chiosco da Claudio in Lugano

Owner is nice and has a large selection of drinks and snacks. Nespresso coffee + lounger to relax with a view 🤩

The “Mayor of the Lake” Claudio runs a small kiosk on the lake next in the center of town. This is a place the locals know and tourists stumble upon. You can’t find a better beer with a better view. At any given time you might find politicians, local celebrities, tourists, soldiers on leave, partygoers, or families, just passing by to have a quick drink and maybe a little chat.

good refreshment place on the lake

Always very friendly and unbeatable prices

The owner is nice but touchy (once a month). Best aperitif in Lugano.

Coffee was fine and the guy was nice and friendly.

Nice coffee made me fall asleep

When it "runs" well in the summer it ignores the service a bit.
