We didn't have much time, so for the nearby Confiserie Bachmann. The café has a long, narrow space with some tables. Not much ambience. The counter leads the length of the place, offers chocolate (palmines) and cookies, sandwiches, croissants etc., but a disappointing small selection of correct pastries. We managed to fit into a tiny room at one of the tiny tables. We ordered cappuccinos, a piece of St. Honoré-Gateau and a mango and passion fruit cream cake. While the cream cake was rather delicious, the St. Honoré was quite dry and tasted like he could stand around for a while. The coffees were okay, nothing special. The cost of this order was quite steep CHF24! Service was timely and efficient, but irritable. Unfortunately, I remembered too late that I had seen a mouthwater display of cakes in a shop in the station over the street when we arrived in Basel a few days earlier (but only propagates to take away).

Cards accepted as payment. It's a little pricey, but a good option if you want to sit down for a lunch before taking a train.
