Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So find here where to enjoy a full english breakfast, sweet waffles, the perfect egg benedicte or a mind blowing pain au caramel. So in regards of food theres everything you are looking for. But sometimes you’re not that hungry, so you just want to have a fresh brewed cup of tea or a simple flat white.
Babus
Babus Bakery is a little bit more well known and mostly crowded. They have a delicious Strawberry-Tart and the waffles are spectacular. For curing your hangover, I recommend the Roastbeef-Bagel or Rösti mit Wiedikerli. It’s pricey but from time to time, affordable.
Bank
Bank as the name already implies, is located in a former bank building. They serve delicious brunch. When arriving, you receive a small menu-sheet where you can tick the boxes to order. Next door there is the popular bakery, John Baker.
Bubbles
Bubbles developed to one of my favourite Brunch-Place on Sundays. The people there are super friendly, and the food prices are very reasonable. Order your own dish or use the Pirate-Plate to try the food from your mates.
Café des Amis
A small hide away in the middle of Wipkingen. Café des Amis – Bar et Bistro offers delicious brunch and I can strongly recommend the crêpes. It’s lovely to sit outside with a cup of tea.
Café Elena
A wall full of roses, velvet chairs and marble tables, pure girlyness! Get a smoothies and a bagel to enjoy the afternoon, but they also serve delicious brunch.
Café du Bonheur
Having a great time at the Café du Bonheur. At this place, friends & family from the blocks around come together, which is really nice. Therefore, please note that especially a lot of children will be there.
Cupcake Affair
I stop by sometimes for one of the delicious Cupcakes of this small shop. It offers you a warm welcome with a few tables inside and a bench outside. No matter if you’re in a hurry and take one to go or if you want to sit down, a cupcake is the time worth. Ask for the Cupcake of the day!
Honold
Honold was the place to eat breakfast on a Saturday morning with the family. One of my most treasured childhood memories. In my opinion, they serve the best Butterbrezel in the world. Followed by the tasty cheese crumpets and the Birchermüesli with whipped cream.
Kafi Dihei
A little more quiet and hidden is the lovely Kafi Dihei. As the name already says – it feels like home, actually more like Grandma’s living room. I love their waffles for breakfast with hot berry sauce or a homemade porridge and in the afternoon they serve freshly baked scones.
Kafi Freud
Kafi Freud is a lovely, small and green café, near the university Irchel. It’s a nice place for breakfast in a calm atmosphere. They can even offer you a vegan Gipfeli.
Le Pain Quotedien
I only knew this place from Geneva. But now I am super happy that this place opened up in Zurich.

Kleine Freiheit
Welcome to Kleine Freiheit or translated little freedom. This is one of my favorites in summer, sit outside and enjoy the sun.

La Stanza
Small café who serves great coffee to start perfectly well into the day. Unfortunately, they do not serve tea. However, the pastries are great and I enjoy drinking my orange juice from a wine glass.
Le Raymond
With a nice view to over the Schanzengraben, Le Raymond is a great option for breakfast to start into the day and in the evening the bar offers a great variation of drinks and cocktails.
Milchbar
After a shopping spree at the Bahnhofstrasse, take a break at the Milchbar for a cup of coffee / tea. A delightful place in the heart of Zurich, near the lake, with an outside seating area in the courtyard.
Miyuko
This lovely Japanese touched Café designed by Sara Hochuli and her partner is just lovely. A little pricey, but the afternoon tea can really be recommended, great scones and a lot of nice tea blends. When looking for a sugar rush, one of the cake pieces is undoubtedly the thing you need.
Monocle Café
Monocle creates my favourite travel guides, and now they opened up a Café in Zurich. Enjoy a cup of coffee while reading the paper or figuring out what you should take home from the Monocle store.
Palette
During weekdays, mornings wonderfully quiet. I often come here for breakfast before work as it’s so close to Zurich main station. Palette offers a comfy atmosphere for a coffee or tea. It’s a lovely-designed place and great for having some talks and also for work.
Pension zum guten Glück
Looking for great waffles or pancakes or puffers (mini pancakes)? Zum guten Glück is a café, a bar and a bed & breakfast in the middle of Wiedikon. After a long night out, this place offers you a hearty breakfast to cure your hangover for sure.
Sphères
Bar, Buch, Bühne = Bar, Books, Stage
I mostly go there to be inspired. It has this poetic atmosphere which makes me feel productive. I go there especially for studying and reading.
Venus
Finally a lovely café opened up in Oerlikon. Try one of their delicious Stulle and stay for a while.
