"The atmosphere and decoration are great, and the pastries are delicious. I hope to return and try the homemade sandwiches that look great. I also had one of the best Chai Lattes from the city. However, the coffee is just basic."

"I highly recommend a visit to Café Ponti. You will finally be able to enjoy excellent coffee at an affordable price. Perhaps their food will satisfy you (delicious and cheap sandwiches, various pastries, gluten-free and vegan options). Eventually you will be amazed by their interior design, minimalist and alternative, without ever falling into a hypothermic style or into arrogance, as we can see elsewhere. The atmosphere is on point. The music, suited and smooth. In any case, the detail that will make you addicted will undoubtedly be the warm, friendly and smiling welcome that Lisa and Paul, the managers of this new pearl of Lausanne, reserve for you."
