Beautiful place with carefully designed interior that transports you to Japan. The coffee is sourced from their own roasters. It was peaceful and quiet on Monday morning. Great matcha latte and coffee . The hot chocolate was also OK and the pastries looked amazing. UPDATE: I managed to try their delicious shokupan, which is a sort of brioche bread. And They open on Mondays , which is rare for many cafes in Zürich . Love this place

A stylish Japanese-themed coffee shop offering authentic Japanese pastries. Their cortado is exceptional. I really enjoyed it and will definitely return.

The coffee was expertly prepared, and we tried the vegan banana bread — not bad. The place is very small but has a clean, modern vibe. A nice stop if you’re in the area.

This small Dietikon joint has all your caffeine needs and more specialized drinks are available too. There is some pastry and bread but the highlight for me was a toasted rice latte! Very reminiscent of that authentic Japanese flavor. The ambience and the design language used inside the coffee shop is quite unique for the Zurich area. Definitely worth a visit to at least their speciality drinks and also see the inner design! Recommended!
