Absolutely artistic and deliciousπŸ‡¨πŸ‡­πŸ«chocolate!! πŸ˜‹πŸ˜ they have such a great collection, variety of flavors, and very beautiful pre- packaged boxes for gifts!The staff was very professional, kind and helpful! πŸ™Œ They invited us to try the new flavors to help us decide our favorites before buying. They sell the chocolate by pound. My favorite was the white chocolate with pistachio and dried fruit.

Everything I tried was delicious! High quality chocolate with a variety of flavors. The shop was quiet busy during the holiday season so there weren’t any staff members on the floor, they were all behind the counter. But the customers was still wonderful. I even got to sample some things.

My husband brings me these incredibly delicious candies all the time. Today I decided to buy candies on my own. Upon entering the store , the very welcoming guy offered us a sample. I, however , went straight to the truffle counter. The sales person asked me what I would like. I knew that I wanted only truffles since I find them the best to my liking.I asked some questions about truffles but the person working with me seemed uninterested, dismissive and almost as I was taking her time. I politely ( to my knowledge) called her out on her β€œ eye rolling β€œ to which she seemed to responded well and slightly changed her attitude.I am quite shocked for this sales person whole demeanor in that kind of happy place with that kind of high quality sweet art work .I hope that calling out her on her β€œ eye rolling” would send a message to her that a job is not a burden but privilege and we all must take a pride in no matter what we do.

Cant believe my favorite chocolatier from Switzerland has opened a store in Manhattan! Love their liquor truffles and their assorted chocolate bars. In chocolate heaven! Must try for anyone who loves Swiss chocolate and trust me, this leaves Lindt far behind.

This is my third time shopping here. I love their chocolates but the prices are ridiculously high. Today, there was only staff handling everything, she was doing BOTH samples and checkout. I waited at least 15 minutes to buy a couple items.

The best chocolate Ive ever had my favorite is the Blond Caramel bar. I recently tried their strawberry popcorn and it did not disappoint. The staff is friendly especially the guy who offers samples (didnt get his name). If youre around definitely stop by.

Review β„–17

Literally the best chocolate Ive ever had! Laderach is a Swiss chocolatier who is now finally in NYC! They have a huge 5th Ave location which is their Flagship store.They sell chocolate in the most interesting way. They come in flat slabs and when you pick the flavor you want they break off a piece and weigh it for you. So they are selling it by the pound but you can buy whatever quantity you want.I absolutely love the white chocolate one with raspberries and the milk chocolate with caramelized almonds. You will go back 4 times in a week (Im guilty of this lol)!IG-traveleen_gurl

Delicious chocolate if bought fresh from the counter, but buyer beware if you are buying one of their bars or not from the counter. I bought their blond caramel bar at almost $7 and it was old. Not very good. So only buy what you can see would be my advice.

The employees don’t wear masks here. So be careful - don’t buy the loose chocolates in the display case for hygiene reasons, as there is no barrier between the employees and the chocolates.I went today, July 2, around 12pm, saw 1 female and 1 male employee and neither were wearing masks. I asked them why they weren’t, and the female employee said they weren’t asked to wear masks, so it’s up to them if they want to. (Their own sign, taped to the door, says that they wear masks). Considering that they have a whole display case of loose chocolates, and I even heard someone coughing, I feel like this is a big deal. To put it in context, Bloomingdales (which is next door), asks everyone entering to wear a mask; the vast majority of New Yorkers wear masks even outdoors. They’re priced as a luxury chocolatier (which is fine as they taste great), but their cavalier attitude about hygiene is a huge turn off. I’ve bought plenty of their chocolates in the past, but I doubt I’ll be going back.

Best chocolate ever!! Service was very nice, these people came in without a mask and instead of kicking them out they gave them a mask and gave them samplers of what they wanted. The chocolate is amazing, the regular truffle is so buttery and heavenly. There are chocolates through orange bark to mint truffles. Swiss chocolate. Would 100 recommend it for adults for families not as much. Overall amazing place.

Let me start of by saying customer service is the key to have certain type of customers like myself (a true New Yorker at HEART) come back again and again. MY FAVORITE is the choco flakes the chocolate is delicate and mouth-watering . I had such a rich an inspiring experience with a young lady named jasmine (I hope I am spelling it right) she was super knowledgeable about the product I was stunned and impressed. Applause to her !!! She took her time with me and my order Next time Im coming straight to Jasmine ! Thank you Laderach for having such bomb staff as Ms.Jasmine !! Will see you guys soon for sure!

Review β„–38

The taste of the chocolate is ridiculously good. A bit pricey at $40 per lb. I had the milk chocolate with almonds. Management should pay a bit more attention to service that was just okay as they could also use some more knowledge and care like you would find at a Neuhaus store - but the product is fantastic.

