Just Coffee

«Everything is special about this place. You won't get another coffee like this anywhere in Zurich», shares Yan. Over the few months that Just Coffee is in business, the chef has already become a regular. «Whenever i drink a coffee or a chai here i just go ahhhhh!»

Since March there is a lovely, little take-away at Horngasse, which lies just between Bahnhofstrasse and Löwenplatz. I also go aaaah! when i entered the shop as it's such a refreshing breath within the shopping- and finance district. This is David Lewis' work: «I used to be a banker but then i finally had the courage to open my own business. It was always clear that his idea would revolve around coffee: «I don't drink, i don't smoke. Coffee is my only vice and it makes me happy. I wanted to pass on this happiness. »

The British-born owner almost spills over with enthusiasm while preparing my coffee. «I took more than 20 workshops and courses on how to make a perfect cup». Cappuccino with a milk foam flower? No problem! 

The coffee roasts come from England and Germany, chai and hot chocolate are imported from Australia. Next to carrot cake, granola-bars and brownies (with a regular and a vegan version) you also find Lamingtons, an Australian sponge cake filled with jam, covered with chocolate and coconut-rasps. All home-made.
