I had read all about the infamous Luxemburgi when planning our trip to Switzerland, so when we…read morefinally got to a Geneva Sprüngli was one of our first stops. The location is inside of a department store so not the easiest to spot from the street although their window is street facing. I purchased a box of 15 for my family of five. We tried several different flavors and all were delicious. Unlike a macaron these are bite size and very airy. If you limit yourself to three you'll be craving more. Also unlike a macaron these will not travel well. These are meant to be enjoyed right away. A box of 15 cost about 17 CHF. I'm not sure you can find these anywhere but Geneva so make sure to stop in and try some.

We walked by a few times and the luxemburgerli (which we thought were mini macarons lol) kept…read morecatching our attention. Decided to go check them out and bought a small box with 11. Received great service in choosing the wide variety of flavors available too! :) Definitely recommended on your visit to Geneva!

For starters, the aesthetic in this store is amazing! It's so pretty inside and there are some…read moretables if you choose to sit and eat. I love just how many flavors there were to choose from besides the typical fruits that everywhere else offers. And the macarons themselves are delicious! I normally don't have much of a sweet tooth but I thought these were great. And my friend went through 6 in one sitting!

As documented through an earlier review, my only other macaron experience was at a McCafe. That was…read morenot a good experience. Laduree in Cours de Rive is the Geneva branch of the famous French store. The boxes come in units of 8, 12, 15 and so forth, with the 8 piece starting at I believe CHF19.20. The gift boxes cost a little more, and I got an 8 piece for around CHF25. Wanting to cleanse my palette of the McCafe macaron experience, i also decided to purchase a single salted caramel macaron for myself, but the lady behind the counter kindly offered it for free. Which really was kind of her, considering that each of those little things cost CHF2.40. Verdict: macarons are hugely overrated. Clearly, my Laduree macaron was exponentially more delicious than my McCafe one. And considering the McCafe macaron was also CHF1.90, Laduree's price isn't per se unreasonable. Nonetheless, CHF2.40 for a little cake sandwich roughly 1 inch in diameter? I can think of plenty other places where I can better expend my sugar intake.

My first meal in Geneva, but not super impressed. First thing's first, seat yourself, don't wait…read morefor them. I had two of the crab sandwiches, which were fine but nothing to write home about. They're basically little tea sandwiches on white bread filled with crab salad and alfalfa sprouts. I'm probably an idiot because I ordered the "the froid citron" expecting something homemade but got a bottle of nestea. For 4.60 francs. *sigh* My husband's croque monsieur and salad were fairly tasty. They spoke a little English, which helped us with our rusty French. But all in all, I wouldn't walk a mile again to come back here for their lunch. But I'd consider it to try something from their wide array of desserts, purely based on looks.

Was only in Geneva for two days - Sunday and Monday. Was pleased to see this chocolaterie was open…read moreeven though it was Sunday, as most things are closed. (Museums are closed Mondays). Had to get a taste of this famous swiss chocolate! There are many different types of chocolate bars (fairly large) for 11+ Swiss Francs, but interesting because the cacao is from different countries all over the world. There is also a small selection of pastries and ice cream. Our worker was very nice. Accepts payment in Swiss Francs and Euros with contactless payment. We even got a sample of that day's special: toffee with almond in chocolate. --------- J'étais en Genève pendant deux jours, samedi et dimanche. J'ai voulu du chocolat suisse. Des autres chocolatiers étaient fermées les dimanches. Il y a beaucoup de types de tablettes de chocolat (assez grandes) pour plus de 11 CHP, mais le cacao provient de différents pays du monde entier. Il y a aussi une petite sélection de pâtisseries et de glaces. Notre ouvrier était très gentil. On peut payer en francs suisses ou en euros avec paiement sans contact. Nous avons même eu droit à un échantillon du plat du jour.

We are reviewing this location: Rue du Rhône 17, 1204 Genève, Switzerland…read more We experienced terrible customer service here from Tyna. Tyna was super rude and did not explain the chocolates to us despite us asking. Tyna then asked us to leave our table and said save it for customers with drinks, despite the empty store. Tyna yelled at us for not closing the door behind us and was passive aggressive the entire time. Would not come here if I were you. Do not recommend this place. Chocolates looked average at best and were OPEN, not even in closed containers. I wonder how long they have been sitting out with people coughing on them. How yucky and unsanitary. Tyna also pushed us right out the door the second we received our chocolates. Seemed very annoyed the entire time. Unfriendly and rude Tyna.

We stopped here the other day for a quick dessert before stopping on the train…read more All in all, I really like this place. They have a large variety of options that can really please a lot of people. Great chocolate options and fruit tarts as well. I ended up getting a praline croissant that tasted like they had just made it fresh from a bakery. It was sinfully scrumptious. The only thing I would recommend that they do to improve their croissants and other dishes are to make them pack better for transport.

Well, at least they know how to make macarons…read more Those were my thoughts as I ate the rose and orange macarons. A few minutes back the server had rolled her eyes as I changed my mind on the macaron selection, but I won't hold the service broadly at fault for the prior evening I'd been helped out patiently by a server with fluent command over English - rarity when that happens, and a quality I'm always grateful for in foreign lands. There's a broad selection of breads and baked goods, and while I liked the croissants and quiches, I rank them far higher as a patisserie. I really liked the Noisettine (hazelnut chocolate biscuit with milk chocolate mousse) that was recommended highly by the server. Also interesting was the Valencia (spiced biscuit with orange and chocolate mousse layers and dark chocolate). A Pougnier would be the one shop in Cornavin Geneva I'd repeatedly return to. They are a top notch bakery (4.5 stars)

Best macarons I ever had in my life! Very cute mom and pop chocolatier and we almost skipped it…read morebecause we bought some macarons from a place 2 stores down. ( don't make that mistake) We bought a small bag of macarons from a sweet lady and let me tell you they were so unbelievably flavorful. It was so flavorful, soft and light on the inside and crisp on the outside. We came back the next day and bought a small box to eat during our short stay in Chamonix from this sweet older gentleman. Then came back on our last day, and the sweet guy who I think owns the store chuckled at us for being back so often. Anyway we bought even more macarons for ourselves and another box for a friend's bday gift. We also bought all our chocolate souvenirs for our friends and family from them. Don't miss it!
