3 visits, 3 stars. Cakefriends was also situated in a convenient location relative to the Hotel Helmhaus. I visited 3 times (twice for a morning coffee and once for dinner and a glass of wine).Tucked just far enough up Torgasse, it's a quaint little spot for light bites, sweets, coffee or a drink off the main drag madness. While its quiet, this also means it misses the sunlight for most of the day, overshadowed by buildings. My first two visits: just fine! Had a cappuccino both mornings while starting my day perched at a nice table by the window. No complaints. Service was perfunctory, but fine. I returned for a light and easy dinner on my last night and enjoyed a glass of wine, small quiche and salad...all just fine, though easy to tell the quiche had been sitting somewhere for awhile, awaiting it's rightful owner. Service was slow and solemn. Strange, this place seems...unhappy. I'm not quite sure why. Not just European removed unfriendly, but...sad. I can't quite place a finger on it! The real reason for 3 stars. THE CAKE. I mean, it's called Cakefriends! The cake should be amazing, no? Unfortunately the "chocolate cake" I received was dry, lacking flavor and overall, very lackluster. The little mousse it was served with was by far the standout, I'd have rather had a bowl of that. I only ate half the cake. This really says something, because I LOVE cake. I'd certainly return for coffee (or maybe even the milkshakes they advertise), but I'd steer clear of the cake! It is not your friend.

In the midst of cobblery Zurich is a hole in the wall. I passed over this restaurant twice before…read morefinding it. The prices are decent and the food appeared yummy as it was being made. A "chill" atmosphere surrounded the restaurant, as one would expect in the area. It took some time for the food to be prepared. The seating was extremely limited which forced parties greater than three to sit separately. A positive was that the cashier brought the food out to diners instead of calling a number. My party ordered a Pomodoro penne, Arrabbiata penne(recommended), and a margarita pizza. As I took my first bite of the Arrabbiata, I had a Ratatouille moment. This was the same type of pasta I got at home! Normally I wouldn't be happy paying so much for a pasta I could get at home, but considering Switzerland isn't exactly a foodie place, I was excited to get good tasting food. The Arrabbiata was definitely a highlight. The margherita pizza was good and the pomodoro was decent. The food made me happy enough to get an ice cream from the location instead of going elsewhere. The ice cream was a minor step-up above normal ice creams I've had in the area. Considering the prices: Food- 5/5 Service- 4/5 Ambiance- 4/5 As often happens, dining isn't only about the taste of food. The Food experience should also make one happy. A rounding of the different factors would make this a 4/5, however, it is appropriate to round this location up and give it 5 stars in relationship to its price

Perfect little outside venue. Selection is ok but perfect ending after a great dinner in Zurich. I…read morehad the mango/passionfruit on
