It's multilevel and there's a parking lot underneath, just not that many spaces so during high traffic, you'll be lucky to find a spot. When we went, the parking sign said 9 spaces open. Crap. Luckily we did get a spot on the last floor. We headed to the elevator and as we approached our final destination, I smell...what do I smell? Bread? The doors open and I see sushi? And all these artisan breads and king cakes. We bee lined to the escalator as we were not ready to do grocery or chocolate shopping yet. So we climbed...all the way to the tippity top passing the women's section, men's section, kid's section, shoes, etc. to the top floor where it was electronics and passed that was the restaurant. More like a cafeteria, where you can have pizza made to order with your selected toppings, freshly made pastas, breads, desserts, smoothies, juices, and espresso drinks. All pretty well priced and everyone seemed to be there. Water is thankfully free. We got a dessert and a smoothie. Definitely not your standard cafeteria fare. I would think Google cafeteria quality. After getting our lunch on, we headed down back to the grocery area to do some shopping. There was so much to think about buying that I didn't know where to start. Definitely a sensory overload. We went straight to the biscuit aisle where we decided on some capucines. Then saw some 50% panettone and got a pandoro for 3.50 CHF! Then we went to the cheese and salami area where there were some sales on cheeses. So many! We basically got a bunch of on sale cheeses and a dried sausage with walnuts. SO GOOD. It's definitely a grocery store with your standard meats, fruits, veggies, etc. but the quality seemed a whole lot better than your Safeway or Luckys here in California. After playing in the grocery store, we went to the chocolate area where every bar you can think of was there from Lindt & Cailler to just random ones like Ovalmaltine. You will not find Ghirardhelli or Scharfenberger so definitely expect very european chocolates. There were liquor/liqueur filled ones even with Absinthe. It's like a chocoholic's paradise. Manor is definitely a great place to get your grocery goods as well as everything else for that matter! I will definitely go back here for the food.

As everyone knows (or should be aware of), Geneva is ridiculously expensive. As a long-term…read moretraveler, I couldn't afford $25 meals every lunch and dinner, so I settled for bad $11 gyros during my first day in Geneva. That clearly wasn't going to cut it for my 5 day stay so I searched out grocery stores. The one nearest my hostel, Lidl, was OK, but it was extremely small and still quite pricey. Then I found Manor and my life was changed. Ohhh large grocery stores with extensive prepared food sections! How I love thee! I don't mean to mislead - this store is still expensive, but I was able to get a sufficient amount of food for 2 meals for $16 without using an oven or stove top. I call that a success for Geneva standards. This store also has clothing and other items, but I stuck to the grocery section.

This store is near my office and I am always walking by. During nice weather they will hang clothes outside on the sidewalk so you can't help but see the discounted discount items as you pass by. I have found some GREAT deals here. The store was recently renovated and is small to medium sized. The staff are present, but not pushy, and let you search through the store without feeling like they are breathing down your neck. Here you will find many name brand clothes at discounted prices, such as, Iceberg, Valentino, Versace, Diesel, and much more. There is both womens and mens clothes as well as some shoes.

I don't speak fluent French (okay, I don't speak it at all) but I was able to get by quite well with the associates who worked there. Or, I think I did... I ended up visiting a couple more coops while staying abroad, but I enjoyed this one due to the vast selections of products (I even did some light grocery shopping here) plus their cafe/takeaway food area as Mindy H. pointed out below. Not sure of what the difference between coop vs. coopcity is, but I'm guessing the coopcities are specifically in largely populated areas, similar to how target has city target in more urban dwellings?

I can't think of any other department store like this in Geneva or the US that can bring so much happiness to me (perhaps some Asian dept stores can...). P A R K I N G Parking at Manor is crazy. There's multiple levels underground and it's super tight. Be good and have a small car or walk like we do. I N S I D E There are multiple floors of varying goods. First floor is food and groceries. You can get fruits, veggies, pastries, cooked food, wines, cookies, chocolates, charcuterie, cheeses, you think of food, they have it. They have these mini walnut sausages that I've never seen anywhere else. They're expensive, but we treat ourselves to it whenever we're here. Second floor is a mish mash of things but mainly beauty, so lotions, hair dryers, perfumes. Next couple floors are clothing for men and women of course separated one for men one for women. Then there's toys and stationary and luggage.
