Sisterfields ; Café in Lausanne’s Cité

A Family Café in the Heart of the Cité

In the heart of Lausanne’s Cité, this café is much more than a simple venue. It is a true refuge for lovers of coffee, brunch and good food. Born from a family adventure, it is led by Emma, who gave it its name. In a neighbourhood steeped in history, this picturesque spot charms with its old-fashioned atmosphere and unique appeal.

Sisterfields ; A Vintage Decor

Past the glass door, the café welcomes you warmly in an atmosphere of brick and bygone days. With furniture largely sourced second-hand, the place feels welcoming and familiar, just like home. A few green plants add a pretty contrast, and the café even sells them. An original idea for plant lovers.

Sisterfields ; Good to Know

The café is on Rue de l’Académie, in the heart of the Cité, a stone’s throw from the cathedral. The neighbourhood can be reached on foot from the Palud via the Escaliers du Marché. The m2 metro also stops nearby. The address suits a brunch as well as an afternoon break. In the same neighbourhood, Amici (in French) and Holy Monkey (in French) extend the day.

Sisterfields ; A Friendly Café

Social media made this address known, and it deserves several visits to form an opinion. As soon as you cross the threshold, the decor and atmosphere are instantly appealing. The team has carefully worked on every detail, leaving nothing to chance. This particular attention makes the experience most pleasant.

On the menu, coffees and sweet treats are good, even if the café latte seems a little expensive. Sweet or savoury toasts, cakes, matcha, chai and fresh juices complete the offer. A few puns on the menu add a touch of humour. The desire to do things well is clear, and the team makes everything itself. An address to remember when passing through the neighbourhood. For other gourmet breaks, the selection of cafés in Lausanne (in French) also holds lovely surprises.

Around Sisterfields ; A Stroll through the Cité

The café is a few steps from Lausanne Cathedral, a 13th-century Gothic masterpiece. Every night, a watchman still calls out the hours from the bell tower, a tradition unique in Europe. The cobbled lanes of the Cité then invite you to wander to the Château Saint-Maire. The wooden-roofed Escaliers du Marché lead back down to Place de la Palud. A break at Sisterfields thus fits perfectly into a stroll through old Lausanne.
