Their espresso is very smooth and balanced, and they whip up a cappuccino that is light, yet satisfying. The indoor space is a great place to relax or get some work done, but I absolutely love the courtyard outback. It is very relaxing to sit out there with a delicious cup of coffee and enjoy the weather. Do yourself a favour and visit while the weather is still pleasant. On the other hand, COVID permitting, I can see myself enjoying a warm cup indoors during winter. In any case, Boreal make a great cup of coffee with friendly service.

It gets a little busy at times but with the location being close to the lake, right by the bus stop and a short walk to the train, it's a great little place to grab a bite and relax. The staff are nice and courteous, they speak some English which is a bonus! I prefer this over Cartier which is also nearby.

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. It was quite busy in the AM but the staff were friendly, helpful & got us our drinks quickly. Coffee is definitely a little on the weaker side so go for the extra shot!

Being cheap and non-European, I didn't have access to the 2 free hours of WiFi that you get for receiving an SMS code on your phone. I wandered around the airport looking free hotspots and Goodie saved my life. I was able to contact the manfriend to let him know that I was not dead, get all my lives on Candy Crush, browse for a cool cafe to check out in Geneva...basically become a human again. While I didn't try the food (mostly because they weren't open and partly because I didn't have any Swiss Francs), the food looked delicious and healthy and probably wouldn't taste like cardboard. Also, the ladies that ran the place came to work a full 1.5 hours before opening to set up. That's dedication.

I've had better coffee. The place is bright, a few locals and the ambiance relaxed. Towards the back of the café there are several doors open to other rooms, looks like storage areas; this definitely takes away from the ambiance. The path to the bathroom is like in a Victorian age motif... looks out of place. While it's not a run down spot at all, it does feel a little tossed together. It was good to check out, but not enough here to bring me back.
