About Confiserie Sprüngli, Paradeplatz
David Sprüngli founded the company in 1836; his grandchildren later divided it into the chocolate factory now known as Lindt & Sprüngli and the confectionery, which has stood on the Paradeplatz since 1859. After its Jugendstil renovation of 1910 the house became a city landmark, and a renovation in 2024 began a new chapter. The shop on the ground floor sells the whole range, from Luxemburgerli to truffles; the café and restaurant upstairs serve breakfast, lunch and a Sunday brunch. Bahnhofstrasse 21.
