    I found this place through a Time Out article I read on the best cafe's in Geneva, and I am so…read morehappy I decided to stop by during my stay. It's a cute, hip. chic cafe that serves, well, chou pastries! They have your typical cream puffs with different flavors, and savory eclairs, which I found very surprising! They also have cute little chouquettes and other viennoiseries. I got the Caramel Buree Sale and Black Sesame chou (2,80 each), and the Chèvre Frais (fresh goat cheese) savory eclair (5,50). All of them were presented beautifully, and WOW. If I had all the money in the world, I might spend all of it on these chou pastries!! the Caramel Buree Sale was the perfect sweetness - just a little bit salty and very very rich and smooth caramel. The Black Sesame was also so amazing. Much sweeter than the Caramel, but it was so creamy and the black sesame flavor was very prominent. The savor eclair was also so devine! the goat cheese paired very well with the artichoke, and the carrots and pomegranate made a nice addition to it. The chou pastry itself was just amazing, and not sweetened, which made it ideal for both the sweet and the savory. So buttery, slightly crisp (but not crispy, if you know what I mean) on the outside and soft (but not mushy) on the inside. I also got two chouquettes (,50 each) for the road because my experience with the first three items were just so darn good. Little did I know that they would barely last 10 seconds, because they were so. frickin. good. I got the plain sugar and chocolate chouquette (they also have an almond flavor), and as i took my first bite of the plain sugar one, I literally said "holy hell" out loud because i was so startled at how good it was. It was light and airy, but also just a little creamy inside. The chocolate one was just as good as the sugar one. I think I easily could have devoured a dozen and not feel the slightest bit guilty. If I lived in Geneva, you'd bet everything that I would be a frequent customer, especially because they rotate their chou flavors constantly, so you'd always get to try a new flavor! The staff was also very kind. For the majority of the time I was there, it was just one girl hustling the floor, and yet she took the time to take my photo when I asked her.

    Nice cafe that we stumbled on while walking back from the # 4 water taxi to the old part of the…read morecity. We got there after the morning/early afternoon rush on a Saturday so many of the options were sold out. What remained was good (small savory eclair-type sandwiches that were interesting - most seemed to have Mediterranean-type seasonings/ingredients so a little more interesting and tasty than what you'd find at some traditional boulangerie/cafe). Worth stopping by if you're in that part of the city.
