H. Schwarzenbach AG in Zürich

I love both stores, chocolates from all over the world, and dried fruits are my current obsessions. People are nice and helpful, service tip top. Pricey but you get high value. Some of fruits are the best I've ever tasted of that type, they must have some good hidden recipes :) and they speak English if you don't speak German yet :)

I was looking for apricot vinegar and found it online. Since you can also pick up your order in the store, I went by and didn't regret it. I haven't been in such a formidable business for a long time. The interior is based on an original grocery store and you can find so many exquisite products here: various types of coffee, spices, dried fruits, sauces, confectionery and of course apricot vinegar and much more. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for an exceptional shopping experience, this store is highly recommended.

The store goes on to describe itself as a "colonial goods store" - I think that says it all. #decolonizeourculture

"a delightful specialty grocery store that’s been operating here for more than 100 years." Lots of very very awesome dried fruit and other fruits and sauces. Love this place. Loved the chocolate selection. Tons of vegan and lactose free options, including vegan hot chocolate! The dried fruit was very well-done, but I think I'm not crazy about dried fruit actually and would rather eat not dried fruit. Wish I lived here so I could try more of the sauces 😍

It's always an experience to go shopping here

A wonderful shop full of delicacies. With good advice if desired.

If you're not looking for something specific, you'll usually find it there.

A jewel in the middle of Zurich's old town. You can buy the best coffee and many other goodies here :)

Didn't go inside but seemed to be a store with plenty of history. It has a lot of variety of dry food and many more.

Great selection, good advice, great experience.

He seemed to recognize that I was Japanese and served me in mixed Japanese. There are some good items, a tasteful display that gives you a sense of history, and the customer service is excellent. it's recommended.

Always great service and advice. Fine goods..Thank you for being here.

Classic colonial goods store with a historical atmosphere. The goods offered are of excellent quality!

I love this old traditional shop! The large selection of dried fruits, nuts, teas, candied fruits etc is fantastic! And that special smell in the store is a wonderful addition! The service is competent and friendly!

We felt great joy during our visit to Schwarzenbach. The wide selection of special coffee, dried fruits and chocolate was overwhelming! Unfortunately we didn't have much time, but we were given very warm and informative advice and took some delicacies with us. I have to admit that I haven't eaten much chocolate so far, but I got a taste for it at Schwarzenbach on the recommendation of the very friendly staff member. Back in Berlin I've already asked how I can get supplies ;-) On my next visit to Zurich, I'll plan more time for Schwarzenbach.

I ordered online: -Delivery was very quick, and the delivery fee is also okay. -The whole thing would be packaged very small so that there wouldn't be as much waste. I also found the postcard with handwritten greetings very nice To the products: I ordered a wide range of products. - the kaffir lime leaves are really of very high quality and intense in taste. I have comparable products from other stores that were already good, but seem more like B-products - I found the Zurich fish sauce to be very salty, but really good after using it in the stew - the oils are flawless and high quality I haven't tried the other products yet, but everything looked very high quality. The customer service is very helpful. Thanks. I would recommend and definitely order again.

A must when I'm in my hometown. Always top products and excellent quality. The service is always friendly and very accommodating. Anyone looking for something to enjoy will definitely find it here. Coffee, tea, chocolate, spices, candied fruits and much more.

Many specialty grocery stores exist, but this is your best option if you're into tea, coffee, dried fruits, or chocolates! The store is roughly divided in half. Facing the building, the right half is dedicated mostly to tea and dried goods with a few other items thrown in. The left half sells specialty chocolate bars and coffee. If you're from the states you'll find those chocolate bars and other items surprisingly cheap. It's worth browsing just to see and smell the selection of this classic shopping choice. Staff is helpful and does speak English.

Excellent coffee beans. Gently roasted according to old tradition.

Sensational offer. I love Schwerzenbach’s teas and jams!

nice selection, competent staff, fair price

Everything's fine, thank you very much.

