Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland

The champagne truffles that I purchased were stale. Not rich and creamy, just … a disappointment. The shopkeeper was not very inviting, nor was the display of chocolate. I will not be back.

It’s hard to not love anything swiss chocolate-​related. Came in right at closing and the guy at the counter was still super friendly and informative. Obviously, it was on the pricy side but that was expected and the champagne truffles are worthy of the price. Would visit again soon!

Teuscher provides intriguing chocolates. These are not for the palates of simpletons because their chocolate often feels in the background and the flavor is not super sweet. There are multiple tables while this location sits in a small plaza. A wide window shows potential customers what their options are.
I have been here twice so far. The first time involved a seemingly unreasonable flavor at three dollars. Later on, I had the dark chocolate champagne truffle at a smaller size for two dollars. It was fun to taste the mix featuring both chocolate and some surrounding flavors. There is better chocolate out there since the combinations don’t always taste the best, but they are interesting to say the least.
Teuscher is a good place to get chocolate.

Delicious chocolates! Wish we’d bought more before we left Portland. The owner (I’m assuming) was very informative & friendly. There was a good variety of chocolates to choose from too. We loved the hazelnut selections!

Wow, so glad I stopped in here for a little bit of Swiss chocolate! The champagne truffle and the raspberry truffle were incredible. I also managed to pick up some 99% dark chocolate, something I’ve never seen before (side note: wow, what a kick!). The woman at the counter was amazingly friendly and gave us a brief history of the shop and the family and their specialties. Would definitely return the next time I’m in Portland!

This chocolate shop is like HEAVEN!!! The store decorations are always beautiful, it’s usually flowers all around the store. I use to visit the shop in Philadelphia in the Bellevue hotel. The shops are on the smaller size but very inviting.
The staff is always friendly and offers suggestions and is happy to answer any questions. They always have such a beautiful display of chocolate in the case. My favorite are the chocolate bars with orange and anything that has marzipan in it, the champagne truffles are amazing, always pick a few truffles to take home.

We’d just visited the Belgian chocolate shop around the corner and thought we’d compare it to the Swiss. We enjoyed both while visiting their countries of origin, though usually preferred the former over the latter. This visit was not the exception both for quality and cost.
First, the four chocolates we bought all tasted a little on the stale side. I understand that they were probably not made in the shop but imported, and yet, the other import shop didn’t have that same less-​than-​fresh taste to them.
Finally, the Teuscher Chocolates are a lot more expensive for what you receive. It was $ 10.xx for 4 pieces vs the $ 7.xx we paid for 6 at the other spot.
Maybe we tried the wrong chocolates. It’s entirely possible. Even so, if you’re thinking of splurging on fabulous chocolate, I’d advise looking elsewhere.

Walked by here all the time for lunch and decided one day I will come in here. 2^nd anniversary coming up so I decided to drop in and take a look around and found some chocolates are prewrapped for special occasions and they also do custom wrappings as well. I took the one wrapped in the heart shape and it was the perfect one I was looking for 6 piece of chocolates wrapped in a cutesy little box and he also wrapped it up in strings. Also was told that the chocolates were rated number one last year and should be consumed in less than 10 days or the freshness wont be there. When I gave this to my sweetheart she loved it so much, so for valentines day or special occassions I recommend this place for your chocolates not your local freddys or safeway because this is truly from your heart to hers not on an economical standpoint. Trust me.

Sometimes, a lady needs a chocolate fix.
For second breakfast.
At 10 am.
I had intended to patronize another, closer shop but it was not open (despite Unilocal and the shop’s own website saying otherwise… their loss) and I ended up here because I would not, could not wait.
A lady wants what a lady wants, when she wants it.
Teuscher’s was open. The gentleman was very helpful and knowledgeable. The shop was super cute with brightly colored floral garland all over. They had many, many dark chocolate choices (no peanut butter, which is my favorite, but many, many other options.)
I purchased; Dark chocolate covered Macadamia nuts, orange peels, champagne truffles, dark chocolate ganache truffles and then to really drive it home, a solid chocolate doggie. I overdid it. I went back to the office and ate most of this. I am paying the price.
Be smart. Don’t do what I did (overdo it, I mean. Obviously you should go there. Now.)
In any event, the first thing that struck me was that this chocolate is of excellent quality. I may not know all of the fine points-​percentages and all that, but I know what is good and this, friends, is the good shit. With the higher percentages, I know that they can be gritty or bitter but these were heaven.
I will be back. On the expensive side, but I will not settle for crap when T’s is so close.
Faves were the Macadamia nuts. Oh, god.

