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.

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!

This establishment should be rated MUCH higher. The macarons here are spectacular! Each flavor…read moreexcept apricot are vibrant and fun. The texture of the cookie is perfect. You can taste pieces of strawberry in the fraise cookie and savory the richness of the chocolate in the choclat one. The croissants here are an amazing value and probably the best I've had. The bread filled with chocolate and cream is a great breakfast sweet wake up. You really can't go wrong here in pricing or flavors. The staff is fun and speaks English, French, and German as far as I know. This place does get busy around brunch time so be aware. You can eat here on an outdoor table or inside in the back rooms. There is a restroom available.

The croissant itself did not disappoint- flaky and fresh- it hit the spot.

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.

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.
