best coffee in Geneva and Zurich?

[Captain Falkenberg]

I will be in Switzerland next week... if anyone knows where I can find excellent coffee in Geneva or Zurich, please let me know.

Can one get a flat white coffee anywhere in either city?

Compared to North America, the coffee is generally decent to good at most places here in Geneva. Flat white coffee is an easy score. I like having a coffee at Globus on Place du Molard. It's a good spot to people watch, plus they serve their coffee with a chocolate truffle.

Unfortunately, I found the coffee in Switzerland to be terrible. Generally the coffee machines used are the type that create the coffee drink instantly- including the milk. This is even the case in the more celebrated cafes eg the attached photo shows a cappuccino from Konditorei Cafe Schober. Admittedly the photo does not show that the coffee is not very nice.

I am happy to be rudely contradicted on this issue- after all I would like to know where to get good coffee in Switzerland.

I can second an earlier post on Geneva dining- the pizza at Espresso Club, 25 rue des Paquis is very good.

I had a vegetarian club sandwich at Mont Cervin Palace Hotel in Zermatt which was exceptionally good [photo attached].

The savoury pastries and chocolates at Sprungli in Zurich are very nice indeed

too late for me... but I have found out about a cafe in Geneva that I would have liked to have visited- may be of value to someone looking at this thread

Boreal Coffee Shop, rue du Stand, 60
