L'Épi Doré in Genève

Sunday customer, I have made the decision to no longer come. The prices have gone uphill, the quality and freshness are no longer there… When the waitress finally understood what I wanted, a ham delicacy and a coffee, I wanted to pay with my debit card the 9.20 chf requested. The waitress tells me that below 10.- chf I will be asked for an additional 20 cents (luckily for me I had a last 20.- chf note forgotten in my wallet). Once served on the terrace, I examine the delicacy. A slice, old from the day before or even older, grayish shriveled and dry at the edges... I don't usually complain, but at this price, you shouldn't push grandma into the nettles. No tip and from now on I will move on!

Great coffee and pastries! Perfect stop for a quick nata! Also had a custom cake for my nephew's birthday which everyone loved. The skating spiderman was perfect!

One of the best Portuguese restaurants in Geneva. The "plats du jour" during the weekdays are delicious and have a great price. The desserts are fantastic, and the "natas" are outstanding.

Too bad I was looking forward to eating a good portion of flan, the quality really wasn't there, the cream was too sweet and the dough wasn't fresh, it stuck to the palate and it was impossible to cut it, really disappointing! I do not recommend this place!

Very unpleasant cashier. Expensive paid for unpleasant service.

unfriendly, unpleasant, haughty, bitter... I have no other words to describe the boss's behavior. She talks nonsense to her employee in front of everyone and treats customers terribly. I don't recommend this place at all, I still prefer McDonald's.

Too bad, I was looking forward to a good king's cake and in the end... the quality was very mediocre (rancid)... disappointed with the quality and above all very expensive... Another one who prefers profit to quality ☹️☹️☹️

The boss told me not to need customers like me (yet I modestly believe myself to be quite honest, very courteous and a loyal customer) so I doubt she needs customers like you. Avoid, go elsewhere if you want to be served with a real smile.

Good products but very unfriendly and haughty staff. Damage.

Delicious croissant, pastel de nata.

The old lady at the counter was extremely rude. Food is great- but service is abysmal. To be able to sour someone's take out experience takes a special type of skill.

Terrible boulangerie. Sandwiches were old, obviously refrigerated to several days. Staff was very rude. Avoid at all costs.

Carac wasn't good but the rest of the pastries were really good!!

Unacceptable and disgusting! Cockroach in the cake! I order a slice of this chocolate cake at the end of the afternoon, I see that the saleswoman places the other part of the cake in a sort of metal cabinet so that it is no longer visible to customers. I don't wonder about the moment and eat it at home. I normally eat it until I bite into something. There I realize that I ate half a cockroach, I have been having allergic reactions ever since. It’s disgusting!!!

Full of cockroaches… if you like insects I recommend

Excellent service, delicious cakes and pastries. Excellent coffee. Highly recommended.

A hearty pastry/cafe with pasteis de nata! 😉

The best birthday cakes, period!! The diplomat cream option with strawberries is undoubtedly a success. We have been coming here for several years and always have the same satisfaction. Well done to the team!!👏

Sweet and savory generally excellent but kindness is not necessarily the best point of this tea room.

The sandwich that I ordered with a coffee was served on a slate, not hot as usual, too hard and it seems to me that it was not the custom in this bakery and pastry shop. I paid 23 francs.

The prices are very high and the owner is unpleasant. Instead, cross the plain, a much better bakery awaits you.

Yesterday I came there were cockroaches walking around the bakery, there were even those from the market who said it and it's true I never saw them again I would come back

It's a great restaurant but I've never been there. I have NO idea how a review was associated with my name...? It's a mystery.

I'm a regular, always fresh and good, The warm and attentive staff

Much too expensive, the cookie was super dry and too sweet, what is normally heated in the press was heated in the microwave out of laziness. I don't recommend it at all...

Very good Portugese style brunch,pastries, and desserts. Their bread gets sold out very fast, so you need to be an early bird during the weekends.

We stopped for a hot drink. Decent service but hygiene really needs to be improved. We saw things that quickly made us run away

Last Saturday, as usual, before going to the flea market, I had a cappuccino and a croissant. Around noon, I went back just to go to the bathroom. The boss called out to me out loud: “to be able to use the toilets, you have to consume!! » I replied: “but you don’t remember me? It was even you who served me this morning! » his employee nodded to confirm my words. What a shame in front of all the customers!! How can you speak like that to a loyal customer for over 10 years!! I will never set foot there again.

Unpleasant and rude waitress, unacceptable behavior. The service continues despite the fact that the bar closes and clears us like messes.

🥰🥰 Nice cafe on a nice day ❄️ We also ordered a birthday 🎂 cake and it was elaborate and delicious 🫶🏾 Thank you.

