Ordinary Man | Coffee - Food - Art in Lausanne

Without doubt my favorite café in Lausanne. Relaxed atmosphere, we feel a bit like home! The coffee is very good, of high quality and is roasted on site. The delicacies are incredibly good! The boss and employees are very friendly and can advise according to tastes. In addition there are often nice photo exhibitions.

Best coffee place in Lausanne. Thomas roasts his own coffee, which he responsibly sources. All the desserts are home-made and delicious. The atmosphere is lovely, never noisy, always chill and friendly. Thomas and Carlos are amazing baristas and serve extraordinary coffee and the best vibes! My Stammcafé ❤️

Small, intimate café, discreet and pleasant pop music, friendly and attentive waiters. I recommend.

This is exactly what I expect from an establishment specializing in coffee, passion! from the baristas to the chef, they love what they do. The service is impeccable and obviously I find their coffee very good. The atmosphere is healthy, relaxing and the artistic touch that the place offers by offering photo exhibitions is super pleasant. You come out with a smile. (Photo enthusiasts you have to go there)

Super nice coffee in Lausanne and very good coffee to drink and dessert e.g. cheesecake. Super nice staff and it was nice for us to get to know you Thomas. We'll be back 🫶

Eat well, welcome, what more could you ask for 🤣

Small and welcoming. Would wish it was in my neighborhood!

A bit expensive (I think I paid 6.80 for a Latte?) but honestly one of the best coffees I ever had. Thanks, will visit again!

Tasty coffees, incredible croissant! We loved tasting the cappuccino.

Best cappuccino I've had in Lausanne!

Very cozy, and super strong coffee like in Italy

Very cozy café, superbly furnished. The coffee there is very strong, a bit like Italian.

a very pleasant space. specialty coffee

Stopped in here on a Sunday and it was exactly what we needed. Quiet, no electronics on the weekends. The coffee was absolutely spot on. The barista was very educated about the coffee and was pleasant to chat with. The vibe here is perfect for some solo time or one on one with a friend or loved one. Wish we had more of these places in the Denver area! Hey Ordinary Man..we found your twin sister/brother in Denver. Blue Sparrow Coffee!! Come visit when you are in Denver, CO, USA!!

The coffee was divine - highly recommend!

top espressi, Brazilian or Ethiopian. nice place with a small photo exhibition. top notch service! 👍🏻

A Wonderful, rich flavored cup.

Most amazing flat white I've had in Lausanne. Friendly staff and cozy place, definitely recommend! Flat White has a very nutty and sticky milk flavor and uses coffee beans that are stronger in flavor than acidity, so the flavor is good and goes well together.

Awesome coffee, location and atmosphere

beautiful place, refined. Hot chocolate with a real chocolate taste!!! delicious. I recommend it as a little break from shopping.

Quality coffee roasted on site, always friendly service, very very good pastries, in short a place to visit regularly!

Amaaaazing team and the best coffee I have ever tasted. Very cozy place

I paid a visit to this rather recently establishe café, owned by a photographer, for the opening of a photo exhibition featuring my old friend Vinent Jendly's work on the high seas. The career of the owner explains his interest to expose other photographers, a great initiative. Unfortunately i did not have the oportunity to taste their different varieties of coffee; that will be for another time.

what a great discovery - delicious coffee creations, top service!

We stumbled upon this café one Sunday afternoon while looking for shelter from the rain. We loved the place: the decor is great, with a photo exhibition in progress. The service is great, the team lovely. The cow's milk hot chocolate tastes great and served in a large, generous mug. The cheesecake was our favorite, with its thyme infusion (incredible! Never seen that and super good). Brief. We recommend <3

Great atmosphere and art to accompany a great coffee !

Small (very small) and cozy café halfway between the station and the pedestrian area of ​​Lausanne. It's nice to have a hot drink in a quiet place!

Delicious coffee in a very pleasant setting with top service! Thank you 🙃😋

Coffee: I ordered cappuccino, creamy and the coffee is SUPER tasty like I honestly never had a better cup of cappuccino in a while . Atmosphere: quiet with some nice music in the background Staff: very kind and patient Conclusion: So sad that I live 1 hour away from this coffee shop 🥲

A small, cozy place where you can taste great specialty coffee, probably the best in Lausanne! The staff is super nice as well.

