    Gay-odin

    Not so much a chocolatier as an institution, Gay-odin concocts some of the city’s finest cocoa creations, including oh-so-Neapolitan chocolate ‘cozze’ (mussels). For a punch to the palate, try the chocolate-coated coffee beans or the fiery peperoncino-cioccolato (chilli-chocolate) combo. This branch also sells Gay-odin’s creamy-licious gelato.

    Antiche Delizie

    Hanging hams, succulent salami and the best mozzarella in town: this legendary deli is the perfect picnic pit stop. If it’s Friday, don’t miss the heavenly caprignetti (goat’s cheese stuffed with herbs). Otherwise, taste test the provolone del Monaco (a cheese seasoned in wine cellars), pick up some prêt-à-manger antipasto or furnish the cellar with a bottle of local Greco del Tufo.

    Mézes Kuckó

    Mézes Kuckó is the place to go if you’ve got the urge for something sweet; its nut-and-honey cookies (200Ft per 10dg) are to die for. A colourfully decorated mézeskalács (honey cake; 400Ft to 750Ft) in the shape of a heart makes a lovely gift.

    Café Sprüngli

    Sit down for cakes, chocolate and coffee at this epicentre of sweet Switzerland, in business since 1836. You can have a light lunch too, but whatever you do, don’t fail to check out the heavenly chocolate shop around the corner on Paradeplatz.

    Café Niederegger

    Café Niederegger is Lübeck's mecca for marzipan lovers, the almond confectionery from Arabia, which has been made in Lübeck for centuries. Even if you're not buying, the shop's elaborate foil-wrapped displays (many of them maritime-themed) are a feast for the eyes.
