Omg. If you're a chocolate lover, then this is the perfect place for you. I had zero plans of getting any chocolate when I went to the Brea mall for an errand. One of the employees offered a sample as I was on my way out and I was hooked! The most delicious chocolate I've ever had. They let you sample several selections. I went with the hazelnut... and my goodness was it incredible. Excellent customer service as well. Worth stopping by for sure, and as much as I hate malls, I'd return just for this place. read more

My friend I visited here yesterday and I was more interested in talking to the customer service about their chocolates and actually taking a few photos of the store that I had no idea my friend from Canada had bought one of the baskets, the FrischSchiggi boat. This comes with a variety pack of different swiss chocolates pieces ranging from milk, dark, white, etc. I was very impressed by the store and kept thinking after lunch we will come back. But we never did. She surprised me by buying this treat basket for me. It is now 3am in the morning and I have eaten almost one third of the basket. Lol. I would say best chocolate ever. I am so glad she bought this great swiss chocolate. This is in the Brea mall. Not sure if they are a chain, but its only 11 miles from me, and I will definitely go back with my sweet tooth for more. The service was great. I really enjoy great customer service along with excellent products. Thank you. 5/5. read more

Great customer service and high-quality chocolate products. The packaging is lovely which makes it a wonderful foodie gifts for yourself and others! They let you sample items before purchase. You can build your own product and they also have plenty of pre-made chocolate sets to choose from. The Raspberry-Blackberry White and FrischSchoggi Mixed Fruit White are my favorites due to the fruity, citrusy, and tangy flavors enveloped in the chocolate. read more

I'm completely OBSESSED with the pistachio bark and want to buy more but I don't trust myself so I just had a few samples today. 5 stars for the kind employees who know they will make a sale giving out samples. They are so smart to do the sample strategy! read more

Discovered this place thanks to free samples the staff were giving out when we passed by. Instantly fell in love with the first bite, and become a Laderach fan for life. The almond and chocolate is my favorite but also tried the other flavors, including strawberry crème, pistachio, and dark chocolate. They are all of great quality and crunch. The store smells and looks amazing, full of great quality chocolate from Switzerland. Give this place a try if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed! read more

This exquisite chocolate shop is located in the Brea Mall. The moment I walked in I was offered a sample, a small piece broken from a giant slab of hazelnut-chocolate. One bite of this incredible Swiss chocolate will tell you what real chocolate is all about. They have a variety of flavors of these chocolate barks which can be broken into whatever size you prefer. But I came for a few of the pretty chocolates, pralines and truffles, in their display case. I had a few boxed as a gift. I forget what all I chose but I did get a dark chocolate truffle and a praline nougatine for myself and both were amazing. The woman assisting me was very nice and informative. They also have beautiful pre-boxed chocolates that make great gifts. read more

It's impossible to go to Brea Mall and not take a detour to Laderach. Their chocolate just calls out to us, so who are we to ignore the siren song? That being said, we had to take home some goodies despite our new year resolutions. I mean, life is hard enough, why can't we sweeten it with a bit of chocolate? read more

We went inside the store out of curiosity when we saw blocks of chocolates being cut behind the glass at the store. Once inside, we were offered ample sample of chocolates - matcha and milk chocolates with nuts! The cool part is you could literally just ask for any type you wanted to try and they'd hand over a sample - without feeling any pressure to buy - at least that was the vibes I got. While those samples alone could have satisfied our cravings already, we ended up buying some few pieces to take home. Praline Nougatine is my absolute favorite, but all the chocolates we tried were delicious - not overly sweet. The sales associates were very helpful guiding us through our selection and even giving us a rough idea of the price: about $2 per small piece which is definitely on the higher side for a chocolate- but that compensates for the quality and taste. This shop is located inside the Brea Mall - the place itself is super bright and clean with display of different chocolates. It felt a bit fancy but in a good way. Consider this spot as officially added to our must-visit list whenever we're at Brea Mall! read more

GREAT business to hand out free, generous portioned samples of chocolate to all the mall customers passing by! That's exactly how my love for their chocolate began. Yes.. it's pricier than your normal Hershey bar but the standards here are much higher if you're looking for rich, authentic chocolate (straight from Switzerland!). I never knew chocolate could taste SO delicious & creamy. Your tastebuds just KNOW when it's the real deal. The hazelnut chocolate bark is top tier. I've gifted their chocolate as gifts several times and everyone has enjoyed them. Give them a try! Simply just pass by the front, pop a sample in your mouth, and let pure bliss sink in. You'll feel like an actor in a Godiva chocolate commercial. read more

