Café Miyuko — Restaurant in Zurich

Thank you to Sara, Dominik and Team Miyuko! My friend and I had the pleasure of spending a lovely morning and early afternoon with you last week. Firstly, the rooms are beautifully decorated and you feel as though you are stepping out of busy modern Zürich and into a world of cozy cafés where time does not exits. We were a bit early for our reservation (if you know you want to have the full experience of what they provide, do make reservation for one of their specialty menus), but we were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. Every single item that is served has a story - where it comes from, who grows the produce or creates the cheese - it's a testament to love of land and terroir. We opted for the Gnüsser ZMorge which is a delux brunch experience. We slowly made our way through the beautifully presented and delicious items with curiosity and joy. Each new flavour or texture was a delight. If you like hot chocolate theirs is rich and not too sweet! We had requested gluten free and vegetarian and this was beyond expectations with everything being incredibly well crafted and full of flavour. I even took home two GF scones to bake at home and they were also exceptional! If you are looking for a creative, artistic, imaginative, delicious experience of the flavours of Switzerland, come relax into the glorious space created by Sara, Dominik und Team Miyuko....

We went with the intent of having afternoon tea as we were very exited from seeing the pictures and people’s reviews, but the waiter said we had to have a booking for afternoon tea and request it an hour before arriving

Which was a bit weird since we and 2 other guests were the only ones dining and the place was almost empty

Nevertheless , we ordered the sweet scones, cheese sandwiche, and chocolate berry cake and they were absolutely divine!!!

The scones were very fresh and soft, they also served it with a small piece of coconut cake which was a nice surprise

The cheese sandwich had many interesting and weird ingredients, but it was something new to try & very interesting

And the chocolate cake was my favorite, it was very soft & well balanced I ate the whole thing! They also have good coffee!

I definitely recommend this place, the only thing I wish they would improve is :

indoor cooling or AC or having a Fan since there is no air inside and the weather is very hot in the summer

better seating and atmosphere

clarifying that afternoon tea needs to be previously booked or preparing it beforehand to be ready to be ordered on the spot, since some visitors like us are tourists and don’t have a flexible time to come back for it or...

Finally made it to Café Miyuko - A cute little hidden gem in Zurich and definitely worth checking out!

I went on a gray wintery afternoon for a little treat and ordered the Golden Milk with Soy Milk and a slice of the Chocolate Passion Fruit Cake. Both were absolutely wonderful! Presentation and flavors were both top notch!

The Golden Milk was nice and foamy with so many fragrant spices.

The cake… wow! Just wow! Chocolaty enough to satisfy your chocolate craving without overpowering the other flavors, and perfectly balanced with a light and creamy chocolate-maracuya cream. Positively surprised by the lightness of the cake. Such a wondeful treat!

The ambiance is snug and warm. I didn’t get a chance to see the main seating area due to a private party. I sat in a little spot around the corner from the counter. Cute but quite busy with lots of foot traffic and people constantly passing by which made it a little less relaxing.

All in all a true treasure! I will be back for sure! The challenge is going to be wanting to try other things but knowing how good the Chocolate Maracuya cake is and perhaps not being able to resist ordering it again… we...
