Wanted to try this “hidden” place in a long time, and today I got a to go coffee (flat white). This is such a cute place! The coffee was the best that I ever had in this neighbourhood, the service was super kind, and the atmosphere was really great. The food looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it next time. Thank you! :-)

If you visit Zurich, you have to make a stop to Kafi Paradiesli! It’s everything you can imagine it to be. Lovely quiche and salad, the key like cheesecake was fabulous. I wish we could come back many more times.

The best cappuccino. The space inside is small but adorable and cozy. I sat outside with a blanket and the atmosphere is 10/10. The girl working was so kind and helpful!

I loved the relaxed and cozy outdoor space. Very charming cafe. The inside was also super cute and definitely a great place for a coffee or lunch. Super friendly service! The food was good. A simple menu and simple homemade cakes, but delicious. The coffee was great as well.