It's a perfect place for breakfast. A kind woman will welcome you with a smile.

Guests are welcomed with very kind service. The baked goods are very delicious. 👍

Just magnificent and super good cake, thank you very much.

Friendly, all homemade, nice salty/sweet variety.... Pleasure for lunch or treating yourself to a pastry. The girls are adorable. Absolutely worth discovering!

Delicious appetizing products. Nice tea room with terrace in fine weather. Average service, prices a little expensive for certain products

Quality is top, however, TWICE using an app. To buy there (tooGoodToGo) they were extremly unpolite, even did not know what to tell you once you arrive and ask fotlr your pack of food ... it was even closed! The worst is that they do not care about time you expend going there and back. That was months ago, and they still sell food through that app. Amazing!!

Lots of choice, fresh and homemade. Helpful and friendly staff.

The daily specials are excellent and complete (starter, main course, dessert). I enjoy it every time. You can also take away and that suits me too.

Children seem to be not welcome there. Hello and goodbye 👋🏻

Friendly, delicious cakes etc, daily special at a very reasonable price

Very good cake! Super delicious I am 100% recommending this bakery again! I will always order birthday cakes for my children here 😍

Varied salad with 2 honeyed goat cheese toasts that are just too good. Very warm and pleasant place. Two visits and jms disappointed.

Lovely pastries. The accra de morue is to die for. The made a baptism cake for my nephew which was just fabulous. Tasty too.

Very good with different products

Great coffee ☕, cream cakes ñan..ñan.😋😋very good and great service..The varied and exquisite bread..Located in Genève (Switzerland)

We had a bad experience when ordering from a sm..d delivery partner for Easter with this bakery! To be delivered on Easter Sunday (in this case for a wedding anniversary), we booked and paid for a cake a week before. On the day of delivery, 10 minutes from having it delivered, we received a phone from the delivery partner, to tell us that they would not deliver the cake to us, because the bakery had disposed of our reserved and paid cake, and had simply sold it to a customer! Knowing that for us it was a wedding anniversary cake, it was a big disappointment! We had to call several bakeries to try to get a cake urgently, not easy! Never again !

I arrived at this café restaurant one day by chance. I was looking for a place to have coffee and feed my baby. From the outset I felt that I was not welcome. The waitress barely looks at me. I try to pass by to settle in with the stroller and come across the owner, I think, who is no more friendly and makes me understand that me and my stroller were not welcome. So we left without the owner apologizing or even saying goodbye. Terrible service. Parents, don't set foot there! I strongly advise against it!

staff not very smiling and unfriendly

Very stressed staff, speak very loudly. In terms of service, improvements need to be made!

I have never seen a business owner as dishonest as in this pastry shop. For a first and last exception I was very disappointed. On 02/11/2022 I called this bakery to place an order for a cake. The boss asked for a photo on WhatsApp to confirm. Then she gave me the prices. When we agreed she told me to come to the store to pay a deposit. Arriving at the store the price increased. Plus, she couldn't do all the decorating. I found myself one Saturday afternoon finding a new pastry shop. In addition, a very arrogant way of speaking.

Don’t hesitate to stop by and taste the cakes!

Badly polite waitress, I asked her for a “sonho” cake. Madam told me I am not “Portuguese”. She doesn't have to be but at least be friendly and polite not respond aggressively. Plus no toilet paper.

I ordered a coconut birthday cake for 87 francs for not much... It's really not aesthetically pleasing, they made it blue for me when I asked for white, fruit that doesn't go with the color cake, khaki macaroons, and above all a forgetting of coconut in the recipe, in short nothing to do with my request. I neither had what I wanted visually, nor the taste I was looking for. The cake doesn't make you want to taste it but the staff is very welcoming and the rest of the products offered are pretty.

We ordered a cake for our child's confirmation, as always delicious and very well decorated. Our guests loved it. We thank the boss for her Good advice Thank you and see you soon !

From time to time, after my fitness session, I stop for a coffee and a pastry in this tea room and I have always been satisfied. However, today what was my surprise to see that the health pass was not checked there, making it a cluster for catching Covid. I hope it was an oversight otherwise I wouldn't go back.

That's not what it used to be... too bad.

The lunch dishes are really not good

Like many reviews here, we ended up in this bakery on a Sunday morning after the market, looking forward to tasting cheeses and cold meats purchased with good bread... which at best was from the day before... never seen that: dry and tasteless. The bread from the coop is a thousand times better and crispy. Never again !

Amazing pastries, great coffee, and above all, really friendly ladies manning the bakery. Just really polite and happy. Loved this place

Very good breakfast, very smiling and friendly waitress!

