Starbucks

Les Starbucks, qu’ils soient de Genève, Paris, Londres ou Milan, ont tous en commun des cocktails de café infâme et des pâtisseries industrielle immangeable. Même le ristretto est servi froid avec un arrière goût d’amertume tellement les grains de café ont été trop torréfié.
Le thé, en sachet, est aussi à oublier.
Comme l’adresse de cette enseigne.

I thought Starbucks suppose to taste the same in every Country but that’s not the case in Geneva. If you’re going to Charge me almost 10 $ for a latte at least make it taste like one. I went here 4 different times and all my drinks were horrible tasting. I make better cappuccino or lattes at home.
If you’re a Starbucks lover like me save your money and just go to another coffee shop.

The coffees are prohibitively expensive and the toilets are as smelly as public toilets in a train station. However, they serve good old Starbucks with a comfortable place to hang out.

Très bien placé, ce Starbucks regroupe un personnel accueillant et de bonne volonté.
Or, il est connu que cette chaîné américaine est plus que chère…

Sehr höfliches, hilfsbereits Personal — nettes Ambiente.

My favourite café .
Favourite drinks and pastries over there and cozy chair to stay.
Sometimes too crowded and staff overwhelmed.

Open Sunday. That’s why I came. Wifi. Its Starbucks. Decent coffee. Croissants are good.

I am a gold member and die hard Starbucks girl. I was born and raised on Starbucks. I’ve travelled around the world and have never been dissatisfied with their consistent quality product. This is by far the worst CAFE I’ve ever been to. The workers aren’t friendly, they don’t serve half the drinks Starbucks have and the store is dirty. I would honestly rather go across the street to the McDonald’s. DO NOT GO HERE, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.
I ordered a tall passion tea lemonade but they informed me that they were sold out… I came the next day and they said that they don’t serve it with lemonade. I ordered a tall caramel macchiato instead with a bagel to go. They gave me a grande and the bagel on a plate. I told them I need it to go. The barista then rolled her eyes and grabbed the bagel aggressively. I thought wow she must be having a rough day… so when she returned with the bagel in the bag I smiled and said thank you. She then gave me the death state.
NOT ACCEPTABLE. They will not be getting my business for the rest of my stay in geneva.

Great view of the lake, prices are freaking outrageous!

Très bien situé, juste en face de la gare, avec une petite terrasse entourée de rues piétonnes. Sinon pour ceux qui né connaissent pas Starbucks, vaste choix de café, thé, jus de fruits, pâtisserie, salade et sandwich. Petite préférence pour le matcha latte et le cappucino! Le tout avec une atmosphère anglo-​saxon, on aime ou on aime pas, pour ma part, je me prête au jeu!

Starbucks Switzerland is a hip place for students to go to, total opposite from the US. It’s ironic to see the corporate branding differences between countries.
I give a 3-​stars because this is just overpriced for a Coffee like Starbucks. I mean this is a Starbucks, not a Palace. 5.90 CHF for a Tall Latté is just overpriced. I have to say that the taste of Latté is a little bit different in Switzerland. You taste less the burnt roast from Starbucks in Switzerland compared to a Latté in the US. Maybe the Milk? Who knows…
This Starbucks is clean but always busy. It’s still a good place to bring your laptop and enjoy 1hr high-​speed internet, then the speed is reduced automatically.

I love irony.
Against my better logical judgment about spending close to CHF6 ($ 6) on a tall Americano, I dropped by this Starbucks because I find it humorously ironic that it is just next door to what seems to be one of the most famous cafes in Geneva.
I also find it ironic that in a region that makes me feel like a fraud for having sustained a coffee addiction on non-​European coffee, this is the one place where I’ve had to wait in line for a cup of coffee.
The ground floor is tight but they’ve made pretty good use of the upper level, so it’s not too difficult to find a seat if you’re willing to share a table. Coffee is standard Starbucks, baristas are adequately friendly, and speak English very well. They have free wifi, but your bandwidth gets reduced after the first hour.
The only other place I’ve been able to locate to study on weekends is Boreal next to the Stand bus stop. Boreal has better coffee, better atmosphere, and better prices, but that place gets crazy packed with people who park themselves there for HOURS. All things considered, Starbucks is an adequate substitute as long as you’re not looking for an amazing cup of coffee.

I don’t prefer Starbucks even in my hometown of Seattle, but if I were to review Starbucks in Seattle I would give most locations more than one star. It is hard to understand why people would go to Starbucks in Switzerland when you can get MUCH better coffee and pastries/​croissants cheaper in the train station, or at a local boulangerie. I was blown away by how much more things cost here when compared to the states. The only reason why I do visit this store is to meet people. It is a great place to meet up with people as it is located right outside the underground shopping of the Geneva train station. I have met up with people here often. Also, if you want to find a place to sit head upstairs, I didn’t know there was an upstairs for awhile. The upstairs is very open with lots of places to sit. However, it is very noisy, and I am sure during peak hours could be more difficult to find a seat, but I have always managed to get one here. At least this Starbucks is MUCH less busy than the Starbucks on the other side of the Mont Blanc bridge in the Rive area. That Starbucks is PACKED, only one room, and much noisier.

Noisy, pricey, sugary, not-​very-​clean, & impossible to find a seat! A great place if you’re a student who needs a place to «study» and get «free» wi-​fi for 6 hours whilst only paying for one large not-​very-​good coffee! If you really like coffee there are a myriad of better places (and they also offer free wi-​fi but for as long as you are there and not in ridiculous 30-​minute periods) — see my other views for good coffee.
P. S. it is not, as previously stated by another reviewer, the only place in Geneva where you can find American cup-​cakes; they’re everywhere now!

Unfreundlich, langsam, beim Wechselgeld verrechnet. Am besten in einem der Cafés nen anstaendigen Espresso bestellen. Kostet nur ein Bruchteil und kommt nicht im plastikbecher wie bei starbucks obwohl man sagt dass man ihn dort trinken moechte.

un café où l’on y trouve un grand choix de café, que l’on peut emporter dans de très moyen ou grand gobelet en platique, surtout si l’on est pressé!!! ainsi qu’un grand choix de patisserie comme à l’américaine!!! prix d’un café, saveur vanille, chantilly et sauce caramel: 6.8FS, patisserie aux environs de 4FS… sympa, à faire une fois. Dommage qu’il y a enormement de monde, on commande, ils encaissent et on attend qu’ils nous servent directement au bar, et ensuite on s’installe, à l’intérieur ou à l’exterieur…L’attente est un peu longue… Mais à découvrir

Gleich neben dem Hauptbahnhof, ein Starbucks wie jeder Starbucks, dieser mit zwei Etagen. An der Theke kann man nach einem WLAN Key fragen, dann ist WLAN kostenlos, habe ich aber nicht getestet.

This Starbucks is directly opposite Gare Cornavin, and has a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. It is offers free wifi with a purchase and being the closet place to the station that does so. Quiet during most of the day and open till late.

Als Touristen sind wir in Genf gestrandet und waren froh nicht lange suchen zu müssen, sondern recht bald, in der Nähe des Bahnhofs eine vertraute Leuchtreklame zu sehen.
Leider machten wir mit unserem Roasted Chicken Sandwich den totalen Fehlgriff. Hinzu kam, dass wir bereits eine halbe Stunde vor Ladenschluß von unseren Plätzen im oberen Stockwerk vertrieben wurden, weil man bereits sauber machen und schließen wollte (wobei wir nicht mal die einzigen Gäste waren). Insgesamt bleibt ein eher schlechter Eindruck, obwohl der Chai Tea latte grande einiges gerettet hat.
