We had an excellent cappuccino with oat-ly milk and a delicious muffin to take away. They were out of lemon and cheese cakes by the time we arrived but we will try them next time. They look amazing. Can’t wait to come for brunch once restrictions are over . The owner was lovely . She told us they’ve only been open for 1 year and... what a year. We will come back to try the avo -toast and the cakes !

Wonderful coffee drinks in a warm, cozy atmosphere. Wood and stone is beautiful and staff is friendly. They make great vegan flat white and cappuccino with oat milk. Rich and tasty espresso. By far, the best vegan coffee drinks in the area! I even prefer it to most of the hipster espresso bars in Zürich. Although the vegan food options are quite limited, I did have a poke bowl lunch that was great! (Variety of fruits and vegetables over rice)

I haven't actually eaten there, but just want to note that this place doesn't serve breakfast despite what it says in the description. I enquired there on Tuesday at 10:30am and was told the food doesn't start being served before 11:30. So lunch only.

Stopped by with some friends and had their ravioli, some prosecco and coffee. I would give them 5 stars based on service alone, but the food and drinks were definitely worth 5 stars as well. We had a great time and would for sure go back!

Coffee here is exceptionally good. The place has special warm atmosphere, feels like home! Also enjoyed the meals. Baba is a great host with her team, felt very welcome when I visited. This place is worth visiting even from a distance.
