Note: this review is only for coffee service at the bar…read more I've been a few times already to the bar of the Markthalle resto for a cafe crema or two and a schale. The schale is akin to a bitchin' latte a la 'third wave coffee' and, three times now, I've been very happy with both the flavor and the appearance. If you're a bit of a coffee snob, and wandering around the Markthalle (trams 4, 17, 13/Dammweg stop), then order a Schale at the bar. You'll probably be happy that you did so! During the day, there usually only seems to be one person working the bar (which is of fairly decent size) that also services the floor, so you may have a wee wait when ordering your drink.

Really unique find in Zurich during my travels. I was tired at looking at bougie and $$$ shops so…read moreI'm happy I was able to see this hidden gem. This place has small interdependently owned shops so each step you take brings you to a different shop. There is everything for everyone! There were cheese shops, Italian food, beer/liqueur, a restaurant in the back, small bakery, a section of teas, cheeses/dried meats, fish market & perfect if you wanna take a small trinket home. The night that I came in they had a small band playing in the front so it had a nice ambiance to the space. I strongly recommend to visit this place, and don't forget to bring a large bag to put in your new goodies!

Well, I challenge those with a low tolerance for 'ick' to find anything wrong with this particular Caritas shop. It's tidy, funky, inviting, and has an attractive, if, however, rather narrow selection of items for adults. I was impressed with the children's selection. Parents would do well to shop here! For those keen on donating articles of clothing, accessories and shoes, there is a large, red Caritas drop-off 'box' around the back of the shop at your disposal. Also fun: the window displays are ever-changing and well-arranged.

So naturally I ventured in and was in awe about all the signs they had an mostly fairly reasonable prices for what it's worth.

I'm not going to be that jackass who pulls the 'yeah, I was into Freitag back in the late 1990's'…read more Instead I've only been buying their products for the past ten years. Am I still kind of a jackass for writing that? Probably. Anyway, I've recently had the pleasure of visiting the 'mothership' Freitag shop here in Zuerich. I've only ever visited the super bitchin' Hamburg shop that, in the spirit of Boxpark in LDN, is housed in a large freight container. Of course, Freitag sells at other shops around the US like Flight 001, a shop I used to frequent on Berkeley's 4th St., but going to the source and having a good poke around has a certain satisfaction. I went with the hubs a few days back and perused the wallets. They have at least three different types plus a credit card holder resembling a small bi-fold. The wallet model called 'Miranda' caught my eye as it seemed to be built especially for a the mounds of change that one accumulates here in one's pockets. It was ungodly expensive (I'm embarrassed to write how much, but let's just say it was purchased for me as a birthday present as that's the only way I could marginally justify the cost). Beyond the tarp/seat belt/bike tire concoctions, Freitag have branched out into quite fancy-looking women's shoulder bags and totes. I am impressed by their ability to render tarpaulin-made objects into something so refined, but I didn't dare look at the price tags for these Park Avenue-looking wonders. The structure of the shop is a marvel made out of a cluster of freight containers. -get a gander of this wonder as you pass by on the train coming into town. I found the service at Freitag to be fairly casual; the shop assistant who dealt with me was quite warm and friendly. After a bit of struggle trying to understand her 'rein' Dialekt, I mentioned that I hadn't caught all of what she'd said. 'Ah! Sie moechten, dass ich Hochdeutsch rede?' Yes, please. And on we continued.

We were on the hunt for a wardrobe as flats don't seem to have a lot of closets, if any at all, and found a sizable amount on the ground floor of Brockenhaus. I'd say the prices ranged anywhere from 300 to 1000 CHF, depending on quality and such. While we didn't purchase anything given that we don't yet have a flat, we 'filed' away what we would like when we do have a place to put it in, so, Brockenhaus, we'll see you again!
