This is a cool cafe on the main street in Rolle, near the castle and the lake. There's a small but…read moregood selection of homemade desserts. I recently had poppy seed cake and tried my friend's blueberry crumble, both of which were delicious. They have savory dishes and salads, but I haven't tried any. A great thing about coming here rather than a tea room is they have alcohol! Ok the beer choices aren't anything to brag about, but there are some nice local wines. A quirk of this place -- and part of what makes it cool -- is it also doubles as a furniture showroom. Yes, the furniture in the cafe is also for sale. The style is an industrial/vintage look, and has a lot of character. They also have live music in the evenings from time to time. Overall this is a place with a fun vibe, and has substance to go along with the style.

Downside is that the shop closes for lunch so timing is everything.

A delightful little coffee shop located just off of Plainpalais, this place is really easy to miss…read more Compared to the quaint interior, the exterior of the shop is very unassuming, although it was fairly dark when I got there and it may be a bit more cheery during the day. But the homey atmosphere, dimmed ambiance, just-ok hot chocolate are all secondary to what I'm really here to talk about: THE CHOCOLATE-BROWNIE-CAKE-PIE DESSERT. Obviously, that's not it's real name, but having just pointed at our desserts, we didn't actually catch a name. But you can't miss it. It's chocolatey, cakey, and fudgy at the same time, but in absolutely perfect proportions. I was almost taken aback by how easily my fork slid through the cake, and may have actually let out a giggle upon first bite. We also had the lemon custard pie, which was a bit too runny and watery. The thin top layer of dried custard popped upon impact, sending out a slow-running flow of citrusy custard lava all over the plate. Taste-wise it was pretty good, but texture-wise I was tempted to take it home and freeze it for a few minutes. It stays open late, which is a godsend here. But it's not in the best part of town, so make sure you're with a group!

Communication via both email and phone before our visit ( after the auction concluded and throughout the invoice / shipping quote / pickup options ) was prompt and they were kind enough to hold this piece for me until I was in Europe and could travel to Geneva to pick it up in person Something to note - Switzerland is not part of the EU and they are more than happy to provide export papers for a VAT refund. The Mr & I drove to Geneva & it was no problem getting a Swiss Customs stamp at the Basel border. They take your paperwork right there & submit it for you. Can't get easier than this! Thanks Sotheby's for making it an incredible purchasing experience!
