Corde Coffee Geneva

A coffee community in Geneva

"Corde Coffee in Geneva is a top spot for serious coffee lovers, with great brews, famous cakes, vegan options, and cool workshops in a warm community space."

With two branches in Geneva city — one near the train station and the other one at Eaux-Vives, Corde Coffee is beloved by us. It is not just a really nice cafe, but also a community space that hosts events and has friendly people who are ready to share their knowledge.

Corde is among the best places in Geneva if you are serious about coffee. From multiple options for your espresso to a range of products if you are looking to refill your stash at home, Corde is the place to go! They also have a range of breakfast items, and their cakes are famous in Geneva for being among the best.

My go-to items at Corde are hazelnut latte, mocha, and carrot cake. There are plenty of vegan items also to choose from.

Apart from the excellent food and service, Corde also hosts latte art, brewing, and roasting workshops regularly for those interested, and also teams up with other similar businesses to host food talks featuring chefs. How cool is that? If you are looking to satisfy your coffee buds, but also want to gift someone you love a coffee-brewing class, you know where to go!
