Great little coffee bar, warm and friendly service. The coffee and pastry options are very inexpensive, surprising for Switzerland Take cash they don’t accept electronic payments but there was an ATM right around the corner.

This is a nice, quiet cafe next to the Museum Luzern. I came here for a coffee and a light lunch (I had a piadina and a salad, as well as an espresso). I sat outdoors but the interior is also beautiful and overlooks the river. It is cash only but they accept euros.

Best iced coffee - ever! Pastries were very good. Reasonable prices and generous portion of iced coffee - perfectly done. Great service, very kind just remember - they only take cash. They also open at 9 [when we were there]. Highly recommend, perfect place to relax and enjoy a great coffee and pastry.

Excellent little cafe...good vibes, great cappuccino with good service. I tried the plum and it was absolutely scrumptious. Be aware this is Franc or twint payment only.

Amazing coffee and atmosphere - cozy on rainy days and nice outdoor area for sunny days. Nice location near the museum and by the river. The team here are so friendly and offer wonderful service. MUST try the chocolate muffin here it is out of this world.
