This is the cafe in the park at Mon Repos. It's a nice shaded area with small tables and chairs. It's a convenient place to stop and have a coffee or tea if you're visiting with children. There is a playground right next to the cafe. The waiters were efficient and friendly and the prices were reasonable. The cafe glace was good. I would definitely recommend the coffee. They also make a pistachio expresso that tastes really good.

Great crêpes, wonderful ice cream (get there early as the ice cream flavour options decrease as the day goes on. Mango is wonderful...in fact every flavour I tried was amazing; chocolate, caramel, lychee, lemon sorbet, raspberry :)

A peaceful place to seat and eat a simple crepe with sugar or honey, they also have natural juices. This place is in the middle of Mon Repos parc, one of the many lovely parcs of Lausanne. They don't have a fixed schedule.
