Smilla Café in Binningen

We reserved a whole week in advance so that we would NOT get a place! No proper apology and immediately explained that it was the boss who didn't check the emails. It does not work!

Wow, for the price a super delicious breakfast, almost a meal of the day. Had the “rougher board”. Combination of cheese, scrambled eggs (with lemon and another great component - simply delicious), super delicious dip, fresh bread, confit, ... see menu ;-) Free tap water! Ambiance cozy. We made reservations and were happy because it was very well attended! Reservation quick and easy. Thanks for the great morning!!!

Great breakfast and coffee, good service, pleasant atmosphere. I will gladly come again

Amazing food, great café! 10/10 would recommend!

It was excellent, friendly staff. A little more could be done with the ambience. Nevertheless, I'll come back... The important thing is that it tastes good

Super nice, we celebrated a birthday and had breakfast here. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff.

What a beautiful place. Great breakfast and good prices. I would recommend this place to everyone.

super lovely. A wonderful coffee with delicious cake and enough space to linger. I like it a lot.

I came all the way from Seattle, USA, and it was worth the visit. Epic food, great atmosphere, and the coolest, friendliest and loving hosts and staff. Magical!

Superrrrr breakfast offer, very fresh and a lot of attention to vegan and organic

Simply brilliant and comfortable. I was invited to have brunch here as a birthday present. The food was very fine. The plate, or rather the board, was filled with various fine delicacies. The little pancakes are delicious. The ambience was simple, but that's what makes it so special. A very relaxed, cozy atmosphere. You almost don't want to leave here anymore. The staff is extremely friendly and customer-oriented. This is exactly what you want in every restaurant. Dear Smilla Café team, thank you very much for the wonderful time with you. I would be happy to come back and recommend you to others. It's worth making a reservation here for Saturday and Sunday. Especially on Sundays like ours it was full. Smilla means: No cake is no solution My motto in life: Just do it. So just go to the Smilla Café Parking spaces are located on the side streets. I recommend arriving by tram or bus. Follow me on Google Maps 🌍

Rather more expensive, long waiting time and still doesn't have Twint

Beautiful cozy café, if I lived in Basel I would be here all the time 🌸🤗🌻

Food: cool selection, very tasty and fresh - rather expensive Service: depends a bit...usually very friendly, but not very fast...but it's probably just because there's a lot going on and not enough staff. The owner is always extremely friendly and passionate. Ambience: very nice and cozy inside! Chairs outside are very uncomfortable

Very good food, friendly and courteous service. Lovely again

Very nice place and perfect for a good sweet or savory breakfast 😋 We really liked the simple but refined furnishings 🛋️ Top Rating S&P BBB

Favorite place Beautiful neighborhood café with cozy furnishings, you feel like you're at home. Great location, delicious drinks, great food and very nice service. Always happy to come back.

It was very nice and the service was great

Super cute breakfast/brunch cafe. The food was delicious and I will definitely be back!

This place truly deserves a 5 star. Very nice interior seating with good selection of food to choose from. The food is great, coffee can be better. They have very friendly staffs and some speak English too. Truly enjoyed our time here!

Good but overpriced. An avocado toast with egg 18 CHF? Seriously? Otherwise nice. The shabby chic and the alternative touch are not my style but the quality is right. Service was friendly

Good coffee, but understaffed/ unfriendly. Atmosphere a bit pretentious, not my cup of tea.

I was a guest at Café Smilla and I can only recommend it. The service was excellent. The interior design looks very inviting and creates a very cozy and friendly atmosphere. The diverse and equally appealing selection on the menu is great. And definitely worth a visit. I will gladly come again!

I was in the wonderful cafe on a Saturday morning. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, every dish was excellent and the café exudes a loving and friendly atmosphere. We also enjoyed a sensational homemade cheesecake with a very good coffee. I'll definitely come back and highly recommend it!

If all u care are Insta-clicks , then this is the right place to go 🥸🥸

I go for the cheese cake. I’m very picky about my cake & this cake is Seriously Spectacular. Coffee is good. Service is bad. I only go for the cheesecake. And it is worth going for. Update: I used to give this 5 stars for the cheesecake but the service has not gotten better, as one would expect it would with experience. Only go if you have a lot of patience and time to wait for the super slow service. The 3 stars is for the cool deco, locally owned & neighborhood vibe.

