Rainy days

Okay, so in Geneva we can have a few rainy days… and the question is always the same: what can we do then?

Here are some suggestions to enjoy those rainy moments!


Coffee time!

Enjoy one of Geneva's beautiful coffee shops! These are a list of our favourite places to use for rainy emergencies!


Coup de girafe
Rue du Maunoir 18 (Eaux-Vives)
Really cute coffee shop, also great for brunch, lunch or dinner, specialized in quiches, salads and for tea time… delicious teas, chocolates and amazing cakes and pies! You must try their chocolate cake and lemon pie. Incredible!!!



La sixième heure
Place des Philosophes 6 (Plainpalais)
Delicious coffee shop with great teas and pies to warm up on a rainy day and catch up with friends!



Le cottage
Rue Adhémar-Fabri 7 (Quai du Mont-Blanc)
This place can't really get any cozier! Right next to the lake, with books and magazines all around, it is the perfect place to drop by for a tarte tatin and see the rain fall down from its windows. A must in Geneva!



Les enfants terribles
Rue Prévost-Martin 24 (Augustins)
My favourite place to crash! This beautiful coffee shop has a an amazing furniture and deco store within, where you can walk around just for the pleasure of seeing beautiful things! It always has a good price food bar where you can just grab what you feel like for great prices. The waiters will come to offer you drinks! They also have live musics some Thursdays. Check it out!



La théière qui rit
Rue de la Cité 15 (Old Town)
Here you will find dozens of different teas served in beautiful teapots, delicious scones and pies, and the best hot chocolate in town! Perfect for a rainy day!
