Coffee Shops &

Tea Houses &

Brunchspots

Stop by to grab a breakfast, get a coffee during your break

or go for brunch on weekends,

Zurich offers you so many lovely Cafés for relaxing and slow down.

Below a list where I like to go and what I can recommend:

Babus

-here-
Address: Löwenstrasse 1, 8001 Zürich
near Löwenplatz

Babus Bakery is a little bit more well known and mostly crowded.

They have a delicious Strawberry-Tart and the waffles are amazing.

For curing your hangover I recommend the "Roastbeef-Bagel" or

"Rösti mit Wiedikerli". It's pricey but from time to time affordable I would say.

Bank

Address: Molkenstrasse 15, 8004 Zurich
@Helvetiaplatz

Bank as the name already implies is located in a former bank building.

In March 2016 the Café & Bakery Bank opened. They serve delicious brunch.

When arriving you receive a small menu-sheet where you can tick the boxes to order.

Bros Beans & Beats

Address: Gartenhofstrasse 27, 8004 Zürich

As you maybe know I am not a coffee-lover, but still Bors Bean & Beats is a lovely coffee shop and they offer more than only coffee.

Bubbles

-here-
Address: Werdstrasse 54, 8004 Zürich
near Stauffacher

Bubbles developed to one of my favourite Brunch-Place on Sundays.

The people there are super friendly, and the food prices are very reasonable.

Order your own dish or use the "Pirate-Plate" to try the food from your mates.

Address: Rennweg 53, 8001 Zürich
@Rennweg

Honold the place to eat breakfast on a Saturday morning with the family is one of my favourite childhood memories. In my opinion they serve the best "Butterbrezel" in the world. Followed by the tasty cheese crumpets and the Birchermüesl with whipped cream.

Kafi Dihei

Address: Zurlindenstrasse 231, 8003 Zürich
near Albisriederplatz

A little more quiet and hidden is the lovely Kafi Dihei.
