Yelp Review 2026 #161:
There are only 6 Jacot chocolate shops in Switzerland: Zürich, Lausanne and 4 other places. I first had their chocolates in Zürich so, I made sure I grab some more when I got to Lausanne. It's a few minutes away from Place de la Palud and Lausanne Cathedral in an area with lots of nice shops, cafes and restaurants. It's a very busy and crowded area.
The lady behind the counter was attentive and friendly. She was giving the customers she's helping where they're from so she can connect with them. As she did with us and the people in front of us in line. She was giving us free samples and a bag of free chocolates after buying a lot of chocolates.
The store was out of boxes so, you have to get the pre-selected boxes from the shelves. If you want specific truffles, she'll put them in a paper bag. I got multiple truffles: Maracaibo, pistachio, cafe, centenaire, tea time, milk chocolate and the heart shaped truffles (I can't remember what kind it was). They have Absinthe truffles that I didn't get to try in Zürich that I was still hesitant to try in Lausanne.
They have chocolate bars from different cacao sources from Dominican Republic, South America, and Africa. Aside from chocolates, they also have fruit jellies. read more
