Smart, feel-good bakery bites in the Old Town

Äss-Bar Zürich is a bakery and takeaway spot in Zürich, serving quality pastries and sandwiches at prices that don’t scream “tourist markup.” You’ll find it on Stüssihofstatt 6, tucked slightly back from the street—follow the sign and slip down the short entrance passage.

In Niederdorf, this place keeps things simple and satisfying: think value sandwiches paired with coffee, plus a pastry lineup that actually tastes fresh—jam and Nutella donuts, and a sausage roll they’ll happily warm up for you. There aren’t labels on every item, but the staff are genuinely helpful and explain what’s what (English-friendly, too). No indoor seating, but the benches outside by the little fountain make a pretty perfect “grab-and-go” setup.

WHY VISIT: tasty, fresh-baked comfort food with a low-waste, affordable mindset. PRICE RANGE: budget to mid—two sandwiches and two coffees can land around 16 CHF, which is rare in the city center.

Insider tip: Go mid-morning, ask what’s best right now, and take your haul straight to the benches by the fountain—warm sausage roll in hand, you’re set for the next 3–4 hours of exploring.

    Beste Foodtankstelle in der Stadt. Die Äss-Bar ist keine klassische Bäckerei, sondern ein Ort, an dem Lebensmittel, die noch geniessbar sind, aber vom Vortag stammen, bewusst weiterverkauft werden. Und man tut erst noch etwas gegen Foodwaste. Kurz gesagt: Die Äss-Bar ist mehr als nur eine Bäckerei, sie verbindet Genuss mit sozialem und ökologischem Mehrwert. Ach ja, und preisgünstig kauft man hier auch ein. Das Konzept entstand 2013 im Zürcher Niederdorf, als einfache Idee. Seitdem ist daraus ein Netzwerk von Filialen geworden, u. a. beim Stadelhofen.
