Zürich, Switzerland…read more This is a chocolate lover's dream and a must-stop when in Zürich. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of fresh chocolate and displays of their famous slabs, pralines, and seasonal creations. Everything looks (and tastes) amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful, offering samples and explaining the different flavors, which makes the experience fun and welcoming. CHF9.90 for 100g from the slabs isn't that bad. They are quite the size of your palm and that is quite big enough to enjoy. You can get a smaller size too if you want to try them all. It's a great spot for picking up gifts to bring home, but honestly, you'll probably want to treat yourself too. A sweet highlight of my Zürich trip.

Most expensive country in the world! Even the chocolate is expensive!…read more They have a great variety of local made chocolates. As an American on vacation, the quality justifies the price! The hand made quality of the chocolates is easy to taste, even in the mass produced bars and truffles. The employees here are nice and willing to give samples. I was shocked to see a Sugar free hazelnut bar! It had real Hazelnuts and it was delicious! It didn't have any chemically aftertaste either! High quality!

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!

Then another 10 mins walk from the train station to the museum which is all good since we enjoyed walking along Lake Zürich. Interesting history of the evolution of Lindt chocolates.

Do NOT use the third party vendors who buy up the tickets and resell them for 3x the price... get it yourself but plan. We didn't, though... we didn't know what our schedule was. On their website, it says to not try to come if you don't have a reservation but they were nice enough to get us tickets for our family. We really took the time to listen to each and every thing on the audio guide and it was really impressive learning about things that we take for granted, like what it takes to just gather cocoa beans and the stages that goes through. Then, chocolate history in Europe then over to Switzerland and the region's history. It really makes you appreciate it. The tasting room is really fun, where it comes out as liquid and you try a variety of chocolate. Then, you see the other side of the room with the different flavors that go into the chocolate and it breaks you off different varieties of chocolate, which you can taste how fresh the different ingredients are. It really feels like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, but, like Willy Wonka, I wish they had trap doors for the many, many 'Augustus Gloop' types who steal sooooo much chocolate. You're supposed to check-in your bags for guys like the one we were following who was stuffing the samples over and over again into every pocket, then little bags he brought. It was crazy and so greedy. Then, later, you take a sample of each of their Lindor varieties but, yet again, the greedy people can't help but steal like crazy. It's a little depressing, honestly, how people can't just behave. Anyway, sorry about the rant... I just hate seeing them getting ripped off. It's a really nice tour and just being on the only site the company has ever been on is amazing history. Also, the café at the end is really great too... we had a great lunch. If you take the time to really listen to the history, you'll need a solid two hours, possibly three if you want to relax and have lunch. This is the perfect rainy-day activity.

Yelp Review 2023 #22:…read more Läderach is one of my favorite chocolatiers in the whole world. I eat chocolate everyday, and I travel the world sampling chocolates. I've been to Belgium which some say has the best chocolate. I've been to France, Italy, UK, Germany, Finland, and Ecuador - they do have some good chocolate. But I will always want Swiss chocolate. There are three chocolatiers in Switzerland that I love. I like Läderach because they don't overcomplicate their combinations. And they give you free samples. You can buy boxes of chocolates, truffles by the bag, chocolate slabs by the gram. My favorites are the chocolate with whole hazelnut slabs, and chocolate cornflake slabs. They have a nice selection of chocolate + hazelnut so I get a box of those in different varieties. This particular location is at the Central Station which is convenient. There is another Läderach outside Central Station. Whichever location you go to, you can expect the same great experience and some of the finest chocolates that will ever touch your mouth.

Yes, chocolate in Switzerland. There are so many options, and many of them are very good,…read moreespecially if you like milk chocolate. This place has some excellent dark and white chocolate in addition to the traditional milk. You can get a huge variety of truffles, or they have slabs of chocolate with various inclusions like candied oranges, blackberry, roasted hazelnuts or almonds, or even some more exotic varieties with things like pink peppercorns or pistachios. The people at Läderach pride themselves on FRESHNESS, so I wouldn't recommend overbuying. Not that it was much of a problem for us: the first bag was gone within a day, so we had to plan a return trip before we left the country and quadrupled our "pilot" purchase. If you need to spend those extra CHF before you leave out, there are worse things to spend it on... just be sure to stay under the duty free limit :D
