Cafe / coffee shop recommendations in Zurich?

Groan removed as inappropiate ..... your avatar just suggests some bloke on a beach... nothing more to me ...

Why? Its freshly ground coffee sealed in pods and then released under 19 Bar of steam. You can obviously taste the difference between Nespresso and a real Italian, but its closer to that than it is to an instant coffee.

Here you got some French Coffee

I agree with you , i have a nespresso machine as well as an italian perculator, coffe from both tastes good. Id reccomend an nespresso for simple convenience and tasty coffee...

I googled this but it seems to be a chocolate shop ? Maybe I am reading this wrong and it is both?

That's the place over the escalator, isn't it?

If so, it's excellent, though not so good since Nicole Kidman's brunette younger sister stopped working there...

It's also open all night at weekends, which is handy.

There's a Sprungli cafe halfway down the Bahnhofstrasse which is full of urine-stained duchesses and gentlemen with small dogs.

As well as coffee and pastries, they also serve the best Coupe Denmark in the Universe.

I love it!

On the subject of camp heaven, there's also the Cafe Felix at Bellevue.

I'd recommend the cioccolata densa... it's not coffee, of course, but who cares?

you're right but at least two of the locations have a coffee house attached, I've taken business contacts there before because it's an institution. Here's a nice sum-up from a travel blog:

Cafe Presse Club? I've been told it's very old-school and good but have never been.

She urgently needs a coffee to pass some time ? So you've been asked and now you're asking us ? For a coffee? To pass time? I don't get it. Is she an adult? We need more information.

BTW, afterwards, let us know where she passed her time and if she'd recommend the coffee...

OP doesnt volounteer info, merely requests it.

yep, right! maybe not that cosy to sit for hours but best coffee around and not served in paper cups plus not that smoked in as spectacolo and the like...

And you get a nice bit of biscuit with your coffee, which is a rare luxury these days.

Hi, just joined EF and look forward to chatting with all of you. I'm a NYC transplant and was wondering if there were any recommendations for comfy cafes with wi-fi where one can (reasonably) work on a laptop for a few hours at a time? That is, without feeling pressured to buy a 5 CHF cup of coffee every 20 minutes or feel ostracized for plugging away on a computer? Terrific coffee and central location (kreis 1, 2 or 8) would be pluses.

Apologies if this thread has already started earlier.

Look forward to your suggestions and thanks in advance!

Starbuck cafe...with WIFI, comfortable sofas and pleasant enviroment

Except for terrific coffee, Starbucks is the only choice you have here.

Cafe Zähringer is pretty cool, good prices and nice products(vegan friendly and organic)

don't believe they have wifi.

Don't recall hearing music being played there on radio/cd whatever but I do believe they sometimes have live shows.

I love bringing people there to close a wonderful afternoon showing them around town. It's really chill/cool and comfortable.

Zahringerplatz 11

They have a date cake that's out of this world!

I am at Cafe Schober most weekdays - for me it's the best cafe/patisserie in Zurich. It's on the Niederdorf.You can sit outside and watch the people - don't know if they have wifi, but I bring my own internet.

I don't know if they have wifi or not, but I can usually be found in the Odeon on my (now rare) forays into the city.
