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 cafe is located a bit outside of the center of Appenzell and definitely worth the walk. It is located on the other side of town as you walk towards the Appenzell factory. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I was wanting a great cappuccino and not just an espresso. Finding a great barista in Switzerland is not always easy. Here they know how make coffee drinks, and do it well. They also have a whole selection of amazing looking yummy treats to have with your coffee. This was a nice place to enjoy reading my book while having a cup of coffee and a sweet snack.