Wasn't planning on buying any chocolate while making a return at Brea Mall, but a couple of friends and I stumbled upon this spot offering free samples--and I'm so glad we did! I'd never heard of this Swiss chocolate brand before, but the sample was so good that two of us bought chocolate on the spot, and our other friend is planning to come back to get some as Diwali gifts. The Swiss chocolate is absolutely delicious. We picked up the hazelnut bark, and it was perfectly rich and crunchy--definitely worth it. I'll be back for more! read more

Forgot to review this place. This location gets 5 stars. They're friendly and gives generous samples. I wanted to try the Dubai chocolate here and the guy who helped me gave me a piece to try. Because he did, I ended up getting some chocolate here. Granted, it's not cheap at all. Actually, it's quite expensive for the amount you get. But what you get is quality and you can tell that it's high quality chocolate that is so amazingly delicious. Definitely worth coming here to try it out and if you like it, grab $10 worth of chocolate to enjoy for a special occasion. I'll be back! read more

Amazing chocolate that is creamy and delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful even through the holiday rush.

I went on Friday and when I got home they forgot to put a box of three chocolates in the bag. I called the store and they said the box was inadvertently left out. I went in today and they not only replaced the missing chocolates, additional pieces were included for their mistake. This is exceptional customer service. read more

My first encounter with Läderach Chocolatier Suisse was a generous-sized Milk Chocolate Almond Bark from one of the employees who was passing out free samples outside of the store. From that moment forward, Läderach has become one of my favorite milk chocolate bars for its decadent taste and luscious texture. It makes for a great gift when visiting family or friends. And the display of all their chocolate bars only make you want to indulge their chocolate even more. This chocolatier is located inside the Brea Mall so you'd have to navigate your way through the mall to find it. The quality, the taste, and the beautiful packaging are what makes me trust Läderach chocolates for gifting! read more

The dark chocolate with hazelnut it's the best I ever eat . I become addicted to that chocolate. I used to get 1/2 of sheet now I had to order the whole sheet over 2 pounds read more

Extremely generous with the samples and everything is quite delicious. My favorite tends to be the hazelnut and the standard milk/dark chocolate almond. You can buy a lot of the chocolate by the pound (even small pieces) or if you prefer the smaller individual Bon Bon style pieces, you can go that route as well. read more

The absolute best Chocolates I've ever had. This Chocolate is well worth the price. They offer unique flavors and pairings. Exceptional!

I had a wonderful experience! My sister and I were helped by Andrea who was exceptional. She kindly offered samples and walked us through each tasting. We were able to find our mom the perfect gift, and most certainly plan to return! read more

Oh boy, well let's start with the lead-in, they are like drug dealers handing out samples, once you've tried this chocolate it ruins you. The taste is so rich and creamy, my go to now is the hazelnut milk chocolate, and the Florentine which is a sticky almond mixture milk chocolate. Both are addictive. Caveat this place is not for the faint hearted it's pricey!!;2 piece of chocolate $68.00.! But you have to pay for exquisite chocolate that is hands down the best I've tasted, it's going to be an expensive habit lol ! read more

I love this chocolatier. Very smooth and not overly sweet. The praline truffles are outstanding. Very good quality chocolate.

A new chocolate place has come into our town and it is named Laderach. It is from Switzerland and has been around the business for 60 years now. This location is inside the Brea mall at the same spot as Godiva use to be. Which is on the ground floor close to the Nordstrom side. Decided to give this place a try recently and the person that was helping us was very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained the different varieties of chocolates they had since it was both our first times. He even gave us a sample to try which was nice. Overall I bought a small sample size of the different bark chocolates which they call FrischSchoggi to see which one would be my favorite. All of the flavors in the pack were seriously amazing and I would say the chocolate flavor is better than Godiva. So if you are into some milky and flavorful chocolate this is a place to get it! read more

If I could give zero!!! I went to the laderach chocolate store to buy chocolate at 0748 pm on 04/30/25. I asked the cashier (dark hair with pony tail and wore glasses) nicely to help me throw away the napkin and I put next to her and immediately she gave me the most stern face! She said, "You cannot put it there!" Well, excuse me! You didn't have to talk to your customer like this! You could smiled at me and say it nicely about where is the trash can in your store!!! I did not deserve to have that kind of mean attitude!! After all my attitude was decent and I did not treat her the way she treated me! I will never walk into such unfriendly store ever again!!!! Although their chocolate tasted better than sees. But this one employee sucks!!! read more

