A combination of excellent coffee and a book store sounds like a perfect setting for a relaxing time. The cappuccino I had there was truly exceptional, with a rich and velvety foam atop a perfectly balanced espresso.

This place is super adorable. It’s a great combination of café, bookstore, and train station all in one. If you’re looking for a nice place to read a book and enjoy good coffee at the same time, you should definitely give it a try here. The coffee tastes good, and there are plenty of books waiting for you to discover!

Kaffekranz at Orell Füssli is a cozy coffee corner inside the bookshop. The baristas know their craft, and while the espresso is a bit too darkly roasted for my taste, it’s still a quality roast from their own micro roastery. What I really appreciate is the atmosphere—you can sit, work, or lose yourself in one of the many books on hand. A great spot for a quiet break in Luzerns main trainstation

Cool atmosphere with great specialty coffee. Must visit We were walking through the main train station and suddenly we noticed a small coffee place inside a book shop. Quick view and we saw a Barista that knows his work. La marzucco machine? Yep looks promising So. We had a great espresso and cappuchino and it managed to be one of the best in Lucern. Their 100% arabica was roasted perfectly and the tastes were just right with small acidity ,switness and a almost unnoticed bitterness. If you are looking for a good coffee place , don't forget to check this place

I’m not crazy about coffee but before we caught our train I needed to see what the hype about this window was about. It’s nothing out of this world. But it is a nice simple brewed quality coffee. With a window for convenience it’s an easy 5

Coffee. Baristas. Books. What else do you need to be happy? Great service, but you'll need to look elsewhere for a WC. Coffee was top!

Very nice service and very good coffee. We shared the last croissant and it was so fresh. The barista was very friendly and accommodating. The little cafe is in a bookstore so the views were nice.
