Boréal Coffee Shop Talacker (ZU)

Cute, cozy place with a nice atmosphere and very good snacks and coffee. Ideal for working with laptop. Friendly staff as well. The only downside was that the wifi wasn't working, which is a shame in 2023 as I couldn't work with my laptop

Just finished a trip around Switzerland and Como, Italy and this was the best espresso I've had on the entire trip. Artisan roasted and prepared. This is not your usual overly dark roasted Illy coffee you get at most places. The coffee has a great flavor profile. If you appreciate coffee, this place is for you.

Best batch brew and vegan bagel in town!

Really good coffee if in the area you should totally go to check it out, specially if you like specialty coffee. The End.. If that wasn't enough info and you want more details, you won't be disappointed even if your a coffee snob, they do have v60 filter coffee which is always amazing. A little disappointed there wasn't so much options in terms of African options (only any Ethiopian coffee was avaliable) which we specialise but I guess you can't have it all... P. S. Don't follow us if your looking for nagative reviews, we only focus on highlighting good coffee spots whereever we go and add to our list places with good and multiple African Specialty coffees to our recommended lists.

This is a great cafe with great food and excellent staff. Both times I've come I was served in excellent English, quickly and efficiently. The seating is plentiful but roomy and there are lots of natural light and pleasant, unobtrusive music.

The food is really worth it. The croissants are fresh, soft and flaky. The bagel sandwiches are also fresh and tasty, and they toast them lightly when you get one. Their orange juice really is fresh, and they make flavorful, strong coffee.

Most of the above can be gotten for about 16 francs with their breakfast deal. This is probably the best food value I've seen on this trip to Switzerland.

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!

A great place to come and relax or work over a good coffee. The place is big enough to host groups and tables are well designed to sit and work for longer time. Coffee is good , snacks are available at reasonable prices. I went on a sunny day, it was super warm inside than outside, Management take care ? Even the waitress is sweating :p

First coffee stop in Zurich and loved it.

My latte was amazing and the staff were very nice.

Cozy environment in here. Would be a nice spot to bring a laptop as well and get some work done.

I want to go back!!
