Confiserie Martel

Amazing place, great cosy vibe, loved it. Great place to use wifi, eat divine Swiss chocolate and the staff are very friendly. Could spend hours there

This place is amazing.
Is it the best chocolate shop in Geneva or even Carouge?
I couldn’t tell you.
There is an awful lot of awesome chocolate in Switzerland.
However — this place gave me one orgasmic thrill after another …
which is not what usually happens when I go to a restaurant — even a dessert restaurant.
Non-​stop rock your socks off pleasure tends to make me want to come back to a place.
:.)
The place is quaint cute and charming — but there is plenty of that in Switzerland if you look for it.
For me — above and beyond the normal «every piece of candy makes me want to die and go to heaven» business …
there is the question of the hot chocolate — i.e. cocoa — i.e. chocolate brewed up in hot milk.
i have had many impressive hot chocolate drinks in my time — from the «pure hot fudge sauce» that they serve as hot chocolate in barcelona — to the submarinos (melted chocolate bars in milk) that they do in argentina and france.
as little kid amazing as those drinks are — the Martel hot chocolate is one special kind of beverage.
there is almost no sugar in the Martel hot chocolate.
So you get just the flavor of very very good swiss milk.
(and swiss milk really is superior. it is the milk quality that is the secret behind swiss chocolate).
PLUS the flavor of pure cacao — almost like eating an 85% chocolate bar.
This is a mature serious cup of hot chocolate — more like drinking a wine than having a cocoa.
I loved every nanosecond of it.
And yes — the chocolate candies are totally addictive as well.
The place is mobbed by locals and rightfully so.
It is a wonderful place.

stopped here for a coffee and a treat… the coffee is very good, served with a piece of chocolate, how I like it! The baked goods are diving here, but this time I ordered a fromage quiche instead, very good. Wait staff is friendly and the place is clean and cozy. Its open on Sundays which is very nice since most places are closed on Sundays.
