Café Plaza — Restaurant in Cham

Update If you are vegetarian you must go get the plant based burger it is easily one of the best things I have eaten in my life.

So my new rule is to not give a critical analysis until I have been to the venue three times or more, so that I can get an average impression.

So this place is really cute, cozy and has a wonderful outside area for when it is warm enough. I would say there is enough for around 30 to 40 people outside which is really nice.

The food: The best thing is the toast and crepes. You can have a choice from the menu, or if you want to make a change to anything they are so flexible you can add or take away items such as eggs, bacon, spinach etc. The portions are very generous and the cook knows exactly what he/she is doing. Very nice bread topped with fried egg and ham is a recommendation, also spinach and goats cheese is super tasty.

The baked goods and pastries are right near the door, which I challenge anyone to walk past without taking something (amazing Danish whirls, croissants, brownies and cookies)

The Coffee: Very well pulled shots in the true Swiss Café Crème style.

The Staff: Very fun, friendly and efficient. You know when a place is good when the staff enjoy being there and are always happy. For me this is a big impression.

The Drinks: I had one of the best Mojito I have ever had at Plaza and they also have great wines and beers to offer.

For me it is one of the best places in Cham for lunch in the weekdays, and a great place for drinks on the weekend.

I can highly recommend this place, for anyone. Families, groups of younger folk and for the elder people...

This places has many pros and cons, so I will make a list:

Very cheap for what you get Drinks are awesome and big portions Cozy Very friendly staff, quick service

no vegetables on breakfast choice (would gladly pay more if it came with some tomatoes, paprike, cucumber,...) food is very sweet and sugary. Missing a bit of balance (perhaps it was intended this way)

(?) it is very "old"... Going alone at the age of 30 made me feel quite misplaced. Customers either seem to be elderly people or families, although I did not see kids (probably because it was Monday 10 a.m.?) (?) also the interior reminds me much more of my grandma's place

Overall, I would say that it is very specific! It is lovely and certainly the staff put their heart into it, it just does not match anybody's needs. It did not suite me, but if you are looking for something like this specifically,...

There is a corner for kids, however it’s full of dirty, broken (even pointy) toys. I don’t think I ever saw such a place.

Edit after the response from the restaurant: Taking care of the kids corner does take time. I would recommend having less toys, so that it's managable organizing the place. Some toys could be replaced, even by finding other ones in Brocki (in Zug there are plenty of great options). Nobody expects that the kids corner will be in the perfect order all the time, we all know how it is. In case there is no possibility to maintain it, I understand the decision...
