Its atmosphere balances a bustling city feel with a friendly, approachable service style that suits locals popping in for a quality espresso as well as visitors settling down for a relaxed breakfast or light lunch.

Regulars appreciate the aromatic, well-crafted cappuccinos and the crema-rich oat milk mocha that dispels any doubts about its coffee amidst its bar offerings. Breakfast here leans toward simple yet thoughtful plates, with buttery croissants noted as some of the best in Zurich and piadina topped with Bündnerfleisch standing out as a savory option that pairs well with their carefully brewed coffee.

Arrived for breakfast a bit skeptical because all the alcohol options made me think they might not do coffee well, but I had a delicious oat milk mocha … and the croissant was the best I had in Zurich (I had my fair share). It was soft and buttery. my husband had a croissant sandwich and really enjoyed it too. Our server was helpful and pleasant! We would recommend!!

I ordered the breakfast 1 and 2 and enjoyed them completely. You could get slightly cheaper options around this vicinity but the quality of the food we ordered was top notch and therefore didn’t mind the price. Host was super hospitable and friendly. - - I ensure all my reviews are posted only after ensuring there are no food safety issues the next day - -

We liked this cafe a lot! Very friendly waiters, fast service, tasty food and coffee. Cappuccino was aromatic, without bitterness, jasmine tea was real and fragrant. Piadine with melted cheese and ham paires great with coffee. Yes, it is expensive, like everything in Zurich, but it is a money well spent.
