Chou Geneva
A local favourite in Geneva's Eaux-vives
If you are looking for a non-crowded cafe around Sunday noon that offers good food and excellent coffee, look no further! Chou on Rue des Eaux-vives is that place where you can spend a lazy Sunday noon, with amazing savoury eclairs with fresh ingredients, a variety of choux and very good coffee.
The minimalist interiors and the friendly baristas make you feel welcome and are helpful with your questions. My favourite pick here is the eclairs with fresh goat cheese, the vanilla choux, and the capuccino praline, which is a softer version of hazelnut capuccino. The smoked salmon eclairs are also very good. The stuffing of the eclairs is fresh and flavourful. They also have a great lineup of teas!
Chou also is a local favourite for coffee enthusiasts as they sell whole and ground coffee beans. If you are looking for a low-key Sunday brunch option and head straight to the beach, this should be your spot.
