Sawerdō in Genève

Perfect for weekend brunch! The interior space is very small but the setting is magnificent and the service is quite fast.

Delicious bread and many options. I really like the croissants too, buttery with a crunchy exterior and soft middle. Nice surprise

Perfect setting, perfect food and perfect service. Camilla was fantastic and was even willing to play Cupid. Would definitely recommend.

Hello first the food is amazing and ines was super helpful and kind it was busy yet she was smiling and answering ecery q I highly recommend it to everyone

I'm shocked. I bought a pain au chocolate and it was taken and given to me with bare hands. No fork or patisserie instruments. I was too traumatized to say "No thanks, it's not hygienic " but this is is my last visit.

Very flaky homemade croissant, but too sweet. The upside down half full. All for CHF 7.40. It's way too expensive.

Great little Sunday brunch! Full but the great waitress found us a place as quickly as possible, very friendly and professional service. The food is good and their drinks are hot too. I recommend !

Don't go on a Sunday around noon. Fortunately the waitress who took care of us, Camille or something like that, was very pleasant and took good care of us. She was very charming and gave us good advice. She found us a place quickly. The place is warm, there are always a lot of people. I commend the staff for their professionalism. The food is good but the bill is as expensive as the haloumi.

Great food. Gets quite busy but no wait for us. Friendly service!

Rude staff the two times I went there. Exorbitant prices. I'm used to Swiss prices but here it's downright shocking. I order a chai latte this afternoon, I receive a very small minute-made chai (not even infused) served in a small takeaway glass that you would use for a small espresso coffee and the waitress (unpleasant) charges me for it at 7 chf! I ask her if she got the wrong glass, she says no, sorry and turns around. I will never set foot there again.

Great discovery in Geneva. Hearty dishes, very beautiful and good. Welcoming staff. Brunch or bread: the best

Best bread in town and what to say about the breakfast / brunch 😍

Cute cafe. Delicious breakfast options. Had the Shakshuka. Loved it. Excellent breads too.

Perfect for brunch! We also took some pastries to go which were delicious.

Great variety of artisanal bread and great selection of craft beer in a cosy atmosphere with friendly staff.

Great place for brunch. Had eggs benedict with bacon and this is highly recommended. Small spot, so if you come on Sunday, come just before the crowds at 9.45

Sourdough life!!! This place is super cute and very convenient close to the train station. Amazing pastry and the bread is to die for. Great food, even better staff and amazing ambience!

Very delicious breakfast/Brunch ! Great service.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Only negative was that it’s not pushchair friendly and would be difficult for a larger group. Works well for 2 or 3 people inside, or larger groups outside in summer.

Highly recommended spot for Sunday Brunch. Ambiance is cozy, service is warm and meals are amazing 😍

The food is great, especially the salty menu.

No good... We had an unpleasant experience on a Saturday morning due to the mistreatment of a waitress. She was completely uninterested in processing our order even though it was busy. Consequence… we left without finalizing the order and never again in this place. Point bar.

Simply impeccable: the flavors, the location, the professionals at work, the chilled terrace. And kefir drinks. And brunch? YUM. But 8 CHF for a loaf (of small size) is still a killer. Another visit: 11 CHF for a small rye loaf. Mamma mia!!!!!!!!! Why not 19 francs? At this level we are above ground.

Bakery and cafe Very tasty for breakfasts but the coffee is average and not special

They have the best brunch options. Even though I am not a French toast fan, however I have to say it was the best French toast I have tasted 🤤🤤🤤🤤 you must try it!

A nice brunch place that has a nice menu full of options, including freshly baked bread and artigianal beers. It has a nice terrace where you can enjoy your brunch while the weather is good. The cappuccino wasn’t great but my brunch dish was an interesting and tasty combination of avocado, salmon and berries. Overall liked the food.

Tasty food, beautiful presentation

Welcoming café for an express breakfast ☕ 🥐 Very fast service, with outdoor and indoor tables. The pastries are very good, and go perfectly with fresh orange juice and/or coffee.

