I was at the end of my run and in need of shade and a beer when I spotted this from the pier. the staff are beyond friendly!!!! The beers are cold and flammkuchen tasty! If you’re in Interlaken you have to stop by. The decor and setup is also very laid back / boho-ish.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a great find in Interlaken! Pier One Café totally made our day. The coffee was honestly out of this world—some of the best we've ever had. You can really taste the love they put into it. The staff were super kind and welcoming, and the whole vibe of the place was just so chill and cozy. It feels like a little hidden gem tucked away in Interlaken. If you're around, don’t miss it!

“It’s my last day in Interlaken, and after a tiring afternoon, I didn’t feel like doing much. I searched for a coffee shop to relax, charge my phone, and get ready for my return trip home later in the evening. I ended up at Bistro Pier One, and it was exactly what I needed. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the staff made me feel so welcome. They truly saved my last few hours in Interlaken. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing spot to spend time with friends or family. If you like warm food in the winter, I recommend soup of the day

The other place outside that you could eat your food and have your coffee and it was beautiful The cake we had was great and there was a lady singing something and that was good too, and I had a very good atmosphere and you could see water flowing past you and it just felt really good I’ll definitely go again I didn’t get to check the Top facility ease or anything like that so I couldn’t tell you about that but it had a very cozy nice vibe to it

Pier One Coffee Bistro is such a gem! The food is delicious and authentically organic – I especially loved the avocado bagel, the homemade chips, and the croissant. The view is beautiful and relaxing, and the service is incredibly good and welcoming. Highly recommend!
