Babu's

Really nice atmospheric cafe in the centre of Zurich. It was doing a roaring trade when we visited on a Thursday morning around 9am. The staff were extremely friendly and the service was prompt and effective. The coffee and the breakfasts we had were all delicious and worth the money. Bookings are recommended but we got lucky and got a table with a short wait. We’d visit again the the future.

Everything we had was absolutely delicious! All the details are very well thought through. If the line is too long I would recommend doing takeaway they do a great job packing and making it still a good experience. Overnight oats was my fave - no sugar but just perfect balance of healthy & sweet. Some other great options: Hash brown poached eggs / Mushroom toast / Kale cucumber juice / feta herb scone / carrot cake Must try!

Definitely worth the visit, even without reservations they managed to accommodate us. The place is cozy and spacious, service is efficient, food is fresh baked daily and with great selection, I tried a veneziana and an oat latte for which I paid less than 11€, veneziana was fluffy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside with just the right amount of custard cream, the oat latte was also tasty. Very pleasant breakfast.

Friendly welcome and staff. Great range of high end very fresh baked goods. Good menu. Great coffee.

Really enjoyed this brunch spot. We didn’t book and didn’t have to queue for long. Quick service, the coffee was reasonable. And my overnight oats were 10/10! Looking forward to recreating it at home. Thankyou!!

The bottom line - The total experience was good and I would go back. The atmosphere - I really enjoyed the vibe of the place, noisy but fun. It reminded me of back home in NY. The outside is covered by scaffolding but when you're inside It's unnoticeable. The staff - Some seem happy to be there and some seem miserable. But they were all helpful even when they looked like they hated everyone. The food - Visually everything looks amazing, the flavors were also good for the most part. *Nuss cookie/cake- I did not like. Tasted like dates and in the description there was no mention of dates. I HATE DATES. *Celery apple cucumber juice was delicious. *Bagel w eggs, cream cheese, bacon was also good. I wish they had everything bagel. VFM - I would say it's ok but could be better. Mostly for drinks or small snacks. The rest are pretty big portions so the price point is ok. Tip - It's possible to reserve tables. *Laptops are allowed (although I'm not sure about their policies in the matter. I was there on a weekday and had no problems using it). *I was told the focaccias are a must. Menu attached 25/09/24

A very popular and busy cafe but unsure if worth the hype. Ordered the hash brown with salmon which cost CHF 26 (I'd say this is fairly average) but found the hashbrown a bit lacking in texture. Extremely hard and crunchy around the edges and a bit gluggy and dry on the inside. Needed to ask for more cream cheese as the tiny dollop seemed a bit disproportionate. Smoked salmon was fresh and highly recommend the gingerbread latte although the gingerbread was hard and bad horrible texture. Waiters were okay - couldn't clarify the wifi password to download the QR coded menu and found the staff at the till quite impatient not just for me but serving others. Would recommend trying but unsure if it's a must visit during your trip to Zurich

Lovely place for an authentic brunch experience. Prices are quite high even by Zürich standards (expect CHF50.-/head) and tables are only available for 2h. However the brunch served on the Étagère makes a difference! A go to place for a cosy experience and great food
