Conor Sen: Best bakery in the city. Order anything (morning buns, ham and gruyere croissants, etc); you won't be disappointed.
louda bay: In love with their porcini (or shiitaki) gruyere croque-monsieur. And the coconut cream pie.
Anika: The Gruyere gougère is crisp and soft and delicious. Their standard croissant is near perfect. And try the lemon cream tart instead of the popular bread and butter pudding

Ryan: Try the Cave Aged Gruyere, the Cabot Clothbound, and the Pleasant Ridge Reserve.
Michael Meadows: Try the Breakfast Sandwich - Gruyere, grilled mushrooms, eggs and pancetta. This is why you should make time for breakfast.
Sarah Hernandez: The Wagon Wheel and Gruyere cheese is the perfect combination for a delicious grilled cheese! The flavor combination of the two cheeses go together perfectly.

ReeD: Vegetarian? Caprese or Harvarti Sandwich. Meat? Prosciutto Caprese. Excellent cheese, from an amazing Cave-Aged Gruyere to hard-to-find Appenzeller to Papillon Roquefort. Locals: Teleme and Baserri.
Alan R: Awesome selection and killer "freshly made" sandwiches.
Kristen W: They used to stare at me blankly when I asked which cheeses were vegetarian, but now they mark which ones use vegetable rennet or microbial enzymes :)
Rolo T.: Can't go wrong with anything here. My faves are any of the scones, pain au chocolat, ham and gruyer croissant (have them heat it up in the oven for a few minutes).
Marite Carrasco: Gruyere and ham croissant is ridiculously good.
Andrea Moed: When they ask you if you want your quiche warmed for 1 min in the micro or 5 in the oven, hold out for the oven.
Wilson Favre-Delerue: Follow-up tip on the menu: this Swiss traditionalist recommends keeping it simple, i.e. sticking to the "original" (Emmentaler & Gruyère) or "half & half" (Gruyères & Vacherin Fribourgeois) fondues.
SFGate: Fine cuisine featuring many Swiss specialties in a beautifully crafted dining room. Delicious fondue: cheese, beef and chocolate. Read more.
Joe Grasser: Slowwwwwww service