We went to Smilla for brunch on a Saturday. We had the smaller veggie brunch and one with meat - both were very tasty and filling. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere was very cozy. We'd love to come back.

Great service, great atmosphere, delicious cake and coffee. I highly recommend Smilla.

Dear staff, cozy and everything is very, very tasty. Always my pleasure. :)

Nice & cozy atmosphere, great breakfast and lunch options and friendly service! Invites you to linger!

It's a normal suburban café, the kind that are flourishing everywhere these days. The furnishings are inconspicuous and very simply put together, but that can also have charm. The staff is friendly, but probably doesn't come from the catering industry. The quiet music in the background is very pleasant. The prices already seem a bit excessive to me. E.g. a small Piece of cake CHF 6.50 (homemade style), which doesn't have to be the case. The really stylish Mercedes Café in the middle of the city and the Hotel Drei König with a view of the Rhine once had such prices. The Smilla is still a few meters away from such places and therefore a 5-star rating has not yet been given. I really enjoyed my visits to the location and the coffee tastes really great. There is certainly still room for improvement for the nice parlor café.

Cozy little café. The coffee is good and the food is simply amazing! The Müesli is outstanding and I also recommend the little pancakes, they are soo delicious. Everything I had so far was super delicious. Staff is very friendly and they also have a small selection of different goods to buy (glasses, vases, towels, sirups, small snacks).

A beautiful place with very nice and attentive service. With every dish you can see how much love it was prepared with! I can only recommend!! Such a great atmosphere, pleasant inside and outside area!

Good coffee, great puff pancakes.

The cafe is great. Croissants are always fresh and tasty. Breakfast is great. The service is very friendly. The quality is super! The work schedule is non-standard. The toilet is comfortable. I recommend visiting. Kaffee ist immer toll. Croissants sind immer lecker! Ein freundliches, gemütliches und tolles Café. Bedienung ist super.

Top finely selected menu at a high level, ideal for breakfast! Thank you, we will definitely come back. Lg

A new favorite shop. Cozy, bright, tastefully decorated, prices and quality of the food go well together, the atmosphere is friendly and the coffee is great. Friendly menu, robust and healthy items that taste as if those who make them also enjoy eating well themselves. Also worth a detour. Go there.

In general, original dishes, good coffee. But above all you need time, a lot of time...everything is very friendly, but you get a rather amateurish impression of the whole thing...it's a shame, because the ambience is certainly there...

Great lunch. “Super quality food”. Very nice staff.

Nice ambience and good quality food

Great dishes, cozy atmosphere both inside and outside and exceptionally friendly service

Cozy, charming and very fine coffee.

I loved! The place is very cozy, the coffee is delicious, the homemade cakes are delicious and the staff is excellent, they are very friendly! I would definitely return!! It is perfect for work, a meeting with friends or a relaxed date with your partner 👌😉

cool café, I like to call it "Berlin Style" relaxed atmosphere, nice staff

Really enjoyed the vibe and coffee at this cafe. For me, it’s worth a trip across Basel. But if going on a weekend when it’s cold you may want to reserve a table. I can’t wait to come back!

Too bad, place with a warm and friendly atmosphere, but the staff is very unfriendly, no interaction with the customer, especially the waiter. With potential but the service clearly needs improvement.

The Smilla Café is small but very nice!!! :) The rent, the staff and the food are simply unique. The prices and the services agree completely. I recommend this cafe 100%!

We had our Christmas dinner with the business at Smilla again this year. The food was prepared with great attention to detail. It was very versatile and extremely fine. We were able to enjoy a tavolata with many special dishes, the vegetarians were also well served! The wine selection also suited us very well. The ambience in Smilla is almost unbeatable and everything was beautifully presented. We will be back! :-) Thank you very much Georges and Andrea for the lovely evening!

Lovely and cozy cafe in the vibrant Neubad. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend the place to grab a coffee and just sit there and enjoy a lazy Saturday/Sunday afternoon!

Lovely place to have breakfast. Map provided and quality products. The mini pancakes, porridge and avocado toast are excellent. The chai latte too. Friendly waitresses and cozy decor. I highly recommend.

