It's located a short walk from the Patek Philippe Museum. It's a really small place, with just a few high top bar seating inside and some sidewalk tables outside. Service was friendly and quick.

We started our journey at 10am and my best guess, (gps), was it would be 3 miles to the ritz Carlton and a restaurant called "the living room". Travel time I figured 35 minutes. I was wrong. It took 55 minutes with all the stopping and picture taking. So we arrived to the ritz at 10:55 am. Bad news. Breakfast ends at 11 and lunch starts at 12 we were told. I knew that.lol. No problem. We will just go somewhere else close by. No we can't. Because everyone closes at 11 and opens for lunch at noon. Except this little sandwich shop called Edwards. Much to my surprise the staff was pleasant and the food was great. I had a chicken and avocado wrap, Lorie had a beef burger and our friend had a veggie burger. All were great. We also had sweet potato fries and fresh juice drinks. Again, all very good. Fast food can only get 4 stars in my book but 4 very good stars in this case. Hats off and if we are ever between 11 and 12 again. And HANGRY. Edwards it is.

The two employees were extremely understanding and attentive to our situation and prepared 4 sandwiches, 2 croissants, and 3 coffees within 5 minutes.

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.

A little on the pricey side as well. Known to be a bagel shop, not sure what we were expecting coming here for a quick bite. The smoked salmon was not filling being that there were only a few slices on a fairly dry bread. The burger was underwhelming in the meat patty and the taste of it was just absorbed in the sauce. Typical to be paired with a salad and fries. Smoke salmon sandwich roughly 10 Swiss Francs and the burger around 15 Swiss Francs. A soda was around 5 Swiss Francs. They offer meals for large groups of 10+ and what I think is catering options as well - a little bit of a language barrier there. Indoor and outdoor seating. After ordering, they bring you the items and clean up after you as well which was a nice final touch to the fast food chain.

I love that the space is huge, which is a bit unusual in the EU as most places are small, and had ample room for meetings, working, and hanging out.

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.
