Yelp Review 2026 #77:…read more Honold Tea Room was closed for renovations on my recent trip to Zürich. The tea room is old but has character. Right now, they have a temporary stall a few feet away from the tea room. Find a yellow stall at the corner of Oetenbachgasse and Bahnhofstrasse. This temporary location is of course small and there are about only 3 small tables a coupld of chairs. The menu is limited to their most popular items: latte, hot chocolate, matcha, frappe, ice cream, sorbet, fruit tart, chocolate mousse, cake slices, sandwiches, and pastries. They have a dessert called Teddy which is like a mousse shaped like a Teddy bear - the flavor changes every season. I didn't like the flavor available (citron) so, I didn't get one. Take note: the price of their food is higher for dine-in vs to-go. Latte Macchiato: A nice thick foam and a strong taste of espresso. They have lactose-free milk which is nice. 4/5 Hot Chocolate: Züri Oberland Milch mit hauseigener Couverture Grand Cru. Using only local milk and their grand cru chocolate, it's a good cup of hot chocolate. 4/5 Service is friendly, quick and efficient.

Another great chocolatier in Zurich! I think this was stop #2 in my self guided chocolate walking…read moretour. Haha yep, I most certainly went on a walking tour of Zurich's chocolatiers. Honold is excellent and if I were to return in the future, I'd skip Bachmann but would go back to Honold.

Yelp Review 2026 #65:…read more After visiting the museum and shop side of Lindt Home of Chocolate, I wanted to get some dessert from the cafe. They have cakes and ice cream with chocolate of course - cookies, brownies tarts, chocolate mousse, waffle pops, chocolate fondue, and pain au chocolat. You can get coffee, hot chocolate, Rivella (a popular Swiss soda), juice, water, etc. if you want something savory, they have pretzels, quiche, rosti, sandwiches, and croissants. I picked the Dubai chocolate ice cream. The soft serve ice cream is white chocolate and I wish it was milk or dark chocolate instead. It's drizzled with pistachio cream, topped with chopped pistachios and kataifi, a piece of Dubai chocolate on the side of the ice cream. I had a big breakfast and so that's all I could eat. I toured the museum at 10am. I was at the cafe by 11am and there wasn't a lot of people yet. I'd imagine it gets busier around 11:30 and later when everyone's done with the museum and ready for lunch. The cafe is bright, spacious and clean. Service was good.

Of course the price of their chocolate is high, but definitely worth it. We tried at their café a mandarine mousse in a dark chocolate cup and a raspberry cake, both were succulent! Highly recommended

A MUST for chocolate lovers! I'd say it was a more elevated experience at this House of Läderach…read moreeven though we didn't get to do the tour. We arrived closer to 5pm. We took advantage of the beautiful weather that day and saved this experience for last as we were heading back to Lucerne. There was a huge tour group just off the bus. Unfortunately, they couldn't accept 2 more people with the time alotted (totally understandable). Our tour guide pulled a rabbit out of his hat once again to save the day. He had a promotional ticket for a complimentary chocolate making experience. It was the best surprise ever! This guy always has a Plan B. That plan went into action almost immediately. Honestly, it was an experience that I didn't think we would have time for during the trip. Our guide proved us wrong. I was given a ticket to redeem it for a chocolate bar of my choice (white, milk, or dark chocolate) as well as the shape of the bar (Switzerland, heart, or square chocolate mold). The kind lady at the Live Production area explained the process and told me to maximize the toppings on the table to create a work of art. I did just that. Lol! Okay, it was more of a hot mess than a work of art. I decided to name it the "Terrain of Switzerland" because it was more of a textural look. It was a last minute decision to add the rice crispies later after placing it on the cooling conveyor belt to set the chocolate. They ended up being the little cows on the mountainous terrain of chocolate. Haha! It was SO MUCH FUN!! My husband took pictures of me assembling it. He really got into it. Our guide was laughing at my artwork, and totally with reason. It ended up being a highlight of our trip. The wrapping of the chocolate and making a bow was a little difficult for me. I'm not very crafty, but it worked out quite well. After this awesome experience, we took our time walking through the factory shop. There were so many great deals. I immediately went to the bags of frischschoggi. They taste the same as what you would get for the higher price only these were misshapen chocolate pieces. It was an assortment of all different flavors. Everyone was looking for bags with the most variety of flavors. I also ended up purchasing the Dubai Dark Chocolate Frischschoggi. Delicious!! It's my favorite so far. They also had a milk chocolate version. You'll also get a sample of chocolate truffles in your bag to take home with you. There are also samples provided as you enter the store. The pumpkin spice one was actually quite delicious. Yum! This was absolutely the best Läderach experience we encountered. We visited many storefronts, but the one in Bilten was the cherry on top. There's a café as well, and everything is just beautifully presented. Läderach is known in Switzerland for its quality ingredients. Just ask around, and you'll see. Make that stop in Bilten. It's so very worth a special trip as a chocolate lover. It's chocolate heaven, indeed!

The shop is also very nice to get bags of chocolate brittle or mix and match ones you might need to buy in a bag. We prefer to customize these chocolates and make a special selection.

I dread the neighboring HB Migros, but this Stocker manages to stay cool and uncrowded, even during busy times. The breads are excellent (especially the St. Galler), but I'm less convinced of the pastries (plum tarts are great, but some others are too doughy) and Birchermüesli (too much cream for my taste). Definitely the best bread to be had on the way home on Sunday.

Yelp Review 2026 #52:…read more Jacot easily made it to my top 5 chocolatier. Their cocoa beans are sourced from South America and Madagascar. Their milk, cream and butter from Noiraigue, Switzerland. Their shops are not widely common. With only 1 shop in Zurich, 1 shop in Lausanne, 1 shop in Geneva that has their products, and 3 other shops in different parts of Switzerland. Every country I visit, I make it a point to try the local chocolate. So far, my favorite has been and still is Swiss chocolates. My most recent visit to Switzerland was basically a chocolate tour in search of the best (in my opinion) chocolate in each canton. Jacot, just like most places in Switzerland, is closed on Sundays. So, I had to come back the next day to actually try their chocolate. It's a small shop with only 1 employee. I was the only customer when I went to their shop after visiting Fraumünster a few feet away. They have bars of milk chocolate and ranges of dark chocolate, truffles, pralines and bon bons. They also have chocolate, and nut spreads. They have free samples. What caught my attention was their Absinthe bon bon - I almost got it but i remembered I'm not a fan of Absinthe and I don't think any amount of the best chocolate can make Absinthe taste better. Zurich being my first stop of my Swiss tour and knowing there's a Jacot in Lausanne towards the end of my trip, I decided to get 1-2 truffles, bon bons and pralines in calamansi, nougatine, pistachio marzipan, malakoff, crunchy, and noisella. You buy them by the weight. The Zürich shop is bigger and has more stuff compared to the Lausanne shop. I was eating my purchase on a train to the next city and I had immediate regret for only getting 2 of the calamansi bon bons! It was soooo good. The calamansi flavor was very pronounced.
