    A staff member at our hotel suggested that we go here for an afternoon coffee, and it did not disappoint! My friend and I got two cappuccinos, which were absolutely delicious. The inside was kind of small and busy, but there was a nice little outdoor section to enjoy your drinks. All in all, it's a wonderful coffee and drinks spot in this area.

    At Ride2Coffee we are picky with the places we share, but this was a no brainer. The coffee is amazing and the interior decor throws you back a century into a social gathering place where the prettiest people in town come together. See more information on http://bit.ly/R2C-LaStanza

    La Stanza supposedly makes the best cappuccino in all of Zurich. I haven't had enough cups to compare, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Bold espresso, quality Swiss milk, and foam so thick you can spoon it up & eat it! In addition to Italian coffee drinks, they also serve wine, beer, cocktails, and small pastries. The narrow bar which extends far into the back is quite stylish with large windows allowing lots of light into the high-ceiling room. Take a spot by the wooden window benches, at one of the tables, or by the marble-topped bar, and enjoy your beverage of choice!

    Cappuccino - the best in Zurich!
    May C.

    There are at least three places established as coffee/drink shops within the proximity of a street from La Stanza in Zurich, and one of them is what do you know, Starbucks! If you want real Italian style coffee, then come to La Stanza. It is one of the best in Zurich you will find. The atmosphere is simple - inside there is a marble stand where you go and order your drinks. The waitstaff are young, interesting and friendly. In terms of semantics, please don't come here to order a coffee. It's Italian style - order a cappuccino or if desperately seeking a kick start to your day, a doppio espresso. In the morning, most people, whilst still lingering in their 'morning mood', come here for their 'coffee' along with this delicious looking Italian style pastry filled with cream. You'll also find the 'coffee' crowd here after lunch, but in the evening people are here for wine and mixed drinks over a quick chat. The after work crowd appear to draw mostly people affiliated with the nearby businesses which are predominantly banking related. If the weather is nice, it will also attract a crowd outside either sitting or standing on the streets. This place is a coffee shop for people who hate finding themselves in a typical boring coffee shop - a paradox that was even deserving for the author Malcom Gladwell (famous for his writing of "Blink") to write about La Stanza, along with a handful of other coffee establishments in other cities, in a Wall Street Journal article. Need I say more? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704147804575455923448456324.html

    I wouldn't necessarily come all the way here for a coffee, especially since they don't serve coffeee! Yes, you heard right. Try ordering a freaking kaffee creme. They'll tell you the closest options are espresso and cappuccino. I hate this TC (too cool) crap. It's like the places that don't serve ketchup because their food is so above that. What's wrong with a kaffee creme? It's less adulterated than a cappuccino, what with all that frothy milk and all! Anyhow, service is decent. It's a classic Parisian/classic American-styled cafe/bar.

    My boyfriend and I were in Zurich for Easter weekend and were on the hunt for a great coffee shop…read morewith an awesome vibe. We were lucky enough to find a place that was open over the holiday weekend, and even luckier that this is the place we found! The owners of this cafe (I'm sorry I didn't get their names) are so sweet, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers and the products they are serving. On our first visit, we ordered a single shot of espresso, and it came with a delicious macaron. They told us where they buy their macarons, and explained that it came from a nearby bakery that only uses Swiss-local ingredients in their products. The espresso and the macaron were both absolutely delicious! The next day we were again on the hunt for coffee and immediately went back to this cafe, rather than taking a chance and finding something we didn't like. The owners remembered us from the day before, and were interested in hearing how our trip was going so far, and what else we had planned. We made the same order as the day before, and they told us today's espresso was different from the day before. Today's espresso was Kenyan, and the day before had been Latin American. Maybe I got that backwards, but either way, we enjoyed listening to the description of the different tasting notes between the two roasts. We also shared a beer, which of course was a Zurich-local brew. The vibe at this cafe is very fun and relaxing. It is located inside Seven Friday, as it is a pop-up cafe. They also serve Pho and Bahn Mi but we did not try that.

    Very cute cafe in the middle of Zurich. It is a great place for coffee or breakfast. We went there…read moreon a Saturday morning and it got busy very quickly. The tables are small and it may not be easy to have all your food on one of them. We had eggs (over easy) and an omelet with Latte and hot chocolate. The food was great and came out at a good pace. It was a great experience.

    Yelp Review 2026 #47:…read more Cafe & Conditorei 1842 is "Zürich's oldest cafe". This place is a conditorei (has a sit down area to enjoy pastries and sweet baked treats) and not a confiserie (take away truffles and candies). They claim to have the best hot chocolate and I would have to disagree. They do have good desserts to pair with their hot chocolate. The building its in has been around since 1824. The bakery opened in 1874 but the cafe didn't actually open until March 2019 so, the name is misleading. They have indoor seating and also patio seating in front or in the back. They have smoothies, milkshakes, matcha, cold brew options, sparkling wine options, ice cream, patisserie items, and brunch food. You have 6 options for their hot (or cold) non-alcoholic chocolate: classic, with marshmallows, with whipped cream, with chili flakes, with a shot of fresh ginger, with a shot of espresso; or 4 alcoholic hot (or cold) chocolate options: rum, amaretto, Bailey's or Grand Marnier. Passion Fruit Panna Cotta: Nice balance of bitter dark chocolate and tart Passionfruit. The panna cotta was creamy and soft. Dark chocolate holding everything together. I love Passionfruit and chocolate combo. 4.5/5 Chocolate Mousse: You can't go wrong with anything chocolate in Switzerland. This has white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate, and cocoa nibs at the bottom. Great creamy texture. Pillowy like marshmallow. 4/5 The Classic Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream: Underwhelming. I've had better hot chocolate somewhere else in Zürich. It's a step up from Swiss Miss. 2.5/5 The Classic Cold Chocolate with Whipped Cream: The same as what was mentioned above but the cold version which is lukewarm. 2.5/5 Service was good though.
