Woke up hungry, hopeful, and one missed espresso away from a personality crisis. Followed the warm aroma of roasted perfection to DRAFT — part café, part cultural oasis, all heart.
Yes, it’s busy. That’s what happens when you serve actual coffee, not bitter brown water churned out by a George Clooney endorsed plastic box. The line moves fast because the team knows what they’re doing. Efficient, friendly, and somehow remember your order even if you're a walking existential question mark before 9am.
The coffee? Proper. Bold, nuanced, like someone actually gave a shit. It doesn’t just wake you up — it invites you to show up. The flat white here could talk me off a ledge, and often does.
The food? A rotating menu of joyful rebellion. Toast that makes a mockery of my sad home attempts, pastries that flirt openly with your blood sugar, and cinnamon rolls that whisper “you’re doing better than you think.”
The crowd? Mixed. From laptop warriors actually finishing screenplays to designers sketching quietly, to locals simply reading or being — not performatively, but actually. The ones who whine about it being “too hip” are either soulless mood vampires or lost a barista competition to these peeps and never recovered.
Yes, someone might be journaling near you. No, that’s not a crisis. That’s ambience.
The plants are thriving. The music isn’t intrusive. The lighting doesn’t give you seasonal depression. And if you’re scared of oat milk, that’s a you problem.
FINAL VERDICT: DRAFT is what happens when a café chooses substance and style. I came hungry, I left better. Would rather hibernate here. I also learned about my personality traits, helping me better understand myself and connect with others on a deeper level. All in coffee place? Amazing. Thx Alix & Nikos for that!
Rating: Five glorious stars out of five. Mood: Caffeinated, cared for, slightly overweight but smug in...

Draft Coffee in Zürich's beautiful Seefeld neighborhood isn't just a coffee shop; it’s a destination for true beverage connoisseurs. They have masterfully curated an experience where quality ingredients meet exceptional service, making every visit a highlight of the day.
The Best of Both Worlds: Coffee and Matcha
For the purists, the coffee here is nothing short of outstanding. Sourced thoughtfully and brewed with precision, every espresso and pour-over showcases the dedication to the craft. The baristas consistently deliver perfectly extracted shots and velvety smooth milk drinks, proving why Draft is considered among the top spots for specialty coffee in Zürich.
But what truly sets them apart is their legendary Matcha. If you're looking for a high-quality, vibrant, and perfectly balanced Matcha Latte, look no further.

Read moreHipster Hell: Woke up hungry, hopeful, and dangerously under-caffeinated. Followed the scent of beans and irony to a place called DRAFT. — which, to my dismay, is less a café and more a curated exhibit of urban ennui. Left with a caffeine-induced existential crisis and the taste of regret on my tongue. The clientele: a live-action Pinterest board of ironic mustaches, mismatched thrift jackets, and people who use the word “vibe” as a noun, verb, and dietary guideline. I counted five separate laptops open to Final Draft, none containing anything worth producing. The air smelled like oat milk and unresolved trauma. The coffee? Unforgivable. A limp, watery insult masquerading as espresso. I've licked condensed milk off a tree stump in the Black Forest with more nuance. It tasted like someone tried to filter resentment through recycled corduroy. Prices? Scandalous. I could buy a whole salmon for that, and the salmon wouldn’t pretend to be a DJ on weekends. Ambience? Industrial chic hellscape. Plants that looked like they needed therapy. Every table occupied by people “working on their screenplay” or pretending to read Proust in German. One man was journaling about his emotions into a Moleskine while sitting criss-cross applesauce. I almost called the authorities. FINAL VERDICT: DRAFT. Coffee is what happens when mediocrity gentrifies. I came hungry, I left bitter. Would rather hibernate in a compost bin. Rating: One claw out of five. Mood: Betrayed, caffeinated, and...
