BEL-AIR COFFEE | Specialty Coffee Shop & Take-away in Lausanne

Nice coffee and drinks in a cosy ambiance N.B.: no washroom

This place disappointed me with dry and very mediocre patisserie. The woman at the counter didn't even know the ingredients in the cakes, which is essential for allergy prevention. On top this place doesn't have washrooms.

Very high end espresso. They know what they are doing and they do it extremely well.

Lovely place with very good specialty coffee options. It has natural light and is very quiet on weekday afternoons. The music is very good, not noisy at all. Fast and friendly service.

Friendly and knowledgeable owner. Always a great variety of beans to be purchased. The only third wave coffee store in Lausanne. New staff woman is so stressed and not friendly

Super friendly and very good coffee!!

Coffee so good I had to get another right away. Easily one of the best flat whites I’ve had outside of Melbourne

Great place. Drank my coffee before taking the pic

Best specialty coffee experience in Switzerland. Go there to discover superb varieties of coffee. Friendly and knowledgeable owner and baristas will prepare you the desired perfect brew. André will introduce you to new roasters from around the world and especially from Scandinavia as often as possible. André is a real coffee curator! Enjoy!

Best coffee in town. They take their coffee seriously

café located in a small alley, hidden from the noise of the main street, excellent coffee of very good quality and a small, significant bonus, the barista was very nice! we will come back with great pleasure :)

Great place, wonderful coffee and very friendly staff! I highly recommend the place!

Small cozy place, hidden between buildings. I had a Cortado with oat milk and the taste was one of best coffee i had in Switzerland as so many places serve very mediocre coffee. I was really happy with this smooth Cortado, slight pleasant bitternes and well brewed by the lady barista 👏

EXORBITANT prices. A cortado (1 shot) is 6.50 CHF without discount to take away. I recommend Coffee Page, Ça passe crème, and Port Franc. They have more affordable prices and the coffee is better.

Small and cozy coffee shop in a hidden corner of Bel Air area in Lausanne.

Very nice matcha latte. The area is small (only 6-7 seating) so higher chance for to go order.

The coffee was delicious though! It turned out there that you can't bring a dog in. That wouldn't have been a problem. They said I could ask for coffee on the street. After a long wait, they brought it out and I paid by card, which was only good after several attempts. (I asked him if he accepted it? He said yes.) I set off, and after a while the waiter ran after me to say that the machine was not good again, so I have to go back because that's the only place with bluetooth. I had to hurry and that's why it was annoying. I don't usually write negative reviews, but it was an unpleasant situation that with the coffee in one hand and my 3-month-old puppy in the other, I tried to pay by card in the cold for several minutes because the machine didn't work on the street instead of at least being allowed to pay.

Excellent specialty coffee selection and great pastries!!! We had a great time and left with suitcases full of coffee! Thank you Cindy for the exchange!

Super nice little cafe with a killer line up of coffee. Baristas are always super nice and helpful. Me and my friends often hang out here and I think we will be a regular 🤣

I loved this cappuccino, with vegetable pea milk 🫛 (surprising, and yet sweet and delicious), and this succulent cardamom roll. A very pleasant place. Thank you again for these tips and explanations on choosing coffee ☕️

Amazing Coffee and perfect service! If you go to Lausanne you have to try Bel-Air coffee!!

You decide for your self if come there . For me it is very nice.

Loved it here! Great coffee, great cake and very nice barista.

A must visit coffee heaven in Lausanne! I wish I lived here, so I could visit every day! 😍🙏🏼❤️

It's one of my favorite coffee shops in Lausanne. The small size makes it easy to meet a friend for a good coffee, and their selection of coffee beans is big and always changing.

Amazing selection of beans among the best in the world, beautiful location and vibe, personally the No. 1 coffee in Lausanne. Also recommend the amazing selection of specialty chocolate.

Super nice, very small cafe, hidden in a courtyard. The cappuccino was very good. The ambience is great. Very small and therefore not much space. The three of us were there for breakfast on Monday morning. Unfortunately, the pastries (cinnamon rolls, cardamon pastries) were not fresh by any stretch of the imagination. That was disappointing.

Great place for filter coffee! Wide selection of beans to choose from. Andre and his staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable about the coffee served. Great pastries and chocolates as well. A very nice quiet nook in the middle of town, perfect for a coffee break, a definite recommendation for specialty coffee lovers!

Calm little place, good coffee and lovely service

Good coffee, exceptional service!

