1. Adrianos Bar & Café: The Heartbeat of Bern

Start your morning at Adrianos, right by the iconic Zytglogge clock tower. This spot is a local institution-beans are roasted in-house, and the café bustles from breakfast to late afternoon. Grab a Café Crème, snag a seat on the terrace, and watch the world go by. It’s the perfect place to people-watch or strike up a conversation with a fellow traveler.

2. Café Marta: Cozy, Creative, and Perfect for Solo Travelers

Tucked away in a vaulted cellar, Café Marta is a sanctuary for creatives and coffee lovers. The Emmental-roasted coffee is rich and smooth, and their chai latte is a must-try. The huge cushions and quiet corners make it ideal for reading, planning your next adventure, or simply relaxing after a morning of sightseeing.

Ready for a little detour? Head to Rösterei Kaffee & Bar, a favorite among locals for its single-origin brews and relaxed, friendly vibe. The terrace is a sun-soaked gem-perfect for solo travelers looking to unwind or strike up a chat with Bern’s coffee aficionados.

4. Einstein Café: Sip with a Side of History
