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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Yelp Review 2026 #109:…read more Max Chocolatier is one of my favorites. They started here in Luzern so, I had to grab more chocolates here. This is a much bigger store than the one in Zurich. They have two employees here and they both will take their time for each customer in the store. Clearly, they want everyone to have the best and most focused experience while in the store and I appreciate that so much. It shows how much they care about the product even though the product speak for themselves. They'll give you free samples of whatever you want to try. They recommended their mate (South. American drink) truffle which I would not try on my own and I'm glad they did because I absolutely loved it and bought some. I had a clear plan on what I want to get from here: a box of passionfruit dragee, a box of pralines and a few truffles. I like how they put the truffles in a box. Most chocolatiers don't have boxes for when you pick your own truffles. You can pick a message tag for your chocolate boxes. There's many to choose from - in English, German and French. Since all the boxes I bought are for me and my sister, I picked message tags that resonated with me such as "I love dich". They also have blank tags if you want to write your own message. They have a coffee kiosk on front but it closes earlier than the store. They have espresso, cortado, cappuccino, latte, matcha, hot chocolate, etc. If you have time and want to create your own chocolate bar, go to their studio across the lake. You have to book your appointment though and prepay.
