We love this charming café right off the for Bahnhofstrasse shopping street. I often meet friends here for a morning coffee or after work drinks.

Their quiet courtyard is a lovely place to escape the busy shopping streets. On chilly days, you can warm up inside and admire the courtyard from the tall windows that let in all the light.

In the mornings, they have a nice assortment of freshly baked pastries from local bakeries. I like their fresh ginger tea and the kids like their hot chocolate made with Lindt chocolate. In the afternoons, we like their generous meat and cheese apero platter, which is a perfect accompaniment to a refreshing spritz.

What to drink: classic hot chocolate with cream (or fresh ginger tea)

What to eat: apero platter
