Bäckerei Konditorei Mohler

Unterseen / Switzerland

Hand-dipped pralines and truffes plus signature Kirschstängeli

Why it belongs in ORBIS

Run by Roland Abplanalp at Kreuzgasse 4 in Unterseen, Bäckerei Konditorei Mohler hand-makes pralines, truffes and its signature Kirschstängeli cherry candy, with a full bakery, tea room and terrace open six days a week.

Bäckerei Konditorei Mohler runs as a family bakery, confiserie and tea room at Kreuzgasse 4, next to the church in Unterseen, across the river from Interlaken, under owner Roland Abplanalp. The shop's signature is Kirschstängeli — cherry-flavored candy sticks — offered in a traditional version and a Williams-pear variant, alongside Altstadtzwetschgen, plum-based bonbons named for Unterseen's old town. Beyond those two house specialties, the confiserie makes a full range of pralines and truffes by hand, describing its process as carefully selecting and hand-processing couverture and other raw materials sourced regionally or from elsewhere in Switzerland rather than buying pre-made chocolate shells. The business runs a standard full bakery and pâtisserie alongside the confectionery, with a tea room and terrace on-site for guests who want to sit rather than take goods away, open six days a week — 6:30am to 6:30pm Tuesday through Friday, shorter hours Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. For a small-town confiserie, the combination of a defined signature product, a named owner-operator, and Swiss-sourced ingredients gives it a more specific identity than a generic Swiss bakery-café.
