Le Pain Quotidien in Genève

The tastiest croissant in Geneva

The food itself was delicious but nothing too extraordinary. When I ordered the eggs with ham I expected it to be incorporated in the eggs themselves, not just put next to them. The croissant was very good and the spreads they have on the table matched perfectly. Also the ginger lemonade is very delicious.

Like at home!!! Breakfast in a warm and cozy setting, everything I love! Well done!!!

Thank you very much to Arlène who offers superb service, always smiling and helpful! Ideally located, the setting is friendly and the food good!

Superb croissant! This was our first meal when we visited Geneva, we didn’t expect everything to be that pricey but realized later it was average pricing there.

Excellent ! The staff is very cheerful, I had a great time!

Great time, the food was great. Little shout out to Arlène who was great!!!!

Great place for brunch, the food is delicious and special, worth a try

Hello, my son loves coming to this place. The products are very good and the service is pleasant. We are Calax, nothing to say.

A big thank you for these delicious brunches! My companion and I would particularly like to express our sincere thanks to Arlène and Aline for the excellence of their welcome, their impeccable service and their kindness. Aurélia and Marcelo

I loved ! The atmosphere matches the quality of the dishes offered and the friendliness of the waiters and waitresses makes this place my favorite place to have breakfast in Geneva :)

Excellent service and very good catering.

A very pleasant place, a top team and impeccable service! I recommend, they are worth the detour!

I highly recommend this place, the staff is very pleasant👌🏾

Very good breakfast to share on a large common table or not...

They open at 7:30 am but by 8:30 am their kitchen is not open for breakfast. I’m sure the founders of “Le Pain Quotidien” would be proud of what the brand has become in Switzerland! Get your act together and get staff that is slightly more polite

Despite an event in a separate room, the staff were very attentive and pleasant. What a pleasure this good humor. And the salmon avocado toast is definitely worth trying!

I recently visited Le Pain Quotidien in Geneva and I would like to highlight the excellent service I received. The team was extremely attentive and professional, especially one bald employee whose first name I unfortunately don't know. His attention to detail and ability to anticipate our needs was simply impressive. I would also like to thank his friendly colleague who helped us during our visit. His kindness and smile added a warm touch to our experience. Management should be proud to have such a dedicated team that cares about the well-being of its customers. I am sure that with such talent, these employees will have a bright future within the company. I will not fail to return to Pain Quotidien during my next visit to Geneva, hoping to be welcomed again by this wonderful team. Thank you again for this wonderful experience and see you soon!

The service this May is absolutely INDECENT. 15 minutes to be served a coffee by the waitress who takes all her time and has the charisma of an oyster. Serving customers is not his greatest quality. She is slow and passive... I work and I don't have time to wait 15 minutes for a coffee that I already pay very expensive for. This is unacceptable. I will not return to this establishment which recruits unqualified people or experiment in the service. This is immense contempt for customers. Disappointment at 5fr but I don't set foot there anymore.

Very pleasant, atypical place, in the heart of Geneva. With good service. I recommend

Very dirty. Waitress “cooking” prepared food with dirty hands - they are smoking, touching cash without using any désinfection after. Will never come back and will never recommend to others.

is nice, pet friendly 👌, excellent food and their staff is just awesome

Excellent welcome, fast and efficient. Thanks to Carolina for her kindness.

Very nice place in the center of Ginevra, they save me with vegan option

We are in Genevre and we discovered this lovely café in the center rive❤️❤️ we enjoyed our stay here so much, the service was excellent, the food great and abundant! I really recommend it!🥰

Very pleasant and kind lady who serves Rive's daily bread, always a pleasure to taste their very good, healthy and hearty dishes :)! A big thank-you !!

Excellent croissants and excellent staff, Carolina was super nice and helpful in the morning. Please open one in St Gallen

We had a delicious breakfast at this lovely cafe! Staff member Carolina was so welcoming and caring🫶🏼 we loved it 😊

Exquisite!!! Fully recommended. Carolina's attention was phenomenal.

We had a wonderful experience. Carolina and Mônica were great and super attentive to us. I highly recommend it.

We came for breakfast and had lovely pastries and bread. Great experience. Delicious coffee with very friendly service.

Amazing find, service was great and very friendly. Would recommend if visiting the area

Nice place for a coffe and bite to eat. When it gets busy, I noticed, that waitress is struggling with both serving and cleaning tables as it seems there is only one person at time for a large amount of customers

We had a very nice time with good coffee and so many options of jams and nut butters. The lady that served us was extremely kind and helpful. This place definitely worths a visit.

