Konditorei Caredda The Seductive Art of Baking

For over 20 years, the Italian pastry shop Caredda in Kreis 5 has been enchanting connoisseurs of the finest baked goods with its handmade pâtisserie.

Here, the homemade varieties of aromatic amaretti, filigree-made marzipan fruits, as well as delicious aragoste and cannoli siciliani will surprise you with their wonderful airy cream fillings and gossamer yet crispy puff pastry.

In the middle of Zürich the unmistakable sunny taste of southern Italy finds its way on our tongue. The true artistry of baking becomes evident while standing in front of the display case in awe and admiring all of the Neapolitan and Sicilian specialities made with the utmost precision.

The Caredda pastry shop is also extremely popular for their exceptional cakes. Cakes for every occasion, whether for a wedding or a big birthday party can be ordered, with chocolate or vanilla flavour, mocha, lemon or wild berries. Beautiful decorations made of sugar flowers and individual text, make each cake unique.

Paolo Caredda and his team are already the seventh generation demonstrating their expertise in southern Italian patisserie. A café is also part of the shop, where you can enjoy fresh pasta and Roman salads on weekdays and as take away.

Classics such as 'All'Amatricana', Bolognese or Carbonara are served here, as well as pasta with an extensive selection of different sauces. Whether with lemon and mint sauce or with artichokes, with gorgonzola and pine nuts or simply 'Olio Aglio', everything here tastes perfectly of Italian flair.
