Café & Conditorei 1842

Café & Conditorei 1842 is an old-school bakery in Zürich’s Old Town, with high ceilings, Baroque décor, and a small terrace. The café is known for its house-made chocolates and pastries, but the hot chocolate with whipped cream is the star of the house — generous, well-balanced, and perfect on a chilly day. You can really feel the history here, from the décor to the timeless menu, making it a favourite for both locals and visitors alike.

H. Schwarzenbach

H. Schwarzenbach is a family-run café in the heart of Zürich’s Old Town, now in its fifth generation. Hosued in a period building, it’s a calm spot to enjoy high-quality coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and amaretti. The café’s own bakery produces daily cakes and pastries, and the cheesecake is a must-try. Attached to the café is the famous Schwarzenbach delicatessen, where you can pick up chocolates and other treats to take home with you.

ViCAFE Bellevue

ViCAFE Bellevue is a tiny coffee spot that often has a queue, and for good reason. The coffee is the star here, made with care by friendly, knowledgeable baristas using beans from around the world. Don’t miss the croi-muffin with sweet rosemary, a local favourite. With several locations around Zürich, it’s an easy stop for a quality coffee while exploring the city.