Two words: Champagne Truffles!!!

Absolutely delicious! Friendly staff and lots of variety. We were happy with all of our selections and we’ll definitely be back for more (after we save up some money) ;-)

the husband found this place on Unilocal.i must say the lady behind the counter was super duper nice… she deserves a 5 star. the famous champagne truffle was way too sweet for my taste. he picked up several other kinds including several dark choc ones and they were still too sweet. i expected it to be pricey knowing it is swiss chocs. otherwise great place for those don’t mind expensive, sweet chocs.

Delicious. Decadent. Darling.
Try the champagne truffles. You will drool.

AMAZING.
This is the best chocolate you’ve ever had, I guarantee it.
And the owner, she was DELIGHTFUL. I loved talking with her about our shared love and devotion to their star, the milk champagne truffle. We agreed that being around them daily would be a way to challenge your will power beyond belief and how ‘just a little’ was the right amount.
The shop has other delights, and definitely follow your nose/​heart/​tastebuds’ yearnings but for the love of all that’s good in the world, DO NOT WALK OUT WITHOUT THE TRUFFLES.

Cute little shop in Downtown Portland that I found on the map of Downtown and noted it as a stopping point for myself (I LOVE CHOCOLATE)! The guy who assisted me (I couldn’t tell whether he was the owner) was very informative (he mentioned that fresh chocolate is shipped from Zurich every week) and helpful as I navigated their selections. I chose 3 pieces (believe me, I wanted to stock up on more, but I had an entire hot afternoon of walking around to do and was worried about how it would hold up in my purse). I ended up with a mint chocolate, a raspberry chocolate, and a fish-​shaped chocolate. Yummy stuff — Hard to go wrong with specialty chocolate! Walked out the door spending about $ 5. If it wasn’t so hot outside, I would have tried their hot chocolate, too!

It’s truffles, caramel, chocolate and goodies galore! I don’t have a sweet tooth but when I’m on vacation, I become a maniacal about eating poorly. So, I had to indulge.
We got a dozen or so truffles-​all different kinds and headed off to wander the city. I couldn’t tell which one was which-​they all made my mouth happy but being sans a sweet tooth, I could’ve been eating a Twix bar and been just as happy. The service was great and friendly but there was nothing hat blew my mind.

When I lived near Chicago IL we would always stop at Teuscher’s for the mouthgasms… errr i mean… champagne truffles.
Anyway, I was thrilled that Portland had a Teuschers. I’m not one of those girls who LOVES chocolate, I mean… I like it okay. But even for those of who who think «it’s just chocolate, what’s the big deal?» Live a little. Get a Champagne Truffle and let your life be changed. Seriously. Stop what you are doing right now. They’re worth it.

Usually I’m not one to spill the beans, but I’m going to let you in on a little secret told to me by my friend, the fantabulous Clover A.
Lean in close, put your ear near my lips, come on — that’s right.
THE CHAMPAGNE TRUFFLES ARE THE MOST AWESOME TRUFFLES YOU WILL EVER EAT!!!
Ahem. Sorry about that. I hope your ears aren’t ringing. But truffles this good deserve to have their praises sung from the rooftops.
They’re not cheap. Oh no, at about $ 2.50 apiece you may be thinking «Liz, I like truffles but no truffle is worth that!» You’re wrong. Completely and totally wrong. They really are just that good. The chocolate is smooth and richly-​flavored, the dust coating the outside is neither too much nor too little. Each one creates a small explosion of flavor in your mouth. My waistline is thankful that the nearest shop is about 175 miles away, although they do ship (uh-​oh!). The high price tag is another good way to keep from overindulging.
The shop can be hard to spot since it sits in the corner of a mall-​esque building. It’s not very big, but that’s perfectly fine because you’re in there for one thing and the nice and helpful gentleman behind the counter knows exactly what that is. So what are you waiting for? Go discover their incredibleness for yourself. And bring me one!

If God was a woman, came down from heaven, and configured herself into little itty bitty bite-​sized morsels, She would be called Teuscher Champagne Truffles. I can’t get enough of them and think naughty thoughts about them all the time. While I’ve tried the other chocolates from Teuscher, none of them compare to the Champagne Truffle. I can’t even type its name without addressing it as a proper noun. Yes it’s that good. If you’re not a chocolate-​lover, you’re in the wrong place. And severely deprived.

Not a big fan of chocolate but we had to try the famous chocolate truffles that was on the Oprah show…
It was delicious!!! champagne filled truffles… they were rich and just perfect. it melted in your mouth.
Only downside is the pricing was a bit on the high side…
