Welcome to Horizonte Cafe, a charming spot nestled in the heart of Leysin, Switzerland, at La Cite 40. This delightful cafe is not just a place to grab a coffee; it's an experience that enchants all your senses. Whether you're gearing up for a day on the slopes or simply seeking a serene place to unwind, Horizonte Cafe beckons you with its inviting ambiance and delectable offerings.

The cafe boasts an extensive menu featuring an array of delightful choices. Savory options like the classic Croque Monsieur, paninis, and freshly baked bretzels await you, tantalizing your taste buds and providing the perfect fuel for your adventures. On the sweeter side of things, indulge in their freshly prepared sugar bread for a delightful treat that pairs wonderfully with their renowned coffees. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, guaranteeing a delightful dining experience that lingers well beyond your last bite.

What makes Horizonte Cafe truly special, though, is its spectacular view. Step out onto the terrace, where the majestic backdrop of the Swiss Alps unfolds before you, and enjoy your food and drink amidst breathtaking scenery. As customer Aslan Hezareh expressed, “You stay on the terrace which has a nice view,” emphasizing the cafe's superb location that truly enhances your visit.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy atmosphere complemented by lovely decor, offering a warm embrace on chilly Swiss days. Guests have remarked on the friendly, attentive service, with Chris Henderson noting the staff’s fun, welcoming attitude that makes you feel right at home, even if you're visiting from halfway across the world. The cappuccinos are a must-try, highly praised for their rich flavor, making this cafe a favorite amongst both locals and tourists. And let's not forget the unique home-brewed beer, which adds a special touch to your cafe experience.

However, not everything is perfect, as highlighted by Estelle Dierckx, who expressed her disappointment regarding the no-dog policy. As dogs are a common sight in Leysin, many visitors hope for a more pet-friendly environment, which could enhance the community vibe of this lovely cafe.

In essence, Horizonte Cafe is more than just a coffee shop; it's a gathering place for friends, families, and adventurers alike. Whether you're sipping on a delicious cappuccino while gazing at the breathtaking views or enjoying a hearty meal before heading out to explore the beautiful surroundings of Leysin, you are sure to leave with memories you'll cherish. Stop by Horizonte Cafe for a memorable experience that combines exceptional food, welcoming service, and stunning alpine views—an essential stop in your Leysin journey!

Very nice coffee shop well decorated and wirh nice view. You stay on the terrace which has a nice view. For terrace you have to order at the bar and take your food and drink yourself.

Great service here! Very friendly and fun with us as Americans. Cappuccinos were delicious and we were lucky enough to try some excellent home brewed beer. This became our go to for coffee in Leysin.

I would have happily put more as we love your concept but the fact that dogs are not allowed is really a pity. Everybody has dogs in Leysin and to our knowledge this would be the only place that doesn’t accept dogs (except supermarkets which is understandable). Your coffees are very nice and we would happily come more often but the fact that dogs cannot come is a problem as we can’t just let ours outside after the walks. Hope your policy will change eventually.

This coffee shop (where you can still eat various salty menus) was amazing. Coffees were nice and they also have an original menu. The server was very kind. The view from the coffee was tremendous ;) would love to go back!

A lovely little cafe to enjoy some breakfast before a day on the slopes.
