Zurich
At a glance
Olive-Ladencafe combines a neighbourhood bistro, coffee shop and organic grocery store at Allmendstrasse 147 in Manegg, Zurich. The café is designed as a relaxed meeting place, with a familiar atmosphere that suits a quick coffee as well as a longer meal. Classical music and a child-friendly approach are part of its character.
The kitchen draws on a broad mix of everyday café and bistro dishes. The menu includes pizza, pasta, meat and fish plates, rösti, fondue and raclette, alongside lighter snacks and house-made cakes. Vegan choices are given their own place, with dishes such as plant-based pasta and mezze-style plates. The selection makes the venue suitable for mixed groups with different tastes and dietary preferences.
Freshly prepared food is linked closely to the shop section. Ingredients and products come from regional producers, organic farms and established organic brands, and the same type of produce is used in the daily menus, snacks and baking. The shop carries sustainable groceries and household products, while a refill area allows customers to buy items such as rice, nuts and washing powder without conventional packaging.
The combined café and shop gives Olive-Ladencafe a practical, community-minded feel. It works for breakfast-style stops, coffee breaks, casual lunches and relaxed dinners, with Sunday brunch also included in the offering. The setting is particularly suited to neighbourhood residents, families and diners looking for vegan or organic-oriented choices without a formal restaurant atmosphere.
Manegg station is close by, making the café straightforward to reach by public transport. The venue also accepts table reservations through its online booking form, including larger party sizes. The grocery shelves add another reason to visit, whether for a meal made with organic ingredients or for a small selection of regional and unpackaged provisions.
