Coffee shops and tea rooms German-Speaking Switzerland

Switzerland is world-renowned for the unrivalled quality of its chocolates, a reputation that owes much to the Sprüngli confectionery in Zürich, founded in 1836. Even today, Sprüngli specialties such as Luxemburgerlis (macaroons), truffles, chocolate bars and other sweets are made according to traditional recipes. Their hot chocolate is also delicious. It's also one of Zurich's favorite places for breakfast, Sunday brunch or lunch.

A passion for coffee, specialised knowledge, roasting methods and different preparation methods: welcome to Früling. The place is simple and uncomplicated, with a clear focus on organic and supporting local producers. Open every day, you can also enjoy several organic and local breakfast formulas. At noon, salads and vegetables, fruits accompanied by fresh juice or lemonade. And on weekends, you can have breakfast all day long without worrying about the time!

The Kon-Tiki in the Niederdorf district gained a cult following in the 1970s thanks to its Hawaiian ambience, Maori prints and cocktails served in mask-shaped glasses. Threatened with closure, it was taken over in 2016 by customers who appreciated the cosmopolitan feel of the place and made a few improvements. The bar is now open during the day. You can grab a snack, buy and consume CBD, attend a jam night or stand up. It's a bar for adventurers and those who want to become adventurers.

Take a moment to take advantage of the atmosphere on the Andreasplatz. This bakery offers croissants ("hell" or "dunkel", white flour or complete meal), treats and drinks; all in organic and fair trade. The wooden table is shared most of the time and the few tables inside are often busy. If there is no room, sit on one of the benches of the square to taste the excellent bakery products. Romantic atmosphere guaranteed!
