Many specialty grocery stores exist, but this is your best option if you're into tea, coffee, dried…read morefruits, or chocolates! The store is roughly divided in half. Facing the building, the right half is dedicated mostly to tea and dried goods with a few other items thrown in. The left half sells specialty chocolate bars and coffee. If you're from the states you'll find those chocolate bars and other items surprisingly cheap. It's worth browsing just to see and smell the selection of this classic shopping choice. Staff is helpful and does speak English.

This feels like it is right out of a store from Harry Potter, classic, old, and chock full of history. Overwhelmed with an assortment of what to buy, we only walked out with a beautiful container of Sea Salt. Somehow when it is offered here versus at Coop, it seems more decadent, even when it is the same product. This establishment stands proudly amongst other alluring businesses in the old part of Zurich. You must step inside the doors of this beautiful store, as it is truly a gem located in the heart of the city. Don't miss it.

We grabbed a coffee here during our stay in Luzern. This is a cozy, charming, and quiet cafe. We…read morewere able to talk to the owner who told us his story, it was a pleasant exchange. The coffee was strong, as coffee should be. They have lots of seating are which is nice.

They roast their own organic coffees, they serve baked goods and more. It's right next to the train station. Cool place to hang for a while and enjoy a good coffee and atmosphere. Wish it was open early in the morning to later in the day.....perhaps sometimes.

The sunny day in fall is great for a lunch break at the Rösterei. It features tables at the sun as…read morewell as inside. The lunch Curry was a choice between vegetarian or meat - served with a salad on great dressing. Yes, they also offer other salad dishes and some deserts. Both the Salat bowl and the passion fruit and youghurt desert were very good. After lunch I took the chance for an update on barista tools and caffee. Since the Rösterei is run by Blaser Cafe, who is a fairly big roasting company in the buildings nearby, I can stock up on cafe (Lilla et Rose blend) when I am here for lunch. And judging the Cappucino served in midst of the lunch rush, it would be worthwhile attending their local Barista training... Always a pleasure to have lunch here, even for lesser coffee lovera...

Great coffee location in Bern! A bit outside of the center though. Easiest way getting there would…read morebe on bus to Güterbahnhof, from there it's a 7' walk. Always busy since they are great in speciality coffee. They roast the beans right in house and are very conscious about the sources. I got a pour over which did not let me down! Prices are pretty low since it's in Bern. There's a little shop aswell, where you can buy all kind of coffee gear, coffee beans.. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, clean space and free wifi. I imagine that it's beautiful in summer, since you can sit outside. One of my to go places while visiting Bern.

A group of handpicked Elite Yelpers met at the ViCAFE close to Bellevue for a coffee lovers…read moreworkshop. The ViCAFE is indeed a tiny place and consists basically of a counter and a front window, no seating whatsoever. Ramon and Simon of ViCAFE explained that the concept was coffee-to-go and nothing else, but this at the highest quality possible (ok, they sell also some soft drinks and smoothies but that's about it). Roman explained to us that the Vi in ViCAFE comes from Vita but is also a reference to Vivi Kola, the soft drink company they are a part of. It goes without saying that the ViCAFE people source their coffee beans directly from the producers. This means some travelling to remote places but also guarantees that the best qualities can be selected. The beans are shipped to Eglisau where they are roasted in their own roastery. Coffee is a very delicate and complex commodity and can even be spoiled by the barista if not treated correctly. It is very important the the water runs in the exact speed through the ground coffee. If it is too fast or too slow the taste gets either sour or bitter or both at the same time. Simon's demonstration on this was quite impressive. After all the theoretical and practical introductions to the world of coffee we could also try to be a barista ourselves and prepare our own espresso, ristretto and cappucino. Even some latte art appeared magically on the capuccino's foamy milk - with a little help from Simon. Many thanks to Christina for organizing another joyful and informative event!

Newspapers, free water (don't laugh, it's common in Switzerland for places to charge you for water!) and the staff was super welcoming. Coming from San Francisco, we're kind of spoiled with our coffeeshops and it's not easy to find places with a barista that make coffee art and where the coffee rocks. We finally found our togo coffeeshop and are also gonna check out their second location nearby where they roast. We had a latte (they call that caffe latte or schale, loved it, a cold brew, and delicious pastries).
