    Liked this factory/store. Had to try the cappuccino and latte and were good. Liked the little chocolate they gave us with the cappuccino. Their chocolate is a bit pricey but have good rich flavors. You can smell the chocolate right across the street 🥰

    Being a huge fan of Läderach, I had to visit on our way to Swiss. You can definitely do the chocolate factory tour. There is a pretty little cafe and you can buy chocolates here. Except a few selection, I would not say that the prices are cheap but a great experience. The parking is free.

    The best Swiss chocolate ❤ (and possible in the world) I literally visited Bilten to visit the House of Läderach. Nice tour, chocolate fountains, super store with some outlet priced chocolate. There is also a coffee shop. The experience in the chocolate atelier was very nice too. There is free parking, and they accept cash or cards.

    (Translated by Google) "aamächeligs" Läde (left) - unfortunately the prices are not as expected at the factory outlet, with the exception of some products that you cannot otherwise buy in the Läderach shops. Great logistics, large parking garage - 5 tills occupied! (Original) "aamächeligs" Läde(li) - leider sind die Preise nicht wie erwartet factoryoutletmässig, ausgenommen einige Produkte, die man in den Läderach-Shops sonst nicht kaufen kann. Superlogistik, grosses Parkhaus - 5 Kassen besetzt !

    A Schokolade Wunderland! A huge selection of Läderach chocolate with a truffle counter and window looking directly into the kitchens where they make everything right in front of you! Located in a quiet area too, so it’s not too crowded and you can take your time choosing. ☺️

    5 stars if you love chocolate. We booked a scavenger hunt for our kids and used the opportunity to try out their restaurant. Restaurant is good for coffee, gipfeli and chocolate based deserts. Service overall was very pleasant. People working there were all smiles and hospitable. We love the chocolate. Would recommend anyone to go there just for the experience.

    (Translated by Google) This time I only visited the shop and treated myself to a few delicacies at the beginning of the year. As always, the staff were courteous and gave good advice. A look into the factory let you experience the creation of individual chocolate lettering. Recommended at any time. (Original) Diesmal habe ich nur die Ladenräumlichkeiten besucht und mir ein paar Köstlichkeiten zum Jahresbeginn gegönnt. Die Mitarbeiter waren wie immer zuvorkommend und haben gut beraten. Ein Blick in die Manufaktur liess einem das Entstehen einer individuellen Schokoladenbeschriftung miterleben. Jederzeit zu empfehlen.

    Amazing tour within the Làderach factory, tasting chocolate at different stages of the preparation. The presentation is insightful and the employees are very friendly and give you a small gift of 3 truffles and a Làderach spoon. At the end of the trip, you'll get to do a nice stop by the three melting chocolate fountains, delicious! Highly recommended!

    Dear Edi, Thank you very much for extraordinary tour. It was great. Strongly recommended tours with Edyta. she explain so much, I did not know that listening and knowing more about chocolate can be so much fun. Thank you again. We will come back for another extraordinary Tour soon. Now we know more, we want to know even more...

    Thanks for a very interesting tour! It was one of the best experience. Testing and the opportunity to taste everything makes a really good job. We cannot forget about your crew that creates a magical atmosphere and is very professional (Edyta and Kevin - many thanks!). Really recommend place, and we will try to come more often to the cafeteria or shop as well :)

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately the café is closed due to Corona. But the shop is still open with the new adjusted opening times. A small teak away is available for drinks and snacks. Great, you don't have to go without good chocolate (Original) Leider das Café geschlossen wegen Corona. Aber der Laden ist mit neuen Angepassten Öffnungszeiten immer noch offen. Für Getränke und Imbiss steht ein kleiner Teak away zur Verfügung. Super man muss nicht auf gute Schokolade verzichten

    Stopped by after the hike for some sweets. Great place. We sat in the café. Cozy decorations and very friendly staffs. The signature chocolate mouse holds its name, fabulous! The friendly staff told us the museum ticket cost 5CHF and you could try lots of chocolate during the visit and get back the 5CHF as a voucher to shop. The shop itself has a special factory selling area, where you could buy at reduced price. Though quite a remote place to reach but definitely worth it.

  • 5/5 N S. 11 months ago on Google
    A lovely place to visit. Disappointed to discover the factory tour needed to be booked 2 weeks in advance online. So we settled for the museum ticket which was great. So much information presented in such a fun way and so many tastings on offer. Amazing friendly staff. It was a wonderful fun experience.

  • 5/5 Salome G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We were there with the kids (3 & 5) and experienced an entertaining, informative tour. The staff is extremely friendly and leads you through the building in groups of ten. After a 30-minute tour, on which you can follow the cocoa beans from the plantation to Switzerland, you can try out and taste yourself at various stations. It really wasn't boring for the kids. The highlight was the chocolate decorating, which you could pay for free with the badges (there are 5.- per person on it). (Original) Wir waren mit den Kids (3&5) da und erlebten einen kurzweiligen, informativen Rundgang. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und führt einen in 10er Gruppen durchs Gebäude. Nach 30min Tour, auf der man die Kakaobohnen von der Plantage bis in die Schweiz mitverfolgt, kann man an versch. Stationen sich selber noch schlaumachen und degustieren. Den Kids wars tatsächlich nicht langweilig. Highlight war das Schoggiverzieren, welche man mit den Badges (da sind 5.- pro Person darauf) dann auch sozusagen gratis bezahlen konnte.