The service too slow food below average 👎🏻the coffee americano has brown color

Just tried their new pain d’Alepp at home with my own version of Shakshuka…. Delicious 😋

Brunch here is incredible! We had no wait for a table but this place does stay pretty busy for brunch it seems! The food was amazing, we had the brioche french toast, avocado toast, and the eggs Benedict with bacon. Everything was perfect. We also tried their iced beverages, the iced latte was delicious, the chai was very good, and the hot cappuccinos were also very good. The chocolate milk was not quite as chocolate-y as we would have liked but it didn't detract from how great our meal was. The patio can be a little noisy so if you want to sit outside just know there is obviously going to be some street noise but it is a very pleasant area so we didn't mind. The service is also very good, and you can buy bread from the counter; I recommend the baguettes! Overall a wonderful place to eat.

Very good as well as being very nice😊

poor service and much too expensive for the quality… however the bread is good

Excellent bread and the eggs Benedict were also very good but the service was really slow and unsatisfactory. A cappuccino with a milky taste, some forgetting about the order. This really leaves something to be desired considering the price…

Delicious shakshuka 😋 Pet Friendly - Saw other people with pets. At a walking distance from Gare de Geneva (main train station)

Very popular brunch and coffee place. It's always full and hard to find a table but be patient, the wait is worth it. The coffee is great as are the meals and especially their bread and pastries. The service is great even though one can see the team gets overwhelmed with the orders

The best bakery in Geneva for me. Excellent brunch, efficient and smiling service.

Nice place, good for brunch, some original recipes, good, central but peaceful location, nice pastries

No welcome, no hello. They served me a flatwhite with spoiled milk. The sloppy milk was visible through the glass! No apology was offered. It's a shame because I liked going there from time to time.

Nice place to grab lunch or brunch. They have inside and outside space. They make bread themselves which is very fresh. I love the crunchy bread they serve with the dishes. Overall it’s not a woa but I will come back for the bread.

The service is bad and slow, the cups are dirty. Their famous halloumi dish arrived burnt and they forgot the sandwich

Very slow service . We waited almost 45 minutes to get our breakfast the halloumi was burnt! And They miss some of the order:(

Excellent bread, friendly service

The bakery that I discovered is simply incredible! Their products are of exceptional quality, with a variety of delicious artisan breads that will satisfy the most demanding palates. The pastries are divine, light and crispy, a real delight for breakfast. The staff is warm and welcoming, always ready to advise you and show you their latest creations. In addition, the atmosphere in the bakery is friendly and pleasant, making it a perfect place to relax over a pastry or brunch. Creativity can be felt in the dishes! Simply beautiful and good!

My favorite bakery! Excellent products and real quality sourdough bread, finally!! Very good service, always welcoming and friendly! Thank you, see you soon😄

Poor menu, coffee and pastry is mediocre, not many options apart from that

Delicious menu, exquisite mix of tastes and flavors, and very good service, friendly and efficient! Thanks to the Sawerdo team!

At least every other day to enjoy their excellent dishes and very friendly service.

In 2022, I recommended this place, because the menus were original, the service was perfect and the price affordable. Today, it's quite the opposite: - very long service - Dear - many menus have been removed. There are still the fried eggs... And at the end, the lady has the nerve to tell me that I can tip. What nerve.

Terrible. I would give it a zero stars If I could. Service was rude from start to finish, and the food was overpriced for simple, tasteless dishes. Shakshuka was basically tomato soup with feta. I would only recommend going here if you have at least two hours to waste. The food was as said awful. The service a disaster. You will wait and wait and wait, at every step of the process. Again, the food is not worth waiting for - not even 5 minutes. It was overall a very bad experience.

Rediscovered the taste of bread at home, thank you Sawerdo 🙏😘

The food is amazing! We ordered hallomi grill, French tast and shakshoka. Coffee is not that great though.

I love the pastries, babka, pistacchio danish - 5-stars baking. Never tried the cooked/brunch options. The terrace is not bad, but it's on one of Geneva's main road. Coffee could be much better. The interior is really cramped and I was never compelled to eat in because of it.

Waited for over 30 minutes after ordering. The two servers did not put our order through and didn’t notice how long we were waiting. Horrible service. Avoid.

Bored-looking server did not put our order through. He walked by our table several times and did not notice we did not have out coffee or food. We asked another server where our food was, and she chastised our server, so she at least is on top of things. Our server then did not offer to fix anything, so we left thirsty and hungry. I think he did this on purpose because we are Canadian tourists.

