As part of a small Linienstrasse/Gormannstrasse cultural monopoly—the cafe, Mietradmitte and Karlito Apartments are all operated by the same Mittite—Lois is the community center that unites the trio.

No larger than an oversized walk-in closet, Lois is intimate but not claustrophobic. With an attractive group of regulars, a solid collection of magazines and coffee and fresh breakfast and lunch-time snacks, Lois is the perfect place to quickly sip an espresso at the bar or unwind for a few hours, one cappuccino after the next.

The freshly baked pies and tarts, not to mention savory quiches and lovely little sandwiches, make for a perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up. And once you are back on your feet and fully caffeinated, stick around for cocktail hour—the bar is fully stocked.
