Very homely place. Step through the front door and you are transported into the warm, safety of grandmas front living room. Tea and coffee is served in old china tea cups and saucers. Flowery wall papers and lacy curtains

What a local find! Totally different, individual, special, a must visit if you're in the area. Homebaked cakes which vary each day, proper coffee, non-matching crockery, friendly service. Yesterday I had the apple-berry crumble - massive piece - and it taste great. Menu has a good variation, just go I would say. The pumpkin pie if they have it on... More

I was there for Sunday brunch. So packed and cozy, and the cafe definitely had a special and charming atmosphere. I went for daily special cinnamon and pumpkin pancakes. That was huge, really heavy (but tasty of course), with loads of cream and berry comports. Crispy bread crumbles made it special. I would love to go back to this place... More

Kafi Dihei is located on a corner in a really nice neighbourhood in Zurich. The place has a realy cool, relaxed feel about it. The best part though was the food. I had the steak sandwich as recommended by the very friendly and welcoming owner. I have to say it was the best steak sandwich I've ever had. The steak... More

The coffee Dihei is always a pleasure to visit. It is so great, that a place like this finally exists in Zürich. It is super cosy, where you can wind down, relax and just enjoy the awesome atmosphere. It is a place where everyone can feel at home. The service is friendly, the coffee a dream and the food is...

The title says it all. Some friends and myself visited Kafi Dihei for lunch and chose one of the tables outside. It was reasonably busy given that it was a holiday Monday. Though we weren't in a rush, the speed and quality of the service was really poor. Our server didn't exactly endear herself to us when she eventually took... More

The Kafi Dihei is one of the nicest places in Zurich. It's like at home. The interior is like at grandmas place. So are the yummie cakes. And the best: they serve the best steak sandwich (with delicious soups) in whole Zurich. By the way: at weekdays the is not so much people - so you can enjoy this friendly... More

Great little cafe with superb cakes, a daily special for lunch, homemade bread, fresh soups and best of all breakfast everyday till 16:00. They have brunch specials on the weekends and a beautifull garden to enjoy the summer sun and an apero! Must have is the cheesecake ir sconnes with lemon curd in the afternoons.

This place is just fantastic. It is a small restaurant with approx 10-12 tables, a couch and a bar. The interior looks a bit like at the cozy place of my grandma. The service is run by the two owners - both very friendly. You get the best cake in Zurich and they have changing menus every day. I like... More

After living here for a year and searching for a really good coffee just like I used to get in Sydney, I found it! Food has a British touch which is perfect for those of us that love a good brunch. They do the traditional Swiss breakfast spread, but also proper fry-ups and savoury or sweet waffles. Lunch and dinner... More
