La Stanza on Postcard

"Excellent Espresso Near Paradeplatz Come morning, this uber-popular bar among the banker set near Paradeplatz transforms into what just might be my Platonic ideal of what a café should be: sharply-dressed baristas in grey vests and narrow ties pulling lively, fruity espressos from a La Marzocco; a multi-tiered stand of take-as-you-please cream-filled cornetti on the grand marble-topped bar; German- and English-language newspapers hanging from wooden racks; plenty of natural light streaming in from three glass walls; and on a recent Saturday morning, the Rolling Stones playing at perhaps just a few decibels too loud."

The Best Coffee in Zurich

I come here regularly for drinks. It tends to get quite crowded, especially on Thursday evenings, but that’s part of its appeal if you're looking for a lively atmosphere. There’s outdoor seating available when the weather is nice. Overall, it’s a popular spot with a good vibe, making it a good choice for a drink or two

Interesting old time vibe cafe. The coffee was strong and taste great. I had the cannoli dessert, which was average. The staffs were so friendly and tried their best though the place was so busy with seating as well as acoustically. We like the place. Will go again sometimes.

Very rude and incompetent staff. If you want to order you need to ask 2-3 times and the way they speak to the guests is really sad, very arrogant and not guest oriented. Sad because the coffee is really good and the bar nice

Staff is very friendly and kind. They are fast and efficient as well. The place was fully packed when we came in. It was very lively inside. Prices are very average. The croissants were ok, not the best, but good. They are very full of the filling. We tried the vanilla and the jam one. Both were good. Maybe just a bit too sweet. Especially the jam one. The coffee was good. Strong. A bit bitter.

Stylish yet relaxed place with a laid-back Italian atmosphere. On Saturdays when you go there for an Apéro they usually serve home-made pasta along with the drink as appetizer. Sit outside when it‘s sunny or have your Espresso Italian-style inside during winter: standing at the bar. Always crowded, definitely recommend!

Very friendly staff, can be busy on Thursday evenings but is a nice place to get a drink in the summer and also in the winter, if you are able to find a place to sit.

I visited La Stanza just to have a coffee after lunch. I wanted a cappuccino with Oat milk but they didn’t have Oat milk, nor Almond milk nor any other kind of vegan milk which in 2022 is kind of unacceptable. In the end I had an espresso and it was good but a bit pricey. The shop looks old and customer service is not too friendly from my experience.
