The coffee shop with the best view in Switzerland! They are close to the lake, so it's great for those sunny days when you want to enjoy a nice cup of coffee while having a chat or while the kids enjoy the nature around. Keep up the good work!

I often visit this buvette in Rapperswil and I must say it is always a treat. The coffee they serve is by far the best in town. The fact that they use their own locally roasted coffee beans adds a unique and delicious flavor to every cup. I particularly enjoy their cappuccino, which is made to perfection with frothy, velvety milk. The attention to detail and the skill of the baristas truly impressed me. If you're a coffee lover, this buvette is a must-visit.