The best Chinese green tea is here, not comparable to the product from the supermarket.

Great shop! Coffee and tea from all over the world. The dried fruits are particularly good - we recommend the Thai watermelon!

We always buy our coffee beans here and have been absolutely satisfied with the great quality for years. Highly Recommended.

One of the best shops in Zurich that we hope will stay with us for a long time.

A very special specialist shop with high quality products and very friendly staff.

Best coffee and Schooki and much more. Thumbs up👍

Dear Ms. Behm, thank you very much for your very friendly, helpful and competent way of working, very much appreciated! As soon as my supply of super delicious dried fruits runs out, I'm really looking forward to seeing you again!

Just incredible choice of very special foods we did not even know existed. Wonderful smell of spices, coffee, chocolate, dried berries etc. Not particularly friendly personnel, but the experience was really special. Hot chocolate we tried in the bar was just delicious.

It has a huge selection of tea, coffee, dried fruit etc, all of the highest quality. The employees are patient and happy to advise you. I always buy gifts for friends and acquaintances here.

Often exquisite products. Unfortunately, it was unfriendly at times. Pears were full of maggots and worms. I bought 6 packs plus other products for almost 300 francs. I just wanted a refund for the bulbs and sent photos. I was told I was the only one complaining. They had cut open all the pears, that was impossible and the worms probably got into my products???!!!! I find that really cheeky. I don't buy here anymore. Customer service is something different. Sorry!

Cool shop where I like to buy tea when I'm in Zurich

I really enjoy going by to buy coffee. It's worth a visit. The staff is also very friendly and competent!

Exquisite collection of premium, grand cru chocolate from a very select array of the world’s chocolate-makers, some of them among the hardest to find anywhere. Five-star service from the friendly, excellently knowledgeable ladies.

Historic and iconic venue in Zurich. This shop is divided into various sections. In one you can find dried and candied fruit, tea and spices of all kinds and from all over the world, all of excellent quality. Some windows overlook a machine where the coffee is roasted. In another place you can buy excellent coffee and tea, as well as excellent quality chocolate. The staff is friendly and very competent.

Exquisite. We always buy pepper and try something else. For example candied oranges, delicious!

A "MUST" for visitors to Zurich... It's always an experience to visit this historic institution... GREAT advice, incredibly friendly and helpful staff... Prices are a bit "high" but I think they're justified for the quality. The chocolate bar next door was surprisingly cool... Absolutely GREAT advice, incredibly friendly staff and my choice, the hot chocolate "Intenso", simply HEAVENLY!!! I will definitely come back next time I visit Zurich :)

Super fine coffee and very good chocolate. ;)

Had a “Heisse schokolade Intenso” and “Caffè freddo” in the shop. The chocolate drink is really amazing. Highly recommended. (:

A large selection of dried fruits and local, regional and international specialties are offered to you. In the separate store, specializing in chocolates from various regions, chocolate fans will be delighted

What an immeasurable blessing that businesses like this still exist. Little by little I buy and enjoy the range, I keep discovering new things, I have never been disappointed and I remain loyal to many things. Anyone who wants quality for their money, who appreciates good products, but who also has high expectations has come to the right place. Admittedly, CHF 10.20, for example, for 50 grams of chocolate - here the Qantu Silk Road - is already a proud price……however…….you also get a pleasure trip that gives you precious moments in which you can relax with your eyes closed, depending on the situation Fantasy, you can let yourself be carried away and the best…….a small piece is enough. 50gr can therefore be a long journey. But also the different types of the best coffee beans, the excellent quality spices, dried fruits, nuts, tea... I still have a lot to try and I'm looking forward to it.

Absolutely great range! All employees are very friendly, prompt and helpful.

A nice shop with selected specialties. Only when it comes to coffee do the operators always work hard because you can't smell the ground roast. You then have to be able to decide which ground coffee you might like based on the beans (!) from “Italian roasting”, “Brazil” or “Special blend”. It's a shame and also a bit pointless.

