Gertrude Café in Lausanne

Really warm welcome, everything is handmade. It really makes me want to go back

Everything is homemade by the owner who is really smiling and warm! The hot chocolate and pastries are to die for (special mention for the chocolate-orange muffin)! The service is fast and there is free wifi. I highly recommend !

I was passing through like so many other times and I wanted to know this place. Reviews really help you take the plunge. Gertrude, the boss, even if the first name can be confusing, is a very jovial, friendly, welcoming and sociable young woman. She is also very commercial, knowing how to accept payment by cards without imposing a minimum amount. Network problem? It has its own Wi-Fi. Everything that can be eaten is homemade. I just had a ristretto which was perfectly mastered and tasted good unlike some of its competitors who still struggle with good service. I will return next time, outside of intermittent fasting, to eat something because everything is appetizing here. Next year, it will celebrate its 10th anniversary. I think she will be able to mark the occasion because she is in no way indifferent to the opinions that people have left and to her loyal customers. Well done ...

I blame myself when I miss Buffalo Pie Day! A delight 😋
