BEL-AIR COFFEE | Specialty Coffee Shop & Take-away

Fun friendly atmosphere serious care for coffee great selection of high quality beans. I recommend a pour over! Great spot

While I was traveling from Siegen to Genève for World of Coffee, I made an spontaneous and relaxed stop at „BEL-AIR SPECIALTY COFFEE“. I was checking the „EUROPEAN COFFEE TRIP“ app on the way and this place caught my attention immediately. I had to visit, there was no way around it. Upon arriving, I directly saw some of the finest coffees from the most renowned farms and roasteries. The first brew I had was a washed Geisha from Hacienda La Esmeralda. It was marvelous. I talked quite a lot with the owner, who then went in the back and took some very special lots out of the freezer. He was very generous and brewed another Geisha for me, this time from Granja La Esperanza. Also this coffee was extremely well brewed with great detail and attention. It does not happen too often that I like handbrews in a Café a lot. But I absolutely loved both of these handbrews. Especially the second one! Last but not least, I also tried a flat white. Top notch as well! I highly recommend this place to any specialty coffee enthusiast. You will find coffees of extremely high quality and they are prepared with passion!

Looking for an exceptional coffee experience in Lausanne? Then Bel-Air Coffee is a must for a coffee-loving city walker! Charming little café with coffee (and chocolate) specialities in a quiet alley in the heart of Lausanne. Fresh buns (cinnamon, cardamom, saffron, depending on the season) and cakes to match your coffee, delicious. Welcoming and friendly multilingual staff. The perfect place for a quick and well-balanced coffee while sending off that last email of the day, or having a short chat with a friend!

This place deserve a 5/5. The coffee, cookies and teas are top brand. Service amazing

Great selection of coffees - a wider selection than I’ve seen anywhere in Switzerland. flat white was really good, silky smooth and incredibly well extracted. The Pour over from Swerl was prepared with care! Would definitely recommend a visit!

THE hidden gem 💎 specialty coffee ☕️ shop in Lausanne. Perfectly central location, yet quiet and nice backyard to relax. Spectacular coffee choice and great explanations of origins of taste. Don’t miss to try the Kombucha as well. Various pastry options as well, all rounded with great service !

My only regret was not arriving earlier (I was there 30 minutes before closing), so I could taste more coffee and browse the collection of coffees they have on offer. For a specialty coffee snob like myself, this was a heavenly café to be in. Great coffee, knowledgeable staff and a cute location. Can highly recommend! 😍

Exceptional Coffee. Friendly staff and probably the best coffee you can get in Lausanne around the pedestrian zone in the center. ✌️
