Cafe Conditorei Rosenstadter - Uster

We were on a tour to Heidiiland and we kept in the picture perfect, beautiful city Rapperswil and our guide recommended to try the cheese cake,,, when in Switzerland... why not? It was delicious. Like a 3 cheese pizza, but better, with a little crunchy ground. The very friendly server had warmed it for me, we had it to go and it was amazing. It was about 6 francs and was very full and definitely worth trying. Yum!

It was worth the train ride from Zurich to Rappersvil about an hour) for the hot chocolate and a variety of croissants, cinnamon rolls, apple strudel etc. The cafe is on the road from Rappersvil Train Station, just to Macdonald. If you move to the golden sign, it's over there. Not only the hot chocolate warmed us physically, our hearts were warmed up by the friendliness of the locals with their cuppa there. They saw that we were such a large group of 12 people) of cold enthusiastic travelers, a few tables of the guests quickly stood up to give us their place, their drinks ended. It's a cozy place. They could have stayed to socialize with their party as it was a Sunday afternoon. They gave up their seats voluntarily. We were touched. It made the experience very warm. After that you spend some time walking to the Hilltop Church or just walk along the tree fed paving through the water.

Our guide for the day suggested that our group stop here for lunch; that they provided fast service and that it was reasonable at least for Switzerland. The place was quite busy when we arrived, so not all that fast, and while not what I...would call reasonable pricing for lunch, it was after all in Switzerland. Fortunately we were brought English menus, and while we still needed a helping hand as to what we were actually ordering, in the end, the food was tasty and enjoyable.

The day was beautiful when we stopped here . Lady did not speak english but brought us a menu in english. The outside section was very busy with locals and we enjoyed sitting for a while and watching the busy area. Food was very good.

Visiting Rapperswil on a Sunday we stopped for afternoon tea at this delightful cafe. The little cakes were very light and tasty and far better than those in the expensive Zurich cafes! It was relaxing to sit outside at a little table, sip coffee and...watch people pass by. There is a glass display case, to choose whatever catches you eye. Look out for this cafe whilst in Rapperswil as we found it to be a very pleasant surprise.
