Confiserie Sprüngli Café & Restaurant

Historic Heart of Zurich's Sweet Scene

Confiserie Sprüngli at Bahnhofstrasse 21 stands as a cornerstone of Zurich's culinary heritage since 1859. Founded by David Sprüngli and his son Rudolf on what was then Neumarkt, now vibrant Paradeplatz, the Sprüngli House evolved into a global landmark. The 1909-1910 Jugendstil renovation transformed it into a Viennese-style coffee house, drawing locals, tourists, and celebrities. Further updates in 1930-31 and a major 2024 refurbishment preserved its timeless architecture while introducing contemporary elegance with Italian marble, oak herringbone floors, and sophisticated mirrors.

Exquisite Confections and Signature Treats

Renowned as a pioneer in Swiss chocolate, Sprüngli crafts melt-in-your-mouth pralines, truffles, and the world-famous Luxemburgerli—delicate miniature macarons in an array of flavors. The ground-floor Chocolathèque allows custom selection of hand-broken chocolates. Patisserie shines with fresh tarts, cakes, and daily specials, complemented by savory options like salads and sandwiches for takeout or enjoyment.

Café-Bar and Restaurant Delights

The ground-floor Café-Bar serves indulgent coffee, signature Chocolat Chaud, snacks, and desserts, with summer seating on the Bahnhofstrasse boulevard. Upstairs, the Café & Restaurant offers breakfast, brunch, lunch, and all-day menus blending classic Swiss dishes with creative innovations. Expect vegetarian-friendly and gluten-free options in an elegant setting true to its historic roots.
