Just to mention a few: fresh feta, hummus, shrimps (yumm!), feta mousse, olives oh and so much more. Always friendly staff from the neighbourhood. Go to this Greek influenced place. You'll discover something you'll love so much you decide you can't live without it (in my case dolmades, stuffed wine leaves). Plus you support the locals and not a chain.

I was on a mission to buy chocolates to bring back to the US. I've been to many big Swiss brand…read moreshops which offer pricey chocolates (but worth it though). But in my many travels, I've learned that you'll never know what great treats you can get from local supermarkets, pharmacies, and convenience stores. Snacks, candies, chocolates, unique foods. Coop is a big retailer in Switzerland where you can buy a variety of things. They have huge aisles just for chocolates. Different Swiss brands, lots of different kinds and sizes, and some European brands as well. It can get pretty overwhelming when you have a tiny grocery basket. I picked up some Ovomaltine, Freya, Cailler, coop store brand chocolates (the dark truffles were divine), and Munz. They have self checkout kiosks so you can scan, bag, pay, and go on with your day.

An excellent artisanal brunch in a mellow setting…read more Three of us shared two house-made granola's with yogurt and a Justus Brunch: hot drink, juice, rolls, butter & jam, cheese, sliced aged meats, and eggs (we chose scrambled). The granola & yogurt was excellent (especially the fresh fruit), the eggs fluffy, the cheeses ranging from almost runny to very sharp (there was some debate among the waitstaff as to whether we'd gotten the Sbrinz or Gruyère). In addition, the atmosphere was homey and relaxed --- we felt like we were family friends visiting an old farmhouse, rather than waiting in line for an upholstered booth. The front half of the shop sells most of the same food and ingredients (including real molasses, as opposed to the corn syrup "molasses spread" at some grocery stores). We did notice some of the veggie bins didn't look to have very high turnover --- be sure to check your produce.

I like this place for many reasons. Firstly, this is a good coffee alternative to the Pain…read moreQuotidien chain nearby. It is a mix of a sustainable store within a cafe where you can buy basic organic food either to prepare at home, have some takeaway or stay and sit down at one of the tables. I only had proper lunch once but boy that was very good! It was well spiced and had the taste of "I cooked it with love" in it. So I defenitly want to go back to check out that love flavour again. They usually have one meal with meat and one vegeterian option. Always a daily soup which you may buy to go. They also sell small bakery goods such as cakes, tartes or bagels. They use interesting ingredients, such as brie with some sort of fruit or scamorzza cheese with carrots or beef roast, and much more. They seem to have vegan options, too. Today it was a sandwich with hummus spread. So there is coffee, there is food, nice staff, everything is sustainable but thats not the end of the list yet: the MAGAZINES!!! It is very dangerous for me to sit down and grab a magazine. Because they have a fantastic selection of brain food such as Swiss magazines, newspapers and I always feel tempted to bing read. I just realised: still not the end of the list! There is free wifi. Yes, the world is a good place to live in. STOP! Still not the end of the list: when the weather is warm enough you even can sit outside. Now you're flabbergasted, aren't ya? :) So why not 5 stars? I think there is just a tiny bit of room for improvent and maybe one day I will change it to 5 stars.

Eni is a gas station on the corner of Staffelstrasse and Manessestrasse in Zürich. Conveniently…read morelocated just 3 short blocks from Sihlcity shopping mall, it's a good pit stop right before you get on the A3 motorway in Switzerland. The facilities are fairly new, as this building was just completely rebuilt from ground up about a year or two ago. They stock all the basic stuff you would find at any convenience store, but I also found a large bottle of mango-flavored Lipton ice tea today. So let's see if it tastes better than the regular peach or lemon-flavored ones...

There's no fresh produce but there's several types of cured meats, lots of cereals, milk, cheese, canned goods, lots of beverages, freshly baked bread and pastries, candy, condiments and snacks, etc. it's always maintained by a young worker who keeps the place totally clean. If you're in a pinch on Sunday, you could always grab something here! The petrol is consistently more expensive here than some of the other petrol stations in the area though by about 10 cents or so. I hardly ever see anyone filling up here actually...
