"Tucked in the middle of the old town, Max is a tiny, very neat chocolatier, with everything very clearly labeled. It’s a family affair, founded by Patrik König in honor of his son, the titular Max, and designed by König’s sister. Much of the chocolate selection rotates in and out, although there are some staples always in stock, like the raspberry branchliss, a fruity elongated truffle and a particular favorite of Max. The unbeatable hot chocolate bears a warm reddish tinge and luscious oil droplets floating on the surface, and it’s wonderfully bitter and fatty. Come early in the day because the store tends to run out by the early afternoon." - N.A. Mansour

Really cute chocolatier nestled in some winding Swiss cobblestone streets… chocolate was delicious - I got 4 truffles for 10 CHF. However Service was less than enthusiastic and it wasn’t the immersive or intimidate or memorable chocolatier experience I was hoping for. Just felt like a regular store. Not worth a detour but certainly a nice selection of products

I visited a Max Chocolatier shop in Zurich, and it was an unforgettable experience! The store itself felt like a gallery of edible art, with chocolates crafted to perfection. The coffee was exquisite, and every piece of chocolate was a gourmet masterpiece. A true paradise for any chocolate lover!

Beautifully crafted chocolates that taste amazing. The raspberry truffles and orange sticks were out favorites.

I had a limited edition gingerbread truffle and a lychee chilli. The first one was super yummy and I can't wait to eat one again and the second one had flavours of lychee jelly and a hint of chilli. It was super good and I love this place. We were greeted by a smiling face and a chocolate sample.

A small place with great chocolate, and an amazing hot chocolate for takeaway. The only thing that I thought was not so good is the fact that you've got no place to sit inside, but it's small so I guess that there's nothing to do about this...

Went recently to try a more bespoke taste of chocolate in Zurich. Unfortunately had a terrible experience with the staff here. As I walked in with my spouse we were not greeted and ignored, we might have also been profiled. After we tried asking for help, we did not get any support at all and the worker there only attended to other people who didnt buy anything at all?? A terrible establishment if you decide to treat people with such ignorance.

Another stop on your chocolate adventure in Switzerland. The spot was on a tiny street and was super small. the shopkeeper was helping another couple so we looked around ourselves. I didn't end up making a purchase since we had already gotten so much chocolate today, but the place was pretty darn awesome!

This is small batch, artisan chocolates. And the craftsmanship really shines through. I tell you, I legit regretted not buying a bigger box of chocolates. If I'm ever back in Zurich I will most definitely go back.

We stumbled upon Max Chocolatier by accident (but so glad we did)! The woman working inside was very nice and let us sample some wonderfully delicious Swiss Chocolate! The shop is small, but it is very clean and bright! They have a lot of different chocolates available! You will find something for everyone :)

I'll keep this review simple and short just like my visit to this chocolate shoppe. I was browsing which chocolates to get since I was on the mission to bring home all the Swiss chocolates I could possibly get my hands on. This place is tiny. It was delivery day so the crates of chocolate were next to the door making this place feeling more cramped. I was really turned off by the rude person that was behind the counter. It's not like the store was buzzing with people and now I understand why. The guy behind the counter rudely yelled at me for taking pictures. They don't have any signs that say "no photography allowed" and I've seen pictures online for this place. So, what the hell was up that man's butt? I took my money elsewhere. There are plenty of chocolate shops that have great quality and much better customer service which this place absolutely lacks.

Don't listen to any bad reviews of this place. Is the owner direct? Yes. Does she want to sell you the best chocolate on the planet? Yes. Calm down. Sample the chocolate. But the chocolate. This is the chocolate of your dreams. The best chocolate you've ever had? Yes. Hands downs. Buy as much as you can.

Not sure why anyone would find that review funny. Is it funny to be an asshat to nice people?? I was just remembering this and decided to update my review to a total of one star on the off chance it may actually teach the owners to not be mean for no reason...You know, like teachers do with grade school kids and kindergarteners.

Visited here early November. This little spot is tucked away up a small hill in the shopping district of Zurich. Approximately 10-15 minute walk (uphill) from the main train terminal. Upscale chocolates in a quiet boutique. I was the only patron and Jaiver (pictured in another poster's review) was excellent and patient explaining the backstory of the shop (ask about Max), and describing in detail how each chocolate was made and recommending the best souvenirs to take home to family. He even shared some nice samples. I actually thought the prices were fairly reasonable (for Zurich), considering that the shop is specially certified by the government due to the high quality. My only concern is that unless you're searching for the shop, you wouldn't even notice it - hence the non-existent customers. I hope this doesn't impact the shop's ability to stay open. Due to the rave reviews of the chocolates I brought home for friends/family, I have already ordered more from their website. Go visit!

What a fantastic shop and a lovely story. The chocolates in this shop are elegant - the perfect indulgence or gift. Javier the gentleman working was gracious and very helpful. This is a must find destination. It's a small intimate little shop but seems just perfect wedged into a little pedestrian street near the river. I'm so happy we found Max Chocolatier!

If you want your taste buds to hit high heaven, this is the place to go. Food: we didn't buy any chocolates since they're a bit upscale for our college student budget, but the owner was pleasant and sweet enough to offer us a sample nonetheless! The chocolate melts in your mouth and is comparably priced for Swiss chocolate. What we did get and highly recommend are their ice cream, especially now!! Since it's autumn, they're discounted at 3.50CHF instead of the usual 5CHF. We got the vanilla chai and passion fruit. Both tasted so fresh and are organically made, no preservatives or coloring, hence the seasonal sale while they're still fresh. Service: the owner was sweet and friendly. She also let us take a bunch of little gift tags by the cash register, so nice little souvenirs!

For those looking for the highest quality of chocolate (e.g. single origin and so on) without extra nuts, fruits, and other added flavors, Max Chocolatier is the best you'll find in Zürich. It's one of the few boutique style chocolatiers you'll find in Switzerland.

My husband and I went through hell and high water to find the location in Zurich (note: a taxi can't get you there!). When we finally arrived, they were just closing the doors for the night. I was feeling defeated and saddened by our misfortune when the associate, Javier, saved the day! He was so kind and accommodating and allowed us to briefly peruse the store, gave us some samples to try, and gave us some wonderful recommendations for ourselves and for treats for our loved ones back home. It was such a pleasureable experience and the quality of the chocolate matched the personality and generosity of Javier. I'd go back not only for the chocolate, but for the customer service. Thanks for saving the day! You were wonderful.
