Great service, brand new store, and comfy seating. Go HERE for a coffee break if you are stuck at the station for awhile!

When I say small, the salesperson behind the counter and my husband and I filled the space. When another patron stopped in, it got crowded. The display of chocolates was easy on the eyes and called to the chocolate lover within. The saleswoman introduced us to Lackerli, a kind of shortbread style cookie, but soft like a brownie. Only available in Basel, it make the trip back to the U.S.A. to be shared with friends. There was a great deal of construction going on right outside the door and we had to return because when we found it, it was closed, however, during the day we missed it the first time we walked past. So, just a little heads up.

It's very cool to watch the many steps some of their creations go through. I finally got to try Cremeschnitte. It's a yummy little dessert with layers of cream and pastry. I think as a joke they make the top a hard jelly layer so it's impossible to cut without smashing the whole thing to pieces. Oh well, it still tastes lovely. Anyway, the people working here were nice and the desserts were yummy. It's just a typical cafe but the thing on the TV was pretty awesome. I guess it makes me feel less guilty paying so much for small candies, the're all hand made with tender love and care, after all. Dieses Cafe ist hertzig und modern. Durch das Cafe ist ein Fernseher an den Wand. Ich habe das Fernseher angeshauen und ich habe uber der Schocolade gelearnt. Es war sehr interesant. Ich habe Cremeschnitte auch geschmekt und es war sehr gut!

I'm visiting from the USA, and the bakery is located in a touristy area (easy to find since it's the only pink building). I would post beautiful baked goods, but was told not to take pictures or video. Needless to say, I unfortunately did not experience or buy any of the goods because I didn't feel welcomed.

Quite small, so there is no café area, but the tartes and breads and cakes and biscuits are all delicious and typical of Switzerland. They also make Basler läckerli, a specialty in the area, which are small, rather hard spice biscuits with candied fruits. Try their plum tarte, it's a must if you stop in -- there are small versions and larger ones. Price is on the expensive side, but it's worth a splurge once in a while.

Conveniently positioned opposite Basel central train station and the airport shuttle bus stop.

The ice cream is simply not worth it with this kind of service.