Vintage style store with a big variety of coffee and tea. The smell of coffe invites to buy everything at once. We focused this time on tea. All the sorts we bought are very delicious and of very good quality. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. We will for sure come back.

The best natural Swizterland chocolate you can try... I enjoy my hot chocolate there ☕️with a delicious 🍫 chocolate bar

It's great that places like this still exist.

Good condition and nice selection.

Fantastic coffee and super exciting selection of treats. Gladly again and again!

It’s great place to buy coffee, tea or sweets!

Possibly the most magical-feeling shop in Zürich. They have the best Kakaopulver made by Felchlin, the best dried fruits, and the best single-origin chocolate selection I’ve managed to find in Switzerland.

Well organized store offering many products from different brands. The staff are very helpful and give good advice.

Amazing hot chocolate! 🥰 I highly recommend the Maracaibo!

I've only ever ordered online, but I'm really satisfied. Very good, exciting products and the shipping was always fine!

I was somewhat taken aback by the rude manner in which I was treated when asked a question. I would have liked to have looked around some more, but I lost the desire.

Nice shop but a bit claustrophobic, poor guidance.

Certainly all products are wonderful. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the name is terrible.

4:50 p.m., 10 minutes before it would be closed -a cappuccino, please - sorry, the boiler is already closed - OK... Then with cold milk? - sorry... We're closing - OK, see you soon 1 star

Was there briefly and spontaneously this afternoon for an espresso and a cherry amarretti and would like to thank the two nice, helpful ladies once again :) I would be happy to come by again when I have my monthly appointment in Zurich and maybe I will have until then Finally found a coffee measuring spoon like this somewhere...

Probably my favorite place in Zurich for excellent tea and chocolate with a prime location (and even more prime prices, ekhm ;))

A grocery store from times gone by. A very rich choice of teas, coffees and colonials in general. Of great quality.

Selected range of food and beverages (including rare ones). No self-service but very friendly and competent sales staff. The price is in the upper segment but corresponds to the quality offered. It's also worth a visit because of the interior, which is reminiscent of the old grocery stores.

Excellent wares from colonial countries! 👌👌

My favorite food store should finally be rated! I've been getting our breakfast tea (black tea with mango blossoms) there for many years. The scents and the presentation of the goods often seduce me into making completely different purchases! So far everything has been just right for me, be it the visuals, the quality but also the very competent and friendly sales team. Even during the Covid period, things went relatively quickly without long waiting times in front of the shop. It is important to actively support such smaller businesses!

A really friendly shop, with great products, friendly staff and beautiful furnishings. Like an Italian Drogheria in Zurich! It's a shame the café no longer exists, but the chocolate shop is also something nice. The La Flor house chocolate is, without exaggeration, the best chocolate I have ever tasted!

Perfect coffee and chocolate shop

A land of milk and honey for gourmets and (hobby) chefs and lovers and connoisseurs of international cuisine and fine food. From spices and dried fruits, candied fruits, etc. to superb, freshly roasted coffees and tea blends of the best quality. There's a lot more to list... can't wait to go back and get to know new things! 😋👌🌺🤗

Great selection of spices, dried fruits, nuts, tea and many more. Perfect place to buy a friend's gift.

The new “chocolate” area offers a varied choice from all over the world and the staff provides us with information with friendliness and competence. In the main store, where I appreciate the atmosphere and the quality of the products, I regret that the staff rushes us to choose and leave because of the limited number of people allowed in the store.

Everything perfect. Except the packaging is made of plastic. Would have to be sheet metal or glass. You don't want to eat microplastics.

