Once thing is certain: their bread and croissants (which I used to adore in the past) are not anywhere as good, fresh and crispy as they used to be anymore and rather feel a day old. I tried it on several different days throughout my stay and continued to be disappointed. Will try the competition (Baeckerei Voland) next time who happen to sell their fresh and crispy baking goods until 9 am in the train station. PREVIOUS REVIEW What a blessing to finally - after missing it for many years in the USA - finding effortlessly some of the best bakeries/pastry shops when visiting good ol' Switzerland. The Steiner Café - with multiple locations - is just one of many. But the bottom line is, the breads, the selection of breads and rolls, and the pastries are sooooo wonderful and delicious. Why does it seem impossible in the USA to replicate such palate elegance, avoiding excessive sweetness and going for quality/freshness rather than size. Single purchases or full-core brunch - all equally seducing. Leaving a tear behind...!

This is an amazing café/pastry shop, period.

The pastry was so colorful that they didn't even look real and the selection is to die for. You would expect any eatery to be clean but my goodness, the cleanliness of this place really stands out. The staff were friendly happy people and tomorrow morning I am going back!

Was looking for something hearty and inquired about the quiches and opted for the bacon and garlic quiche. Got a latte macchiato as well. You can dine in and the quiche comes with a small salad. The latte macchiato had a layer of foam at the top and seems like they didn't sweeten it at all (sugar on the side) but it was perfect! I usually have a huge sweet tooth and love sweetness but I also can appreciate a good coffee as well, so for a sweet lover like me, the unsweetened version was amazing by itself and the foamed milk combination when you drink it was perfect. The bacon quiche was delicious as well!! They heat it up for you and it's a bacon, cheese with a crusted layer of goodness. Loved my first experience here and I can see myself coming back.

It was within an easy walk of our hotel, so we followed the recommendation. There were four of us and after eating such great food in Paris and along the Rhine in Germany, to be honest we were disappointed. We all had one of their soups. Ms T and I goulash soup and Tom Kha Gai respectively. I had a beer. These soups are not inspired, despite the recommendation. I would classify them as pretty institutional. My Tom Kha Gai had very little of the flavor that you expect. In fact we had a much better version on our cruise boat and the boat is not exactly the place to get great soups. There was very little lime or seasonings. Ms T's Goulash Soup was about the same. It did not taste of the rich paprika flavors it should have. I would classify it as average beef vegetable soup. We liked the little robot that delivers your food, but as for the food, it is OK, but don't expect to be impressed, if you like well flavored soups. And for $50 for two modest bowls of soup and one beer, I would expect better. This is a significant chain of restaurants in Zurich. You are getting fast-food quality.