Best coffee in Lausanne with a weekly rotation of beans from renowned roasters! Though a victim of its success, a certain crowd misunderstands the space as for working even doing online meetings..

wonderful and kind staff, delicious coffee ☕️

Amazing customer service, very kind and delicious drinks 😊

Great little cafe and super positive staff. The coffee was delicious although a little too sour to my taste, which was later adjusted for my 2nd coffee.. which means please check what beans they are using and the taste it will give. I haven’t rated the food highly as I have certainly had much delicious cinnamon roll. Surely a must visit for coffees and a little work. They have message allowing you an hour if you plan to use your laptop. I had a Cortado which was the sour one but I later had an amazing flatwhite. In terms of direction keep an eye out as it is inside a lane..

Excellent coffee and great service! It’s always a pleasure to spend time in such a quiet and peaceful place. They serve decaf coffee too :)

The atmosphere is great here! You don't get stressed and can enjoy your coffee in peace and learn at the same time.

Amazing speciallity coffee, best latte I’ve tried so far since many months!

The cake and coffee are perfect! Super quality, well done to the owner! Coming from a merchant at Valentin in Lausanne.

Very quiet place, in the city center but well isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, good coffee and very friendly service.

What an amazing cosy café in the heart of Lausanne, that’s tucked away in a hidden spot. Coffee is one of the best in town and barista is friendly, and plus point - away from the busy and noisy crowds.

THE hidden gem 💎 specialty coffee ☕️ shop in Lausanne. Perfectly central location, yet quiet and nice backyard to relax. Spectacular coffee choice and great explanations of origins of taste. Don’t miss to try the Kombucha as well. Various pastry options as well, all rounded with great service !

quiet and comfortable place. staff is so friendly🧡 today I ordered a cappuccino and cinnamon roll. both are great! will visit again🥰

Wonderful place with wide selection of beans. Nice espresso and hand drip.

Best Match Latte and Chai Latte in Lausanne !!! It's a very cozy cafe at the center of the city, we love going there !

Great small cafe in downtown with nice atmosphere and delicious matcha cookie. Very nice staff. I really recommend this place!!! :-)

Excellent coffee, chai latte and awesome service.

A super and cosy coffee place with super good brewed and espresso coffee using specialty beans, with a touch of Scandinavia in the design, style and pastries, including the kardamumma bulle!

Amazing coffee and very cozy corner of Lausanne. Definitely best place in town! They really know their coffee

Sensational coffee, very cozy and beautiful atmosphere. The friendly barista will give you super interesting information about the roasting, taste and preparation of the coffee :) Great! The insider tip for Lausanne :)

The place is small and homely, quiet and elegant on weekdays, crowded on weekends. Our request:- - Flat white oat milk (3.5 out of 5). - Cardamom babka (5 of 5). - Banana Cake (2 out of 5). - Flat White with vanilla plant milk (5 out of 5).

We love love love the long black and cappuccino. Whatever beans you put in there it is just simply 💯 the cakes are also divine, I love the jasmine pistachio ❤️

Cosy and nice place. The specialty coffee is great. The people from there are nice and friendly. They also have delicious cookies and cakes. I totally recommend them ☀️☕️

It is the best coffee in Switzerland!!! The milk foam is a heaven! Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere, it's nice, super quiet, just to drink very varied things. Personally, I love the Tchai Latte, incredibly good, all in a magnificent setting and above all, very quiet, super personal Cindy, etc. and her colleague, a super nice, pleasant gentleman. a kind blond English gentleman besides all English speaking French perfectly well...cool me I love and am not the only one besides this place and often very very busy, normal impeccable place far from the noise and everything magnificent I I seriously recommend it to you....have a good evening and have a good weekend...

Nestled in a small interior courtyard, this café is worth the little detour. Very well prepared coffee in the “third wave” style. The barista owner is experienced and very kind.

One of the best specialty coffees in Lausanne. We tried a filter coffee, an espresso and a cappuccino and it was all great. Definitely recommended, also for the professionalism and kindness of the waitress.

Very quiet and pleasant place to have something warm with a bun.

Best coffee in Lausanne, period.

Amazing coffee and very cozy atmosphere!

A very quiet place with very good specialties. Thank you for the welcoming

The best coffee in all city of Lausanne!!For the one who will appreciate single origine and high coffee quality!!Also the choice of special chocolates and kombucha is just outstanding.Great place and the owner is really kind and ready to answer on all of your questions.

I thought I had already rated it, but no! One of the best cafes in Lausanne, its owner demonstrates his passion for the world of coffee in each preparation. Every time we have gone, they have treated us great, in a very cozy atmosphere, with a very refined decoration. 100% recommendable.