Amazing Carolina is a great host 🤩🤩

A beautiful place for the perfect brunch. They have lots of formulas and the ambiance is just marvelous. They have lots of chocolate spreads made by them. I adored this place and the eggs are perfectly prepared

The place is so very clearly understaffed and the waitresses look absolutely overworked to the point that it actually makes you feel bad for them... Consequently, they forget about basic customer service and start yelling at each other across the restaurant room, sigh at your face, throw cutlery at you... Food is ok, although a little too industrial and standardized to match the authentic and rustic vibe the brand positioning is aiming for and is clearly overpriced for the product quality you get!

Incredible dish, friendly and very friendly waitress! To recommend

What a joy to start the day with an excellent brunch. The welcome and service are particularly warm and pleasant. Congratulations 👍

Pleasant place for the lunch break, to chat with colleagues while eating healthily.

Welcoming staff and good coffee!

We went for brunch. The dishes are very expensive compared to the quality. For jams, only 3 jars already well prepared are lying around on the table. Tried 1x never again

We were fortunate to drop on this place and enjoyed a lovely varied and wholesome organic breakfast. Beautiful, quality, tasty, fresh ingredients and great coffee. Thank you!

We went for Brunch, was great quality and freshness of the products and a good quantity too, add a great service and you will have a lovely moment

Top fast service Clean tables 👍 boiled egg cooked perfectly and croissants really good

Extremely high prices for what you get, very bad/arrogant/rude service from the lady that served us today (17 July 2022). I will be avoiding them as much as possible, and will go to the bakery across the street.

Magnificent welcome! always received with a smile, we eat well and we feel good there :)

Very expensive and little choice

great place. The brunch is a fest for the kings... very good!

Nice retro atmosphere, very good bread

Friendly place, very good food, delicious brunch and breakfast! I would come back with pleasure

Great ingredients, nice space, super central position. The waitress was extremely kind! We had a great time. These tartines cost around 18chf each, and the cappuccino I had was about 5chf. Common Geneva prices.

Still no problem. Always pleasant service

Great quality food. Their assiette botanique is recommended!!!

Good food and service. Reasonably priced. Outdoor seating.

After many years without going there, I found the same choice and the same quality of products there.

Nice, they offered to make me a sandwich since there was nothing left and more vegetarian, well done and thank you

Being passing through Geneva, very pleasantly surprised by this little place 👍. The little extra (very smiling and pleasant service). THANKS.

Very small place , hot and dirty I am not going there again

Very good surprise in the heart of the city of Geneva not far from the crowds and busy people: a little haven of peace for a full breakfast. 4 slices of wholemeal bread with butter and jams, pain au chocolat, orange juice and coffee. Served by Monica, smiling and sweet. The price of 16.50 chf can actually make you tremble a little but it is common to this Switzerland and especially to this canton of Geneva...

Excellent coffee. Attentive and fast service

Cozy and friendly place with tasty breakfasts menu : Worthwhile making a visit. Enjoy 😉

Quite good quality comparative to the pricing, quite friendly staff

Amazing I would come back, the new waitress is so cute. ✅

Warm atmosphere, very good cappuccino

Water help! Water is the price of Champagne! Even if we have the bubbles, it goes badly. For a quick lunch break between two meetings, the wait is long (around 20 minutes for a salad and a toast) and the discovery of the bill (salty like sea water) is a very unpleasant surprise. Too bad, what will remain is a very unpleasant impression of exaggerated prices even if the salad is well served. I don't think this is a good way to attract customers.

Tuesday September 22, server not friendly, waited 15 mm left...

I use to live next to Le Pain Quotidien, just felt so good to go down the road and have quality brunch/breakfast.. Miss this place!

Breakfast during the week, only one employee who cannot leave the counter and seems overwhelmed. Since I can't eat dairy products because of my son's allergies (whom I'm breastfeeding), I ask if there is an alternative to butter for my toast. Unfortunately they have nothing to offer me (no almond paste, peanut butter or margarine). Damage !

One word: Disorganized level 1000! We were served 1 hour after our arrival, even though the table next to us ordered at the same time as us. The service then began but in a completely disjointed manner, i.e. cold brunch coffee, non-existent orange juice. There were parts of our brunch missing that we had to request... As for tastes, an unripe avocado used for Madame's toast, jams that we are still waiting for, a soup without seasoning. A very, very bad customer experience this Sunday.

