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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