Deplorable service without respect for customers... the menu does not correspond at all to the announcement in the dessert menu included in the menu not of the day

Very good pastries Friendly welcome

Unpleasant, even unpleasant staff.

I'm not in the habit of posting negative reviews about merchants...but this is deserved. It's neither cheap nor good at all. As proof, I want the raspberry donut (well, you have to look for the raspberry) of which you will find the attached photo. It's dry, compact and barely garnished. in short, to flee!

Pretty bakery, everything makes you want 🤤

Clean, friendly and good products

Warm and friendly team, a place on a human scale, and magnificent cakes, always a pleasure to stop there when I can, the owner super friendly, go there I recommend!

I rarely give bad ratings but the pain au chocolat bought this morning were really dry and indigestible.

I haven't gone today but I like this place.

The best coffee! Delicious cakes!

I don't know about anything about their prices or their quality, but the shop assistant was kind

I wonder where the blue binder of my friend who worked in this bakery a few years ago went...🤔 Good evening to you and good luck!

Everything is good (setting, nice waitress, visuals) but unfortunately, my rating will focus exclusively on the plain flan (flan tart) which was just... Bad! Very bad ! The worst I've ever eaten. (flan inside lover). The salty dough without flavor and not cooked. The tasteless flan. I smell neither egg nor milk... Makes you wonder what it is made of. Yuck! Damage. Thanks for the welcome nonetheless.

Bad Portuguese pastry, pastéis de nata, terrible, nothing to see a few years ago??

Too expensive not very pleasant

Don't brother to use TooGoodToGo app in this café :/

I bought a quiche from there and it had mold on the top, also the woman working there was very rude to me.

The waitress (around forty years old) was extremely unfriendly and rude.

Among the best places in Natas de Genève

I bought online through the app TooGoodToGo and I have the disappointment of my life: the breads were very dry and tasteless, the food in general was worthless. On the top of that they dare to respond in a rude manner. [The kilogram of flour costs 4.10chf maximum, how much could you have used? So, if you don't agree with the price you receive with this app, maybe you should no longer sell your products there. Everyone would come out a winner] (Hey people, don't get me wrong: the app is normally very good, but this coffee shop is just bad, read all the comments.)

Too noisy the boss speaks too loudly. Poor knowledge of French when serving a customer in a bakery. The fresh squeezed juices she offers (orange juice) are not fresh, she prepares them in the morning too early. The café croissant offered at a fair price of 3.90 is good but we would prefer a fresh croissant, because it serves the croissants from the day before. Otherwise the place is cozy.

Yesterday I went to pick up a cake for a birthday, very disappointed. The sponge cake was sooo thick and dry and there was only whipped cream on it and in it. I thought the middle was a vanilla fruit cream. So CHF 100.- too expensive for what it was There was also a problem with hygiene, the bag of one of the employees was on the work surface and on a cutting board was a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Magnificent staff, good treatment and good food.

I have been going to this tearoom for 10 years and I have never been disappointed. The service is always friendly and efficient and the homemade products are excellent.....especially the natas, by far the best around.

Wonderful place ! Pretty appetizing cakes and an incredible team

I bought a strawberry diplomat which I didn't find good! I was surprised to see the thickness of the gelatin on the strawberries 😳 First time I've seen this, but I'm a foodie and I've had some pastries.

The best place to get a cake in Town 🎂

A simple Portuguese café, we only had a quick breakfast there. The quiches, croissants are really good, so is their fresh orange juice! Nice and friendly people.

Very friendly, good stuff and the staff is great.

Super warm welcome from the staff, very reasonable price, we go there relatively often and we love it!

Very good space expensive products

Very disappointed, food as deplorable as the service but still less filthy than the owner's good manners...

very nice place 👍 good pastries

Unfortunately the service is declining, and the prices are not justified. Bad atmosphere between the employees and the boss, epic scenes!!!

Wonderful Portuguese bakery, very nicely served thank you

Good like in Portugal. Closing your eyes feels like you're there!

nice Portuguese bakery. The dishes offered are very good (quiches, soup) as well as the dish of the day. fast, efficient service with a smile

Good service friendly good food clean pleasant

Good bakery there is better but satisfied

Very noisy, we came as a family, 4 people, paninni, pastries, hot drinks for children and adults. The idea of ​​the open space is very nice, just that the handling of the dishes by the staff is unbearable, since no partition or wall dampens the noise. We had the concert of cutlery and plates and the staff did not seem to realize the resonance in the back of the room, because throughout the tea time we were treated to noise. As for drinks, a spill was ordered, no presentation, no foam, just a simple glass of coffee and milk. Coffee is appreciated not only for its taste and smell but also for its presentation, even a first-price machine gives a better presentation than this spill that was served to me. Very disapointed
