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.

Nice cafe that we stumbled on while walking back from the # 4 water taxi to the old part of the…read morecity. 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.

The prices are fantastic. The whole little shop just smells like heaven and it hard to decide what to pick because it is all beautiful and made with love

They're basically little tea sandwiches on white bread filled with crab salad and alfalfa sprouts. I'm probably an idiot because I ordered the "the froid citron" expecting something homemade but got a bottle of nestea. For 4.60 francs. *sigh* My husband's croque monsieur and salad were fairly tasty. They spoke a little English, which helped us with our rusty French. But all in all, I wouldn't walk a mile again to come back here for their lunch. But I'd consider it to try something from their wide array of desserts, purely based on looks.

This place is amazing…read more Is it the best chocolate shop in Geneva or even Carouge? I couldn't tell you. There is an awful lot of awesome chocolate in Switzerland. However - this place gave me one orgasmic thrill after another ... which is not what usually happens when I go to a restaurant - even a dessert restaurant. Non-stop rock your socks off pleasure tends to make me want to come back to a place. :.) The place is quaint cute and charming - but there is plenty of that in Switzerland if you look for it. For me - above and beyond the normal "every piece of candy makes me want to die and go to heaven" business ... there is the question of the hot chocolate - i.e. cocoa - i.e. chocolate brewed up in hot milk. i have had many impressive hot chocolate drinks in my time - from the "pure hot fudge sauce" that they serve as hot chocolate in barcelona - to the submarinos (melted chocolate bars in milk) that they do in argentina and france. as little kid amazing as those drinks are - the Martel hot chocolate is one special kind of beverage. there is almost no sugar in the Martel hot chocolate. So you get just the flavor of very very good swiss milk. (and swiss milk really is superior. it is the milk quality that is the secret behind swiss chocolate). PLUS the flavor of pure cacao - almost like eating an 85% chocolate bar. This is a mature serious cup of hot chocolate - more like drinking a wine than having a cocoa. I loved every nanosecond of it. And yes - the chocolate candies are totally addictive as well. The place is mobbed by locals and rightfully so. It is a wonderful place.

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.
