Zurich is definitely a good place for coffee lovers and if you browse our section eat & drink, you’ll find many nice places where we like to hang out and spend our afternoons with good talks and good coffee.

Nevertheless, we’d like to point out three suggestions for you:

Benzin & Koffein: This new additions to Zurichs coffee scene combines the owners love for coffee and motorcycles and offers wine and food too.

La Stanza: One of the best coffees in town, including real “Italianità”.

Café Henrici: Situated at a beautiful square in the old town of Zurich. They put a lot of effort into picking the right mix of beans and roasting, but also adjusting their machines accordingly.

If you’re looking for Zurich brewed coffee to take home as a present, the traditional roasting facility Kaffee Stoll is your go-to.

We are happy to answer your question, Jaan. These are the three places with probably the best coffee in town:

Café Henrici
Situated at a beautiful square in the old town of Zurich, Café Henrici serves very delicious coffee. They put a lot of effort into picking the right mix of beans and roasting, but also adjusting their machines accordingly. They are really friendly and happy to inform you about their mix of beans, so just ask.

La Stanza
The coffee at La Stanza is one of the best in town. At this real Italian place, you have to try the Espresso, it is heavenly! Many people know that, so it’s no longer an insider tip. But it’s definitely worth a visit.

Markthalle
At this marketplace and restaurant, you’ll find nice local and fresh food as well as one of the best coffees in town. It comes from Zurichs small roasting facility Café Noir and is rather strong. After this refreshment, you might be into some shopping at the Viaduktbögen?
