Collaborations

Edelbrand

Created in collaboration with Edelbrand Pure Distilling, a family-owned and operated distillery located in the heart of Missouri who produces single-batch spirits made in the Swiss tradition. These Brandy-Soaked Cherry Bonbons are made using their Artisanal Cherry Brandy. Cherries are immersed in brandy, surrounded by cherry brandy fondant, and encased in a Swiss dark chocolate shell. Available during Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day seasons.

Five Farms

A chocolate collection made with Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur, sourced from five family-owned farms in Ireland and imported in nearby Weston. The Irish Cream Liqueur has become the exclusive of its kind for drinks served in our café as well as the quintessential addition to our truffles and caramels. These Irish Cream Truffles + Caramels are available during the St. Patrick’s Day season.

Green Dirt Farm

A collaboration with local cheese maker Green Dirt Farm on the creation of a seasonal quiche with a decadent savory and sweet flavor profile. Inspired by the traditional Swiss dish, Älplermagronen, we’ve combined their alpine style Aux Arcs cheese with blanched cubed potatoes, caramelized onions & roasted apples. The Alpine Quiche is available seasonally in January/February while supplies last.

J. Rieger & Co.

A partnership that began in 2015 when our own René Bollier, André’s grandson, collaborated with Andy Rieger, great-great-great-grandson of Jacob Rieger of J. Rieger & Co. Distillery. What started with the creation of one confection with chocolate and whiskey has grown into several products that incorporate core spirits from the fellow multi-generational, family owned, Kansas City-based business. Items in the J. Rieger & Co. Collection are available at André's and J. Rieger & Co. Distillery year round.

Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

Inspired by iconic works of art, we’ve collaborated with The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and The Roasterie Coffee to create a series of custom chocolates & coffee blends for an all-encompassing sensory experience of food, drink, and art. Ranging from calm to dramatic, these products emulate a ballet of ingredients to coincide with each world-class art piece, curated to enliven all five senses. Enjoy a concert of chocolates and coffee alongside the corresponding art to be transported to the world in which each artist created. These Art Inspired Products are available at André's and The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art while supplies last.

Q39 Kansas City BBQ

If you know Kansas City, you know we love our BBQ. To celebrate our deeply-rooted and slow-smoked local food scene, our own René Bollier has teamed up with Executive Chef Philip Thompson at KC favorite Q39 to create the ultimate BBQ-lovers quiche featuring Q39's succulent Certified Angus Beef Brisket and Classic BBQ Sauce. The Q39 BBQ Quiche is available at André's seasonally in October/November while supplies last.

The Roasterie

We have a more than quarter-century partnership with The Roasterie, a Kansas City institution that is as steadfast in sourcing and roasting high-quality coffee as we are about our offerings. Their coffee is an important complement to our product line as, what’s a fine confection without an equally stellar cup of coffee? Our collaborative product offerings are listed in our Roasterie Collection.

Sel des Alpes

Two of our classic products received an upgrade with the addition of one of the world’s purest salts, straight from the heart of the Swiss Alps. This clean alpine salt has been protected by rock from deep within the mountains where it has remained for over 200 million years. Now, extracted using spring glacier water and hydroelectric green energy, it adds the perfect savory kick to our sweet Swiss-style confections. View details in our Sel des Alpes Collection.