Beautiful store top quality good service

The location is very good and very charming place. They have very fresh coffee beans. Especially Swiss Muesli is very recommandable. The places r very tiny but if you go a bit earlier for lunch, don’t worry. There is a place for you.( Year 2020) —— January, 2021 they open for elegant hot chocolate. Super good quality. I tried bio dark hot chocolate(around chf 10) for a drink. It was very light and high quality organic chocolate. Very kind staffs. Very helpful to ask. Good place to drop by and buy chocolate

The reason I like shopping in a store! A feel-good atmosphere, delicious chocolate from all over the world and first-class coffee. I'm happy to support you even during Covid times! See you soon and keep it up!

Always cozy in the tea café and I love the grocery store where I do my hamster shopping. I live in Namiia

I particularly appreciate the selection of spices and dried fruits. Very friendly and competent sales team!

So many specialties in a small area! Coffee, teas, spices, dried fruits, in short, it’s sublime! The staff is also very competent.

Very nicely constructed, high quality products, friendly team

A rare kind of shop. Recommended

Lovely store for coffee, tea and many other products! Highly recommended!!

Love the style of the shop. High quality products, professional and very friendly staff. I always buy presents for colleagues, friends and family there. Great choice of tea, coffee and candied fruits.

Best coffee shop in Zurich. Great coffee, cozy and great service given by the Brazilian barista.

Great selection, fast and always complete delivery. Great and detailed descriptions of the items. The only minus: too much Styrofoam in the packaging of the goods.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend! Food is excellent, would definitely go there again.

For me and our family, Schwarzenbach Zurich has been the best address in Switzerland for many years for a huge selection of dried fruit or candied fruit, the finest nuts and almonds, freshly roasted coffee and and and... .... A MUST for visitors to Zurich, because the quality here is also right, everything is at its FINEST.

Best Japanese green tea in town

Excellent experience, lovely shop, really nice attention. 100% recommendable!

Brilliant shop. I love the subtle smells of coffee, tea, dried fruits. In addition, the service is always friendly and competent. And of course there is my favorite tea here, an Assam, Borpatra. It makes a copper-colored, strong cup.

Visitors who “just” want to look around will feel unwelcome.

I regularly buy coffee from there, great variety, including decaf

Fantastic Coffees, including FLAVORED BLENDS! I'm an American and am used to buying all kinds of flavored blends in the States (vanilla, cinnamon, coconut, buttercream, you name it!). My Swiss husband laughed when I asked if I could find that here but one day I was searching online and came across this company. We ordered the vanilla and chocolate blends (I personally don't care for Amaretto) and I couldn't be happier. Service was prompt and prices were fair. I only wish I could buy other flavors. Thank you, H. Schwarzenbach! ♥️

Offers incredible spices and very interesting varieties of peppers, some of them rare. Great online store - highly recommendable.

Wide variety of dried fruits and grains

The store is open as of March 16, 2020 normal hours. They just limit numbers of customers to 5 inside the store at any point. There’s space to wait outside in the street. Delicious coffee, tea, jams, dried fruit etc

Nice shop and great range of goods. The employees are friendly and very competent.

Small cozy tea-coffee house with special teas and coffees

Delicious coffee and cakes in Zurich!

The best place in Zurich for good coffee, tea and homemade cake, simply delicious!

Wide selection of exquisite herbs and spices from around the world. Workers there are very knowledgeable and will help you choose and give Recommendations. Bought a gift for my colleague's parents and they put my selection in a very nice and beautifully wrapped Box. The wild Ethiopean black pepper was especially well received. Recommended for a nice present or to try a non-traditional flavouring.

You're looking for something you can't get anywhere else, a spice, a tea, candied fruit... Schwarzenbach has it. The service is extremely friendly, knows their stuff well, and if they don't know something, they'll do it next time - in other words, they look it up so that they can inform the customer the next time they visit (I've already experienced this a few times ). I always buy candied, but not sugared, ginger and cocoa powder here - both are incredibly tasty and I would miss them if they no longer existed.

One of the historical addresses and great place for coffee lovers.
