as a joke they make the top a hard jelly layer so it's impossible to cut without smashing the whole thing to pieces. Oh well, it still tastes lovely. Anyway, the people working here were nice and the desserts were yummy. It's just a typical cafe but the thing on the TV was pretty awesome. I guess it makes me feel less guilty paying so much for small candies, the're all hand made with tender love and care, after all. Dieses Cafe ist hertzig und modern. Durch das Cafe ist ein Fernseher an den Wand. Ich habe das Fernseher angeshauen und ich habe uber der Schocolade gelearnt. Es war sehr interesant. Ich habe Cremeschnitte auch geschmekt und es war sehr gut!

We found this option on Yelp, and it is a pretty cool building and very quaint inside. Unfortunately, the person behind the counter, and our server, did not speak any English...and we didn't speak German. And the menu was in German. So we really struggled to order our breakfast. But they were friendly, and we did manage to order something that we were okay with. However, in hind sight, we should have just stood at the counter and pointed to something in the display case to get the pastry or egg dish we wanted. Oh well, maybe next time!

Awesome breakfast! My husband got the bigger omelette (he says it was bigger than he expected which…read moreis very positive) and I had the scheisser breakfast with hot chocolate, juice, bread, and we both had croissants with butter & jam. The jam was delightful and the hot chocolate was good too! It came in a tea pot with my breakfast and there was enough for both my husband & I. You need to have a vaccination card to eat here. We had a lovely experience!

When I say small, the salesperson behind the counter and my husband and I filled the space. When another patron stopped in, it got crowded. The display of chocolates was easy on the eyes and called to the chocolate lover within. The saleswoman introduced us to Lackerli, a kind of shortbread style cookie, but soft like a brownie. Only available in Basel, it make the trip back to the U.S.A. to be shared with friends. There was a great deal of construction going on right outside the door and we had to return because when we found it, it was closed, however, during the day we missed it the first time we walked past. So, just a little heads up.

I first visited one of their stores in Zurich, on guess where? Bahnhofstraße, of course. Clearly the company knows what travelers want for their journey. This store is very similar to that one in setup. But no matter how much you spend here, it never seems enough when the chocolate is gone. And now four weeks after my visit to this store, I'm lamenting my short sightedness. Yes, they're that delicious! Incredible really. According to the company...

Definitely felt the joy of a kid in a candy shop - this place is a feast for the eyes! Hard to decide/restrain myself on what to buy, so we opted to try one of their specialty truffles. The chocolate was smooth with nice infused flavor, definitely a specialty experience. Price point is a bit higher to match the quality and specialty of the shop.
