Everything here is delicious and close to perfection. I'm not through Joe's entire menu yet - that…read moreproject is a work in progress - but feel confident in making that statement. Juice bars are on the rise, and I have found a number of very good ones in Lucerne and Zurich so far. But Joe has very quickly become my top spot. All the drinks and juices I've had here, I don't think I've had better anywhere else. And the prices tend to be noticeably lower, too. Starbucks can keep it's overpriced, watery thing they call an Iced Latte from now on, they've got nothing on Joe. And his coffee shake is probably the pinnacle of cold, milky coffee drinks, with some coffee beans blendered in to top it off. A dream! Apart from juices, smoothies, shots and shakes, Joe also offers great coffee, tasty and freshly prepared sandwiches, and more nourishing drinks with muesli that I imagine would work very well as a breakfast to go. The location is a bit hidden, on the upper floor of the train station, and I hope that word of mouth will be able to compensate the reduced visibility of being tucked away up there, next to the railway ticket office. The decor is very nice and elegant, though. I like their image and design a lot. It's a very nice place to have a little break, and you have access to the balcony looking down on the railway platforms, if you fancy. All the staff I encountered so far were very friendly, glad to elaborate on the menu, and seemed genuinely motivated about working there. Discovering Joe & the Juice was a very pleasant surprise, and I really can't think of anything to criticise. Two out of the four times I've visited so far, other customers made it a point to pass by the counter before they left, to tell staff how good it was. This is not at all a common thing in Switzerland, but that's how good Joe is. I recommend it wholeheartedly, and hope that the franchise will expand further and get to mix up the Swiss juice bar market a bit.

Beautiful city, beautiful weather. Outside was crowded so we opted for the restaurant. Gorgeous inside, old school European hotel flair. Great views from windows on the second floor!

Although I specifically asked for a filter coffee with milk, what I ended up with is a cappuccino, which I really do not care for - too much milk. The black forest cake was a bit stale as if it had been in the cooler from the day before. It also did not have much taste. So all in all, it was a bit of a disappointing visit. The interior is cute. Small bistro tables and chairs as well as some window seating and tall stools at the bar. The space is small and if it were full, seating would be tight. There was a lot of outdoor seating but being a cold, rainy day that was out of the question.

Yelp Review 2026 #91:…read more Heini Conditorei is Luzern's very own. I've loved all the conditoreis I've been to in Switzerland. But Heini did not deliver. I had breakfast here which was my first meal in Luzern and it was not a great start but it wasn't terrible either. There wasn't very many places open before 7am in the area. So, Heini it is! Many locals come here reading the newspaper while drinking coffee before going to work - like people still read actual newspaper! I love that for them! The ladies behind the counter were pretty friendly. After looking at the options behind the glass case, we made our selections. Shepherd's Pie: The crust was thick, dense and dry. It was more like a savory tart. I ate the middle part and left the pie crust part. 2/5 Chicken Champignon Pie: This was also mostly crust but it wasn't as hard and thick as the shepherd's pie. 3/5 Luzerner Festtagstorte/ Luzern Festive Cake: From their website: "A delicious chocolate biscuit, filled with a truffle cream, delicately sweet raspberry jam, and nougat flakes". It wasn't too sweet. The flavors were very mild. I didn't get much of a chocolate taste that I assumed this cake would have. 3/5 I should have just stayed with the quiche. I went to another Heini location to get chocolates. They have them here too but I didn't want to start my day lugging chocolates all the way to the end of the day.
