The newest chocolate shop in Zurich is Conditorei Schober Chocolaterie, along the Limmat river next to the Storchen hotel. At this shop, they have a small selection of handcrafted, old world style chocolate creations, pralines and other treats made with their traditional methods.

At the cafe, they serve their signature hot chocolate, famous from the old days at the famous Conditorei Schober in the old town that they founded, which is now Cafe 1842 under different management. We're glad that the Schober brand finally has a home to call their own.

Their coffee is good quality, sourced and freshly roasted by nearby Schwarzenbach.

While I do enjoy their chocolate, the shop seems a bit confused at the moment, geared more toward fancy gifts and no individual pralines on display like other chocolate shops. The cafe has very limited seating and not much on the menu. But I'm hopeful it will become a new favorite as they grow into the space.
