Mattenhof's new corner café for drinks, spuntini, and a little Italianità

Sempre Berna opened on Schwarztorstrasse on October 18, 2025, a neighborhood café built around drinks and spuntini, small Italian-style snacks and bites. The concept stays simple and sociable, closer to an Italian corner bar than a formal café.

Mattenhof sits south of Bern's city center, and Sempre Berna gives the district a casual daytime-into-evening spot, distinct from the busier old town café scene.

Served by volunteers, relaxed atmosphere, a meeting point that brings life to the neighborhood. A food truck at lunchtime once a week.

Nowhere else in Bern can you sit at a table with Zionist people while an anti-Semitic DJ from the riding school remembers every word, or a former member of the Grand Council, who is a follower of conspiracy theories that rhyme with Rothschild, remembers every face.

It a great place with a social mission. We could get a pro bono consultaion on our start up related question. Also we tried great coffee (sometimes could be an issue to find really tasty one) and ruebli kuchen (carrot cake). Definetly coming back!

A fantastic meeting place with a great team, lovely appetizer platters, and yesterday there was even live music: top-notch jazz!
