We stopped here to get a meal to bring up to Monte San Salvatore to eat at the top of the mountain. We grabbed a quick espresso before hand!

They had the Meringue Mushrooms dusted with sugar & Chocolate. Also they had Hot Chocolate that was to die for! Not super sweet like our hot chocolate in American, but rich bitter sweet chocolate!!!

Alright, Migros. I've been waiting 7 years for this revisit and you didn't let me down. My only…read morecomplaint is that you close at 7 pm and I felt rushed upon arrival at 6:45. That's okay, I'll see you again later this week. This particular Migros location served as our "budget-friendly" grocery for 6 months while I lived in Lugano and attended Franklin College Switzerland. Unlike, Manor (their downtown competition- albeit, flashier), Migros offers several budget friendly stock items to make living in Switzerland possible for a poor college student and now, budget-conscious traveler. We hightailed it here upon arriving in Lugano to fill our mini kitchen with produce and regional treats like spaetzl and cheese rolled in whole walnuts. On the entry level of this grocery you'll find a bakery with beautiful pastries and prepared takeaway foods. On the basement level you'll find everything you could need in a grocery store. Two budget tips: look for items marked as "Azione" and "Budget" with green wrapping- these are the best deals? Twelve kiwi for $4? Don't mind if I do! My only complaint this round was the unfriendly woman working the bakery who made it clear she doesn't speak English even when I was using only Italian mumblings with her. Work with me a little, would ya?

Did a little day trip from Como to Switzerland. We were looking a little cafe to get a snack and…read moredrinks. We found this small cafe that had outdoor and indoor seating. We sat inside and ordered a Nutella and banana crepe I would give the crepe a 7/10. It wasn't anything to rave about, but it was delicious. We also ordered tea and a Aperol spritz. Both were good. The service requires you to buy something if you plan on hanging out here. The food and menu wasn't elaborate, but it was a nice spot to kill time.

A great lunch spot my friend and I happened to stumble upon while cruising around Lugano. We…read moreventured away from the super-touristy spots and spotted this place down an unassuming side street. All the patrons looked like locals and we were attracted by the clean, modern decor. Looked like we'd probably get some decent, reasonably-priced eats and that's exactly what we got. They have a nice selection of sandwiches and salads so we each got a sandwich to try. I got a hot italian coldcut-combo kind of thingy and it was really delicious! I don't know how they got their bread so lightly crisp on the outside and so fluffy and delicious on the inside, but it was kind of magical. Washed down with some light beer, it was a great lunch. Our waitress was very nice and friendly too!
