"If I could eat here every day, the rest of my life I would be so happy. It is absolutely amazing and the staff are so nice. There’s not a single thing that is bad on the entire menu. How can you complain when you’re in a beautiful city and there’s a 500-year-old Church and Library next-door? Vielen dank für alles !"

"A really good discovery in town. A wonderful place to have breakfast or just simply to relax. I have been twice there for breakfast and the food was just the freshest and locally produced ingredients. It tasted very delicious. By the way, it is not a self service place. The local staff speak German or Swiss German but not much English. So It could have misunderstanding."

"I had breakfast here before our visit at the Abbey. The orders are very well presented and the staff was nice. Price wise, I would say that the prices are more than fair compared to other cafés in Switzerland. The bread are extremely delicious ! I recommend this place"

"We sought refuge from the snow at Chocolaterie am Klosterplatz, and it turned out to be a cozy spot. The hot chocolate was very yummy, presented with care. We shared both the hot chocolate and a dessert, both of which were good. However, it was a bit perplexing when our request for a second glass of water with the hot chocolate was declined. The service, unfortunately, lacked attentiveness. Despite this, the delicious treats made it a satisfying stop in the cold."

"To have a 68% hot chocolate drink might work even better than visiting the library of the saint gall… (or maybe their official postings photoshopped too much and made it looked way better than how it actually looks) - plus I don’t have too much history obsession…"

"Delicious and fresh hot chocolate! They make their hot chocolate with real chocolate instead of powder. Both the milk and dark hot chocolates were amazing and they came piping hot! I usually find milk chocolate too sweet, but this was just perfect. Perfect for a cold day. The location is great and gives access to beautiful views of St. Gallen. The staff is also very friendly and enthusiastic! The pastries looked delicious too. I highly recommend this place if you're in search of a good hot chocolate in St. Gallen!"
