About us
Where coffee meets community.
We exist to offer something simple but rare: a space where excellent coffee, thoughtful food, and genuine hospitality come together without pretension. We call it functional unwinding — a place to slow down, recharge, and enjoy something crafted with care.
Our story
From Seefeld to three cities.
DRAFT. Coffee is a specialty coffee shop and café with locations in Zürich's Seefeld district, at Marktplatz in Basel, and in the heart of Bern. We opened our first location in August 2024 on Wildbachstrasse 68 in Zürich, and have since expanded with a full coffee and restaurant concept.
What we serve
Beyond espresso.
Our drinks menu goes far beyond espresso. Alongside perfectly extracted filter coffee and espresso-based drinks, we offer a curated selection of functional beverages — including our signature Matcha Latte, Chagaccino (made with chaga mushroom), and Jamu, an Indonesian herbal tonic. Drinks built around flavour and wellbeing, for guests who want more than caffeine.
During the week, we serve homemade breakfast dishes and fresh pastries — including our cinnamon and cardamom buns from White Rabbit Bakery. On weekends, our kitchen moves into full brunch mode, with sweet and savoury dishes, both plant-based and not, prepared with seasonal ingredients. Our Basel location operates as a full coffee and restaurant, with lunch and dinner throughout the week.
Our spaces
Beautiful, intentional spaces that feel as good as they look.
The Zürich café was designed by RDZ Studio with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic inspired by Scandinavian design — natural materials, beeswax plaster and vintage furniture meet clean-lined stainless steel, including our centrepiece cloud-shaped coffee bar. The Basel venue, on the fourth floor of Globus at Marktplatz 2, brings the same spirit to one of Switzerland's most historic city squares.
Since July 2026, you can also find us in the heart of Bern on the third floor of Globus at Spitalgasse 17-21 — the same philosophy of warm, design-forward hospitality in a new city.
Our philosophy
Great coffee is only part of the equation. The other parts are the people who make it, the space you're in, and what you eat alongside it.
Sustainability is woven into how we operate: from natural and recyclable materials in our interiors, to plant-forward menus that reduce our footprint without compromising on flavour. We also bring the DRAFT. experience beyond our café walls — through event catering across Switzerland, private dinners, and brand collaborations.
