Traveler reviews
Matthew Wong
★★★★★5 months agoAtsuko-san was so warm and helpful! She helped us decide on which flavours to get because there was just so many to choose from! When we entered the store, she was giving out samples for the caramelised hazelnuts in milk chocolate - which is apparently their best seller! Highly recommend that flavour! 100g is not enough haha. Very pleasant experience overall compared to the other store at Zurich HB where the staff were just behind the counter doing their own thing.

★★★★★6 months agoA place of dreams! I love this chocolate! What I love most about this place besides the aromas is the customer service and today I had a pleasant surprise! A Brazilian attendant who attended us very well, a very attentive and helpful person, is named Rosângela (Zana) as she is known by her co-workers. Thank you for the experience.
