Trained Chef with Care Responsibilities for People with Mental Disabilities

About the job

Café & Conditorei 1842 is located on Napfgasse in the heart of Zurich's Niederdorf. The name derives from the founding year, when the baker Johann Georg Eberle laid the foundation for today's café with confectionery by opening a sweet shop. Over four floors, our guests are treated to homemade cakes and pastries, delicious apple strudel, coffee and tea specialties, the popular hot drinking chocolate, a lovely breakfast and lunch menu, and much more. Additionally, the listed shop offers the finest chocolate products, seasonal treats, sweet gifts, and small meals.
