Lamassu Specialty Coffee

Lamassu Specialty Coffee was a pleasant surprise. It’s not exactly hidden, but it does feel a little tucked away and discreet, which makes walking in feel like you’ve stumbled onto something special. The setup is simple and unpretentious, but the coffee is what really makes it stand out. We tried espresso with milk, and it was excellent. Smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care. It’s the kind of drink that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy it instead of rushing through. What I liked most was that the place doesn’t feel like it’s trying to be trendy or overly curated. It’s straightforward, and the quality speaks for itself. Their tagline about society being “too realistic” made me smile, and I’m glad to say their coffee is good for real. It’s always nice when a spot has a bit of personality without being over the top. Overall, Lamassu is the kind of coffee shop you’d recommend to someone who appreciates good coffee but doesn’t need all the extra fuss. It’s nicr, it’s reliable, and it delivers exactly what you want from a specialty coffee shop.

We had two delicious filter coffees here! Nice selection of beans and the staff was super happy to talk about the coffee, provide suggestions and we even got one coffee that wasn't on the menu. Thank you for having us!

Incredible coffee (with cool contemporary flavors) at a decent price, and close to Zurich HB. They offer student discounts too.

The coffee was really good quality 👌 i bought coffee beans as well and the guy was helpful in explaining coffee types.. you have to go on stairs to reach.. i think they need to have seating area will be better

I have been exploring cafe and coffee beans in Europe. Their bean ‘classic’ fits my preference the most. Significant higher than my second favorite, or maybe there is no second favorite yet. I bought one bag of beans back home. For the first time, I fully understand why some people say that as long as the beans is good, all other factors does not matter anymore, eg, type of milk, technical parameters. Next time when I visit Zurich again, I will definitely buy 10 bags of beans. I wonder could the beans be ordered online and delivered to other countries?

Small coffee place only available for takeaway. Their coffee is very good. You can select your preferred beans. The original one is very good. It would be nice if I can sit and chill there.

The cafe doesn't really provide seating. It's truly mainly for take-away. Staff are knowledgable and friendly. We ordered 2 cappuccino. The crema was very silky smooth. You can choose between different beans. One offers more nutty roasted flavours, the other more fruity. In any case, the staff will be able to guide you if you aren't sure of what you want. Overall, highly recommed. Belongs to the top cafés in Zurich.

Very good selection of beans and the baristas are passionate about coffee and therefore know how to choose the best cup for one's taste. Hidden tiny coffee shop that will blow your mind!
