    How is this 4.9 and not 5 straight stars?! This gelato is mind blowing. Also highly recommend the Canolo & the parmigiana. Everything I’ve tried here is 5/5. And the service is great too.

    This place is truly incredible. The coffee is delicious and the pastries are TO DIE FOR. Probably the best cornetti I’ve ever had in my life. And the service is very warm and friendly as well. Highly recommend! EDIT: We came back the following day for another coffee because it was that good, except this time we also tried the gelato. I can confirm that it’s the BEST gelato we’ve had so far in Europe. BUONISSIMO!!

    This is one of the most pleasant places I've visited in my travels. It has really cosy atmosphere, and I don't have the words to describe the food and coffee. Best cappuccino I've ever had, along with the tastiest lasagna and croissants. The staff are really nice, warm and welcoming. I recommend this place to everyone who loves Italian food, culture, or just likes a good sip of coffee.

    Best Gelato I ever had! I will definitely come back here again. They are very friendly and nice! Must try the Pistachio/ chocolate and strawberry!

    Perfect place for coffee in Lausanne. Especially if you're looking for a capucinno with plant-based milk alternatives. Loved our soy-milk capucinnos

    The best gelato in town! Chocolate sorbet and pistachio are the must have.

    Delicious creamy ice cream! Even has gluten-free cones and their chocolate flavor is a sorbet (dairy-free) :) super friendly service!

    We had the best experience visiting this little cafe for the first time - what a lovely place and tasty treats of coffee and ice creams. Loved it! Will be definitely returning again and again.

    Bonguston has an amazing vibe and incredibly warm service. I typically get a couple coffees to go and the team is always friendly with me. Cannoli and gelato are both great and give an energy boost. If it's hot, try an affogato.

    Finally I found a place where I can taste the real italian coffee. It's wonderful that in Losanna there is the possibility to enjoy the flavor of Italy!

  • 5/5 Agnieszka S. 1 year ago on Google
    Bongusto Italiano is my favourite coffee place in Lausanne with wonderful cappuccino and the best ice creams in Switzerland; pistaccio flaveur is just magical!

  • 5/5 Edoardo Maria F. 1 year ago on Google
    By far best coffee in Losanna, accompanied by a great selection of patisserie. Friendly and attentive service. My go to spot every time I am in town.

    Very friendly and hospitable - amazing ice cream - best in Lausanne!

  • 5/5 Ana T. 1 year ago on Google
    Bongusto Italiano is one of the places that makes you notice the beauty that lies in details and things done with love. Their sfogliatellas are the best sweet pastry I have ever tasted, both the pistachio and the noisette cream options. Combined with true Italian capuccino and you've got magic! My fiancé and I loved the place and we decided to come back for lunch. The owners are truly kind, humble and sophisticated and they go above and beyond to make their guests feel welcomed. They were kind enough to save us two dishes of Parmigiana and Lasagna for later, both perfectly cooked. I'm looking forward seeing these amazing people opening more Bongusto Italiano locations, because they deserve it. Do not miss visiting this place when going to Lausanne.

    I have passed this place many times and it's always busy. Today my girlfriend and I stopped by and had a cappuccino alongside a pistachio ice cream, and both were the best we've had in Switzerland. The cappuccino was smooth, reminding me of Blue Bottle Coffee, and the ice cream was creamy and pistachio-y :D. The staff was also friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. Highly recommend visiting this place.

👍 I’ve visit this place a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed each one of it. I always choose the same burger though. 7/10. The employees could smile a bit more maybe? I know it’s a hard job but well… smiling is free! I’ll be back 😌
