SHOKO Brunch & Bar — St. Gallerstrasse 1, 8853 Lachen, Switzerland

Outstanding service, honestly the best I’ve ever experienced. The team’s hospitality feels genuine and passionate, not forced in any way. The food is absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with great care and quality in mind. All of this is complemented by a modern yet cozy atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. A place you’ll definitely want to come back to.

We had a last minute request and we were desperate to find the right place to celebrate our civil wedding. Luckly we've known Leena and Shoko bar since the start of her journey, and she kindly offered to organise our little feast. I have always dreamed of a romantic wedding brunch and Leena made my dreams come true: we had the perfect wedding cake, delicious food and unique drinks (as you can always expect from Shoko). I had a very simple yet elegant vision for our table decoration and Leena immediately got me, she made sure that everything was exactly as I wanted. And it was. We had such a beautiful moment, something we will remember for the rest of our lives and this is everything thanks to Leena and her amazing staff!!

A Hidden Gem in Lachen I ’ve been to Shoko Brunch & Bar a few times now, and each visit has been nothing short of outstanding. From the food and drinks to the warm, inviting ambience, everything here feels thoughtfully crafted and delivered with genuine passion. It’s easily one of my absolute favorite spots in Switzerland. Savoury dishes • Shakshuka: If I had to pick one dish that truly stole my heart, it would be this. Perfectly spiced, deeply flavorful, and served with toasted sourdough bread that tastes almost otherworldly. This dish alone makes me want to return again and again! Unfortunately, I was so excited to eat it that I didn’t even take a photo. • Avo Sunrise: Fresh, vibrant, and simply delicious. Comforting yet light – a true brunch classic, done right. Sweet dishes • Choco Berry Dream: Mind-blowingly good! After trying this, I realized I had never truly experienced what proper Belgian waffles are supposed to taste like. Worth a trip from Zurich just for this dessert! • White Chocolate with Orange & Wild Flowers Tart: A unique creation with a sweet, fragrant profile – delicate, surprising, and absolutely memorable. Beverages One of the things I appreciate most is the attention to quality, even in drinks. They offer four different milk alternatives – a small but thoughtful detail that makes a big difference. • Chai Latte: Far more authentic than the overly sweet versions you usually find in Zurich. Herbal, spiced, and perfectly balanced – a true comfort in a cup. • Matcha Latte: Very tasty and not too sweet! What really impressed me is that they know exactly which milk alternative goes best with the matcha flavour without overshadowing it. It’s a perfect example of the restaurant’s commitment to making sure every cup tastes outstanding. • Fresh Lemon & Ginger Tea: Truly the best I’ve ever had. Packed with fresh ginger chunks and the right amount of lemon, it’s both healing and invigorating. The atmosphere & the heart behind it The ambience is cozy yet stylish, with a warmth that makes you want to linger. On top of that, the entire place is spotlessly clean, and it’s clear that great care is taken not only with the food and service but with every corner of the restaurant. Even the bathroom carries that same thoughtful touch – from the pristine cleanliness to the wonderfully fragrant, high-quality soap that makes you smile at this little detail. It’s the kind of consistency that elevates the whole experience. But what truly sets Shoko apart is the spirit of its owner. A charismatic, warm-hearted woman, she opened this restaurant about a year ago — and you can feel that it’s her passion project. I’ll never forget arriving in drenched motorcycle gear one rainy day, expecting to feel awkward in such a beautiful place. Instead, she welcomed me with a warm smile and genuine kindness. That moment alone made me realize just how special this restaurant is. You can tell that every detail — from the dishes to the design, cleanliness, and service — is infused with energy, love and care. And it shows. Shoko Brunch & Bar isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a real experience, one that makes you want to keep coming back. I’m already looking forward to my next visits and excited to see how this beautiful restaurant continues to grow and thrive. Treat yourself and make the trip. It’s absolutely worth it.

I accidentally found this amazing place. The owner Leena was so warm welcoming and super friendly. I had their popular lava chocolate pancakes. The portion was so generous and it was super delicious. I felt one of those cafe's i went in London. Super thanks for bringing a London vibe. Service was amazing. I can definitely recommend this place for brunch or a coffee.

A wonderful spot with an excellent selection of wines by the glass and beautifully crafted cocktails. The Porn Star Martini was absolutely fantastic, and the whole experience was elevated by the stylish, elegant setting. A place I always happily return to.
