Upstairs has a selection of greeting cards and other Hallmark-like selections, and downstairs is full of delights for the hard-core pen/paper fanatic.

This Fust location has two levels and two different entrances, which can be a bit confusing. The…read morestreet level entrance is located across the street from the main train station entrance, or the basement entrance is located outside the entrance to the Metro underground shopping area for the Geneva train station. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and seems a bit outdated and dirty even, but it is jam packed with items, which can sometimes be hard to locate due to the amount of items stuffed into a small area. You will find all types of electronics and home equipment here. I have often come here at the last minute quickly for computer items like USB sticks and computer mice. I have been to other Fust locations that were better organised and laid out. Plus, a problem I have had here is that there doesn't ever seem to be anyone to help answer questions in the basement level. Whenever I finally do get someone, they have been helpful and friendly, it just always required a bit of a wait.

The collection at this store is incredible--the books are beautiful, rare, and indeed very special,…read morehowever, the customer service is not. I am from Texas, came to Geneva on vacation and collect antique books from stores like this all over the world and I've never been more uncomfortable in a store before. The person working in the store followed me the entire time, standing behind me, readjusting every section I touched making me feel really observed and the store is already small so this made it feel like I really couldn't move and made me especially uncomfortable looking through items. Any time I even remotely came close to an area that had a "do not touch" sign the workers would stand up and peer over the desk to look at me from across the store. Ultimately I didn't even buy anything because I felt to scared to touch anything and too much pressure from being watched. I give this place 3 stars purely for the collection because it is a really admirable one and a unique place, but if you're a shopper that doesn't like being watched by employees this isn't the place for you.

I wish we had a Manor in the US. All in one department store with Restaurant/Cafe, Grocery Store,…read moreDepartment Store, and CHOCOLATE area. 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.

I visited this place quite some times when living in Annecy and never left without buying something - and neither without paying almost nothing. It's not the easiest to reach without a car - it takes about half an hour (or a little more if it's warm) by foot from the center of Annecy - which also isn't veeeeryyyyyy practical when you buy stuff. But still: so worth it.

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.
