The employees don't speak much English, but they were still very helpful! Ask for the "almond princess" aka chocolate covered almonds - which I think is their best seller as they have it in several size options (small bags, gift boxes). Yes - you'll think to yourself, why am I spending 10+ euros on almonds?? Trust me, it is a glorious experience!! I wish I brought more home. They seem to last quite a while so these would be great gifts to bring back (if you can resist eating them all yourself)! I also tried both milk and dark chocolate truffles which were so good. I only wish I visited Auer earlier on my trip so I could try more of their sweet treats!! Favorite chocolate shop ever!

I brought a big stack home of Madagascar 64%, Grand Cru Ecuador 70%, and Trinidad 80%. They were the most I've spent on a chocolate bar, but I wanted great Swiss chocolate. Next time I'm in Switzerland, I'm going to make one of my days a chocolate crawl.

You eat the stuff and you're like, "omg, I can die right now". The flavors melt in your mouth and leave very pleasant aftertaste that effervesces with you for several minutes afterwards... Even better, pair the chocolate with wine (or I brought some back to the U.S. and paired the chocolate with bourbon - and this was fantastic!) While we are on the subject, did I mention its organic, eco-friendly chocolate. No bad thAng, thAngs in it. All natural. No preservatives... all that stuff. They have a multitude of flavors that will knock your socks off (over 50 different ones): chocolates from all over the world tea flavored chocolate passion fruit chocolate basil saffron... see my pic. It doesn't get any better than this.

Though it…read morewas tempting to get everyone a bar of Migros budget chocolate, just to prove that even store-brand chocolate in Europe is vastly superior to US chocolate... I knew I needed to visit a legitimate chocolatier. Rohr came highly recommended as a Swiss brand, and the shop was convenient to the tram. It's a small shop (watch out if you're carrying a backpack!), but absolutely packed with gorgeous and fragrant confections. The window was filled with chocolate cauldrons and marzipan veggies, since we were visiting close to L'Escalade. I wanted to buy one so badly, but didn't think it'd make it home - it'd be a shame if I had to eat it myself. The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful to me and my companions. I largely picked out chocolate bars because they are easy to take home without damage (though be careful taking a big stack through security - they'll look like a bomb on X-ray!) and they had fabulous flavors - dark and milk chocolate with fillings like orange, pistachio, lemon, hazelnuts, etc. They also had some extra-special bars of fancy chocolate bars, some single origin and some with special fillings. I bought a big stack! I also had to buy a few special items. I picked out a little chocolate bear, who turned out to be filled with something creamy and crunchy and chocolatey. I got some of their praline bars. I picked up a jar of caramel sauce with fleur de sel (which I plan to put on crepes). And... I bought a chocolate trash can. Yes, a trash can - Rohr is known for its "Poubelles Genevoises," which are literally cast to look like Geneva's trash cans. They have them in small individual boxes, perfect for gift-giving. Per US standards, this is very expensive chocolate. In Switzerland... it seemed to be on the average-to-expensive side. But everything I've tried so far has been excellent. And when one of the international flight crew saw my little red bag in the airport, they said, "Oooh, Rohr? That's great chocolate!" That's how you know you've chosen well.

They're basically little tea sandwiches on white bread filled with crab salad and alfalfa sprouts. I'm probably an idiot because I ordered the "the froid citron" expecting something homemade but got a bottle of nestea. For 4.60 francs. *sigh* My husband's croque monsieur and salad were fairly tasty. They spoke a little English, which helped us with our rusty French. But all in all, I wouldn't walk a mile again to come back here for their lunch. But I'd consider it to try something from their wide array of desserts, purely based on looks.
