Welcome to Les petites artisanes, a delightful café nestled in the heart of Geneva at Rue Micheli-du-Crest 18. It’s a charming spot where fresh ingredients meld with artisan techniques to create a cozy haven for food lovers. If you’re in search of delectable pastries and high-quality coffee, look no further.
This café has earned a reputation for its freshly baked goods, and it’s easy to see why. Customers rave about the croissants that arrive directly from the oven to your hands, showcasing an irresistible flakiness and rich buttery flavor. The pain Suisse and the heavenly pain au chocolat are also crowd favorites, each bite a testament to the café's commitment to excellence.

Popular dishes include a unique take on avocado toast that is sure to draw in millennials and breakfast aficionados alike.

It is this attention to detail that sets this establishment apart.
For those keen on a lighter bite or a sweet treat, the cookies—particularly the raspberry-topped variant—have earned high praise. Their crunchy texture paired with rich flavors create an exquisite pairing, especially when enjoyed alongside a well-prepared ristretto.
With limited table service, ordering and picking up your treats adds a touch of authenticity to the experience. You can choose to sit outside on the quaint terrace or find a cozy spot inside, ensuring you can enjoy your coffee and pastry while soaking in the atmosphere of Geneva.

We had a croissant nature and a pain Suisse. The pastries are freshly baked and you can definitely tell: the croissant arrived from the baking tray just as I was placing my order. They’re very flaky (on par with 21st century dating) and rich in buttery goodness. The chocolate used is clearly of a high quality. As for the coffee, nothing to say here except that the flat white was really good, with the right coffee-to-milk ratio. The place also offers small breakfast dishes such as their version of an avocado toast (millennials welcome). There is no table service, so you order and pick up your order, at the cashier. There are two seating options: one on the sidewalk (recommended) and one inside at the back.

A safe choice for a breakfast, brunch or coffee catch-up with friends. Their pastries are divine, especially their Pain au Chocolat. Yummy savory toasts for lunch. Very cute terrace for sunny spring or summer days. Attentive and friendly service. Excellent specialty coffee. Breakfast served all day, which is very rare in Geneva!

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the tea room Les petites artisanes in Geneva. This is a lovely bakery just a couple of minutes’ walk from the Geneva University Hospital, and it’s especially known for its cookies with different toppings. I tried the raspberry one, which combines raspberry jam and other raspberry-based preparations. Both the cookie dough itself, its crunch, and the raspberry topping were truly delicious. I had it with a ristretto that was perfectly good. Service is quick and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable. There’s a small terrace on a rather busy street leading to the hospital, but it’s still a nice spot to enjoy good weather. They serve everything on a small tray, which you bring back inside once you’ve finished. A great place for a quick snack or light bite if you happen to be near the hospital.

We went there three times during our vacation. I honestly wish I could take everything home with me — it was all so delicious. For me, it’s an absolute must when you are in Geneva.
