Looking for a «hygge» place in Bern? Look no further – Pusterum exudes coziness and Danish charm. It is like home beyond home: perfectly suitable for burying yourself in a book, a good cup of tea or a relaxing evening beyond your four walls. Because the premises are quite big, the noise level is pleasingly low, contributing to the chilled atmosphere.
I particularly enjoy the delicious cappuccino and the Kanelsnegle (sticky cinnamon buns) - especially (but not only) on a lazy afternoon on a sunny day in the seating area under the deciduous trees out front.
Another compelling argument for taking the short tram (or bike) ride from the city center to the Mattehof quarter is the multifarious activities you can attend at Pusterum: boardgame nights or pub quizzes accompanied by locally brewed beer, dancing, concerts, knitting, and the list goes on... It is definitely worth checking their homepage.

"Zytglogge-Pissoir" in Bern is a place for gents to pee around the clock on the medieval watchtower. Where else can you pee on a 500-y.o UNESCO site?