Not only did they have GREAT CUSTOMER service skills they were helpful and actually cared to helped me!!!! & that is why I bought the chocolate even tho I’m still looking for my caramel apple. Great chocolate

Review β„–43

Sad state of mind. I walk in and was greeted by a female member, who looked like she slept in her uniform. The white shirt barely fit her figure as well as the pants. As far as chocolate knowledge. The only explanation was its from Switzerland. Unfortunately, no social distancing was practiced in this store. To many people roaming around. I believe a manager, who should have controlled all these infractions was non existent.Let alone no one was wearing glovesAnd all masks were worn incorrectly.At, this point I walked out. Tried once again. Chocolate slabs in windows on shelves with no protective features/ barriers, or anything other than air between the chocolate and the counter. So much for pandemic prevention.

We were searching for a little sweet pick me up after touring Central Park on a rainy day. We first went to Macaroon Cafe & experience terrible service, we didn’t even get anything. Right around the corner we saw this place and the lady who helped us really turned around our spirits. The chocolate was amazing and she was such a sweet lady! We will be visiting this location again! Thank you!

Let me start by telling you all that this chocolate place gives free samples of their very delicious chocolate! They are generous. I had already tasted two pieces when the sales person offered the third, in response to my question about what it tasted like.Also, keep in mind that LΓ€derach is not in Bloomberg. Its a separate small place that can be entered from the street, without having to go inside any big store.I visited LΓ€derach twice, in both times I was welcomed nicely. But for my first visit, I would give four stars because I was upset that the sales person tidied up her hair a few times, while handling my order, which I considered a bit gross.This time I liked it better, because the whole experience was perfect!The taste of chocolate is very fresh and delicious. Expensive, yes, but worth it. For a long while, I lost interest in buying chocolate, because it all felt a bit stale, but LΓ€derach brought back the love of chocolate to me.

I was in Switzerland a few years ago and in the big cities, Laderach can be found dotting downtown areas. I love their chocolates, especially their florentines. Im so glad theyve opened up a location in NYC!!The selection is mostly the same as their Swiss shops and everything is shipped from Switzerland.Im always excited to buy chocolate bark by weight from Laderach.

I posted an IG photo when I saw the store open, because it looked so amazing...and one of my friends fell in love used them for her companys corporate gifts, and we received one!

Review β„–61

So I am pregnant and got a craving today for some chocolate. I always wanted to try this location as it looks really delicious. The price was redicously high and the front lady rolls her eyes if you ask to try a sample. I got a very small dark chocolate (which ended up being too sweet) for almost 11$. I wanted to try it before purchasing but I had already asked for a sample from the white one and got the rolling eyes so I didn’t want to get it twice!

Review β„–62

I used to go out of my way to book European connecting flights through Zurich Airport so I could buy Laderach. NY shop appears to be 30% or so more expensive than the Swiss shops and the people who work in the NY shop arent very nice. Let it be a testament to how good this chocolate is that I dont care. Its simply the best in the world, at any price.

Review β„–63

Let me start off saying that Laderach makes the best chocolates in the world! I visited Switzerland last year and it was love at first bite! I have been shipping their chocolates ever since. Needless to say when we were told that a store opened up in NYC we rushed the very same day to get our fill of deliciousness. The only reason for 2 less stars is that the pricing in NYC is 50% more than in Switzerland. I think its really steep to pay 11.90$ for 0.25 pounds of chocolate! In fact its cheaper getting it shipped from Switzerland. Nevertheless its awesome to have a local store I can go to every now and then.Update - Went back today and was pleasantly surprised that the prices have been reduced. Thank you for listening to your customers so promptly! I will be stopping by everytime I visit the city.

Review β„–72

This is my favorite chocolate in the world so far, I live in NYC and Milan, and I travel to Switzerland often by train stopping in Bern or Lugano ONLY to buy this chocolate. I went even to visit the original factory and the museum.I give only 3 stars due to the price that is really too expensive. It’s double what I pay in Switzerland, It almost insulting to people who would love to try it. And even if you can afford it , it doesn’t mean you want to be ripped off . It’s cheaper to buy it online. Second reason is the thickness of the sheets of chocolate . In nyc the average of the chocolate sheet is a little thicker than the one I buy in Switzerland so you end up with more weight and paying even more crazy price. The corn flakes one I had was too thick and the flakes were all broken small pieces lost in too much chocolate while the one I buy in Bern has a perfect balance between chocolate and the whole flakes you see on the surface. I mean , I am a fan and I love it but don’t take advantage of addicted people! ;-)

Review β„–81

Wonderful, very good to be able to speak french with one of your salesmen smiling and welcoming. Of course the chocolate is very good, the only rating decreasing a star is at the level of your prices. Your company should review / reconsider its pricing policy for a little extravagant even for New York. Excellence does not necessarily equate to the price of excellent products in Europe.Wondeful choices.
