Andre's Confiserie Suisse
Best Chocolate Shop in Kansas City · MO
Swiss chocolates on Main Street since 1955
André's Confiserie Suisse has made authentic Swiss chocolates and pastries in Kansas City since 1955, when André and Elsbeth Bollier emigrated from Basel. Truffles, tortes, and delicate cookies fill the cases, and an adjoining Swiss tea room serves a proper sit-down lunch.
Now run by the third generation of Bolliers, André's is Kansas City's definitive chocolatier — a taste of old-world Switzerland that has anchored Main Street for seventy years.
