Nyon's trendiest coffee shop channels the original Seattle java joints of the '90s--in a good way. A slight industrial vibe prevails here, and polished cement floors, tufted leather couches and wooden chairs are the perfect spot to relax with a cup of house-roasted coffee and slice of carrot cake. Excellent quiches, salads, and other light fare are also also available.
Locals have been squeezing into this cozy, eccentric café for more than a decade. More than a dozen coffee drinks are served alongside buttery pastries and heartier breakfast options. This little "ladybug" is cute as can be: the decor is decidedly funky, with gravity-defying stacks of books glued to its colorful walls and oversize Warhol-esque portraits in the restrooms. An outdoor seating area on a main pedestrian street means it is prime people-watching territory.
If sweets are on your mind, pick up a handcrafted chocolate in the shape of Charlie Chaplin's shoes from Läderach, on a pedestrian walkway near the tourist office. The chocolate showroom features live demonstrations and course offerings for budding chocolatiers.
