On our last day in Basel, before we started our Viking Cruise, we decided to wander out for…read morebreakfast instead of doing the Hotel's buffet again. We found this option on Yelp, and it is a pretty cool building and very quaint inside. Unfortunately, the person behind the counter, and our server, did not speak any English...and we didn't speak German. And the menu was in German. So we really struggled to order our breakfast. But they were friendly, and we did manage to order something that we were okay with. However, in hind sight, we should have just stood at the counter and pointed to something in the display case to get the pastry or egg dish we wanted. Oh well, maybe next time!

Awesome breakfast! My husband got the bigger omelette (he says it was bigger than he expected which…read moreis very positive) and I had the scheisser breakfast with hot chocolate, juice, bread, and we both had croissants with butter & jam. The jam was delightful and the hot chocolate was good too! It came in a tea pot with my breakfast and there was enough for both my husband & I. You need to have a vaccination card to eat here. We had a lovely experience!

There is both inside and outside seating and while it was a little rainy we took advantage of a little covered area in the more or less hidden outdoor courtyard. The food looked good.

We stumbled across this nice little cafe when we were walking around Basel. If you're trying to find it the name of the church is Elisabethenkirche. It's very easily accessible from the public transit line that has a stop nearby. The cafe is on a corner of the church. It's tiny inside and you go and enjoy your drinks outside. It was nice to sip on a hot chocolate and watch the people that were walking by on the street. After you enjoy your drinks make sure you take a walk to the nearby Tinguely fountain (Tinguely Brunnen). Just like this cafe it's unusual and something you'll remember.
