Nice little place to stop off for a coffee break in the Old Town. Didn't order any food as it was only coffee that i wanted, although some of the items on the menu and the pics in the reviews does make it tempting; perhaps next time. That's the reason for no rating on the food, sorry. Shame the mezzanine isn't extended further, seems such a waste that the high rooms wasn't utilised more.

I went there on a Sunday, and it was packed. It was very hot and humid there which wasn't very pleasant. Despite everything, very nice place with books available, and very good pumpkin spice latte (not too sweet for once!)

This place was surprisingly amazing and cozy. It was the last thing we expected and we were very happy to be here. It is a proper English cafe with scones and lots of jams. We had smoked salmon scone and a couple of other stuff and they were super yummy and delicious. The coffee was great too. Was nice and warm on a very windy and cold day. They have a huge collection of books for book lovers who love to spend hours to just relax and read and sip a cup of coffee.

So you can study or work here on the weekend but not with a laptop - only with pad and pen…. Doesn’t make much sense in 2024.

The best teas are Autumn Blend and Beautiful Bee, and don’t forget to try the scones. Especially the chocolate one with cream and chocolate spread. The place is lively, warm, good to work from and kinda the best English bookstore in town to buy new/used books surrounded by a delicious aromas of coffee and baked food.

Great experience in a place that takes you outside of Geneva (great decor). The teas and other drinks are really very high quality. The staff is very involved and professional. We had scones that were a little too dry. They decided to give us 3 extra ones with the correct baking so my friends could experience their excellent scones. It’s a much appreciated gesture that will make me come back often for all the qualities I have listed. Thank you for this moment and keep it up.

I arrived on a Friday morning with my dog and went in try to place the order, the lady told me her colleague would come to take my order, so I sat outside. 15 mins later still no one comes, not a busy time. I went in again with menu in hand , while another two ladies were also asking where to order… looks like they are very laid back, good working atmosphere, but yah … I just have to leave…

The place is nicely located in a side street. The ambience is also okay. Unfortunately, I waited more than 20 minutes to order coffee and paid 6.50 Fr. for coffee with almond milk. I work in service, among other things, and I have a lot of understanding, especially when there is a lot going on. So I was a little disappointed. However, the positive thing is the motivated staff and the coffee was also delicious. Recommended for a cozy break.

There were second-hand books in the corner on the upper floor. The shop owner and clerk were attentive, chatted with me, and were friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere in the store is good and comfortable, suitable for reading a book alone or with friends, and eating delicious waffles. The green tea latte is delicious.

Great cafe with a very cozy atmosphere and really good coffee and hot chocolate. Located very conveniently right close to everything in the old town of Genève. There is a policy of not allowing laptops on the weekend however so be warned. I'm sadly giving -3 stars for not communicating that to me until I was already seated and about to order, while this is one of the first results when you search for a study cafe, it felt like a bait and switch. In this case this ought to be mentioned on a sign outside, and on here.

The place looks lovely but I am rating it low due to the attitude of the waiting staff. We were welcomed by an unwarranted and snarky remark from the person showing us to our table. We were then forgotten there for a long time before having to stop a waitress so we could order. The coffees are small, expensive and arrived cold. We were told that the place was closing around 5 minutes before closing time with the waitress telling us she "forgot" to tell us earlier. Fair enough. As we didn't finish our drinks we took a few minutes to do that and were then told that as they had closed "it would be great if we could leave". It's fair to tell customers they need to leave at closing time, but there are different ways and attitudes to do that. I'm happy to spend more for nice ambiance and excellent service, but this isn't it.

It was strange, I stood at the entrance in front of the "wait here" sign and no one approached me for a long time. The waiter has a strange accent and I didn't immediately understand his question, which was a bit confusing. But overall the cafe is very nice. There were no seats in the first hall and upstairs, so we had to be in the children's area, which is not comfortable at all.

Unique café in the old town of Geneva. The concept is awesome; a book store that serves food and coffees. Gives a coziness like in no other place. Coffee is very good; staff is very pleasant! Note that since it is a bookstore; you cannot take the book and reading while having your coffee. You need to buy it first. Definitely worth a visit!

Went there and was greeted by a lady ( she was eating). I asked to be seated upstairs and she said it was closed for renovations and directed me to the downstairs sitting. I sat for 45 minutes, not a single soul came to take my order. The lady that greeted me, came to clear some dishes and it was that point that she asked me what I wanted. I asked for OJ and a scone and she said there wasn’t any OJ but would get me strawberry juice. I sat for another 30’ and still nothing. I left and on my way out told the lady that I had waited for over an hour and still nothing. She seemed confused and wondered why I hadn’t got my coffee ( I didn’t order coffee). I’ve been there before and a short and bubble lady has been amazing , but todays service was HORRIBLE at best.
