"I was recommended this matcha spot, and I’m so glad I checked it out! The place is absolutely adorable and aesthetic. Their matcha is honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. You can really taste the quality. The customer service was amazing too—everyone was so sweet and the overall experience was great. I’m definitely coming back!"

"Fripsquare is amazing! Their collection of clothes are perfectly curated (expect curated prices though), and they have a good mix of clothes vs accessories. Additionally, their matcha might be the best in Lausanne. I tried their vanilla bourbon and it was the perfect level of sweetness with a strong vanilla flavor! The syrup does have a fairly strong flavor in comparison to the matcha, but you can still taste the matcha and the drink as a whole was so so yummy! My friends got the lobster roll and tuna melt which both looked insane and I got the grilled cheese which was on nice crusty bread! Overall... I will definitely be back"

"The coffee and matcha are incredibly delicious! The food selection is great as well – everything I’ve tried so far has been really tasty and beautifully presented. The café itself is stylish and cozy, but it can get quite busy at times, so space can feel a bit limited. Still, that just shows how popular it is!"

"Nice place, nice menu items and very good matcha, friendly staff and quick service. Rather loud and tight on space so bot best place to work or study, but otherwise a perfect café in Lausanne."

"I had an iced matcha latte and a tuna melt sandwich – both were very tasty! The matcha was ceremonial grade which is what I always look for. The sandwich was generously sized and very satisfying. Also, great selection of matcha and other drinks."

"Coffee and matcha are delicious, but I don't know why the customer service has dropped so much in the last few months... Sometimes you can wait for several minutes while 2-3 staff members mill around behind the till and don't even say "hello" or "j'arrive" or some acknowledgement that you're there. Same when there is a long wait or something happens to delay your drink - I understand these things happen, but it's polite to say a few words to your waiting customers not act like they don't exist. Coffee still the best I've found in the sous gare area!"
