Lovely cafe by the river. The staff was very kind, patient and accommodating. They helped us get a table outside with the view. We ordered the breakfast and we were presented the food as being sourced localy from the farms in the mountains. It was delicious!

Nice place, quiet location in front of a lake portion [nice view], good service. I only ordered a Flat White coffee, which was very good. Cheescakes looked very well and they offered different types. Restrooms clean and good.

Very friendly and pro-active staff. Great location on the river (within walking distance from Thun Bahnhof) with seating options both in- and outside. Plenty of books and toys to keep kids entertained. I'll definitely be back before the end of this Summer.

Beautiful location sat overlooking the river. Stopped off for lunch with my friend and her 2 dogs. The food was delicious, I had enchiladas. So fresh and tasty and presentation was fab! The server was so kind and friendly, she stopped to chat to us about the dogs and brought them a bowl of water. Would highly recommend.