This spot is a true city gem and one of my favorite places in Lausanne. Super cozy atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff, fantastic coffee! Plus, they've got some very tasty treats - the cheesecake is a star! Thank you for such a wonderful place full of great flavors and a gallery with inspiring exhibitions :)

Super place for a coffee I make a point of visit when im in Lausanne. Excellent service great coffee And super cakes The staff and owner take extra care of everyone and great coffee advice too. You won’t be disappointed:)

Ejected for tablet viewing. Good coffee nonetheless

The coffee is super good, it’s a pleasure! Super friendly staff too! The only (very small) negative point is the Lebanese lemonade, which is excellent, is perhaps a bit expensive.

Really nice coffee and pastries, friendly staff and warm artsy atmosphere. The cappuccino temperature was a bit warmer than I would prefer but it was not too warm. Strongly recommend!

Super wholesome place for specialty coffee

Small, quaint place. Best flat white I have had in a long time. Pain au Chocolat- also very good.

Warm atmosphere, impeccable service and the setting is original. A place not to be missed in the Vaudois capital!

Great little cafe, expert on the subject! We would perhaps have liked the lists to be a little wider. But we adapt and we understand that we no longer have coffee at 6 p.m. ;)

Amazing coffee, anazing cheesecake and friendly service. Love this place. The only negative is that it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. :)

By far my favorite café in Lausanne (I'm from Lausanne)! Always a top-notch welcome, coffee roasted on site, delicious and perfectly balanced, always impeccable service (latte art, glass of water and presentation on point) and above all, a very central and cozy place. The pastries are homemade (<3 carrot cake) and just perfect croissants (French style). I go there at least once a week :)

Best coffee I’ve had in Europe since we arrived 4 weeks ago! Incredible knowledge of coffee techniques and warm, inviting atmosphere. We purchased some coffee beans for a friend and tried them the next morning, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🤩

Cozy place with nice aesthetics and extremely good coffee! Employees are friendly and speak English well. Would definitely come back here the next time I’m in Lausanne.

Exquisite coffee in elegant surroundings

We use to get coffee beans here very regularly and the one time we sat down to have a coffee, the staff was very rude for no reason. I would rather get coffee from nice people.

I loved the place and the coffee .. great experience overall ✨👍🏼💐

Excellent little coffeeshop. On site roasting. Very cute decor. Cakes and treats. Nice ambiance. Every detail thought through. High quality product and service.

Every time I come to Lausanne, I pass by this cozy, elegant and good vibe caffe! Good space with updated nice photos that enhance the experience of a good coffee :)

Warm welcome, best flat white I have ever drunk with a silky and tasty texture. To taste without moderation

Excellent specialty coffee roasted on site!

Magnificent place in the city center of Lausanne. Quiet atmosphere, excellent service and remarkable coffee! To visit several times.

Superb speciality coffee, great cold brew ☕️

Definitely one of the best cafes in Lausanne. Own roastery. Exciting coffee beans for sale and good guidance from the skilled owner of the cafe.

Great welcome, great atmosphere and the coffee is exceptional, I recommend!

Great vibes, excellent coffee, trilingual owner, will come again.

Super nice coffee bar with lovely baristas and amazing banana bread (also the other cookies are insanely good). The best coffee in Lausanne without too much of that typical coffee "fuss", if you know what I mean. Other important point to mention, whenever I go, the walls are draped with amazing photographs for local and international "upcoming" talents. When the extra ordinary no longer suffices, the REAL ordinary takes over.

For a pure experience, ask for a filter of their freshest roast. No need for milk or anything to take away from experiencing coffee in its mature state as a plant extract. Delicious.

Nickel! The staff is very friendly, the drinks are of very good quality. Even the musical choice for the background atmosphere is great. Some will say that there are only a few and small tables, but in the end it gives an intimate charm... Be careful, a little extra, on the weekend computers and tablets are prohibited like that, a return to real discussions and during book-reading times :)

Not only are the coffees excellent, but you feel “at home”. A relaxed place and the owner and staff are adorable! The homemade pastries are to die for, special mention for their banana bread ;-)

The coffee is delicious, the cheesecake is divine, the staff is friendly. What else can you ask for? Oh, there's also art exhibited on the walls!

Probably the most delicious (personally) coffee in town; i never take my americano without sugar but here i do. Flat white of my friend « most beautifully presented in their whole life ». The cheesecake, made by the wife of the owner, is *divine*, per opinion of several people not just mine. It’s velvety, sweet but not too much, with herbs for added depth. To have this place open on Sundays where Lausanne tends to be dead - luck ! The only minus - things could be less expensive. But i guess good things cost good money.

Pleasant atmosphere and super friendly staff! I love this coffee, thank you!

very welcoming and attentive! the coffee is delicious, although a little expensive.. the place is very pretty too

Great coffee and cake. You definitely have to go if you are in Lausanne!

