Nestled gracefully in the vibrant heart of Zurich, just steps from the iconic Bahnhofstrasse, Café Helvétique stands as a warm, inviting haven for discerning lovers of fine coffee and exquisite baked goods. Our story began with a simple passion: to bring unparalleled quality and a moment of true pleasure to the bustling city life. We believe that a great cup of coffee and a perfectly crafted pastry have the power to brighten any day.
For years, we have been dedicated to the art and science of coffee brewing, meticulously sourcing the finest beans from sustainable farms around the globe. Our baristas are true artisans, trained to bring out the unique flavour profile of every single-origin bean and blend, ensuring your espresso, latte, or pour-over is nothing short of perfection. This commitment extends beyond the bean; we use only the best Swiss milk and alternative options to complement our brews.
Complementing our coffee is our pride and joy: our artisanal pastries. Baked fresh in-house every single morning, our selection draws inspiration from both Swiss tradition and international patisserie. We use only high-quality ingredients – local butter, fresh fruits, fine chocolate – to create treats that are as beautiful to behold as they are delicious to eat. From the flakiest croissants to decadent cakes and delicate tarts, there is something to delight every palate.
But Café Helvétique is more than just coffee and pastries; it is an experience. We designed our space to be a tranquil retreat from the urban pace – a place with comfortable seating, soft lighting, and a welcoming ambiance where you can relax, catch up with friends, hold a casual meeting, or simply find a quiet corner for contemplation or work. The gentle aroma of fresh coffee and warm pastries fills the air, creating an atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to consistently provide exceptional quality, genuine warmth, and a moment of quiet luxury in your busy day. We are deeply rooted in the Zurich community and strive to contribute positively to its vibrant culture, one cup and one pastry at a time. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the Café Helvétique experience.
Embark on a journey of exquisite flavours with our carefully curated selection of specialty coffees. We feature single-origin beans and signature blends, expertly prepared by our skilled baristas using various methods, including precision pour-overs, classic espresso extractions, and velvety milk-based drinks. Every cup is crafted with passion and attention to detail.
Savour the sweet delights from our bakery. Our pastries are baked fresh daily using traditional techniques and the finest Swiss ingredients. Discover flaky croissants, rich pain au chocolat, delicate fruit tarts, creamy cheesecakes, and a rotating selection of seasonal cakes and treats. Each pastry is a small work of edible art.
For a satisfying midday break, explore our selection of light lunches. We offer freshly made soups, vibrant salads using the best seasonal produce, and gourmet sandwiches prepared on our own artisanal bread. Our lunch items are perfect for a quick yet healthy meal, crafted with care and flavour in mind.
Beyond coffee, our menu includes a range of refreshing options. Choose from a selection of premium teas, freshly squeezed juices, and carefully selected soft drinks. We also offer a small variety of local snacks that pair wonderfully with your drink, perfect for a lighter bite at any time of day.