    This Swiss chocolate brand is the best! All of the staff were friendly and accomodating. What a shame that this gem is not available elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Tobias S. 8 months ago on Google
    We had a very good time! The chocolate you get every now and than makes your sweet side come alive😅 The chocolate fountain ⛲️ 🍫 is such a nice treat. Loved it!!

  • 5/5 Stephen L. 7 months ago on Google
    We have this chocolate here in Sarasota and noticed its' unique and distinguishable quality compared to every other chocolate. When we realized their factory is in Zurich where we were vacationing, we had to do a tour. It was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Our host was so knowledgeable. We learned how and why Laderach is a cut above the rest. They spare no expense procuring the best ingredients from around the world to produce a premium product. We also got to taste as much freshly made chocolate as we wanted! If you are in the area, this tour is a must.

  • 5/5 Michał K. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent place for chocolate lovers, educational, modern and interactive tour with an amazing tour guide “Edyta” worth the visit for the best swiss chocolate! Very smilling and friendly team. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Siewling L. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a pleasant surprise! Such a big shop! Plenty of options. Even the factory outlet section was well stocked. There was also a factory tour! I love the cakes from the cafe which was very cosy and nicely decorated. I’ll definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Rosa B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing chocolate factory with tour option. The special tour allows you to access the upstairs museum which tells you about how the chocolate is made and where the company originated, you also get to eat the chocolate from a chocolate fountain so I would definitely recommend going on the tour! The shop and cafe is amazing, with lots of choice, you can even watch the chocolate being made within the store. My favourite Swiss chocolate ever!

  • 5/5 Safi abd r. 1 year ago on Google
    I bought chocolate with staff A and she didn't give me big bag for my oversize chocolate box. The other staff saw and offer me paper bag that suit the size. Very thoughtful 💗. Cafe is good and chocolate price is reasonable

  • 5/5 Ünsiye H. 1 year ago on Google
    Welcome to paradise :) Yummy chocolate and a nice atmosphere thanks to the staff. Welcome desk, shop, café all staff is very friendly. Nice to have a idea history of Läderach and produce processes. I didn’t know till I go that there are a lot of handmade processes on their chocolates.

  • 5/5 - 7 months ago on Google
    Läderach is my favorite chocolate so this review may be a little biased. We went to the house of Läderach to do the factory tour and eat at the cafe. The cafe was great and prepared us for the tour ahead. The tour was about 90min and took us through the history of Läderach, where they source the cocao, and how they produce their chocolate. At the end of the tour you get to sample the chocolate fountains which are to die for. I would visit just to do this. There is also a chocolate decorating experience where you can decorate your own chocolate as a sweet souvenir. Finally you end up in their largest store which has all of their "imperfect" chocolate sold at a huge discount. It's a great place to load up for the trip home.

  • 5/5 TiTi 3 years ago on Google
    I’m not objective about Laderach anymore... I fell in love with their chocolate and it’s the only brand I buy since a couple of years. It is a superior chocolate. The factory outlet is interesting for good deals. You can typically buy broken pieces of chocolate at half of the retail price 🎉 They also have a wide offering of regular products (at regular price)

  • 5/5 Alejandro M. 5 years ago on Google
    If you travel from Zurich you will need about an hour to get to the factory (including a couple train changes). The landscape is quite nice. You can have guided tours or -like in my case- just venture inside the museum/factory on my own for 10 Swiss Francs (you get a voucher for 5 Francs to use later on when you visit the shop). One can manage to understand the whole process from the cocoa bean to the chocolate bar without a guide if you ask me. You can taste some chocolate there too and the shop offers sooo many things. The price of this brand is above average but it's well worth it!

  • 5/5 Ralitsa 3 years ago on Google
    Chocolate is amazing and the service is great. You should absolutely try the fresh chocolate.

  • 5/5 Ralitsa K. 3 years ago on Google
    I am not fond of chocolate in general but for Läderach I make an exception! The house of Läderach has a lot to offer: the only outlet store, cafe where you can enjoy a crêpe with fresh Läderach chocolate and very good coffee or what I personally liked the most, the factory tour! The factory tour is a tour not only about how they make the chocolate but also about the family Läderach and the passion they have for chocolate ❤️ through the whole tour you have a feeling you entered a small family business where all the employees are part of the family and they are there to show you their house and their life! You will of course get a lot of chocolate and a spoon for chocolate degustation with the Läderach logo! I took my parents there as a Christmas present on 24th of December and they were literally like little kids full of joy! Hope you also have the chance to live this experience!
