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!

Efficient but hurried service, as it is in Zürich airport.

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!

I followed my heart and it lead me to Laderach in Zurich , Switzerland. One of the best chocolates…read moreI have ever had. I was sooo excited with the tasting and getting my box filled with sweets that I forgot to ask for the lady's name, who helped us. She was the only one working at the time. She was friendly and super sweet to have us try multiple chocolates. We bought our chocolates on 09/09/25, between 4:00-5:00 pm. The store is filled with sweetness as soon as you entered which I enjoyed so much but probably not an everyday scent especially for the workers;) If you ever have a chance to visit Switzerland, make sure to look for Laderach. Thank you for reading my review. It's been awhile. Have a great Sunday evening.

I asked some good friends what they wanted from Switzerland. Guess what the number one answer was…read more Yep, that's right. Rolex. Uhm yeah. Nice try. So, I asked them what else. They said Tag Heuer. Did I say "good friends?" I meant former friends. Well, since I'm not Jeff Bezos, I decided to get them some nice chocolate. Let's face it, Switzerland makes some of the best chocolate around. I don't know if they have special beans or magical cows that produce special milk, but damn, it's like euphoria when eating a piece of Swiss chocolate. Ok, maybe I take my chocolate a little too serious, but most Swiss chocolate is really THAT good. Laderach is one of those places that really elevates it. While I have tried a few of their chocolate pieces, the real star is the FrischSchoggi. While in Bahnhofstrasse last year, I wasn't able to go to their main store (I went to Sprungli instead). However, I did go to this location in the airport. We loved it so much (we finished whatever we bought on the plane), we had to get more of the FrischSchoggi. This is high-quality chocolate, so you will pay good money for it. But, it's nothing different than some of the high end chocolatiers that you find in the US. The sheer selection of FrischSchoggi will blow your mind. I would say that they have 25+ varieties here. Don't afraid to ask for a sample or two (or 6 in my case). My favorite is the hazelnut (like a candied hazelnut), but I also like the Rocher (almonds) and also Raspberry-Blackberry, for a little bit of fruity contrast. It's also made with white chocolate. The service here is super-friendly. They speak English just fine, so they could help me with all the questions I had. Aside from the individual pieces they have and the big display case of FrischSchoggi, they do have pre-packaged gifts that you can quickly pick out and buy, if you are in a hurry. Even a sampler pack of the FrischSchoggi. Just the tip: This shop is before security. Make sure to plan it out. Last year, I almost went thru security first thinking that I could get that out of the way first. Good think I didn't.