5 stars from the moment we entered. The welcome is very attentive, the explanations expert and the atmosphere minimalist but warm. The coffee is of excellent quality with the possibility of purchasing beans roasted on site. The pastries are also excellent - special mention for the banana bread. The photo exhibitions give a unique touch to this place, to which we look forward to returning very soon. Congratulations for this success!

The best cappuccino I've ever had in my life!

The coffee is great and also the people there are nice and friendly. I recommend this place☀️☕️ P.S. they also have photo expo and the vibe there is nice and cozy

Very friendly service, mega good croissants, stylish worst art exhibition, very cool music. Valid.

+: the coffee is excellent and the setting is very pretty -: there are 2/3 other excellent cafes also in Lausanne, some of which are very close and less expensive, and the waitress who took care of me was just friendly (she seemed to feel overwhelmed) Overall still a very good place to drink very good coffee!

Professional coffee! It is very practical because it is close to Lausanne station.

The cappuccino served at the place were great. Fruity and smooth notes from the coffee. However, I also bought a bag of coffee beans from Brazil for 16 chf that were out of low quality. Poor taste and they tasted like any other commercial coffee brand.

One of the few places in the city that makes delicious coffee, besides, it's a very cozy place and a good location! I recommend!

Thomas the owner probably gave me the best service you could ever have from a coffee shop! Was Looking for the correct beans for my new barista coffee machine.. his recommendations were by far very helpful and even provided a small coffee tasting experience so I can decide for the correct beans! Merci beaucoup! Come and enjoy tasty coffees here

One of the best coffees in Lausanne! Homemade pastry and cookies are delicious! I tried the lemon poppy seed cake. The owner was very friendly and was happy to speak in English too (big plus!) The place is small with a few tables to catch up with friends/work. Very cozy!

The coffee is delicious, the cheesecake is killer, the place is decorated with great taste and what's more, the welcome is great: truly a gem to discover!!

Fr. 4.80 for a bitter and self-service expressivity like at Macdo, it’s expensive!

Silky textured espresso. Complementary tasting dark chocolate branch. Delicious. Would return. Thank you! @lukawanderer

The best coffee I've ever had 🤩 cozy atmosphere, super stylish decor (regular photo exhibitions), adorable staff, you have to try it 😁

The coffee was delicious and the café is very lovingly decorated. the staff was very friendly :)

Excellent coffees!!! One of the best cafes in Lausanne!! :)

Excellent service, friendly owner and staff. The coffee is excellent. Love this place. It will be great if it’s open till 8 pm daily 😊

Pleasant, friendly and open on Sunday

Specialty coffee, delicious little treats, great aesthetics and friendly staff! A great option for a coffee break or for squeezing in some laptop time.

Finally a coffee roaster + coffee shop combined in the center of Lausanne! The quality of the coffee is incredible and the owner is extremely welcoming and passionate! Add to that a great rustic décor to seal the deal. Absolutely recommend!

Very cute and welcoming coffee shop. I love their coffee and their yummy pastries! Will be back for sure. ☕🍪❤️

Great coffee and amazingly friendly staff

I adore! Very friendly staff, very nice decor and homemade pastries. (Big fan of their cardamom roll, excellent!)

A pinnacle of cosiness for this neat little café where good taste is king! Delicious coffee specialties and homemade pastries.

Good coffee and home-made cakes!

A small shop that offers original and very high quality coffees. Great welcome from the manager who is really very pleasant. Do not miss !

Small cozy café, warm welcome and impeccable service. The coffees are of very good quality as are the pastries which are homemade. A treat ! I'm going back with my eyes closed 👍👍😌

The coffee, the service, and the atmosphere were all amazing. I enjoyed every sip of the coffee 😌☕️

Great coffee, super friendly staff. Looking forward to coming back! Estevan

An incredible place, great coffee and perfect welcome. Roasting made on site and coffee always fresh. And very good pastry. I recommend it, don't hesitate any longer!

New coffee place in town! Two minutes by feet from the train station, the place is super cozy and the best part is that coffee is roasted on place! Great coffee, amazing staff, and very nice atmosphere! And they have Friday / pie-day, home made and suuuuper tasty! Amazing discover and new favorite place in Lausanne! If you love coffee, this is the place!

Perfect location at Petit Chêne, peaceful atmosphere, good hot chocolate and cake. Friendly owner. To recommend !

A top coffee experience in a beautiful location. Pleasant and professional service.

Excellent service and felt very welcome! Coffee was excellent and the cheesecake with honey and thym was maybe the best we’ve ever had! Great place to stop by 😉

Keep going back for the iced latte!!

Nice and cosy place. Good service and good quality coffee. Ideal place to chill and relax!
