They had a decent selection of flavors, but I found the gelato to be a bit too rich, not light.

Yelp Review 2026 #91:…read more Heini Conditorei is Luzern's very own. I've loved all the conditoreis I've been to in Switzerland. But Heini did not deliver. I had breakfast here which was my first meal in Luzern and it was not a great start but it wasn't terrible either. There wasn't very many places open before 7am in the area. So, Heini it is! Many locals come here reading the newspaper while drinking coffee before going to work - like people still read actual newspaper! I love that for them! The ladies behind the counter were pretty friendly. After looking at the options behind the glass case, we made our selections. Shepherd's Pie: The crust was thick, dense and dry. It was more like a savory tart. I ate the middle part and left the pie crust part. 2/5 Chicken Champignon Pie: This was also mostly crust but it wasn't as hard and thick as the shepherd's pie. 3/5 Luzerner Festtagstorte/ Luzern Festive Cake: From their website: "A delicious chocolate biscuit, filled with a truffle cream, delicately sweet raspberry jam, and nougat flakes". It wasn't too sweet. The flavors were very mild. I didn't get much of a chocolate taste that I assumed this cake would have. 3/5 I should have just stayed with the quiche. I went to another Heini location to get chocolates. They have them here too but I didn't want to start my day lugging chocolates all the way to the end of the day.

Même la pizza scolaire aux États-Unis a meilleur goût que ça. Il y avait aussi beaucoup de mouches qui entouraient les gens pendant qu'ils mangeaient. La seule bonne chose était le serveur sympathique.

Not famished by any means, we were searching for a rich cup of thick hot chocolate that managed to allude us for our entire 3 days in Switzerland. We first caught an eye of the kitchen staff through a window from an adjoining street--from above and saw tomato sauce being prepared on an outside table. Very neat and clean looking. Even around 1:30 pm the cafe was full with those who appeared to be locals enjoying a variety of plate du jours. We were welcomed by a group of friendly wait staffers and given a bright window table. Once they understood that we were Americans and likely oblivious of how to speak French or German, they sent over a young lady who explained the menu options in superb English. We went for the chicken breast special which included a lovely and fresh garden salad to start, then the most tender and well prepared piece of chicken that could be imagined. Spinach pasta, Brussels sprouts and carrots accented the entrée. We finished with a take on Apple strudel that was creamy, full of vanilla, whipped cream, ice cream and with miniature diced apples. This was a gourmet caliber luncheon all for a stunningly low 28 francs. The Cappuccino was just as satisfying as that elusive cup of hot chocolate would have been. We were only saddened that they were not opened for Tuesday dinner or we would have been first in line for an encore meal that same evening. Five stars!
