Excellent coffee, delicious pastries, all organic / local / fair trade. Actually the atmosphere was OK, but I wasn't feeling comfortable with 2 things : - people not being made aware they should close the side door (which is also the stair-free entrance) once they used it. Sounds ridiculous, but a reminder may help! This cosy and warm place is getting cooled down with draught (which is sad in winter) - Toilets were not really clean (probably due to the fact that everything is opened for everyone all the time, and I can understand you don't have the personal to go cleaning every hour) However, will be a pleasure to come visit you back soon

Great bar! Despite a lot of stress, the service was friendly. In addition to great drinks, it also offers events for cozy get-togethers and a great atmosphere!

I know it is a popular place, in my honest opinion it is majorly overhyped. Coffee is okay, but nothing special, way too crowded, service is okay but not particularly good or friendly. When I am there I feel like it is only a popular place because locals make it seem like one not because the place itself can offer you anything special. 7 chf for an okayish cappuccino is very expensive, I think. For show offs and those who need an ego booster, I definitely recommend.

Superb café in an old store, delicious coffee and cakes, downside quite noisy and little service for the number of tables. Order at the bar.

Welcoming place, nice ambiance, friendly staff. Great for chatting and socializing in a relaxed way - super loud though, so not super great for working (inc. online meetings) when noise is disturbing. Nice place overall

You can also get a seat here for brunch on Sundays. The market hall atmosphere is cool and there is delicious food with good value for money. The coffee was particularly good. However, it is self-service. The free water dispenser was also a big plus.

The flour soup was too expensive and unfortunately didn't taste like flour soup. 2 x flour soup and 2 x onion consecration: 36 CHF. If it's good - OK. But unfortunately that wasn't the case.

I was at UM on Sunday and had a cappuccino with oat milk and a vegan carrot cake, photos attached. Was delicious! Unfortunately, the toilet wasn't the cleanest, but it was really busy. I can't say much about the service as I was at the self-service counter. I paid 11.30 CHZ for the two things.

This cafe right in the heart of Basel City is super. It is very well located and we can Reach it on foot or with the Tram (city train). The prices are good and comfortable. It has bathrooms and is a super nice place to meet up to chat with friends or have a date with someone. It does not have parking because it is in the “no cars” zone. Nearby is the Storchen parking lot. Recommended

Self-service. Simply furnished. The premises are a former bank. 12/24/23 A double espresso costs a whopping Fr 6, which in my opinion is simply a coincidence. Ok, this is a subjective rating. Service was top.

Had the worst brunch here. Also way too overpriced for what it is!! The pancakes were horrible and the warm chocolate was like water mixed with cocoa powder. And then no escape, nothing at all!! Wow! How critical you are... everyone didn't like the chocolate. If it had only affected me, things would be different. Now you accuse me of not wanting to accept anything else. I wanted to, but we were overwhelmed and had zero appetite after this horrible brunch. Afterwards I went to the same employee and said that we no longer liked anything and therefore would not accept the offer. Her answer: I like our pancakes, I'm sorry. No money back, nothing!

If you are wondering how big a cafe can be, be sure to sit down, have a drink and experience it. Even a playground has been considered for small children. If you wish, you can spend time outside with the French-style seating concept overlooking the square.

We paid and got nothing in return just first degree burns!!!! If there is any medical treatment costs involved our insurance will come back to you with the claim.

Very good, but lukewarm cappuccino. The “hot” chocolate was also just barely warm. Self-service and sometimes very loud, especially on weekends. The food next door is very good. Price-performance ratio was rather average, as I had ordered and expected hot drinks. Almost 6.- for a small, lukewarm cappuccino is just too much!

A great place to stay for a while in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the old town. Great coffee culture and a good selection of cakes, pastries etc. I find the no laptop policy a bit irritating. You are not allowed to work with a laptop on the terrace or in one of the interior rooms (you will at least be politely advised to power the device). Thinking about it, I understand that to a certain extent - but do I want that when I want to write two or three emails in peace and quiet? Leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste as a customer. I feel sorry for the employees who have to enforce this ban.

This place is great because you can work there without having to consume. That being said, the cakes up front are overpriced and for some mysterious reason you can't order drinks until a certain time. This is new tho. I was there for my birthday and all I wanted was an espresso Martini with my cake but it was too early 🥲

I've known the center since it opened. Now I've been there again and realized that it has a big mistake. There are all sorts of magazines available to read, with the exception of the one that stands out from the mainstream - Weltwoche. Diversity of opinions and stuff... You know what to do ;) it belongs in the range

Good concept idea, unfortunately quality disappointing, food looks better than it tastes. Stopped there several times due to the good location. Unfortunately, all the (sweet) pastries so far have been too dry, the cakes on site are nothing special and rather dry and the Gianduja croissant is barely edible the next day and too sweet. Coffee ice cream was delicious, plum ok. Service nice but slow and forgetful. Location practical for staying in the city. Prices were rather high and I would have expected more.

Lame. We wanted to get cocktails at 5.52pm, but we were not supposed as they start cocktails at 6pm... The waiter was pissed to serve us and added in German "not anymore" (mumbling in his beard). All of this show just to finally get a Hugo with green mint liquor instead of just fresh mint. I didn't finish it. First and last time.

nice quirky place in the old city. beautiful old building that's well looked after. tourists and locals alike buzzing here. definitely worth a stop to people watch and relax for a while. standard Swiss price ranges. food and coffee were just decent, nothing to rave about. we asked for cheese added with the scrambled eggs, and got 2 slices of Swiss cheese for 4 bucks. add another 4 for a handful of raw sliced veggies and a spoon of hummus.. which was funny for us but not entirely unexpected given our time in Germany and now Switzerland 😆. besides that, staff were pretty friendly and quick.

What can I say? Nice place. In the middle of Basel, responsible ownership, open to everyone, worth supporting, but a beer for 9.50 is not without. Nevertheless, I would come back as a guest. Safe 4 stars here. As an organizer/club I was a bit disappointed. Although the MA were very nice, accessible and friendly. There was hardly any advertising over the middle (own channels, but not even on social media) that an event would take place. Then a room on the 1st floor completely in the landing. It's a shame for the effort and despite the discount (thanks for that) it's a pretty expensive aperitif. Then there is the complication of changing an address on the invoice. Just a shame. So for a casual meeting - good. Not suitable for public (not closed) events. Thanks anyway.
