Munich offers more than one kind of chocolate stop: dedicated makers, café-style indulgence, premium gift shopping and stores that mix chocolate with other confectionery. This guide helps you match the shop to the occasion.
Start with the kind of treat you want, then compare tasting availability, own-brand selections and whether the range focuses on chocolate, gummy sweets or distinctly sour candy.
This guide does not try to list everyone. It is our pick of chocolate shops in Munich, built on each business's public reputation and on how central this service is to what it does.
Some businesses pay for a fuller profile or a featured position. It is only open to those that have already passed our selection, and it is always marked.

#1Chocolates and pralines
Coffee and tea
Postcards and small souvenirs
Chocolates and pralines share the shelves with coffee, tea and small souvenirs at this confectionery and gift shop near Sendlinger Tor. Postcards and magnets give you something to pair with an edible present, while the mix of treats and keepsakes suits browsing for a gift to take home.
#2Walnut baklava
Pistachio mabruma
Halawa and syrup-based sweets
Baklava is the focus at this Landwehrstraße confectionery shop, with walnut baklava, pistachio mabruma and halawa among its Middle Eastern sweets. The selection suits putting together a dessert box, choosing an edible gift or picking up something for after dinner, with different baklava styles and options that are less sweet.
#3Trois Chocolates cake
Orange hot chocolate
Chocolate gifts
A slice of Trois Chocolates cake or an orange hot chocolate gives you a starting point at this chocolate-focused café on Jahnstraße. Alongside cakes and hot drinks, the shop sells chocolates and non-food gifts, so a café break can also be a chance to choose a present or souvenir.
#4Swiss chocolate
Gift-ready chocolate formats
Shareable snack packages
Swiss chocolate is the focus at Läderach on Neuhauser Straße, where gift-ready formats sit alongside shareable snack packages and new designs. Its position in Munich’s central shopping district suits picking up a planned present or making a quick chocolate stop, with an assortment that also offers scope for sampling in-store.
#5Fruit gummies
Liquorice
Sour sweet options
Fruit gummies and liquorice fill this compact shop on Sendlinger Strasse in Munich’s Altstadt-Lehel, with fruit-forward flavours and distinctly sour options shaping the selection. The confectionery concept dates back to 1995, and samples may help you choose a flavour, making it a useful stop for shoppers with a particular taste in sweets.
#6Own-brand chocolates
Chocolate tasting events
Pistachio tartlets and chocolate éclairs
At Kurfürstenplatz in Munich’s Schwabing-West, chokoin operates as both a specialist chocolate shop and dessert shop, with takeaway suited to a quick stop. The range focuses on distinctive chocolates, including the shop’s own brands.
Events provide a more in-depth route into chocolate. Its immersive tasting format covers chocolate history, production and tasting notes, with generous sampling and scope to explore different varieties during the session. Pistachio tartlets, mango cheesecake and chocolate éclairs extend the choice beyond the core chocolate range. Presentation is polished, although the tartlet and cheesecake favor a pronounced sweetness; for visitors seeking more nuance, the chocolate selection and structured tasting are the more compelling draws.
#7Sugar tangerine dark chocolate
Pineapple-flavored sweets
Nostalgic confectionery
An old-fashioned shopfront on Rindermarkt introduces a selection that mixes nostalgic confectionery with less familiar sweets, including sugar tangerine dark chocolate and pineapple-flavored treats. The traditional candy-store setting makes this a stop for browsing during a walk through Munich’s historic center, whether you want a small gift or a snack.

Chocolate-focused stops sit alongside cafés, confectioneries and broader candy shops across Munich. A central shopping stop may suit a quick gift purchase, while a dedicated maker is a better fit for a chocolate-led visit. Use the map to compare travel time, then check that the specific tasting, own-brand range or candy style you want is available before setting out.
Choose a dedicated chocolate shop or artisan when chocolate itself is the priority. A café suits an eat-in treat, while a confectionery or candy store makes more sense for a mixed selection extending to gummy or sour sweets. Confirm the exact range before travelling.
Yes. Läderach is especially relevant for premium chocolate gifts and for shoppers who want a polished present without losing sight of value. Decide whether you prefer a premium shop selection or an own-brand maker’s range, then confirm that the desired products are available before your visit.
chokoin is the clearest match for an immersive chocolate tasting and also has an own-brand shopping angle. Check whether a tasting is running on your intended day and whether advance arrangements are needed, since a retail visit and a tasting experience can have different availability.
Yes. Bears & Friends is relevant for gummy-candy enthusiasts and shoppers looking for distinctly sour sweets. That makes it useful when a group does not want chocolate alone. Check the current selection before going if one particular candy style is essential.
First choose the format you need: gift shopping, in-store indulgence, a tasting, own-brand chocolate or a broader candy selection. Then contact the shop to confirm that the specific product or experience is available, particularly when your visit depends on a tasting or a niche sweet.