We were able to celebrate our Christmas party in Cafe Smilla with the best food. We were all thrilled by the friendliness and the loving preparation of our menu. The food was very varied and tasted excellent. Highly recommended. Many thanks again to the whole Cafe Smilla team.

Open too rarely and opening times too short - delicious snacks, fine coffee

Very idyllic. I could just really switch off here

Alternative looking cafe with very special furnishings. The seating outside is more for lightweights

The kindest people in the Neubad-Area <3

Beautiful little café with a cozy outdoor area. The cake selection is fantastic and they have a delicious selection of breakfast dishes. Highly recommended!

Here I always receive a friendly welcome and service. The dishes are delicious and varied.

Fine pizzas to take away. Friendly service.

Although it is a very cozy and beautifully decorated cafe, it is rather chaotic.

Very pleasant cafe. The coffee is good, not great, but the food (avo mash, poached eggs...) was very tasty and the atmosphere very friendly. If it was in London or Montreal I’d give it four stars because I’d be able to get a better flat white (for less than 6.20) at an equally nice place. In Basel, however, it stands out as one of very few truly good cafes of this type. All in all I would say that even if you are in the city centre of Basel, it’s well worth taking the tram for 15 minutes to go to Smilla.

Nice neighbor with Kosmetikstudio iBROW. After a treatment lunch and coffee

Very personable and personal. Very fine, creative food and always delicious cakes! The coffee is excellent.

Charming café with friendly service and a healthy menu selection. A nice spot for a cozy breakfast or coffee. It's just a shame that it stays closed on Sundays.

We celebrated my birthday with many friends at Smilla. Everything was perfectly organized; Food, service and support were great! We enjoyed every minute. Definitely a place where you feel comfortable.

Very cute and cozy café with great food and faire prices. I live here and go all the time!

Very cozy and nicely decorated cafe. Good coffee and delicious breakfast. Service friendly and accommodating. —> everything is tip-top! :)

Had a really nice lunch, nice atmosphere! Really nice people who are working there, helped us out to find some of the beautiful places around Basel.. We where there for 1 day!

A little expensive I think but warm

Cute little cafe with a nice atmosphere. Not open on Sundays though which is annoying .

It is a modern cafe. Very cozy. Friendly STAFF. Beautiful TERRACE. Fine homemade ice cream from spring to September.

Beautiful, nice service and fantastic food!

Very friendly and uncomplicated. Nicely decorated. Fine salads. Nice drinks, not from the big corporations, which I really appreciate...

Most beautiful café in Basel! Delicious cakes, wonderful coffee and unbeatably friendly service!

Ate very well and tried good olive oil. It's worth an extra trip to Smilla.

You have to find this cafe first. Friendly service, simple furnishings. Newspapers. Homemade cake. Top. 2 varieties. Coffee okay, but not barista quality.

Beautiful area. A muesli to die for and a hummus that doesn't help you get up.!! Excellent discovery.

Small restaurant with friendly service. Healthy delicious dishes, more cold cuisine.

I was only there once, small but nice.

Colorful, cheerful café with cakes and tarte flambées. Colorfully mixed crowd, pleasant family atmosphere.

Hidden gem outside the city center but certainly worth a visit

Very nice coffee, great service

Nice service, good outside seating

Super cozy!Friendly. Chai te and kitchens by Karin delicious!!! Great breakfast.!!!everything was great! I go every time I can😉😍

Sweet cute cafè in Alschwil with a stylish Danish touch.

Super cozy and friendly host/hostess

Beautiful decor, delicious cakes, good coffee, what more could you want

Very friendly, trendy, cozy cafe. Great breakfast on the board.

Very cozy, coffee and cake are great. Delicious food, small and fine selection of breakfast/food. My second home 😉

Feeling like in Copenhagen! 🥗very tasty, very friendly 💕

Nicely decorated, Nordic design, good coffee, good beer

Very lovingly designed café with a living room atmosphere, very pleasant to relax. Small selection of dishes that stand out from other locations in terms of their composition and preparation. Young staff, very friendly.

Finally perfect espresso in the neighborhood! Also nicely decorated, nice service, WiFi, you can sit outside.

Cozy café with bistro cuisine, lovingly furnished in Nordic style. The food is all homemade (even the cream cheese on the sandwiches), and I'm correspondingly enthusiastic about the lunch.
