It was a snowy cold day and I was in need of a warm drink and a sweet bite to eat so I headed to Cafe Deco. From the outside, the cafe looks like it would be quite spacious, but once inside the actual cafe section on the right side of the space is tight and small. The left side of the space is filled with antiques for sale. I loved the ambiance of the place as it was very cosy with the antique theme. The place is made up of mostly two person tables, that could be put together for four people if you have a larger group. There is also one very large table in the middle that different groups of people were sitting around. I arrived at 1:30pm, and the place was crowded. I took a seat at the one spot at the large table that was open between two sets of other groups that were there together. If you plan to come here with more than just yourself, then definitely call in advance to make a reservation. There were only two ladies serving everyone, so the service was on the slower side, but friendly. They both spoke a bit of English which was a bonus.
I wouldn't recommend coming here for lunch. I read the review of someone who came here previously and would agree with them that for the price you pay the quality and quantity of the plates doesn't meet expectation. However, I would recommend coming here for one of their home made desserts, and a tea or coffee. Which is exactly what I did. For 8.50 CHF you can enjoy one of their desserts, all of which you could tell were freshly made recently. I chose the apple cobbler which reminded me of my grandma's speciality back home. It was delicious. I enjoyed this with a coffee which was also good. They also have an assortment of loose leaf teas that you can try if you aren't into coffee. They offer breakfast here, which might be interesting to try sometime.
