Very good coffee and nice selection of cakes. But note that cakes marked GF means ‘Gluten Friendly’ not ‘Gluten Free’ and there is cross contamination from storage, handling and cooking in the same oven - so not suitable for Celiacs.

Very nice atmosphere in this cafè. I had a cappuccino and croissant, and they were good. Price is also within the average, 9.6CHF for the two items. Perfect location if you have to work, with comfy tables and sofa. Also very friendly staff. I recommend it

Great vibe, coffee is on point and service is mostly very good. One of my favourite coffee shops in Basel. Definitely recommend! (I had to take back a piece of cake today as it tasted stale and the lady behind the counter was defensive and unapologetic - I am willing to overlook as an off day!)
