Great Matcha - Calming atmosphere This is a small oasis in the city center: You are literally sitting between plants having a coffee. The lady behind the counter was super kind and the drinks were great! Only the cups for matcha are a little small. I will definitely come back :)

A cute cafe with a nice atmosphere and nice seating area. Friendly staff. The selection of pastries was very limited when we visited and it looked a little dry and sad. But I can’t judge on flavor since we didn’t get one because of appearance. I tried to Magnolia latte and it was quite nice I’ll fortunately they didn’t have toilets available for customers when we went to visit.

Such a cozy little spot with great vibes! I loved their matcha latte super smooth and not too sweet, just perfect. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere made it easy to just relax and enjoy the moment. Definitely a place I’d come back to for a peaceful coffee break.

I love the atmosphere. In the middle of crowded city like Zurich, I still can find nice place like here. Lots of flowers and plants. The Macha latte is great. Not too sweet. If you like strong cafe, try latte macchiato or just cappuccino. But I love the chocolate torte. Amazing taste, mix between sweet and salty. You must try!

Highly recommend! We are a coffee loving family and this was the best coffee among all that we drank in Zurich (that's why we came twice haha). The interior is lovely as well as the staff. And the cinnamon bun - better get one before we come back for them ;)

Discovered this cute botanical cafe (opened by a group of expats) a welcome addition for students looking for peace and quiet to study, or tourists who wants a coffee break in the middle of Zurich Old Town. Surrounded by calming, beautiful plants and with a very distinct local touch: coffee beans are single origin from Stoll (a local roastery in Zurich). Particularly like that the coffee here is not the typical sour acidic coffee but more Aussie style: nuttier and fruitier in flavour. The Magnolia Latte is their signature drink and worth trying too. They collaborate with local artisans to showcase crafts and artworks too. should spend time checking out the shelves. The CANDLES here are seriously worth getting, comes with different scents, named after unique flowers (Edelweiss) and swiss mountains (Pilatus, Matterhorn) and I think makes for the perfect souvenir, inexpensive for swiss standards. I can highly recommend the schneeglöggli candle (swiss “snow goose” flower) and it smells HEAVENLY)

I visited the cafe on Friday. It was very quite and cozy to relax and have a peaceful time to read and drink coffee. Just the perfect cafe of my preference. And also people there are friendly. If I was living in Zurich I would go here almost everyday
