Geneva City Guide – Chou

11/10/2017 By Claire 14 Comments

Today, I would like to talk about a cute coffee shop based in Geneva.

The place

Chou is not situated right in the city centre but a little bit further away. Meaning there is less noise and less stress, something I really appreciate. You will find this place in the Eaux-Vives area, next to the beautiful Parc de la Grange. The interior of the coffee shop is sober and elegant, and rather small, but not in an unpleasant way, rather in a cute and cosy kind of way. Perfect for going by yourself or with a friend. If by any chance you happen to take a walk in that part of town, do not hesitate to try out this place.

The food

At Chou, you will find mostly choux. But what is that? It is basically a piece of French patisserie made with the same dough that is used for éclairs. Aside from that, you will also find coffee and savoury eclairs. Yes, you read well, and they are amazing! The coffee is also really good, and you can taste that the coffee beans have been chosen with care. Passionate people do great work. Chou is yet another example of that.

In one word

Chou is such a cute coffee shop. Perfect for giving yourself a treat and relaxing a little bit. Personnally, I find it awesome to have so many different choux flavours to choose from. And one has to admit that offering savoury eclairs is really something original. You cannot find that anywhere else in town, so if you ever crave for it, then run to this coffee shop. And finally, I would like to thank the staff working there, who are incredibly welcoming and kind. I say that all the time, in all our lifestyle articles: kind people can make your day. That is very important. And we had a lovely time chatting about choux, filter coffee or even about the must-visits in Japan with the owner.

***

Aujourd’hui, j’aimerais vous présenter un adorable coffee shop situé aux Eaux-Vives, à Genève.

Le lieu

Situé dans le quartier des Eaux-Vives, près du Parc de la Grange, Chou est loin du bruit et du stress du centre ville. Le café en lui-même a un style qui me plaît beaucoup, sobre et élégant. Le lieu est relativement petit, mais est très mignon et convient parfaitement pour aller boire un café seul.e ou avec un ami. Si vous faites une promenade au bord du lac, je vous encourage à faire un petit détour par ce café.

Le repas

Des choux. Des éclairs salés. Du café. Encore des choux. Voilà ce qui vous attend dans ce chaleureux coffee shop. Il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour passer un bon moment. En général, je me méfie de ce type de dessert. C’est un délice pouvant vite devenir écœurant si la qualité ne suit pas. Mais ici, n’ayez crainte! La pâte à chou est l’une des spécialités du pâtissier. Il en va de même pour le café, dont le parfum est très prononcé et subtil à la fois. Les gens passionnés font du bon travail. Chou en est un exemple de plus.

En un mot

Chou est un superbe coffee shop, c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire. Un tel endroit est parfait pour se détendre et se faire plaisir. Personnellement, je trouve très agréable d’avoir un large choix de choux aux parfums originaux. En plus, il faut bien admettre qu’il est extrêmement original de proposer des éclairs salés. C’est quelque chose qu’on ne trouve nulle part d’autre à Genève. Rien que pour ça, je vous suggère d’y faire un tour. Finalement, j’aimerais remercier le staff du café pour l’accueil très chaleureux. Je le dis souvent dans mes articles lifestyle, je pense que l’accueil du personnel joue un très grand rôle dans l’expérience que l’on a d’un endroit. Autant dire qu’ici, nous avons passé un excellent moment à discuter avec le propriétaire de choux, de café filtre et même de voyage au Japon.
