The couple behind the counter have a charming interaction and great sense of humor, while clearly taking pride in their work. This is just one block from the train station. So instead of a day-old baguette with dull ingredients lazily prepared and served at the train station, do yourself a favor and go to Eva's!

Came here on a recommendation from a blog that they had the best croissants in Lausanne. They have…read morea ton of pastry and bread options and you order those first at the front of the cafe - keep in mind that if you have an American credit card it is a $20 minimum charge or you have to use cash. I tried the almond croissant (3.30 CHF), which was more breads than it was flakey. I also sat down in the cafe area and ordered a cappuccino (5.20 CHF), which was more latte like than cappuccino like but I still enjoyed it. If you need to pay in card, you'll have to go back to the front and it is the same minimum. The reason why I'm giving this place 2 stars if not because the food isn't good, but rather that they didn't give me the option to pay for both the croissant and coffee at the same time. I had enough cash when I ordered the croissant but had to meet the minimum when I bought the coffee - if I could have ordered them together (I did ask the front and she said no), then I would not have had to purchase as many random things to meet the minimum. I feel like that is something they should be more considerate about especially as they don't exactly advertise that they aren't a card friendly place.

If I was rating this place purely on the ambiance I would not rate it well. It is very crowded…read more(even with seating options upstairs and on the main floor), loud, and not extremely comfortable (because they want you to leave in order to allow seating for the next customer). Upon entering you are overwhelmed by a beautiful display of delicious looking chocolate, treats, and sandwiches. However, first secure a table if you can, and then go back and order the food, as you cannot order the food from the table. You can only order drinks or ice cream from the table - ask for the special menu. The sandwiches are nothing spectacular, except for their smoked trout sandwich. Being a Swiss tea room their sandwiches are bite size. So my husband and I ordered three different sandwiches to share. My husband noticed that EVERYONE was going for the trout sandwich, and was worried their would be none left. Thankfully we snagged the last one. We ordered some coffee- which was great and we had it with one of their sweet treats. I have been to several Swiss tea rooms and often their treats look beautiful, but they don't taste as good as they look. However, here the treats tasted better than they looked! We loved the desserts!

There aren't a ton of fast dining options at the Lausanne train station and with a very quick 20…read moreminute connection, I was happy to spot this Coop market. I was able to get in an out and still make my 4 hour train to Paris. This mini grocery store is inside the busy train station. This is Switzerland so of course prices are really high. Our bag of potato chips, two small cans of Coke Zero, a bottle of Evian water, and two pre-made deli sandwiches cost us roughly $40 U.S. The sandwiches were really high quality though, comparable to something you'd get state-side at, say, Dean & Deluca. The cheapest item we purchased was the liter of Evian water (for 89 cents)! I love when I travel to or through Switzerland because Evian is SO CHEAP. It's my favorite bottled water and I drink it with abandon when in Europe. The cashiers were fast and friendly enough, and Coop takes credit cards (which means you don't have the hassle of taking out Swiss Francs from the ATM if you are just briefly in the country). Nothing fancy but plenty to eat and a decent selection of healthy (yogurt, salads, nuts) and not so healthy (fresh baked cookies, potato chips, candy) snacks.

One reviewer said this place was stuck in the past and needed updating....uh that is what some of…read moreus like to call "charm". Located a few feet from the train station in Lausanne, Le Romantica is a clean old school pastry shop loaded with goodies. Sitting outside and people watching is great. The prices are reasonable..10.50 chf for a coffee, one savory croissant and one sweet pastry. The employees speak enough English to get by. A suggestion...maybe you as a visitor learn a little of the local language. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is they had no WiFi.

I had a chicken curry croissant a few days ago and want to walk back for more. I justify the urge by walking to the bakery. If you walk, then you will burn calories. When you burn calories, you must replenish with more goodies! Today I had some fromage and a strawberry tart. I plan on cleaning them out when I depart for the states later on this week. The people are very friendly and patient for the non-speaking French patrons who come to visit! Très bon!

Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Blackbird Down Town can get packed full stop, but the service, while a bit chaotic at times, moves things along and if you're wanting to skip the chaos you can just get anything to go, which I ended up doing. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Okay yes, it is most definitely overpriced. Like a lot, evidenced by my medium portion of Tikka Tikka Chicken Curry costing a staggering 15,60 CHF. That's insane even for Laussane. No Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? While expensive, this was an excellent dish. There wasn't an abundance of chicken but the veggies were so good that they blended right in. On top of that, it didn't fall into the trap of having too much sauce, and it instead blended just right with the quantity of rice. Two Stars. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? I would. Expensive or not this is a Laussane staple really. Star.

There is space on Friday/Saturday evenings and they can easily accommodate a large group. Now, the food quality is where it gets a bit more complicated. I went there having a craving for a good meat burger - something that is a bit expensive in Switzerland but usually the meat is good. Unfortunately, after ordering a double burger with bacon and avocado, I was quite disappointed. The meat was very disappointing and frankly left me with a feeling that I was having a meat-free steak. Not great. Fries and salad were fine. Unfortunately, that did not mean that their vegetarian burgers were any better - my GF's opinion of their vegetarian option was not that they were not as amazing either.
