Andre's Confiserie Suisse

The overview

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.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Andre's Confiserie Suisse cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
