A very cute little place, with great Turkish coffee and amazing cakes. The cakes were still warm when I got them. So fresh! It made my hospital visit more pleasant

What a lovely little cute cafe with such a wonderful staff. Super friendly, fantastic coffee and even mega great breakfast and food! Happy to found it, I definitely will return when visiting Winterthur. It is close to Winterthur hospital. Really five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐it has a beautiful cute terrace too, in case you want to sit outside while enjoying your cafe or small food plates.

It's almost criminal how cute this cafe is! The staff is super friendly too, and somehow they keep the interior nice and cool even in summer. Tasty tea, too! (And they have pumpkin spice lattes!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly A++ the vibe.) Update 22.12: How have I never mentioned the food? Julie is a PHENOMINAL cook and her desserts are to die for. Woe betide your waistline if there is still lotus cheesecake available when you're there--but it's worth every bite! I also love love love her soups! Thank you, Julie and Nida, and Frohe Festig!!

Without question, the best cafe in Winterthur. It's a little more out of the way, but it's so worth the 10 minute walk from the train station. The absolute best soups, coffee, and breakfast specialties (like the incredible menemen!) However, what truly sets this place apart is the incredible staff. Some of the absolute friendliest people I've ever met that make you immediately feel at home when you walk through the door. I can't recommend this place enough!
