We first experienced Laderach when we were in Boston in 2021. Ever since then, we have been fans and are happy that we have many stores to choose from in CA! I happened to be with my sister when we visited this location. We ended up getting more than we anticipated. Isn't that always how it goes??? read more

Ok WHEN I TELL YOU that this is THE premium chocolate experience you will get in this area, you gotta believe me! (So we actually loved our experience last time we promised to leave a review but totally forgot the name of the kind soul that helped us and been meaning to go back to get her name) I had visited a few times before, but didn't feel welcomed or felt like I had to chase someone down to sheepishly ask for a single sample which they begrudgingly handed over while I was the only one in the store. So it was hard to want to buy anything. That is, before Jessica. She was so knowledgeable and friendly, answering all our questions and offering suggestions to help us find our one true (chocolate) love. We bid adieu and walked out with some purchases of chocolate hopefully to last us a while for the sake of our wallets. So months later, finally, we went back hoping she was there and trying to remember what we liked last time (raspberry blackberry white chocolate and the blackberry dark chocolate for future reference) and would you know it, freaking Jessica chimes in from the side "Yeah last time you guys liked that one." Like wait, excuse me? You see how many people a day, a week, a month, and you remember not only our faces but also what we liked months later?? Floored. FLOORED. Of course, Jessica and the amazing team on Friday night 15 minutes before closing were amazing and happily let us try a few different things so we knew exactly what we wanted to get. We decided on the previous favorites plus the new limited edition hazelnut dark chocolate and the 90% cacao dark chocolate from India. So go check out this location at the Cerritos Mall! You're in for not only a sweet treat, but a sweet connection with people who truly care about the guest experience. read more

3/28/26 Shout out to Jessica, who was very accommodating and welcoming to their delightful shop. I was greeted by a wonderful lady at the Front, who was handing out samples. It was milk chocolate with hazelnuts that was simply decadent and delicious, but I must have it in dark chocolate.. Everything in its place boxes and boxes of delectable chocolates abound this chocolatier. What I love most about it is the free samples, of course, it is like Costco, but in chocolate for me. I did get a small block of the dark chocolate with hazelnut and tried about three more of their beautifully handcrafted chocolate bites, they do not skimp. Jessica was patient while I asked questions which she happily answered and tried one of the usual w/ ganache that was OK so I chose some that had some nuts in it. All in all this was a very delightful experience and would joyfully return but with small hesitation because it's just devilishly good & sinful! The chocolates were placed in a glass case the same way precious stones & gems are displayed. Simply fabulous. Had a wonderful time here. Topnotch! read more

This is a very strange mall in Cerritos and Laderach is extremely high end for this area. I'm guessing the rent is cheaper than South coast plaza lol I'm completely OBSESSED with the pistachio bark and want to buy more but I don't trust myself so I just had a few samples today. 5 stars for the kind employees who know they will make a sale giving out samples. They are so smart to do the sample strategy! read more

Chocolate in a huge variety of combinations of nuts, fruit, cocoa nibs, white chocolate, dark and milk chocolate- best sellers are the very large bars that they break off in as much or as little as you want. Also shaped bonbons in ready to go boxes, chocolate truffle all looked very interesting and presented in various sized boxes. Free bites to taste on offer, we were able to sample at least 6 kinds before settling on a few , total under $20 for close to about 1/3 pound. Best consumed within days of purchase- I forgot I had a little holiday package of assorted ones and they had started to taste stale or crumbly. Still ate them haha. read more

I love Laderach and always have to stop by whenever I see a location. This one is great, as the staff is nice and helpful. I like how they have separate lines and registers for the big pieces of chocolate vs. the truffles, which makes for a more expeditious visit! read more

My favorite chocolate at the moment, everything I tasted here was delicious! You can tell it's premium. The lady was so nice that she let me taste like 6 different pieces, couldn't make up my mind so I ended up spending close to $40. I purchased mostly the dark chocolate since that's my love, but bought white chocolate too with nuts and that was super delish as well! If you like chocolate, you must try this place. I'm obsessed. It's downstairs inside the Cerritos mall. read more

