Fancy Swiss Chocolatier Läderach Is Bringing ‘FrischSchoggi' to Washington State
Seattle-area malls are going to be upgrading their chocolate offerings this summer, as the Swiss brand Läderach is set to open two stores, one in Westfield Southcenter next month, and one in Bellevue Square in August. These will be the first Läderach locations in Washington State; the chain already has locations across the country, including a flagship store in New York. So, what's Läderach? The thing the brand is most famous for, according to the press release we got, is 'FrischSchoggi,' a.k.a. fresh chocolate. You order at the counter by weight, and a Läderach chocolatier breaks pieces of chocolate off of slabs. The stores will also have the kinds of thing you'd expect at a chocolate shop, including truffles, bars, popcorn, and so on. Everything comes from Läderach's production facilities in Switzerland. Now on to more news you should know: Rainier Beer may not be brewed in Seattle anymore, but the brand is still trying to keep a foot on the ground here with R-Day, a free music festival in Georgetown that serves as a 'thank you letter' to Seattle, according to the brand. This year R-Day lands on September 6, and will be headlined by Mudhoney. There will also be food courtesy of the Dubsea Fish Sticks truck, plus (of course) Rainier Beer and cocktails using Rainier gin. Go here for more info. After a $2.5 million renovation, the cafe at the Museum of Pop Culture has reopened. The new restaurant, called The Lounge, features food from new head chef Athan Pixler. According to a press release, Pixler's menu will include items like tempura squash blossoms, dry-aged salmon with dashi, and a koji-aged burger with bone marrow butter. This follows a trend of museums around town stepping their dining game up; a couple years ago acclaimed tapas restaurant MariPili took over the cafe at the Frey. Seattle's most famous market is throwing its annual big fundraising dinner on August 16. The Sunset Supper, which brings together 100 restaurants and producers for a party at the market, regularly raises hundreds of thousands for the Pike Place Market Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the market and provides a variety of social services in the neighborhood. Tickets are $250; to purchase and for more information, go here. See More: Coming Attractions Seattle Restaurant News

Additionally, major chocolate brands, including Läderach and Lindt, began creating their own pistachio chocolate bars to meet the demand driven by the global viral trend, further increasing the demand for pistachio kernels. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Swiss Chocolatier Läderach is Opening in New Cairo
Deposit guilt, withdraw ganache. Interest rate: 100% delicious. Mar 12, 2025 Cairo's sweet tooth brigade, take note: Switzerland's Läderach has landed, and restraint will be in short supply. The high-end Zürich chocolatier, whispered about among cocoa connoisseurs with the reverence usually reserved for vintage wine, is opening its first Egyptian boutique at Waterway 2. Läderach has built its reputation on precision—think of it as the Rolex of chocolate. Its FrischSchoggi, delicate slabs of freshly tempered chocolate, is less of a casual indulgence and more of an edible art installation (best consumed before Cairo's humidity intervenes). And for those who believe dessert should come with a side of extravagance, there's even edible gold. Because if you're going to indulge, you might as well make it decorative.
