This stylish coffee shop opened in July 2024 to great fanfare in the Wiedikon neighborhood. The interior is gorgeous, with luscious curves along the bar and lighting. It’s a small space, appropriate for a Cappuccino chat but not a work meeting.

Their coffee is excellent, but the Matcha and Hojicha lattes are my favorites. They are made with a bit of white chocolate, giving them a slight sweetness and wonderful mouthfeel.

Their baker specializes in Shokupan (Japanese milk bread, popular in Zurich at the moment), which are preciously packaged in cute little bags for takeaway. They also have banana bread and surprise specials.