I've been a customer of this location for some time, but my recent experience was very disappointing. I visited with my son, and when we approached for a sample, the young woman assisting had a noticeably rude and dismissive attitude. I politely pointed to a hazelnut chocolate because I wanted my son to try that specific flavor. Instead of accommodating a simple request, she told me, "You have to take the one I give you," and added that if I didn't want it, I could throw it away in the trash inside. The tone and delivery were completely unnecessary and unprofessional. I actually walked toward the trash to throw it away, but decided it wasn't even worth continuing the interaction and just left the store altogether. If the store reviews their cameras, they'll clearly see the interaction. Customer service should match the quality and reputation of the brand, and unfortunately, this experience fell far short. I hope management addresses this, because it reflects poorly on an otherwise well-known chocolatier. read more

Läderach chocolatier suisse - So much goodies! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Cerritos, California

I used to manage retail stores and what I love more than anything is how employees react in the middle of chaos. Rarely this place is packed, but this afternoon it was and one of their computers was down and one of the customers was having some issues with a gift card. I'm assuming a supervisor was immediately greeting every single person who was walking through the door and immediately apologizing that it will just be a second before we receive a delicious sample and before they get to us. While she was resetting her computer she continued to thank us for being patient while the other staff were handling other customers at the register. Every single person on the floor was polite and accommodating, offering samples and thinking us for waiting and for being patient. Brandon was definitely a standout and he is beyond amazing. I want to applaud this lady who was in charge of the floor and just the whole operation. read more

2025 is my year of discovery of Läderach chocolate. With my first introduction at the Costa Mesa store. A few months later while at the Cerritos Mall getting something at the Apple Store, I saw there was a Läderach location here. My husband and I were lucky in that it wasn't busy. The Costa Mesa store had a frenzied line in the store, as free tastes were offered. That experience was like a TSA line at Los Angeles International Airport. I was unable to look at anything and grabbed a sampler stick box because people were jammed in that location. In Cerritos my experience was much more positive, and I told the manager right away. Julie, the store manager , shared the story of this Swiss chocolate delivered fresh on site from the company in pars, slabs, boxes of truffles, pralines, and sticks. If you've yet to go, the window has slabs of flavored chocolate that staff break pieces off from and sell. So you are purchasing chocolate bark. Variety packs are sold in sticks ( think pocky stick size) and squares( saline sized). It's a fun way to enjoy chocolate. There are traditional bon bons and cute candy forms. I just went back to the Cerritos location and there was Julie! For Christmas this year their advent calendar "house" was sold out immediately. Läderach offer advent calendars in a few options : noir ( dark chocolate), praline, kids with more conservative flavors and beautiful shapes, and a traditional advent calendar. I picked the praline calendar for my parents and my best friend, a "kids" advent and regular advent calendar for myself. They have so many options. They are ranging in price from $75-$42 dollars. They have a mini advent calendar with smaller candies for slightly less. Really a wonderful chocolate choice for enjoying with coffee or after dinner. The chocolate slabs are weighed by the pound. The reason for the lines is the tradition for the store to cut a piece to sample of something that catches your eye. Just a taste and I was ready to commit. Thank you Julie, for your warmth and giving me a relaxed in shopping at your Cerritos store. read more

There should be a system when you're serving the customers. I got looked at while waiting to be next. Another family bounce in front I didn't say anything. A second family that is near the entrance gets served. I didn't hesitate to make eye contact with the worker as I left disappointed. It's a small shop, I get it but you knew exactly what hi was next. Ageism because I look young? Get out of here read more

I don't eat chocolates often. Mainly because they make my skin breakout in a matter of hours. It's a shame cause I really love chocolates! This is a cute little store with a great selection of chocolates. I decided to get two small boxes and they tasted very good! The staff were friendly and the store was very organized. I will absolutely enjoy my delicious chocolates as rare treats! read more

