5 Must-Try Brunch Spots in Zurich

Brunch in Zurich is getting more thoughtful, more local, and more design-driven. These five places bring together everything we’re into right now—great coffee, seasonal menus, and spaces that just feel right.

OKO - The New Everyday Brunch Hotspot

Zurich’s brunch scene has a new addition near Stauffacher: OKO. With its clean, modern aesthetic and thoughtful menu, it’s the kind of spot that doesn’t try too hard—and doesn’t need to. The focus is on quality: specialty coffee, well-balanced matcha, and a menu that ranges from crisp katsu sando to light plaice smørrebrød and rich French toast with berries. The eggs Benedict are done right, too. Brunch is served every day, making it a reliable choice no matter the morning. The interior is pared-back but warm, with exposed brick, a sleek metallic bar, and soft lighting that makes the space feel quietly stylish.

Drei Stuben - Swiss Tradition With a Twist

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Kreis 6, the Stübli Brunch at Drei Stuben offers something a little off the beaten path in Zurich’s brunch scene. The atmosphere is unpretentious—rustic wood interiors, a cozy charm, and a leafy patio that’s perfect for slower mornings when the sun is out. The menu draws from Swiss tradition but isn’t afraid to get creative: Eierschwämmli crêpes, a ham croissant roll served with truffle rösti croquettes, or waffles with alpine salmon and fresh figs. It’s seasonal, thoughtful, and quietly inventive. Fresh juices and excellent coffee complete the picture, making it a spot worth returning to.

Draft - Where Locals Catch Up

Draft is more than just a café—it’s a local hub in Seefeld, where people come to catch up, connect, or simply slow down. This laid-back hotspot serves up a drinks menu with intention and functionality: matcha latte, Chagaccino, turmeric latte, and Jamu tonic, all alongside smooth, expertly brewed coffee. The food is unfussy but spot-on—warm cinnamon buns from White Rabbit Bakery, a grilled cheese croissant, creamy porridge, avocado toast, and fresh bagels. Brunch is served Friday to Sunday, best enjoyed in a space as thoughtful as the menu. The interior leans into Scandinavian minimalism with a cloud-shaped bar, natural textures, and clean stainless steel details—calm, refined, and effortlessly cool.