Impossible to reserve for brunch and no exceptions made! Too bad, because we would have loved to test it but impossible to wait in full sun with a 4 month old baby!

Nice place to grab lunch or brunch. They have inside and outside space. They make bread themselves which is very fresh. Our dishes are quite nice (egg benedict bacon, another one with salmon and last is halloumj). I love the crunchy bread they serve with the dishes. Overall it’s not a woa but I will come back for the bread.

Discovery meal this Thursday lunchtime and what a disappointment!!! Lots of people on the terrace, only one waitress who is willing but overwhelmed while the owners and/or associates are tasting rosé wines on the terrace. They didn't really seem concerned about the chaos of the service!! Above is a chef's assistant who has just returned from shopping at service time! Anyway we order 2 pulled beef and 2 beers. When the glasses arrived we preferred to drink from the bottle rather than from dirty glasses (disgusting would be a more appropriate term). The arrival of the dish also surprised us. The slices of bread are (too) generous and (much too) thick to be eaten properly. It's good but stuffy and difficult to eat. Worth seeing again in my opinion... 21- for a beef sandwich placed on a bed of salad it's a bit expensive I think... even for Geneva. When the coffee arrived, the cleanliness of the spoons also disappointed us and forced us to use the queue to stir our coffees. As 2 catering professionals our conclusion was that there was only one washing machine which washes both glasses and dishes, which was confirmed to me by the waitress. If you are reading this, gentlemen bosses, you must invest in a second machine and above all focus on the details (dirty toilets, terrace with dead plants not swept...) because there was nothing professional there.

While in Geneva, one of my objectives was to find the best croissant! And it was here I had been to four other places one was OK

A big fan of this place, the bread, sourdough, the decor but what has made this place famous in our family is the French toast. Exceptional! To dream about it at night. However, this is the 2nd time that it is no longer exceptional. The 1st: generous portion, super thick bread but with a slight lack of soaking. It goes. The 2nd time: less generous portion (3 of us took the bread) but the problem was that it was dry. Totally dry! There was only one out of the 3 that was acceptable, we reported it to the server. But what frustration, what disappointment. I hope it's just a passing error...

great food; fresh and tasty! super friendly staff and overall cozy and hip ambiance.

Best bread in town, by a mile; sourdough and made with love. And when the bread is not as good as expected, they offer a bad bread day discount. Fantastic brunch, although space is limited. They serve shakshouka, eggs Benedicts and a few other delicious dishes. Fantastic staff. Wholeheartedly recommend

Had the grilled cheese, really good.

Walking with flip flops is prohibited, you have to be barefoot and wearing a swimsuit even if you don't bathe, but everything is excellent, the price is very good 7fr for adults 3fr for children

One of the hippest place in Geneva! Very quality food. Service is quite overwhelmed over weekend brunch (avoid)

Delicious bakery offering a interesting and original menu for lunch and brunch Superb quality of ingredients for their hamburger 🍔 and sandwiches Great place to chill out at anytime of the day Brunch is an excellent choice especially if you have plenty of time as service can quickly become slower Service is welcoming and friendly

Best bread and croissants in Geneva. They are just amazing. Taste and quality are amazing highly recommended.

Superb place for brunch, very sophisticated presentation and incredible taste. Very cool staff, I recommend. 🫶🏼 (PS: too bad you are not better referenced on Google when looking for brunch in Geneva)

Good bakery for breakfast and brunch but very small interior space and a little expensive menu. The setting is magnificent and the service is quite fast. It is better to arrive early to take advantage of the whole menu and to have space if there are many of you.

The welcome, the team, the bread, the pastries!! What a joy I recommend without hesitation

Overpriced mediocre brunch. Automatic coffee machine. The barman scooped the cappuccino foam from a saucer and when the cappuccino arrived it really had a sad look... we asked for a glass of water for our son and were served an (opened) henniez 50cl bottle for which we were charged 5.50 CHF (while they had bottles of tap water on the counter).

The location is good and the atmosphere of the place has a certain charm. However, the service is unprofessional and prices clearly over-rated for the quality you get. Disapointed.

