You order from your preferred vendor and then get to sit in the large sitting area in the middle. I have gone to the Nepali and Thai restaurant and would definitely return it was absolutely delicious and pretty big portions! Great for big groups

Coffee, croissant, chocolate - perfect breakfast. Coffees are handmade, not from an automated machine. Was here at opening time as pastries unloaded, so it's clear baking doesn't take place here. Indoor tables, indoor bar (with alcohol), and outdoor seating on a busy pedestrian street.

I ordered Piadine here for lunch, it's enough for one person to be full. The price per plate is…read morearound 9-12 chf for the Piadine (roughly estimate) and I also order Latte coffee here which come with a huge cup. And finished the meal by chocolate cake which is juicy and very tasty, I would say. I really recommend this place for solo traveller who would like to hang out alone as well. The cafe is not so big which you will be comfortable to stay alone.

We knew it is cash only and that it was going to close at 8 pm (Sunday August 27th), we arrived to the shop at 7:45 pm and realized we didn't have enough cash (we think they raised the prices) we went to the closest ATM and came back at 7:55 pm, we approached the counter and instead of a greeting, this lady yelled at us in german "NO MORE ICE CREAM WE ARE CLOSE!) didn't even look at us, toke the ice cream car to the back and shut the door in our face. The ice cream is simply not worth it with this kind of service.

i went eating dinner with some friends on a saturday dvening here…read more we didnt have a reservation but because we came early we still had a place. 90% of the seats were already reserved so its better to call beforehand. Food: pretty good food for reasonable prices! especially right next to the swiss border. Drinks: the drinks are good. unfortunately they dont have that big of a variety but they always tried fulfilling wishes and did it pretty well! i wish they had different kind of gins (standard: bombay) Service: very nice and friendly service. it was a mother and her daughter serving. Atmosphere: it is a little bit in the back of the main street but located in a very nice place. the interior looks very new and nicely done! very clean and fresh! good place to hang out with your friends for something to eat and get some drinks!

No beards, no flannel, no pretension. La C. is a refreshing return to coffee houses of decades…read morepast. One walks in and sees immediately a row of different roasts and blends displayed neatly along the wall on the left-hand side of the shop. In front of the bean selection runs a counter, separating staff from customers, holding various kinds of sweets. The coffee bar, in the shape of a narrow horse shoe, fills the right half of the small shop. At the back of the store stands a regal-looking, brass-fitted machine from which I was served one of the smoothest espressos I've had in some time. Flanking the entrance are floor-to-ceiling, sort of, bay windows each fitted with a small two-top table. -great perches from which to watch the many passersby. When ordering beans to take home, I was asked the usual questions (likes/dislikes, type of machine used) in order to help La C. help me get exactly what I want. Beans and a damn fine espresso for under 12 franks. Merci, La C.! La C., with the tram 16 stop just outside its door, is directly behind the main train station, so it's painfully easy to get to for both out-of-towners and locals alike! Bonus: one can order beans from La Columbiana's website: http://www.lacolumbiana.ch/
