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.

Yesterday (night of friday to saturday) I had a bad experience with the bartender. I wanted to order another round when the bar was just closing so that was no longer possible. Okay no problem. But then I asked if he had a socket so I could charge my phone for a moment. I wanted to take an Uber home but my phone was dead. He looked at me arrogantly and waved me away. I don't understand at all why you would treat a guest that way. Really ridiculous and very customer unfriendly.

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.

Very cool vibe and good coffee but extremely slow service unfortunately, not for the first time even tho the place was not at all full. There were times in the past when I was standing at the bar for 15min and nobody even asked if I ordered already because the staff was so busy entertaining each other. Maybe the staff could be better trained to focus more on customers… This was very different a few years ago, it was known for quick service.

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!
