Boréal Coffee Shop Talacker (ZU)
Cozy and welcoming coffee shop to have a chat, relax, or work!
I was very pleased with my visit at Boréal last Saturday. I was looking for a place where I could spend a few hours working, and I stumbled across this coffee shop and decided to give it a go!
They offer a wide range of brews, classic coffees, and the possibility to personalize them with whipped cream and different syrups. They also have a variety of frappès and some teas. As for snacks, I saw quite a few bagels and a variety of baked goods like croissants, pain au chocolat, cinnamon buns, etc.
Because it was morning I decided to go for the (all day) small breakfast menù (10.80chf), which includes a small coffee (up to 2dl) of your choice, a croissant/pain au chocolat and a glass of fresh orange juice.
I decided to try their mochaccino and the pain au chocolat. Needless to say, I was very satisfied with my choice! I feel that the price was definitely fair for the amount of time I stayed in this cafè.
This place is laptop friendly, and I also found a socket to charge it under the bench in the sitting area close to the entrance. Unfortunately, it seems that there is no wi-fi, but it could be a temporary thing.
I would definitely stop by again in the future!

Veganitas
Lovely vegan pitas!
We found this place on Tiktok and were curious to try it after seeing the raving reviews! Unsurprisingly, we were really happy about the meal we got.
The fries are stellar, crispy on the outside, and soft inside, with the most delicious spice mix sprinkled on top. Delectable!
The pitas are good as well. We got the two newly released entries on the menus: the crispy veganitas chick'n and the planted teriyaki. I got the latter. The bread is great, soft, but it's solid enough to keep all the fillings and sauces without falling apart. The planted teriyaki, in my opinion, was a bit too salty but good overall.
The sizes of these pitas are massive. They fill them a lot (maybe a bit too much?), so you can rest assured that you'll never leave this place hungry!
Even though the sizes are generous, don't skip the fries. They're definitely one of the highlights of this restaurant/takeaway!
For drinks, they offer a homemade ginger tea, which was pretty tasty, and some other selected soft drinks you don't find everywhere in Zurich, such as Vivi Kola and multiple flavors of Gazosa from Ticino (rasperry, mandarin and lemon).
The place itself is not very big, but it has some tables to eat outside as well. I really loved the branded napkins, too, a very nice touch to this takeaway!

Pho Vietnam
Super tiny restaurant that serves a wide range of authentic asian and Vietnamese food. I tried the chicken satay skewers, which were among the best I've ever tried. I also ordered the Mi Won-Ton soup: the dumplings were great, and the broth was flavorful. Would definitely come back, especially for the skewers!
