"Awesome little bar and a great value happy hour (€4 a pint). Lovely staff and great food too. Highly recommended and so much better than some of a faceless bars down in town."

"As I’m typing this, I’m lounging in a cozy corner, grooving to their epic playlist. Came here with the fam, found a snug spot, and then—plot twist—we made some new friends. Yep, a couple of bees crashed the party and, naturally, this led to a full-blown dance-off around the table. Totally planned, obviously. Hopefully, the lady working on her laptop wasn’t too distracted by our graceful moves. Now, let’s talk food: their croissants, both chocolate and strawberry, looked sweet but were just the right amount of deliciousness without the sugar rush. And get this—they gave us water in a bottle, *for free!* In Switzerland, where even breathing might have a fee, this was a delightful shock. I know, I know… it’s part of their service, but still! So, yeah, I’d totally recommend this place. The staff is friendly, and bonus points—they speak English!"

"Very cool spot to grab morning coffees and baked goods or come for apres at night. Croissants and cappuccino were great and decor is on point for a ski town. This was my go to spot while staying in La Praz!"

"We were here before the beginning of Happy Hours on a Sunday, and the place is popping! They have a few tables on the side of the road, and they are very popular seats. Inside decoration is pop + mountain sports photos, quite nice! Their drinks are reasonably priced, staff is friendly. I just wish they have more snacks or finger food on the menu, in addition to 3 kinds of paninis."

"I came here with friends after skiing to have some beer and coffee (in that order). it’s a nice little place. Really the thing that makes it five stars is the polite and attentive employees who work here and the local clientele that they bring in. Great bartenders and friendly locals always makes for a pleasant apres-ski experience. I will be back, no doubt."
