Zurich’s Café Solino fights loneliness with 35 years of community warmth
For 35 years, Café Solino in Zurich has offered a warm refuge from loneliness. Open every weekend, the café provides a space where people can chat, share stories, and feel part of a community. Supported by the city of Zurich and the Solino Foundation, it serves as a social hub for those seeking connections.
Located at Aemtlerstrasse 43a in District 3, the café opens its doors every Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 8 p.m. Guests are welcomed into a relaxed setting where no purchase is needed—though non-alcoholic drinks are available at low prices. The atmosphere feels like one big family, according to both volunteers and regulars.
Café Solino continues to thrive as a place where loneliness can briefly disappear. With its welcoming environment and dedicated volunteers, it remains a vital weekend destination for connections. The café’s long-standing presence in Zurich highlights its importance in fostering community spirit.