Very good service. Good quality food. Friendly staff. Would definitely go back

It was meh at best. They brought our food out intermittently which was terrible because things were getting cold while we waited for the rest of our food. They also got the food order wrong. Anyway we never complained. Some insight about Geneva; so most restaurants that we’ve eaten in, maybe 8/10, the people serving in the restaurants have been very miserable. Shame really. But I think this is typical of french speaking people. Seems to be the norm with them.

This bakery has managed to preserve a warm and conducive character for a good moment of relaxation. We feel good there, and the service is pleasant. Everything is good for your health! Organic breads and desserts. Even the coffee is organic 👍🏼😄

Very good initiative to offer local and organic products, friendly staff

Very good and above all offers vegan and vegetarian dishes

0 really unacceptable reception shameful for a business in Geneva I had never been received in this way yet I am a very friendly person it's really bogus very familiar expression like the person who supposedly must receive

Had a sunday coffee and cake at this coffee shop. The seating area was rather cramped and when looking in the menu is seems that the selection had reduced compared to the past. Despite the size there was only one waiter / counter cleck, who was competent and fast.

This restaurant is really a huge disappointment compared to that one on Boulevard Favon...the staff seem totally overwhelmed and badly organised, and the food is below average. Such a bad service and poor quality overall... over 20mn waiting for a burnt quiche, which was apparently a normal thing to get according to the waitress!!! Also, the lentils dahl was over-watery (it looked more than a cheap soup than a proper dahl). Finally, when asking to pay, the waiter at the counter was ready to charge us 4 dishes instead of 2: the problem is that they don't give the customers a proper bill before they pay, they just mention a total amount verbally then the customers need to mentally make sure the amount is right. We won't come back for sure to that place.

25 minutes waiting and no one came to ask about our order

The bread is good and the coffee too. Only one person serving for the entire restaurant, which was very full that morning. She remained quick, smiling and efficient.

The taste of the coffee is very average. The setting is very nice with a pleasant little terrace.

Good breakfast. Good coffee. Friendly place

Unattentive staff, rarely smiling. Sitting down at a table on the terrace certainly means confronting a cake or other dish with a full ashtray. Bebel's plagiarism: "this is the wrong place". Or maybe it's because of the music, which gives this pseudo-intellectual something. We’re in Genèèève! Too bad because in general it's good but expensive.

Great quality food and atmosphere but tiny portions at exorbitant prices (around CHF16 for small breakfast)

To share a breakfast with gluten-free or other bread as well as soy milk. A wide variety of marmalades. The big table is my favorite. I like sitting around a table with lots of new people. There are also tables for two. The daily bread is a real sharing that is always helpful, early in the morning.

Here you can have a colorful and tasty breakfast on Sunday

Small restaurant, kitchen is not open all day

Nice lunch idea and very nice cheesecake.

Despite a very nice place and very good breads (that's what earned it our 2*) the brunch went very badly. Long waiting time to place the order, forgetting several elements of the brunch (and this was valid for all tables, we discussed with other customers) when paying, I said that we were missing some croissants, so they offered us to take some to go, but, after checking, they no longer had croissants (for a bakery, that's a shame) I was then offered to choose a vanilla cross and a vanilla bread. Not liking either of them, they offer me an orange juice because they can't give me a discount on the price of brunch. There were only 3 waitresses that day, clearly not enough, given their obvious stress.

Amazing food with equally as amazing, accommodating and friendly staff.

Nice place where the food and service are at their fair value

Breakfast at LPQ Geneva with my kids. I thought there was a global standard for the chain. The Geneva branch is obviously not previewed. Service is slow as it is understaffed. The pastries are dry as they are not fresh. The avocado toast is straight out of a vintage museum. The waffle with berries is taken off the shelf and some random berries added on top overflowing the plate. Cappuccino served with powdered Chocolat on top ... they stopped doing this in the 90s... And to top it all a broken record of classical music that keeps skipping. This place is a disaster and needs some serious attention. LPQ Management please take note.

Horrible reception 😰 offbeat brunch with my girlfriend, a lot of waiting... Promise of gluten-free bread and in the end no....in short, completely disappointed...too bad!!!

Nice place, attention to detail, possibility of having breakfast with fresh bread and countless types of jams. It feels like staying at grandma's house in the countryside. Very good food.

Bright and airy space, great & friendly service

A little too expensive for the dishes offered. Avocado 🥑 toast has gone downmarket... too bad

Disastrous welcome unfortunately, a shame because the place is really nice!

Very nice experience for Sunday morning.

Great welcome, super croissant, chocolate bread, fruit salad and fresh juice to die for. Bravo finally for super food

nice place for a family breakfast, a bit expensive although...
