    We went for a brunch in Saturday and it was packed so make sure you have a reservation. The food was really tasty, the staff extremely nice and it all came very fast.

    Nice to enjoy a nice platter from the neighbouring region. All local and delicious. Highly recommend to book a table, since it is very crowded on all days.

    I come to this place every week cause I love the atmosphere. Great music on a daily basis. Available wifi connection. The staff is kind and they have plenty of yummy options to choose from. The matcha latte and the chai latte are so delicious although the latter sometimes is too sweet. During the weekend the brunch options are better that during the working days (lunch options). Highly recommended!

    Some expectations after all these amazing reviews. Maybe it’s better to go in the morning (for the brunch) instead of in the evening for a drink and food?! The cocktail was so small for 15 CHF! And not so tasty. And food was good, a bit small but ok. Perhaps I’ll try to come once in the morning to try the breakfast. Otherwise I won’t come back.

    Visited this place in july (summer). Very very hot inside. Wish they have at least ceiling fans or something to circulate the hot air inside. Tried poke which is heavily drenched in ginger sauce (i don't like ginger). Coffee latte is average. French toast is nice. Cheesecake is amazing!!!

    Best brunches!! The place is so beautiful and cozy, invites to get in and drink nice coffee! And the staff is nice and attentive too. And last but not at all least... the most amazing pancakes!! So fluffy and super tasty!! The coffe is very good too, I highly recommend to try the gingercchino while it's still available!!

    Had a great Caesar Salad here. High quality beer on tap + an interesting brunch menu. Very pleasant service. It’s a great watering hole at weekends too, but is always very busy, so it can be hard to bag a table

    Wonderful place, great atmosphere, staff very nice and patient. At lunch and until 15pm they serve brunch menu but at dinner I think that there’s a different menu which I hope to try soon. Complimenti, ottimo!

    This is a gem in Lausanne. A place with great atmosphere. The apero here is very good, particularly the stracciatella. It is always the place to go for drinks if there is space. Tried the brunch for the first time today after constantly trying to get a reservation. It was awesome, a rare proper brunch place in Switzerland that actually has mimosa and good brunch items, as good as Swiss brunch place could get. We were very pleased. The pancake can be a bit more fluffy though. Try your luck and hope for some spots if you are going for drinks and make sure you have your reservations in hand when you head for brunch since they don't do walk-in.

    Tasty brunch, though limited choice. Seatings are for just 90 minutes, but food arrives quickly. A couple of errors with the orders but rectified quickly, and service was attentive, even though the restaurant was packed.

    Popular place for weekend brunch in Lausanne, reservations is a must, it’s near impossible to do a walk-ins. Appreciated the attentive service here which was fast and even provided water for my dog. Both the salty and sweet pancakes are highly raved by friends so I have it a try but to be honest, I felt that it was quite overpriced (16CHF) and nothing special…would say visit this place just for the experience and the lively atmosphere, but food wise: it’s not worth the hype!

    Le Pointu is a reliably cool spot for flavorful, creative and filling eats and stellar coffees and teas. It’s favorite of ours. Today, one of the servers - who doubles as the mâitre d’ - kindly seated us at the bar to allow us to linger for more than the 30 minutes we would have been accorded otherwise - because of the number of reserved tables at 11:30 am. What ensued made us even bigger fans of this gem of a place. We learned the backstory of the friends who opened the place. Now we know that the warmth and character we sense every time we visit is rooted in its origins.

    Quite possible the best place in Lausanne for coffee, a healthy lunch bite (see picture), a beer or a nice glass of wine with some local specialties. You will love their friendly staff, the cozy location and the people that go there. If you’re coming for lunch be sure to be there before 12pm or you might find it hard to find a spot.

    Loved the place.. coffee was amazing and the desserts were heavenly (apple crumble and chocolate Madeline). It is quite a busy and popular place so to accommodate everyone the seating can be a bit tight. Tables are quite close to each other.

    One of my favourite brunch spots. Great vibe & delicious food!

  • 5/5 Galactic V. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible drench toast and the flat white is really good too. The atmosphere is chill but it's quite crowded. So if you consider going there on the weekend in the morning better try to be the first one there

    The place has a nice vibe. Pancakes were very good but the eggs Benedict were quite small (but tasty despite having no avocado)

    This place is one of my most favorite places in Lausanne. They offer good food, polite friendly and flexible service to their customers. The place has a nice vibe and the food presentation and plates are nice. Ingredients are fresh while food is not overpriced, what else can you expect from a dining place? I hope they keep up their good work 🙂 A must try place in Lausanne for both food and drinks. I just at times wished they could offer alternative menus during different days of week to expand the variety of dishes that are offered.. I have passed this place for brunch… it’s quite expensive for having brunch their and the menu is not as interesting as when you go there in the evening

    Very great brunch place!

    16/09/2023. Horrible service! For what I understood a waiter called Alex was totally disrespectful. I arrived at 21:43, empty room inside Pointu and perfect for a drink with more 4xfriends. We waited until 22:12 to be served while both, barman and this Alex were playing, dancing, making jokes and laughing behind the balcony… the most disrespectful thing was this waiter telling us to wait when he looked at us and he continued playing around with Pointu empty of clients to be served, even outside. When finally we were being served, guess what? “Kitchen closes at 22:00, sorry guys!”… a total joke situation! Not the best experience and hope a future higher standard waiter to serve next time, or maybe not.