Very cosy space with amazing coffee ❤️

Great service and perfect flat whites.

Great coffee, always new varieties to discover, very happy to have a place like this in Lausanne. Always friendly and excellent advice!

One of the best coffee experiences in a long time, darling. I can only recommend it to every coffee lover.

Great coffee, nice quiet location. Would recommend

Love this coffee place, it’s small but cozy and coffee is good and pastries delicious 😋

I’ve always thought going to a coffee place that serves its own toast was best but this place has changed that completely. You literally get the best of the best here, a choice of many top roasters and an ever changing selection. The baristas do an awesome job and it’s a super cosy friendly place. Will visit again if in Lausanne.

Very nice spot for specialty coffee lovers. Both espresso and cappuccino were amazing. The barista is very friendly and speaks multiple languages. Definitely recommend for visiting when in Lausanne. The location is just right: quiet corner in the center of the city.

I recommend this place for good quality coffee! The cortado is excellent. The welcome is super warm.

It is a bit hidden but it gives a pleasant and quiet atmosphere. The cafe and pastries are both very lovingly made and very tasty! Cafe is particularly recommended!!

Excellent little discreet café :) to work quietly in the heart of Lausanne with a Scandinavian atmosphere and fabulous design 😭✨️

The BEST Cappuccino in Lausanne, so far… Relaxing place and very good service. I’ll definitely go back 😃

Nice place for good coffee, nice selection of coffee. A welcome at the top. And very good pastries.

Nice coffee, good milk alternatives

A nice little cafe for specialty coffee. I loved the sweet babka with cardamom and the chocolate cake 👌🏼😋♥️

The latte and sweet are just perfect

Flat white 6/10 Black Coffee 3/10 because it has a flavor and smell in the coffee breath that I don’t like Fast The place is small once It is not comfortable for the session Their dessert and curry options are few

The coffee tastes amazing, especially flat white. We thank the crew for the hospitality

If you are a coffee lover, then I advise you to go to Bel-Air Coffee! They serve a very good Scandinavian-inspired coffee that you can enjoy in the peace and quiet of their small coffee shop with a refined style (it’s not just the coffee that is inspired by Scandinavia) or to take away! The café is located a stone's throw from Place Bel-Air, in an interior courtyard. If you can't find it right away, that's completely normal!

Best speciality coffee in the area! They have an amazing selection! If you love great coffees, you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend!

Coffee taken very seriously, served with friendly care, in a perfect location that is central but in a quiet courtyard

Delicious coffee served by very knowledgeable people. Highly recommend for coffee lovers.

Fabulous cafe. I was so happy to find this spot.

Always very welcome and we feel like home! Little extra for pastries! Great place for specialty coffee.

Small but very nice place. The guy who runs it speaks English and French, is very kind and friendly. He sells many types of coffee and knows how to guide you in purchasing. Cappuccino and desserts are delicious, I will definitely be back!

Great variety of specialty coffees and delicious espressos! I tried to come here every day during my visit to Lausanne.

One of the most beautiful and professional specialty cafes in Lausanne. I highly recommend it

Coffee was amazing. The place is cute and cosy. The stuff is friendly and knows English 😉

Great coffee and friendly staff

Best specialty café in Lausanne. Not only is the selection expertly curated - with something for everyone (including some rare and special off-menu coffees 🤫) but the staff are highly trained and super nice And there's always vegan cardamon or cinnamon buns!

Incredible specialty coffee in Lausanne - rotating selection of the best Swiss and international roasters, plant-based milks, pastries including always a beautiful vegan selection... And above all a warm welcome 💖💖

Very friendly English speaking staff. Fantastic coffee with multiple milk options. Nice food too!

The place to try award-winning and rare specialty coffees from reputable roasters from all over the world. Plus you can enjoy deliciously made cakes and pastries. If you love coffees, this place is a must when visiting Lausanne.

Nice little place to enjoy a specialty coffee nestled in a quiet courtyard despite the proximity of noisy streets.

Best specialty coffee bar in Lausanne and the only one where they know how to prepare an authentic flat white. Great variety of coffee beans, and cosy and quiet place.

Must go if you are in Lausanne. The coffee is exceptional, pastries delicious. Owner super nice. They have many Scandinavian coffee beans which I love them. Don't miss this cafe!

The best coffee I have had in Switzerland by far. The owner is knowledgeable and you can tell he loves his job. Plus he speaks English and German as well as French.

Perfect flat white and pastry. Amazing choice of coffee beans.
