I'd give this place 3.5-4 stars. Having been to their other locations, this place is chaotic and busy with a great lack in paying attention to potential diners and current diners. They do have a quick counter where you can grab a sandwich, croissant, slice of cake if you're in a rush - but that counter could have quite a line too. There's also the chocolate shop where you can grab your last minute chocolate gifts or a box of luxemburgli (their mini macarons)for family and friends. But I do love their hot chocolate, their cake, and luxemburgli. So despite the lack in wait staff, I felt obliged to eat here one last time before flying home. But the quick service counter lady and another person staff member from the chocolate shop jumped in to help - so, they do try. I didn't feel the need to be an ass of a customer and demand service. Amazingly, with that attitude, I got good and quick service and made it to my flight with plenty of time to spare. I got my usual hot chocolate. A cheese quiche, a spinach and bacon quiche, a slice of truffle cake, and a cream tart (like Portuguese egg tarts aka pasteis). Good filling breakfast! Mmmm mmmm... Here's a tip: if you only have an hour or less before your flight then, don't dine here. Just grab something quick to eat and get some chocolates. Save yourself the hassle, and spare the staff the aggravation from dealing with an asshat.
They are the oldest chocolatier in Switzerland and they have many locations. Their chocolate is not cheap compare to Lindt but the quality is superb. For a small box of chocolate in a tin can, I paid around 30 chf. My husband is normally not a chocolate or sweet fan and he really enjoyed these.
We had approximately a five hour layover in Zurich and this was the first stop after we arrived from Las Vegas. One of my traveling companions had one of each flavor of macaron and some other pastries--in other words a right proper breakfast-- and I had a Café Americano. Service was a bit lacking. We got menus quickly but then he seemed to get lost with other customers.
I purposely came to the airport early so I can indulge in Sprungli. I figured I was already broke from my trip and when the heck am I ever going to be in Zurich again? I handed her my credit card and basically said, "swipe it" without batting an eyelash. In my mind these questions were racing at the speed of light: Did I just pay 40CHF for 16 macarons? (why, yes I did!) Did I eat majority of them before 9am in the morning? (they were tiny!) Is that guy giving me weird looks as I lick the last crumbs from my fingers? (yup. STARING actually) Am I going to sh*t rainbows later in the toilet? (quite possible ...) Did I JUST forget to buy an extra box for my (hopefully) future mom in law?! (arrrghhh.. have to go back!) ... and made it on time to catch my flight. The sugar rush helped.
We just stopped here cause our friend was buying some macaroons, first of all it is a superbly place with all kinda of sweets chocolate, cookies, cakes sandwiches you name it they have if. Service was good, as they do have tons of employees and they did seemed pretty helpful, place is clean but I honestly think a bit on the pricey side. I bake so I know costs, but then again they smacking right in center of town and on prime street corner. Hope I get a chance to stop by get some treats to take back home!!
Items Selected: Luxemburgerli - Strawberry Cheesecake, Champagne, Champagne Deluxe, Lemon, Bourbon Vanilla, Himbeer, Chocolate, Maracuja Chocolate, Caramel Fleur de Sel, Mocha, Hazelnut Almond Croissant Chocolate Truffle Cake Bourbon Vanilla Mille Feuille Amaretti Cookie - Almond Meringue, Kirsch Mousse, Grand Cru Chocolate Maracaibo 65% Fig Cookie Truffles - White Chocolate 24%, Dark Chocolate 72%, Caramel Fleur de Sel, Gianduia, Pistacchio, Hazelnut, Almond Butter Founded in 1836 and since becoming Switzerland's preeminent Patisserie, it was a 5+ hour layover at Zurich airport that prompted a visit to Confiserie Sprungli, now offering a full-service restaurant on the 1st Level of A/B Terminal with several more storefronts and kiosks laid out around the ground floor where they offer mostly just Chocolates and their signature Luxemburgerli. Opened in the early 2010s as a supplement to in-terminal dining that otherwise seems to focus on quick-bites or market-style fare, Sprungli Café is laid out as a lengthily strip en route from arrivals to connecting services and presented in a casual setting overlooking the tarmac with a short walk to gates the service nonetheless is one of pure professionalism, the fact that they were sold out of signature Museli by 13h00 stated matter-of-factually, thus leading to a pastry focused experience plus a cringe-worthy 5.50 Swiss Francs for a small cup of Coffee. Certainly a pricy place, though really no different from Laduree or many of the most storied houses in Europe, it was within ten minutes of ordering that three pastries joined an already-in-progress tasting of the bite-size Cookies sold by weight in the store that the Sprungli experience got underway; each Macaron impressive by way of its flavor profile though the texture is somewhat different from the classic French version as the shell itself seems more "buoyant" or airy with a mouthfeel that starts of slightly chewy before dissolving quite quickly. Most impressed by the true-to-its-word Champagne flavored Luxemburgerli, though the Salty Caramel and Vanilla also fared well, Sprungli's Almond Croissant next represented the last of that morning's pastries with an atypical crunchy horn modestly laminated and stuffed with pure nut filling, the two slices of cake likely a better representation of what the Confiserie does best as both were elegantly presented with rich, natural flavors in several layers of contrasting consistency. Saving a few more treats for later, the Fig Cookie certainly not to be confused with a "newton" as golden dough and sticky-sweet filling made adept dance partners in a square sizable enough to be shared, a bag of three Amaretti Cookies surprisingly proved to be the highlight of the morning as the Almond Meringue shell gave way to wispy Kirsch Mousse atop a base dipped in good Chocolate, the 65% Cocoa base used to form the bulk of Sprungli's Truffles and Praline, of which the Pistachio and Almond were both exquisite.
Great: decadent desserts. Almost every variety. Do get the chocolate mousse with alcohol. It is absolutely divine!! Bad: a bit pricey but I am told Switzerland is pricey. Small pastries run in the range of 7.50€/ each and upwards. Macaroons are super expensive as well. Around 22€ for 12. Teas are a bit cheaper (4.80€ and upwards). Coffees and hot/cold chocolate are 7.50€ and upwards. hot chocolate is not as sweet as back in the US so if you like your hot chocolate sweeter then you may not like it at Sprungli.
A must try dessert and coffee bar when in Zurich Switzerland. Yes it is pricey but you come here for experience what Zurich best has to offer, a stellar food that match the service. It satisfies your sweet cravings as the desserts and chocolates are one of the best in the world. This establishment is very popular among local and tourist alike. Even if you don't have a high end taste, try one of their truffles and you will be head over heels. This Zurich establishment is equivalent to Laduree of Paris.
The legendary Sprüngli café restaurant that first opened on the Marketgasse in Zürich back in 1836, featuring incredible chocolate, now has a beautiful outpost at Zürich ZRH airport. On Level 2 there is an open restaurant with a full menu: breakfast, salads, champagne and including their famous chocolate cake. Chic design in sleek black and dark wood tones, with a great view of all the planes taking off. Also check out the boutique with its gorgeous gift boxes, delicate chocolates and macarons. Efficient but hurried service, as it is in Zürich airport. read more

Great Sprungli Cafe that has tables circled around a barista bar. The waitresses are a bit hurried, but kind. Cappuccinos are milky and if you need caffeine black, get an espresso instead. It is served with a side chocolate. Review: 4 read more

I found this to be a great dessert stop during my layover in Zurich. The chocolates and macarons are of high quality, though they are quite expensive, especially if you're translating dollars into Francs. Luckily they take credit cards. It's a well worth it splurge, especially if you're never had Sprungli before! The pistachio and salted caramel small macarons were delicious. The entire box was gone before I boarded my next flight. read more
