7 bakery places in Zurich we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Zurich | Bakery across every city.
Zurich treats the bakery and the confiserie as separate crafts, and both are taken seriously. Confiserie Spruengli on Bahnhofstrasse is the grand old name for Luxemburgerli and fine patisserie, while John Baker, with rooms on Stadelhoferstrasse and at Helvetiaplatz, leads the modern sourdough wave. Cafe und Conditorei 1842 in the old town and Miyuko near Baerengasse round out a city that bakes with patience.
