Ich kam für einen kleinen Zwischenstopp vorbei. Super Service und auch der Matcha Latte mit Honig war genüsslich. Für einen kleinen Besuch komme ich gerne wieder vorbei.

Excellent café, the best coffee spot in town. A very wide (for Switzerland, that is) selection of coffee, tea-based drinks, alcohol if you feel extra relaxed today. Pastries and light dishes, such as bagels are also available, all fresh and delicious. The prices are very Zürich-like, but the place is still quite busy throughout the day. The interior is cozy and warm, making it for a fine working environment - large amounts of those using their laptops here clearly shows. The toilet is present and is shared with the adjacent bar (Guarany). Staff are very friendly and professional. Worth of visit.

Such a wonderful atmosphere to start a new brand day with! I will be back here soon for the new cup of Latte Macchiato mit Aroma! Thank you very much to the friendly stuff for the lovely morning and super tasty coffee and cookies!

Einer unserer Lieblingsplätze in Buchs. Ganz einfach, weil es hier feine vegane Speisen gibt, die von sympathischen Menschen serviert werden. Auch das Getränkeangebot weiss zu gefallen. Und hier gibt's den besten Flat White mit Hafermilch, den wir je getrunken haben. Einzig die Aussicht auf die Flaniermeile ist nicht sooo prickelnd.

Nice coffee and food. I very much enjoyed my Dirty Chai Latte. The staff is friendly and the place very cozy. Definitely one of my favorites coffee places in the city! :)
