Cafe Schober is a nice cozy cafe with a beautiful picture perfect setting. It's a great place to sit & enjoy some desert & coffee. The building is more than a 100 yrs old & the cafe has seating at different levels. Although the menu is only in German, the staff was extremely friendly to explain the items to us... More

This cafe is the picture perfect coffee/tea salon, with decorated ceilings, traditional pastry and cakes, ancient stone arches and gilded furniture in a medieval house in Zurich's Old City.....a real find. Its a real tea experience. Not only is it wonderful to just sit there, but the pastries and cakes and edibles are really good, not to mention the teas... More

I got into Schober driven by pictures and reviews. You just cannot miss it if you enjoy design. Although they were selling nothing the venue is worth the visit. Each area is decorated with a different touch. quite oppulent one might say but looks like a kind of game you are in!! you seem to be like inside Alice in... More

We had a table for 9 for a Mothers' day brunch at Café Schober. It was just perfect. There are several levels of rooms, all with a different decor and feel to them (including a really cute outdoors courtyard, which was, however, closed due to rain). The food was very good quality, just the right amount, and the service was... More

Though pricy (what isn't in Zurich), everything here is prepared with utmost care and service is also friendly and attentive.

Back to last century, this cafe patisserie will delight you with delicious pastries and a very good cappuccino. The breakfast including eggs and müsli is a bit expensive but, given the bunch of bread and croissants, you can easily skip the lunch!

after arriving in Zurich we decided to go sightseeing in the old part. I wanted - needed a cup of coffee and thought the first place would be ok just to have the coffee. My wife was much wiser and wanted to see more options. We found Cafe Schober. What a place, great cakes, great coffee and a building full... More

Enjoyed some quality time there. The place is situated in the old town of Zurich, lovely place, great history, and good food/drinks... Service is good. Decoration is lovely... Just go and check it out!

I have been twice now. The service can definitely be slow; seems like limited wait staff, so if it's full, be prepared to wait. By the way, you just go in and find a seat - if you want a specific pastry or chocolate truffle, take a long look at the front counter; either get it then, or know what... More

Ok ... I loved it. It was an expensive cup of hot chocolate and 1.50 CHF more for Whipped Cream and probably more calories than I can count, but I have ZERO regrets. Go early and sit in the red room on the 2nd floor. We had great service. I would go back in a heartbeat!