Amazing! I have been coming here since they opened. Great quality and service has been consistent. My favorite is milk chocolate with corn flakes cereal. read more

If you're a fan of chocolate, this is the place to go. The chocolates here are high quality and flavorful. It's an experience you do not want to end and keep wanting more. The samples I've tried have not disappointed me yet and I'm sure I'll be back for more. The customer service here is pretty stellar. Everyone is well trained and knowledgeable of their products. I felt welcomed when I entered and was offered samples to try. I was given different options and recommendations which I appreciated. The only downside here is the cost. The chocolates here are pricy and be prepared to spend $50+ for a box of chocolate. They also sell chocolates by weight and $10 is about the size of a palm. Although the chocolates here are not cheap, it's definitely worth trying. read more

I think I have found my favorite chocolate place. This place is dangerous. The chocolate is made in Switzerland. I was walking the mall and there was a worker in front of the store who was offering chocolate with hazelnut as a sample. It was like good chocolate with whole pieces of hazelnut. I have never had a whole hazelnut in my chocolate before. It was so good that I had to buy some more. I went in and there were stacks and stacks of different chocolate to choose from. All in different colors too. I was so happy. Different kind of chocolate throughout the store. This place is charged by the piece. I ended up with a big piece and it was about $35. It lasted really long and I shared it with a couple of friends. Everyone thought it was good. I was able to eat a little piece each day and it was pure happiness! This place is a chocolate dream. However, it was not a dream cause the prices were pretty high. Be careful with the piece you pick. I think this place is popping up in different malls cause I saw it at Cerritos Mall too. Overall, great chocolate, expensive chocolate! I will be back when I want to treat myself. read more

I didn't use to be big into chocolate but after Läderach, my world changed. The chocolate is so creamy and decadent in each bite. So many different flavors available for everyone. Some boxes are pre-packaged and boxed on the shelf (these have the longest shelf life from the rest) and the other bagged barks or the large ones on display you can get by weight last for roughly 1 month only. Läderach allows you to sample selections before purchasing. During our last visit, Stephen was very helpful and answered any questions we had as we came looking for gifts for others. Must visit when you're at the mall - on the first floor close to Nordstrom (underneath Mrs. Fields). read more

I'm not even the biggest fan of chocolate but Läderach has converted me. It all started with the samples that they handed out at the door. The workers were so kind in helping me choose a chocolate I liked after sampling a few of the ones they had on display. They're also so generous with the sample sizes! During my first visit, I sampled the white chocolate with pistachio, almonds and candied orange at the door. The next thing I knew, I was walking out with dark chocolate blackberry which was one of the best ones I've tasted. During my second visit, I took my mom with me because she also ended up liking the samples I brought back for her. This time, I sampled strawberry white chocolate at the door. I'm not really a fan of white or milk because they're really sweet but this one was delicious! I walked inside and sampled the seasonal Gingerbread Milk flavor which will definitely be a hit if you're someone who likes milk chocolate. I told the worker I liked dark chocolate and that's when I tried the hazelnut dark and I think it was the Brazil 70% dark. Both were amazing, however, I can officially say dark chocolate raspberry is my favorite and now my mom's favorite because that's what she ended up choosing and taking home. Overally, highly recommend it. It's pricey but the quality is great and the service is amazing. read more

This is a prime example of how a little marketing giveaway of free chocolate will convert new customers. I was one of them! So much so that I'd just spent over $100+ on Christmas gifts last month. Thanks a lot! No hard feelings though. This place is worth a try. Their chocolate is amazing; So smooth and so delectable. I highly recommend the hazelnut chocolate bars that you can pick however much to purchase. Fair warning, this place is quite pricey so what you think isn't a lot of chocolate will start to rack up in $$s. Their little chocolate pralines and truffles are delicate and incredibly flavorful too. I am officially a fan! read more

If you want real chocolate that will take you to another world this is the spot. I don't eat candy but when I do it's Laderach.

We were lured into this shop by the phenomenal chocolate smell when we were walking around in the malls It is very pricey, hence the 4 stars, but the chocolate and nuts they use is very high quality and the staff is friendly and sweet! The samples offered were generous, and when we decided to get something, they offered to let me try samples of certain flavors without me having to ask. The experience is just smooth and enjoyable. The dark chocolate with macadamia nut is phenomenal. The chocolate in the chocolate confetti was good, but I didn't love the taste of the candies they used as confetti. read more
