Babu's

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

The breakfast was amazing! I would give the place 100 out of 10! We ordered blueberry pancakes, egg Florentine & hash browns with scrambled eggs! I added this place to my favorite spots in Zurich!

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

Our lunch reservation was for 12:30pm but since I got there early, I hopped into the line for reservations to get my table. Note: There are 2 different lines and if you’re looking to get a takeaway, just head straight to the left line and place your order at the counter. They have a decent sized indoor seating area as well but the weather was great so we opted to sit outside. There’s a QR code on a table which brings us to a drinks menu, however if you scroll down on the page, you’ll see an option that says “view in PDF”, that’s where the whole menu shows up. Once we’re ready to order, we have to go to the counter inside to place our orders. They have a decent variety of brunch offerings and I opted for the Rösti with Scrambled Eggs & Bacon while my friends had the Rösti with Fried Eggs & Bacon and an Avocado Caesar Salad with Bacon and a side of Brioche. Orders came in a timely fashion, however my friends’ salad came without the bacon & brioche and she had to request for it twice before the complete set arrived. My rösti was good, crispy on the outside, however I found both the scrambled eggs and the bacon a little dry. All in all, Babu’s is a lovely spot for a meal with a wide variety of options to choose from!

My go-to cafe in Zurich! Tried their miso pesto portobello mushroom toast - it was a bit too saucy for my liking but great nonetheless. Coffee is always amazing here. They serve lots of other pastries including cakes and cookies too. Pancakes and rostis here are v famous as well. Have personally tried them and would recommend :)

Babu's Bakery & Coffeehouse: A Tasty Treat Babu's is a delightful spot for a casual meal. The star of the show was undoubtedly the chef's new donut - a truly indulgent treat! The avocado toast was generously portioned and satisfying, while the rosti was a hearty dish that left us feeling full. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a leisurely breakfast or brunch. Would definitely recommend giving Babu's a try!

Nice staff taking the orders and family atmosphere. Great vibes in Zurich

Decent bagel and iced matcha latte, nice atmosphere. I did have to wait very briefly for a table, but not long at all. Staff were friendly and the service was quick and efficient