This exquisite, high-quality chocolate shop is located in the Los Cerritos Center. It's a small shop with a display case full of individual imported Swiss chocolates as well as pre-packaged gift boxes. The congenial gentleman who helped me was very informative about the various chocolates and offered a sample of a piece of a "chocolate bark" that had some caramel-covered almonds within it. I eventually chose 6 pieces of chocolate to purchase. Two truffles I chose really stood out, Cappuccino and Bailey's, both of which were exceptional. The Moccatine, with its luscious coffee truffle filling, was heavenly as was the raspberry heart which was bursting with flavor. I forget the name of the other two but they were equally amazing. These chocolates are gourmet and the prices reflect that so expect to pay way more than you do for a Hershey bar. read more

Anthony was there again assisted us last week! He's awesome as usual! Don't mind driving from Pasadena area!

Not even a chocolate person but every time I've had to gift someone who is, this is what I bring them. Yes it's pricey, but the quality is there and so is the service for the price I'm paying. Sadly this location lacks that. Service here is non existent. Everyone seems to hate their job, dismissive, rude, not even any proper greetings. A simple hello and thank you should be a given but nope, not here. No samples given here either. First and last time here, go to another location. read more

The chocolate is so good here! It's pricy but still worth it because it is not your typical chocolate. The chocolate is authentic switzerland based. Service was also amazing here as the person who helped us out was so knowledgeable. We bought four pieces of chocolate which was satisfying.. not overly sweet but savory. read more

I'm a longtime customer of Läderach and consistently go out of my way to shop here -- not only because the chocolate is exceptional, but because the customer service has always been warm and welcoming. The team, especially the older woman who works there, is usually so kind and genuinely makes the experience special. Today, however, was very disappointing. I stopped in to treat myself for Valentine's Day and was helped by a man named Brandon. From the start, his attitude felt dismissive and irritated, as if I was inconveniencing him. I asked to sample what appeared to be a new chocolate, and instead of simply clarifying, he corrected me twice in a condescending tone that made me feel uncomfortable and frankly embarrassed. This is not the level of service I've come to expect from Läderach. The brand represents quality and luxury -- and customer interaction is part of that experience. I hope management addresses this, as poor service can absolutely drive loyal customers away. Safe to say I will no longer go back there and will support another brand instead. read more

i always have a great experience when i visit, i love this place. all locations have exceptional customer service. the chocolate is 10000/10 but its the great employees that keep me coming back! today Kenrick helped me and recommended some really great new flavors i haven't tried. i ended up leaving with one of his recommendations!! 10/10 must try! i always get the milk chocolate with hazelnut it's my favorite! read more

This is what I look forward to when I go to the mall. This place is my favorite chocolate shop! I went in on a weekday which was great because it's always busy on weekends. Surprisingly, parking was hard to find. But I love how close it is to the entrance of the mall. The staff were so friendly!! I got samples of their best seller (milk chocolate with roasted hazelnut). I went to get dark chocolate bars for my overnight oats. It's by far the best dark chocolate I've had. I also got my friend some dark chocolate truffles and the lady was so helpful in helping me pick some out. I had such a fun conversation with her because we were talking about everything chocolate! She also had me sample one of her favorite truffles; she was so sweet! I also got 2 pieces of some of their many chocolate bricks (strawberry and coconut). I just pick the amount of money I want to spend on the chocolate pieces and they'll weight it accordingly, which is a plus! Will definitely come back to purchase some more truffles! read more

