ballad ™ café - Guillotière in Lyon

"Words? Really? Common, picture say everything! But for 5 euro you can eat, drink, work, listen, enjoy, explore and relax in one hour! My god! Love it!"

"My new favourite chill out space. Ideal if you are with a friend, a group or just want some time alone."

"A bit too crowded and noisy for my taste but a cool place, nice people, and good coffee."

"We had a good coffee and a very good spinach roll here. Inside a lot of people were working but outside and it was really quite but outside in the sun was great."

"Very pleasant surprise! Indian bun was very tasty, tea and coffee also great. We tried a couple of cakes and all of them were good as well. It's a bit loud, but also cosy, as there are many couches and comfy armchairs alongside basic tables. 70% of guests were quietly working on their computers."

"Such an awesome place! Hopped in to escape the rainstorm, and was amazed by the concept, nice staff and the warm atmosphere. The idea of self-service is really nice, makes me feel like home (except my home doesn’t look as stylish :D). Most of the food in buffet is sweet (so for example no salty sandwiches etc.), but there are lots of options and for me it was more than enough. I highly recommend this place!"

"Excellent place to spend time with a friend, work a bit on your laptop, or even for a project-long workspace (they have plans to stay there for a month at an affordable price for freelancers). Coffee and stuff are included in the price. The quality is okay for those not looking for specialty coffeeshop standards. Did I mention the eclectic furniture, the painted walls, the bricks and the plants can just boost your creativity???! Just go, it's great"

"One of the best coffee places in Lyon! Always consistent with quality"
