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.

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.

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.

Was only in Geneva for two days - Sunday and Monday. Was pleased to see this chocolaterie was open…read moreeven though it was Sunday, as most things are closed. (Museums are closed Mondays). Had to get a taste of this famous swiss chocolate! There are many different types of chocolate bars (fairly large) for 11+ Swiss Francs, but interesting because the cacao is from different countries all over the world. There is also a small selection of pastries and ice cream. Our worker was very nice. Accepts payment in Swiss Francs and Euros with contactless payment. We even got a sample of that day's special: toffee with almond in chocolate. --------- J'étais en Genève pendant deux jours, samedi et dimanche. J'ai voulu du chocolat suisse. Des autres chocolatiers étaient fermées les dimanches. Il y a beaucoup de types de tablettes de chocolat (assez grandes) pour plus de 11 CHP, mais le cacao provient de différents pays du monde entier. Il y a aussi une petite sélection de pâtisseries et de glaces. Notre ouvrier était très gentil. On peut payer en francs suisses ou en euros avec paiement sans contact. Nous avons même eu droit à un échantillon du plat du jour.

Tyna was super rude and did not explain the chocolates to us despite us asking. Tyna then asked us to leave our table and said save it for customers with drinks, despite the empty store. Tyna yelled at us for not closing the door behind us and was passive aggressive the entire time. Would not come here if I were you. Do not recommend this place. Chocolates looked average at best and were OPEN, not even in closed containers. I wonder how long they have been sitting out with people coughing on them. How yucky and unsanitary. Tyna also pushed us right out the door the second we received our chocolates. Seemed very annoyed the entire time. Unfriendly and rude Tyna.
