When I'm Switzerland by Lake Cuomo, we saw a Laderach and had to stop by. Having then here in LA,…read morewe already knew the quality of the chocolate, but wanted to see if it was different in Switzerland. Fun fact, there is definitely no decline in the quality, it actually tasted exactly the same, and was a little less expensive than here. And you can still sample all of the different barks they have before behind a decision to buy. So, if in Switzerland, stop by Laderach and grab some of the best chocolate bark available. Highly recommend the bark with hazelnuts

Of course you have to stop here for some chocolate…read more We experienced Laderach several years ago while in Switzerland and even took a chocolate making class. There are so much any options, it's good to select a few different types. Make sure you stop by and have a look. Grab some chocolates and enjoy!

Absolutely loved the Swiss chocolate here we taste tested several different flavors, it was a…read morewonderful opportunity to try Swiss chocolate. Our service was impeccable since it was our first time to Switzerland. We purchased four different flavors of chocolate and couldn't wait to share it with our family back in the United States . We rode the Bernina line open window train and bus from Milan to Saint Moritz. unfortunately on our way home, we left our chocolate on the train so we looked for other stores in Milan and the airport, but didn't find anything. Thankfully our sales clerk let us know that there was a location in Houston, Texas, and we're going to visit next month. we were so sad, but pray that someone else has a chance to experience the amazing chocolate.

We look asian but we are not chinese and we are American citizens. But she was very rude, she pick and choose customers. We standed in front of her and she kept picking the other customers whom have white skin color. We were there first, in front line. But she kept saying hi and invited others next to us or behind us. Until I can't hold it anymore and stopped her before she pick another customer behind us. She wasn't happy when I ask her to help us. She went to the back and ear drop another employee something and that employee gave us a wierd look. I hate when people racist and make assumptions about to be chinese. I read the reviews and there were multiple reviews mention about your employees were rude and only pick customers by the look (skin color, looking rich). The reality is I was the one bought the most. The other white skin customer bought only €13. I paid total €64. The others white customers were in the same tour trip with us and also noticed that your employees were racist. Shame on them. They think they are above everyone.
