Cafe des Avenues is one of my favorite "go to" places. It's one of the few places I feel I can go…read morewith my children (or just my laptop) and feel welcome. Friday nights: I've come here quite often with friends and a group of children and they have always been very accommodating and welcoming. There's a seating area with couches and coffee tables for the children to relax in after the dinner is over and while the adults linger over their wine... Not too long ago, there was a football table for kids and adults alike but some bad mannered children killed the fun for all when they tried to score extra balls by stuffing the exit hole with paper. It was a sad night indeed because it seems that the cafe owners have decided not to repair the table. Weekend brunch: Be sure to call in advance to reserve a table for sat or sun brunch because Cafe des Avenues buzzes with activity during the weekends. THe brunches are popular for families. Serving american pancakes, crepes, eggs, bacon, omelets....this place is as close to home (gastronomically speaking) as I'm gonna get. Weekday: With the exception of lunchtime, the cafe is quiet and the perfect place to get some work done. During the week, you will find the cafe scattered with people working on their laptops, sipping their cafe or tea and nibbling on a croissant or one of their excellent goufres.

I had the tartare de boeuf avec crostinis. I had the beef a bit spicy, which is exactly how I wanted it, not overpowered with spice, but just enough heat to feel each bite. both of us were happy with our choices, and hope to come back soon. I will add that the kitchen will not open up until 6:30, as with most cafe's and restaurants here in Lausanne , but you can have a few drinks and talk while you wait.

Yelp Review 2026 #159:…read more After checking leaving our backpacks at our hotel next door, we grabbed breakfast here. It looked promising because there was a lot of people. They have a nice assortment of sandwiches, pastries and sweet treats. It's a casual cafe that has about 8-10 tables. Locals reading newspaper while having a quick breakfast, and tourists. We got quiche and Nutella cannele. You can ask for your sandwich or quiche to be heated. The quiche hit the spot. The Nutella cannele was a sweet ending to the salty bacon from the quiche. Fleur de Pains has locations in towns along Lake Geneva. With that being said, don't expect artisanal products.

Located just in front of the railway station, its not just in general the perfect place for a break, but especially while wainting for your train. Maybe bot the cheapest option, but definitely worth a visite!

My husband loved his food, too and his cappuccino. The only thing we were undecided on was the French toast. It was good, but maybe a 3.5/5. The service was great - we did have to wait a bit but it was understandable as the worker was the only one there. That morning was rainy, cold and windy but it's on a decent street corner where you can people watch. You definitely have to try this place out if you are in town :)
