A place of peace and inspiration

The MOMENT Café is a quiet oasis in the middle of the city. There is no music and people only speak very quietly and to the bare minimum. The MOMENT Café is characterized by its innovation and uniqueness and is a strategically located retreat in the heart of the city. It offers a place of peace and quiet and invites you to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Sustainability and mindfulness

The café stands for sustainability, mindfulness, care and balance and inspires a conscious lifestyle. It welcomes everyone, regardless of age, religious affiliation or world view. The neutrally designed space is deliberately free of religious or spiritual symbols to create a welcoming atmosphere for all.

Library in the tea café

The GGG Stadtbibliothek Basel offers a small but carefully curated library of books on philosophy and spirituality in the MOMENT Café. These can be read in a quiet and beautiful ambience, and members of the city library have the opportunity to borrow the works. In addition, the library has a selection of in-house books and magazines that also invite you to linger.

Room of Silence: Meditation and Reflection

Adjacent to the tea café is the Room of Silence, an oasis for meditation and quiet contemplation. This room, equipped with mats, cushions and benches, offers the ideal setting for reflection and contemplation. The simple and neutral design allows everyone to practice their own personal meditation. Guests can use the room during opening hours and are invited to contribute to the funding of the room. Outside of regular opening hours, the space can be rented for meditation events or courses.

Introductory courses in meditation

The MOMENT Café regularly organizes introductory courses in meditation, which take place around six times a year on three consecutive Wednesday evenings. These courses offer a comprehensive insight into the world of meditation and teach various techniques. They are ideal for people who are new to meditation and a good opportunity for experienced meditators to refresh their practice. The courses run from 18:30 to 19:30, with the opportunity to chat over tea afterwards.

Products to enjoy at home

Visitors can also purchase a selection of products to enjoy at home from the café, including high-quality teas, organic herbal teas, traditional panettone and inspiration cards.

Events and room hire

The tea café is also available for events with up to 50 guests. It is suitable for a variety of events, such as concerts, readings, lectures, family celebrations, team events, workshops and courses. The meditation room is an ideal place for courses and therapy sessions. It is currently home to the book club "Die Welt lesen", Holistic Yoga Basel, Katerina Wen Yoga and the contemplation group of the ARS VITAE association, among others.
