I'm so happy that this new place has opened in Horgen. I was looking for a good coffee place here for a long time and finally it's here. The coffee is actually really good and the staff is super friendly. I will definitely come here often.

Very good atmosphere. And tasty food. You will not see the picture of the soup, because I couldn't stop while eating it. ))

Great café and concept store. Friendly, helpful and top service. Excellent coffees, the aroma from the coffee alone draws you in. Along with our cappuccino and expresso we took a “rustico” and “laugen” croissants. They also have a great soup menu plus a really interesting deli. We will come back for a lunch soon as they have a good range of options on their menu.

This café is such a cozy and welcoming place! The atmosphere makes you feel at home right away, and the staff is genuinely kind and attentive. The coffee is excellent, probably the best I’ve had in a long time. I haven’t tried the food yet, but just by the way it looks, I can already tell it must be delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back 100%!

This is a really nice, friendly cafe and a welcome addition to the Horgen downtown area. We are regulars here. The coffee is great and there are plenty of options in terms of hot and cold beverages. There are cakes and pies and desserts, and most of them are vegan-friendly. They also have soup in the colder months and a gelato stand in the warmer season. I really like the fresh Pinsas they make in particular! All in all - would recommend this place highly.
