A mall is a mall is a mall, but not really. This lovely array of eateries, specialty shops, and…read morestores is lovely. We are not mall people, but this was a treat to see how malls differ in Switzerland from that in the USA. We were able to freely roam about the mall, taking in a beautiful assortment of stores, all displaying their goods in a tempting way. There was a national book fair going on so different areas of the mall were displaying books in interesting ways, all enticing in their own right. We were also able to inquire about railway options for our trip to Zermatt the next day, a helpful kiosk to offer advice and tickets if needed. We bought some nice items that are unique to Switzerland and found some wonderful books to bring back home.

When I step in here, it reminds me as if I am home in the US all of a sudden, so you know it's the real deal. There are tons of stores in here for shopping and also a good sized area for food with sushi, Thai, wraps, Italian, sandwiches and coffee. There are many various clothing and accessory shops, and even has an official Apple store here, which was quite useful for me! The bus that comes here runs often (94,787) to transfer to tram 9 and also there is a huge parking lot for those who drive; so it's quite easy to get to if your starting point is around the HB.

rarely write reviews, but my recent experience with IKEA Switzerland was so appalling that I feel…read morecompelled to warn others -- especially those paying for delivery and assembly. I placed an order worth almost CHF 2,000, including CHF 544 for professional delivery and assembly. What followed was a week-long chain of miscommunication, unfulfilled promises, and total disregard for the customer: * I was assured multiple times by IKEA staff that my delivery would happen in the afternoon -- a request they confirmed repeatedly. * Instead, the delivery team suddenly scheduled it for the morning without notice. * Then, on the rescheduled date, no one showed up at all -- no call, no cancellation, no explanation. * I had to sleep on the floor for several nights. Yes -- on the floor. * I rescheduled professional meetings, suffered physical back pain, and experienced immense stress -- all because of IKEA's failure to deliver a service I paid for. What makes it worse is the attitude: not

At first, I took a look at their cheapest pillow and blanket, which was crap for only CHF 5 each. So then I looked at the second cheapest line, and it was actually quite decent. So my end conclusion is that they have the cheapest products (made out of the cheapest materials) that are probably not worth getting, but the next in line is actually quite good quality and affordable. I also signed up for the IKEA Family card and got a free chocolate cake for my birthday. :) At the grocery section, I also picked up a fizzy pear drink with some alcohol in it, and it was quite delicious and also gave me a nice buzz. :)

I'm certain that I do not need to review this amazing store, but I will anyways, just for kicks…read more The displays are inviting, wanting you to shop for these attractively laid out items despite what your bank account tells you. High end merchandise, friendly staff, and ample areas to roam about as you take in the beauty of this store. We ended up in the area that sells food, wines, and cheeses. WOW is all that I can say. Each item seems as though it is was hand polished, set down with precision, only waiting for you to pick it up and place it in your basket. The cheese, chocolates, wines, all so spectacular in their own right. No on argues that this store is more expensive than others such as COOP, or Migros, but they are in different leagues. The wine department has a beautiful assortment of wines, liquors, and spirits with very thoughtful associates able to answer many questions. We enjoyed this very much. This store is designed for those who are able to spend their money without worrying about what the bill looks like. With that being said, we walked out without buying anything as we just started our day in Zurich. This store is mesmerizing, you must stop in and appreciate its beauty, even if you don't plan on buying anything. It is simply a treat.
