Café-Bar Elisabethen - Basel

This café probably offers the best value for money in Basel. Incredibly cakes and coffee, very good for lunch and dinner as well. They also have a nice selection of alcoholic drinks and you can enjoy a sundowner in front of a church.

Oh what a lovely little find. The young chap that served us was quick, witty polite. Good coffee a lovely meal, amazingly not bad prices for Switzerland. I had the Melenzana (Aubergine) dish my partner had the tagliatelle bolognaise. Both of these were really good. We sat on tables in front of the church where they have umbrellas for shade, as it is a sun trap. We finished up chatting to lots of other customers who loved the place too. Pat Terry from London

An unusual cafe, located in a former church. Small, only a few tables inside and a few outside. The interior has a special, unusual air. Polite staff. You cannot pay by card, unfortunately.

Part of the great Church, there are a small number of tables at ground floor and above surrounded by the fine stonework of the church. We chose the latter. Coffee and cappuccino plus a helping of croissants of different types were the order. We had the upstairs space to ourselves. It was relaxing and a quiet beginning to the morning. Staff were grand, very friendly and also efficient arriving with the goodies in no time at all.

Place to be if you want to enjoy a cozy sunday afternoon, enjoying the sun and meet up with friends. Nice and welcomming staff and a lot of fresh stuff to choose from.
