Confiserie Sprungli

Confiserie Sprüngli

My perfect day starts with coffee. I love to wander the beautiful cobbled streets of Zurich, pop into a coffee shop, and sit by a gorgeous window and take it all in. I order a cappuccino and an almond croissant. (I am on a constant search for the best coffee and almond croissants in Zurich.) It is my happy place. It also gives me a chance to practice my German (that’s what I tell myself).

So yesterday, Heike and I hopped a train to town. We were running and laughing down the Bahnhofstrasse. It was like a magical movie moment I wanted to freeze forever. We were running straight for Confiserie Sprüngli. I ordered their famous hot chocolate and almond croissant. Heike ordered a fruit salad (so sensible). Later, Heike went to the sweets counter and ordered herself a pink Luxemburgerli (their signature macaron).

Truth be told, we came to Sprüngli on Saturday as well to escape the cold weather in between candle making and Christmas Market-ing. We ordered hot chocolates and I could not get it out of my mind all weekend! They are the perfect winter warm up indulgence. So we had to come back first thing Monday morning.
