Why “Spindel”?

Winterthur was once a city of spinning mills. In 1802 the Spinnerei Hard began spinning cotton by machine. We spin nothing but stories over coffee.

Kafi Spindel is a small neighbourhood café with its own bakery: Gipfeli and bread from our oven every morning, a fresh soup and a few lunch dishes on weekdays, Swiss classics among the cakes and a Zopf brunch on Sundays.

From the mill to the cup: one thread.

A quiet café room with round wooden tables, stools and plants
