During the holiday market this place was busy. So busy I didn't actually get anything. I also would…read morehave like to understand the pricing for the chocolate sheets. A sheet by itself would have been nice but I didn't have faith it would make it home. I did buy some from the airport store in Zurich - there are several. There was no pricing there either. 5 different samples for the family to enjoy. We had milk chocolate, dark chocolate, espresso macchiato, confetti (with mini m&m like candies), and - my favorite - caramel with sea salt. It was pricey but good.

Amazing and expensive. Worth it…read more Get the mousse treats--they are remarkable, light and fluffy. The selection classic is a good gift.

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!

We met the in-laws who just happened to also be in Zurich at the same time as us for sweets at…read moreSprüngli. 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.

When first passing I thought this was only a chocolate pastry shop, but then realised it has a…read morehidden tea room in the very back. You have to fight your way through the narrow space between the two sections of the store to reach the thick cloth drapes that divide the store from the tea room. You will then find yourself transported to a Victorian red plush styled room with several tables. Hopefully, there will be an empty table, or a short wait for a table, and then you seat yourself, and someone will come to help you take your drink order. You will need to purchase any pastry or chocolate separately in the shop and take it back with you to the table. The chocolate is on one side and the pastries are all located on the opposite side of the store. Everything looked so amazing and the store was dominated by a variety of chocolate bunnies all wrapped up and ready to be eaten for the Easter weekend. The place was crazy busy, but I waited my turn, and the lady was very nice to explain all the different types of chocolate. I selected several chocolates to share with my husband and returned to the table. My husband had a hot chocolate, and I had a speciality coffee drink. The drinks were perfect, and the chocolates very scrumptious. I especially liked the cognac and raisin filled chocolate. I wish I could have relaxed and enjoyed the wonderful ambiance of the space, but it was just to busy and hectic to really do so. There was pressure to get up and let the next person in line have our seat. Tip: be sure to pay your drink order in the café and not the shop. The service in the café wasn't the best as there wasn't enough people to keep up with everyone. So we didn't know, and the lady in the shop bit our heads off for assuming incorrectly. They should mention this upfront.

What an experience!

Tasting started with a liquid cacao fruit juice, served cold in a little bottle, which was refreshing. We tasted a chocolate version from 1800s before the introduction of the smoothing mechanism and after....Amazing. Additionally, we enjoyed cocoa nibs, melted chocolate, chunks of chocolate infused with fruit and aromatic essences, iconic round truffles, and one final square of chocolate. Our guide was informative, funny, energetic, and used props to introduce topics and show and tell. The factory is sleek, clean, tidy, and welcoming.

So many flavors to choose from like tiramisu, champagne, Sakura and more! It was cool being able to see the large chocolate fountain in the lobby! The only downside is how incredibly touristy and busy the place was which was to be expected however it is not a fun shopping experience when you're standing shoulder to shoulder to other customers.

Yelp Review 2026 #96:…read more I went to Laderach in different cities everyday while I was in Switzerland. This location is in Luzern Bahnhof and it's actually better than the location in Zürich Bahnhof. They have more selections here. There were two Frisch schoggi kinds I was trying to get but didn't find while in Zürich: Dubai chocolate, and vegan cashew. My favorite Frisch schoggi slabs I get all the time are vegan cashew (tastes and melts just like regular chocolate), hazelnut, and cornflakes. Add their Dubai chocolate to that list - you won't find it at all Laderach locations though. They have limited/ seasonal Frisch schoggi. In May, they had banana split. It's delicious so, I got a slab of that too. I got some truffles and mini mousses. I grabbed individually-wrapped chocolates for my friends. On my first day in Luzern, I went to this location twice. I first came here in the morning before going to the hotel. I was minding my own business taking pictures of the chocolates. The employee behind the counter was like "don't a picture of me". Girl, I have no reason to take your picture! I left. I came back in the afternoon for my chocolate break and that employee wasn't there anymore. I took pictures and the afternoon shift employee wasn't giving me samples left and right and was super nice and helpful. So, I bought chocolates from her.

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!

A very classy restaurant with brilliant food and good service…read more I visited St Gallen to see the famous Abbey (well worth the visit!) and was sent to Segreto when I asked where the best restaurant was. Segreto is Italian for "secret" I was told; but if it is, then it shouldn't be! The restaurant isn't in the town, but a short drive away. It is a truly idylic environment and the restaurant seems to organically grow from the formal dining room into a conservatory-style outside and then a stylish garden area. There is also a big outside casual dining area, though I'm not sure if that is part of the restaurant or not. The food is exquisite and clearly cooked by a deft and delicate hand in the kitchen. With such cuisine, I often find stuffy service, but not here where it is confident and professional. The wine list is very extensive and it is easy to find a complimentary wine. My overall thoughts are that this is a fantastic restaurant. I will certainly add this to my list of "must go" places, when I return to the St Gallen area.

This is clearly the best Italian / mediterranean restaurant you can find not just in St. Gallen but…read morein all the Bodensee - region . The amazing detail is that the chef is a German : Martin Benninger. So how does it comes that a German can cook Italian specialities from agnolotti , guancia Di Vitello , carpaccio di spigola so heavenly (and not just Italian food , try the fois gras...) ? It happens that he cooked for more then 2 years for Heinz Beck in Rome , a legend there with 3 stars Michelin. If Martin continues to cook like this Its likely he will get his Michelin stars soon too. Another detail I like about this restaurant is that it has one of the best wine lists in Switzerland to really affordable prices. Some of the wines cannot be found cheaper if bought in a store.
