Mornings start with espresso and pastries from our own Conditorei, baked here before we open. Stay for a second cup, read the paper, or meet someone you haven't seen in a while.
No rush. That's the idea.
[Who started the café, and why. How it found its place on Dorfgasse, which kitchens and countries shaped what we cook, and when the first painting went up because a friend needed a wall.]
[What we want people to feel when they walk in.]
Breakfast turns into brunch, lunch into aperitivo, and on some evenings the tables are laid for dinner. A short menu that changes with the season.

Owner of ADAM'S Cafeteria & Conditorei
«Gutes Essen macht Menschen glücklich.»
Good food makes people happy.
My name is Sofia. I was born in Horgen, my family comes from Morocco, and my life has been made of journeys and changes of work, some of them sudden. This is my story.
My parents came to Switzerland from Morocco before I was born. I was born and grew up in Horgen.
My love of cooking was handed down to me by my mother. Meanwhile I trained in foreign languages, which have stayed with me as another great passion to this day.
I trained as a quality specialist and worked in Switzerland for a well-known engineering company: workshops, inspections, procedures, attention to every detail.
That job taught me a great deal. But my passion was still the kitchen.
Then came Italy. That is where I started working in restaurants, both front of house and in the kitchen: serving, listening to guests, learning the rhythm of a service.
In Sweden I refined my cooking skills and learned the local techniques.
That is where the plan to create something of my own was born. First Nonna Maria, an Italian food truck; then a cooking school, where I began to teach what I had learned.
Finally I came back to Switzerland, and back to the kitchen. It was not always easy: starting over, finding my place again, sometimes taking one step back to take two forward.
After a long time I made the decision: to open something of my own. That is how ADAM'S was born, in Horgen, where it all began.
A café, a Conditorei, a kitchen and a little room for art. There is a piece of every stage of this journey in it.
Everything here is prepared with a lot of love, and with the precious help of my daughters. Thank you for your help, your support and for always being by my side. I am incredibly proud of you.
[Their names and what each of them does at the café.]
For me, good food and art belong together. That is why paintings hang on our walls and why we cook for openings and events, like the Sensorik-Apéro at Kunstraum Kesselhaus in September 2026, with homemade specialities, olive oil and wine.
We bring our kitchen, and a bit of the café, to your office, your home or your event.
From a breakfast for your team to an apéro for a big celebration: we cook the dishes we serve at the café, prepare them fresh and bring them to you. Every proposal is made to measure.
