    Probably the most delicious (personally) coffee in town; i never take my americano without sugar but here i do. Flat white of my friend « most beautifully presented in their whole life ». The cheesecake, made by the wife of the owner, is *divine*, per opinion of several people not just mine. It’s velvety, sweet but not too much, with herbs for added depth. To have this place open on Sundays where Lausanne tends to be dead - luck ! The only minus - things could be less expensive. But i guess good things cost good money.

    New coffee place in town! Two minutes by feet from the train station, the place is super cozy and the best part is that coffee is roasted on place! Great coffee, amazing staff, and very nice atmosphere! And they have Friday / pie-day, home made and suuuuper tasty! Amazing discover and new favorite place in Lausanne! If you love coffee, this is the place!

    This spot is a true city gem and one of my favorite places in Lausanne. Super cozy atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff, fantastic coffee! Plus, they've got some very tasty treats - the cheesecake is a star! Thank you for such a wonderful place full of great flavors and a gallery with inspiring exhibitions :)

    Coffee: I ordered cappuccino, creamy and the coffee is SUPER tasty like I honestly never had a better cup of cappuccino in a while . Atmosphere: quiet with some nice music in the background Staff: very kind and patient Conclusion: So sad that I live 1 hour away from this coffee shop đŸ„Č

    I paid a visit to this rather recently establishe café, owned by a photographer, for the opening of a photo exhibition featuring my old friend Vinent Jendly's work on the high seas. The career of the owner explains his interest to expose other photographers, a great initiative. Unfortunately i did not have the oportunity to taste their different varieties of coffee; that will be for another time.

    Really nice coffee and pastries, friendly staff and warm artsy atmosphere. The cappuccino temperature was a bit warmer than I would prefer but it was not too warm. Strongly recommend!

    Stopped in here on a Sunday and it was exactly what we needed. Quiet, no electronics on the weekends. The coffee was absolutely spot on. The barista was very educated about the coffee and was pleasant to chat with. The vibe here is perfect for some solo time or one on one with a friend or loved one. Wish we had more of these places in the Denver area!

    Best coffee I’ve had in Europe since we arrived 4 weeks ago! Incredible knowledge of coffee techniques and warm, inviting atmosphere. We purchased some coffee beans for a friend and tried them the next morning, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! đŸ€©

    By chance we found this small and beautiful place in Lausanne. We did enjoy our tasty espresso and cappuccino very much. The owner was very friendly. He knows how to get the best out of the coffee fruits.

    Finally a coffee roaster + coffee shop combined in the center of Lausanne! The quality of the coffee is incredible and the owner is extremely welcoming and passionate! Add to that a great rustic décor to seal the deal. Absolutely recommend!

    Thomas the owner probably gave me the best service you could ever have from a coffee shop! Was Looking for the correct beans for my new barista coffee machine.. his recommendations were by far very helpful and even provided a small coffee tasting experience so I can decide for the correct beans! Merci beaucoup! Come and enjoy tasty coffees here

    One of the best coffees in Lausanne! Homemade pastry and cookies are delicious! I tried the lemon poppy seed cake. The owner was very friendly and was happy to speak in English too (big plus!) The place is small with a few tables to catch up with friends/work. Very cozy!

😠 It was a really sad experience for us. The server mistreated us from beginning to end. Ignored our calls, let us waiting between pizza and dessert for more than 40 minutes, always speaking to us in a angry tone. In the end we didn’t even ask for dessert because we really felt mistreated so we left....