A good place for breakfast or brunch, with a pretty full menu which leaves a lot of choice: from pancakes with pistachio and maple syrup to bread with olives and origano, from a normal coffee to kefir. The bar itself has a very suggestive look, with space inside and outside to sit, and certain places equipped with charging ports, even USB and direct USB-C. And with the plants and tap water served in old wine bottles, this place has a strong artisan look to it which creates a very cozy atmosphere.

The brunch and vibes are great. If the coffee was better, it would be a place to recommend. Not the best place if you like good coffee.

Best croissants in Geneva! Beautiful bread!

Very nice brunch spot, the shakshiuka and the halloumi are a must !

Excellent service! The red-headed waiter (Guillaume) is particularly friendly! 😊

Best bread in Geneva. Also an amazing brunch place on weekends if you can get a table

Delicious food, always messy but has this great vibe 🤍

A cool place, probably one of the best identifies the area. Breakfast starts at nine and before that you can have pretty good pastries 🥐 The coffee was OK , a little weak and paste was good. We didn’t try the actual breakfast yet, but we’re planning to come back and get some stuff for our way

Lovely staff. Delicious products 😊

Warm welcome, surprising décoration and amazing food. Tasty, fresh and healthy. The best Shakshuka ever. Congrats, Bravo, Mabrouk

Cool place for lunch or brunch! Finally some real good tasting sourdough bread in Geneva ⭐️

Very good food. Efficient and fast service. My third visit and I will return.

Disappointing. Seated at the table we are asked to shift for the first time. No worries, we move aside to make room for the arriving family We are then served a drink in a dirty glass with leftover orange juice sticking in it. The cutlery is brought to us mechanically, I take my napkin, it is taken from my hands to put the cutlery on it. Then they bring us a second glass, the waiter puts the water in it then puts his finger in the glass to remove a little thing floating in the water and serves us this glass where he put his finger. We are asked a second time to postpone in view of everything that happened before, we refuse thinking that it is exaggerated. This time it's the gentleman at the counter who comes to us in a state of stress asking us to move aside again. He speaks in an unpleasant tone and replies "I'm going to tell people that they don't have a place because of you". So we decided to cancel our order and eat elsewhere. At Corde Coffee, 5 minutes walk away and it was incredibly good.

Superb almond croissant, refreshing interior. Can‘t recommend the coffee though, a proper espresso machine and oat milk would be great!

Lunch during the week and brunch during weekends are both awesome!

An ideal place for a brunch with friends! The shakshuka is a real delight and the pains au chocolat are delicious. The different sourdough breads are also very good.

Best sowerdo bread in town! Lovely place, delicious food and coffee but can get very busy. Therefore, I personally prefer to buy the bread and croissants to takeaway.

The best bakery in Geneva. The staff takes great care! 💚🐺

I am really enjoy 😍 food amazing

The variety and originality of the breads offered by Sawerdo undoubtedly make it the best bakery in town!

Brunch was very tasty and they are really friendly. I would say it's quite expensive but it probably isn't compared to other places in Geneva.

Never ever will come back again…. The most horrible service I’ve seen in Geneva…. It started with the empty soap in the toilets, I’ve told this to the waiter… the soap didn’t appear even after 1,5 hours of my stay. I had to remind about my coffee three times… food was good except the hardest ever toast, which was almost impossible to cut with the knife…

Breads of this magnitude are rare in Geneva, and maybe even in Switzerland if I dared... Bravo!

We visited at a quiet time though this place gets busy normally filling rhe seats inside and out. Coffee and croissant is very good as is the smiling friendly service. This place has its particular character as you will observe from the single interior marble table. A good experience where you may also purchase your bread.

For the last restaurant of the year, it was a pleasant discovery with a special menu for December 31st. I can't wait to go back in 2023

Best brunch in Geneva. Beautifully decorated . Trendy. Good vibe. Great music.

Not charismatic waiter! A little unpleasant. Sorry to bother you !

Not recommended. I’m updating my review as every time we come back it gets worse and worse. Price/quality ratio is off - we tried brunch, lunch, stoped for a coffee, take away bread and pastries. I evaluated it as 5 stars when they just opened, then 3, and now it doesn’t deserve more than 1. I find it unacceptable that in a place that specializes in pastry and dough they serve croissants like the one in the photo. I took two for take away and they were the same - dry, clearly overbaked, tasteless. Quality control wouldn’t hurt.
