A delightful little coffee shop located just off of Plainpalais, this place is really easy to miss…read more Compared to the quaint interior, the exterior of the shop is very unassuming, although it was fairly dark when I got there and it may be a bit more cheery during the day. But the homey atmosphere, dimmed ambiance, just-ok hot chocolate are all secondary to what I'm really here to talk about: THE CHOCOLATE-BROWNIE-CAKE-PIE DESSERT. Obviously, that's not it's real name, but having just pointed at our desserts, we didn't actually catch a name. But you can't miss it. It's chocolatey, cakey, and fudgy at the same time, but in absolutely perfect proportions. I was almost taken aback by how easily my fork slid through the cake, and may have actually let out a giggle upon first bite. We also had the lemon custard pie, which was a bit too runny and watery. The thin top layer of dried custard popped upon impact, sending out a slow-running flow of citrusy custard lava all over the plate. Taste-wise it was pretty good, but texture-wise I was tempted to take it home and freeze it for a few minutes. It stays open late, which is a godsend here. But it's not in the best part of town, so make sure you're with a group!

It was close to the bus/tram line, and in a cute neighborhood - when I arrived in early afternoon, an open-air market was just closing down in the plaza across the street, and there was a tasty looking gelato place on the far corner, too. The neighborhood alone is worth the detour. As for the shop itself, I thought it was lovely. It's not huge, but I thought its size and selection were formidable. The brands were mainly European ones that my local shops in California don't carry. Since I was in Switzerland I settled on some Lang yarn for myself - there was definitely a good variety of Lang, and lots of colorways! While I don't have a local yarn shop to compare pricing to for these brands, I felt like the pricing was fair and in keeping with prices I pay for nicer yarns, and especially considering Swiss prices overall. The proprietress was also very nice - she gave some good help to another customer, and kindly let me stumble through my poor French. Definitely worth the side trip!

I skipped out during a meeting break to check this store out as I like to visit and purchase from…read moreLYS when I travel. The yarns were mostly basics from the Lang brand. The prices were reasonable which surprised me given how expensive Geneva is. I did not end up buying anything however because I have enough basic yarns in my stash. The store is cute and spacious, but lacks variety and did not have any hand-dyed yarns, and few, if any, knitting/crochet notions. I think this is ok if you just want to buy basic yarn so that your hands are occupied or if you simply want to give an LYS business (which I generally like to do).