Läderach makes phenomenal Swiss chocolate -- fresh, rich, and dangerously easy to over-purchase. We happily walked out with about $200 worth of chocolates and gifts because, honestly, the product is flawless. A true 5-star chocolate experience. Now, the sampling situation at the entrance? That felt like I accidentally wandered into their "VIP Sample Distribution Policy," which no one told me about. I watched one guest receive what looked like a generous half-slab sample after speaking Spanish, while my family -- who was actually buying a mountain of chocolate -- got a piece so tiny I wondered if it was meant for tasting or dental flossing. Dry humor aside, the inconsistency was noticeable enough to be... well, memorable. No harm done, but it was one of those moments where you smile, nod, and think, "Ah, so this is the sample tier system." Still, the chocolate is exceptional and worth every penny. Just hoping the sampling can be a little more even-handed so everyone gets the same warm welcome. Chocolate: 5 stars. Sampling experience: a diplomatic 3 stars. We'll absolutely return -- with or without the sample. The chocolate speaks for itself. read more

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needed a gift featuring divine chocolate for a chocolate loving friend's birthed day. This was absolutely the best place! The chocolate is smooth and rich. No hint of bitterness. There is a white chocolate offering, which Is not usually something I enjoy, that is truly one of the best chocolates I have had. Filled with fruits and nuts the combination is something that will surprise your tastebuds. I would love to give this heavenly place 5 stars; however, the prices are quite high. So, save ($) and satisfy your chocolate needs here! The end. read more

Just discovered this place and I'm already hooked. I was introduced to plenty of their flavors but my favorite was the FrischSchoggi Strawberry-Curd White. Absolute heaven. I could eat these morning, noon and night. The lil surprise of the freeze-dried strawberries is absolute bliss. Addicted I is! =P Another winner was the hazelnut with the dark chocolate. I wanted to get them all but just stuck with the strawberry for now. I'm definitely going to take my family and friends here. So darn good. Sorry no photos. I inhaled it too fast lol. read more

Definitely a pricy yet delicious experience. I've never been into high end chocolates. Didn't really care for Godiva. Always just loved See's candy chocolates for its rich chocolate and traditional flavor options. Läderrach chocolate is produced is Switzerland and as a die hard See's candy fan, I can honestly say their chocolates are delicious. Not just the chocolates themselves, but also the flavor combinations that you may not be able to find at See's or other confectionary stores such as like raspberry, blackberry and pistachio. Sometimes they have samples available. read more

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon, and was greeted with delicious treats. I love trying all the bark samples, they are so good! It was a slow Tuesday in the store, but the employees were great at assisting the customers with friendly conversations and samples. I LOVE their chocolate barks. They are all so delicious and unique. My favorites are the: - Strawberry Crunch White Chocolate Bark (great taste and something lighter to eat if I am not in the mood for milk/dark chocolates) The dehydrated strawberry and crunchy pieces are super good. - Cornflake and Milk Chocolate Bark (for those who want a nice crunch with your milk chocolate). - Nut Trio Milk Chocolate Bark (candied hazelnuts, pistachio and slivered almonds all make this delicious bark yummy). - I am slowly loving the Raspberry Blackberry White Chocolate Bark, it is definitely growing on me. - The Milk Chocolate Salted Caramel is another bark that I am slowly loving. Took my friend here and we each both got 3 large pieces of bark, totaling to $45 and some change. It is not cheap, but if you have a little extra to splurge on chocolate, come here. In addition, we sampled all of the chocolate bark as we each couldn't decide which ones to buy. The customer service we received was excellent as we sampled all of the bark. They are my definite go-to chocolate bark shop to visit. Thank you Laderach Chocolatier Suisse! read more

I usually frequent See's Candies when I come to malls to buy chocolate for my mom but wanted to spoil her a little bit. Sure, prices are extremely high here but the quality makes up for it. Even with the high prices, you are able to sample anything you'd like. They charge an absurd amount by the pound but the best part is that you can request for any size. The price is somewhere between $55-60 per pound so definitely not for everyone. I got a tiny piece that came out to be $10 but it was the perfect size. No complaints here at all. Premium chocolate, premium prices, and stellar employees. read more

It was as smooth as chocolate and truffles can get. They did a fantastic job of shipping it with cold packets, a silver insulated pouch and silicone to keep it fresh and not melted. That really impressed me as well as the great quality of the chocolates. A bit pricy but worth a try. I'll order again. read more
