Generous portions of pancakes during the week and brunches at the weekend in this trendy Lausanne establishment. Add to that a homemade ginger juice or a creamy flat white and you’ll get your day off to a flying start!
That little extra from the food insider "The Lausanne Guide": The building is nicknamed the Lausanne “Flatiron” as a nod to New York’s iconic pointy-shaped building that recalls an iron.

A stone throw from the Place de la Riponne, the Pointu offers you open sandwiches, salads and soups in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.You can't miss this establishment in the Rue Neuve, as the imposing building is shaped like a point.This establishment has been awarded the “ Café historique de Lausanne ” label established by the city of Lausanne in 2021. The trapezoidal shape of the plot gave its name to the café, Le Pointu (“The Pointed”), previously Le Lavaux. Its exterior architecture stands out in the area of the Rue Neuve. Behind the richly decorated façades that bear witness to the town centre’s development at the end of the 19th century, the recently rehabilitated establishment remains a lively meeting place on market days.
