Sprüngli

Awesome Place… with delicious truffles and pralines and wonderful staff. They were so helpful, very nice and very patient. they wanted us to try their specialities without sounding too pushy. She recommended raspberry cheesecake macron which was out of the world.
I would definitely fly via this airport next time just to visit Sprungli!!!

I just don’t get it … like Janice from SF I knew they were overpriced and we were basically saying the heck with it as we didn’t want to take back too much foreign currency. But after having sampled all my various Swiss chocolates I don’t see why the sprungli truffle is so touted. It was 21chf for 10 truffles which I guess is what all high end chocolates run even in the US. So we have tried about 6 so far and of the 6 only 1 stood out but it was filled with a robitussin tasting liqueur… we both practically spit it out. Otherwise they all tasted too similar.
Stick with the hazelnut chocolate bars … you don’t even need to spring for lindt… coop will do just fine!
ps…I do wish I had tried the macaroons that looked so pretty…

I purposely came to the airport early so I can indulge in Sprungli.
I figured I was already broke from my trip and when the heck am I ever going to be in Zurich again?
I handed her my credit card and basically said, «swipe it» without batting an eyelash. In my mind these questions were racing at the speed of light:
Did I just pay 40CHF for 16 macarons? (why, yes I did!)
Did I eat majority of them before 9am in the morning? (they were tiny!)
Is that guy giving me weird looks as I lick the last crumbs from my fingers? (yup. STARING actually)
Am I going to sh*t rainbows later in the toilet? (quite possible …)
Did I JUST forget to buy an extra box for my (hopefully) future mom in law?! (arrrghhh. have to go back!)
… and made it on time to catch my flight.
The sugar rush helped.

Don’t mistake the star count for criticizing the quality of the product. Sprungli makes damn good truffles, and it’s not surprising that many people would go out of their way to eat here. That said, at some point, you have to accept that the price for a particular product is outrageous. Sprungli has found that point.
Paying 2x for a low cost good isn’t a big deal. Paying 5x and even 10x isn’t so bad either. But when you are reaching 40−60x, you have to start questioning your life choices.
Look, maybe somewhere there is an extremely fine toilet paper that brushes your asshole ever so gently to the point where it feels like butterflies will fly out of there instead of copious amounts of shit. But should you pay 60x for that product (actually, I just might so perhaps this was a terrible example)? It’s probably not the greatest compliment ever when I’m comparing your product to high end toilet paper, and that’s exactly why I can’t in good conscience give Sprungli more than 3 stars.
Still, if you are here and okay with splurging on chocolates, go right ahead because even Paul Pierce would be calling these the Truth.

Einer von mehreren Sprüngli Shops
Gut gelegen am Flughafen, gleich neben der Migros.
Die Sprüngli Schokolade dürfte wohl den meisten bekannt sein.
Der Shop bietet eine grosse Variation von verschiedensten Schokoladenkreationen wie zB SchokoTruffels.
Der Klassiker sind die Luxemburgerli mit diversen Aromen zum mitnehmen als Geschenk oder ideal zum Café.
über Mittage gibt es für die hungrigen auch Salate zum mitnehmen.
Mein Tipp sind aber die Cremeschnitten, welche wirklich excellent sind.

Great: decadent desserts. Almost every variety. Do get the chocolate mousse with alcohol. It is absolutely divine!
Bad: a bit pricey but I am told Switzerland is pricey. Small pastries run in the range of 7.50 €/​each and upwards. Macaroons are super expensive as well. Around 22 € for 12. Teas are a bit cheaper (4.80 € and upwards). Coffees and hot/​cold chocolate are 7.50 € and upwards.
hot chocolate is not as sweet as back in the US so if you like your hot chocolate sweeter then you may not like it at Sprungli.

I found this to be a great dessert stop during my layover in Zurich. The chocolates and macarons are of high quality, though they are quite expensive, especially if you’re translating dollars into Francs. Luckily they take credit cards. It’s a well worth it splurge, especially if you’re never had Sprungli before! The pistachio and salted caramel small macarons were delicious. The entire box was gone before I boarded my next flight.

A must try dessert and coffee bar when in Zurich Switzerland. Yes it is pricey but you come here for experience what Zurich best has to offer, a stellar food that match the service. It satisfies your sweet cravings as the desserts and chocolates are one of the best in the world. This establishment is very popular among local and tourist alike. Even if you don’t have a high end taste, try one of their truffles and you will be head over heels. This Zurich establishment is equivalent to Laduree of Paris.

Tolle Auswahl an Schokolade und Gebäck. Empfehlenswert sind die Luxemburgerli als Geschenk zum Mitnehmen.
