The ambiance is fantastic. It is a small place, and most tables are perfect for groups of 2-3, not more. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have a brunch on Sunday's. They are open til around 11:30pm at night, and have a wine/beer selection. The menu is a small chalkboard with the daily fresh options of salads, toasted bread w/ toppings, and quiches. The desserts are home made, and looked amazing, but I didn't get the chance to try one. I also want to try the tea selection sometime. They have a real coffee machine, none of the nespresso stuff here. The most expensive options on the lunch menu were around 19 CHF.

Was it worth it. Ehh maybe. For this place yes. I had the eggs Benedict and it was on point. The salad was good, bacon was pretty average. I particularly like the bread on the bottom.

What I particularly liked was that I was able to enjoy my food and my company without being rushed

I found this place through a Time Out article I read on the best cafe's in Geneva, and I am so…read morehappy I decided to stop by during my stay. It's a cute, hip. chic cafe that serves, well, chou pastries! They have your typical cream puffs with different flavors, and savory eclairs, which I found very surprising! They also have cute little chouquettes and other viennoiseries. I got the Caramel Buree Sale and Black Sesame chou (2,80 each), and the Chèvre Frais (fresh goat cheese) savory eclair (5,50). All of them were presented beautifully, and WOW. If I had all the money in the world, I might spend all of it on these chou pastries!! the Caramel Buree Sale was the perfect sweetness - just a little bit salty and very very rich and smooth caramel. The Black Sesame was also so amazing. Much sweeter than the Caramel, but it was so creamy and the black sesame flavor was very prominent. The savor eclair was also so devine! the goat cheese paired very well with the artichoke, and the carrots and pomegranate made a nice addition to it. The chou pastry itself was just amazing, and not sweetened, which made it ideal for both the sweet and the savory. So buttery, slightly crisp (but not crispy, if you know what I mean) on the outside and soft (but not mushy) on the inside. I also got two chouquettes (,50 each) for the road because my experience with the first three items were just so darn good. Little did I know that they would barely last 10 seconds, because they were so. frickin. good. I got the plain sugar and chocolate chouquette (they also have an almond flavor), and as i took my first bite of the plain sugar one, I literally said "holy hell" out loud because i was so startled at how good it was. It was light and airy, but also just a little creamy inside. The chocolate one was just as good as the sugar one. I think I easily could have devoured a dozen and not feel the slightest bit guilty. If I lived in Geneva, you'd bet everything that I would be a frequent customer, especially because they rotate their chou flavors constantly, so you'd always get to try a new flavor! The staff was also very kind. For the majority of the time I was there, it was just one girl hustling the floor, and yet she took the time to take my photo when I asked her.

We got there after the morning/early afternoon rush on a Saturday so many of the options were sold out. What remained was good (small savory eclair-type sandwiches that were interesting - most seemed to have Mediterranean-type seasonings/ingredients so a little more interesting and tasty than what you'd find at some traditional boulangerie/cafe). Worth stopping by if you're in that part of the city.

We had the cheese/meats plate and a vegetables gratin at around 15 francs each. The plate was not exceptional but everything felt fresh and there was reasonable variety. The gratin was very good and filling and combined a nice array of vegetables including swede and kohlrabi. The yoghurt with fruit we ordered for the toddler was agreeable and included plenty fresh fruit. The drinks, cappuccino and vin chaud were decent portions too. The basket of bread was excellent with several different kinds and each one interesting. The menu is interesting and to the vegetarian in our family it was felt to be excellent in choices by comparison with many menus in Geneva and Switzerland. The price was very reasonable and we left feeling satiated and delighted to have stumbled upon one of the jewels of Carouge.

Now, that being said, for breakfast, we wanted to keep it light because we would be traveling later that afternoon and didn't want to feel heavy making our way to the airport. It was also Easter Sunday, so most places were closed. Easter is a nationally recognized holiday in parts of Europe, so it's treated much like Thanksgiving or Christmas and most stores were closed. Both factors limited our options, but thankfully this coffee shop was open for business. It was located around the corner from where we were staying, so it was really convenient. They offered an array of pastries and coffee options. We ordered the croissant, fruit tart, blueberry & cream cheese muffin. We also ordered a latte complete with latte art! I think of all the pastries, the croissant was my personal favorite. It was flaky & tasted fresh (not sitting out all day). Although there are many other coffee options in the area, this one is worth trying!

Amazing place! Outstanding food!…read moreI went there with my boyfriend on a Saturday night, I was glad they still had one table for us, even if we made the reservation on the same day. The space is beautiful, well decorated and they have a nice terrace for when the weather is good. The staff was incredibly efficient and nice. We took the suggestions of the day: we ordered oysters for appetizers and as a main course we asked for the hunt, since is the season. Everything was tasty and fresh. Someone came to our table to show the piece of meat that would be prepared for us and I found that gesture very thoughtful. Point! When our dishes arrived they were beautifully decorated and the meat was tender like butter. So delicious! We had cheese and the end of the meal (since this is Switzerland haha) and it was also super tasty and in a good amount. Our waiter was so nice! Keep up the good work! I just wish I could improve my french enough to actually express how much I was happy about the experience.
