The Paradeplatz flagship of the Zurich confectioner was founded in 1836 when David Sprüngli bought a small shop on the Marktgasse; the Paradeplatz premises came in 1859. In 1892 the family split the business between two sons. One took the chocolate factory that became Lindt & Sprüngli, the other this confiserie, still family-run six generations on. The shop is downstairs and the café upstairs, serving Luxemburgerli, named for the Luxembourgish confectioner who invented them, alongside cakes and hot chocolate. A great place for a light lunch or dessert. The best chocolates in Zurich, so be sure to buy some to go.
