    I have to admit that the sweets are really good, however the coffee is so terrible that I have to give two stars to the place. Also, the Café Gilles looks elegant, that’s it, but the only thing that goes in accordance with the fancy decor are the prices: it is not a cheap place.

    Something I love about this place are their delicious deserts. This place is located in downtown of Geneva and if you like to taste different kind of appetizer this is the right place.

    Cold coffee and was initially served the flattest pain au chocolat the world has ever seen. When asked if this was normal I was told with a shrug “they’re all like that”. So apparently it’s ok to serve pastries which look like they’ve been stepped on now? Extremely poor. Half-hearted service and was over-charged when I left. This place has definitely had its day by now.

    Used to be lovely. But now has gone downhill and the service is terrible. Maybe it was because I was with a black friend, who was very large or maybe they are just too busy being aggressive to hear what you are saying. We left. Too many nice places on the road to waste time being abused. The food certainly isn’t worth it. And yes, it was here that we had the bad experience. I deleted the posting where you said you only had one employee and posted here because this is the establishment to which I referred ( apparently around the corner) So yes. It was this place Thank you for your clarification

    Maison Desplanches cozy Cafe Bar in the city center. The Entrance is a bit discreet and the street number is not visible. The entrance is same as the UBS bank at the street corner of the busy Bel Air roundabout few steps from Confederation Centre. They have wide varieties of pastries & sandwiches.

    Very well located. Very friendly staff. Yet too expensive for what they offer.

    We had here some dessert after lunch. The large selection of desserts looks very good and the service is very friendly. The quality and taste were really very good. We can recommend that place.
