    New coffee shop in Geneva. With very stylish decor, comfortable chairs and elegant cutlery. They serve old Soviet Union bakery, which for all of ex. Soviet’s - is delicious. Napoleon and Medovik ( Honey cake) is melting in the mouth. As an espresso admirer I would not say it is the best- but it is a scourge of Geneva. There are only few places in Geneva where you can get a real espresso. However, the reason for my three stars is service, rather it’s absence. Another scourge of Geneva. Either you make a self- service coffee shop or provide service, please. The guy next to me has been waiting 20 Minutes before he got his table cleaned!!!! and 10 minutes later he got his tea. Otherwise, you become in a row with all the Geneva cafes where there is no coffee, no service and only cakes remain. And last but not least - your staff looks very exhausted. Either give them a day off or make them smile.

    I ordered a quite popular Chrsitmas version of the number cake, in a form of a X-Mass Tree. Visually cake is absolutely beautiful, one of these cakes that are too nice to be cut. However, taste was a big disappointment. In my opinion it was way too sweet and terribly heavy. Finishing even a small piece of this was was impossible. None of my guests liked it. I haven't tried other cakes or dishes in this bakery, looking at the reviews - they might be better. I speak only about the one cake I ordered. However, after this experience, I don't think I will be ordering any new cakes soon at this place, as the only positive thing I can say about the cake is that it was beautifully done & decorated. Added after the owner reply: The only "customization" requested was swap of one of the topping decoration with more fruits, which has not affected the cake core flavour. Also - my review is not a result of the fact that I asked last minute to get a smaller version of the take, which was not possible. This was not a problem for me at all and I was still happy to get a bigger cake hoping it will be delicious....

    The honey cake and Napoleon are very good - recommended, however, not at all impressed by syrniki (Russian cottage cheese cakes) and other cakes. A good selection of teas. The service was fast, but they forgot what we had ordered twice and after reminding still mixed it up. This place lacks something to be a 5-star, but overall, quite nice, worth dropping by if you miss Russian/Ukrainian cuisine Upd: the last time we stopped by 40 min before closing time the personnel rudely said they only worked for take away and the kitchen was closed. Never greeted us, never smiled, looked annoyed - hence changing my initial evaluation, as the heart of any business are people

    We only get cakes from Christie's. We've had two in the past 6 weeks; one Christmas log, and one cream tea for four people, but prior to those we've had multiple birthday cakes over the past 18 months, for us, our family and friends. It's fair to say that all, and I do mean every single one, have been epicurean masterpieces, always light, creamy, and more-ish as hell. Visually, you can see the love which goes into each cake before you taste it, but the textures, flavours and sweetness of the cake, creams and jams, are always perfectly balanced in every cake we've had, and the flavours are so exactly complimentary. They're also super creative! You can tell whoever makes them is having fun doing it. I didn't know several of the fruits on my daughter's 1st birthday cake, for example, and my wife's pink 35th birthday cake was amazing. Aside from the cakes the café is quite unique; I've had my own birthday tea there. it's a calm environment despite the number of customers around lunchtime, they do a great lunch (quite gourmet, lots of interesting Russian things), and very good coffee, the staff are friendly and professional, and I've never had less than a 5 star experience since I first found the place.

    Positive: I came for a cafe date with a friend, we ordered the honey cake and the carrot cake. Both were delicious and the portions were huge for 2! The waitress who served us well was also friendly and provided water for my dog, as well as a hot water bowl for the baby’s food. Negative: The service. The owner charged us for 2 teas even though we only had one teabag served with a teapot (I told her I was getting one for sharing). However we were charged 11CHF for 2 persons. If you were charging us for two, you should have given us two pots with two tea packets, or a single pot but with a refill. This was not correct and unfair pricing. The owner was not polite. We were yet to fully finish with our tea and she came in to clear the plates. It was not during rush hour, the seats were not full, we had a baby to tend to. so i did not understand her impatience. Maybe she was tired, but overall, we did not felt welcomed in this café by the owner. Will still recommend the place for the food.

    Went to Christie’s for a Sunday brunch with a friend. Although we were more than 15min late, the manager reactivated our reservation, which was nice. The bakery looks cosy and the set up is comfortable. What we ordered: 2 avocado toasts: smoked salmon and poached eggs are extra - too bad. They only gave us 1 extra poached egg for two toasts (CHF 2 for one extra egg).. the avocado was however really good and the salmon felt of good quality. The cream cheese pancakes: good, but nothing special. A piece of the Napoleon cake: the cream was really good, not too sweet and did not feel heavy. 2 fresh juices (they did not have oranges but agreed to put lemon instead) and 2 coffees. Total: CHF 83, too expensive for a brunch in a bakery.

    I like to treat myself and loved ones with cakes from this cafe. Medovik (honey cake) is really good, I’ve never been a fan of this cake, but after trying it in CB I’m now 😄 recently ordered two cakes - Medovik for a party in the office and chocolate cake for my husband’s birthday - which were a great success! Wish you many more years ahead and expansion of the business, and hope the quality won’t change in time! 😊🤗

    Have been ordering their cakes since 2019. Very delicious and not too sweet. Their customised cakes are also very well made, they always deliver according to the photo inspirations I send them. Very reliable, always a pleasure 🙏

    Had the carrot cake and lemon raspberry cake as it was recommended by the staff at the cafe at that time. Amazing cakes! The carrot cake was deliciously moist and crumbly. The lemon raspberry was the clear favourite among our group of 4. Not overpoweringly sweet but delicate yet flavourful and delicious! Will definitely be back for more and with more people!The staff was v friendly and kind.

    The service and coffee were alright, decent. But we had two slices of cakes, both very yummy. Also thankful for free wifi, tourist here appreciates alot!

    I came in this past Sunday and the service, food, environment was excellent! I had delicious borscht, cappuccino, and honey and chocolate cake. My only complaint is the fact some typical English American men who had no regard for the people were whistling so loudly that it disrupted everyone else who was there. We felt badly for the staff who had to deal with who my friends and I nicknamed “The wicked whistler of the west”. I will definitely be back for brunch! thanks again to the manager for taking the time to discuss the menu and the history of the restaurant with us!

    Terrible service. Negative vibes from staff from the moment we arrived, will not be returning purely for this reason. Average coffee, good cakes.

  • 5/5 Clara 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service! We were accommodated even 10 minutes before closing. The service was impeccable and the cake tasted marvelous. Every cake tasted like it was made with passion as it was moist and decadent. Will definitely visit again. Thank you, Christie’s Bakery!

The attention amazing, the cake delicious! Thank you again! If you are thinking between this store and the others around Geneve dont doubt, this is the best! We will come to have a coffee someday because the store looks very comfortable and very nice people at the reception!

    The best experience and the most yummy breakfast/brunch. Not only was everything that we ordered amazingly delicious, but the service was great! We felt like everyone there treated us like good friends. If you go there make sure to order coffee (vegan milk options) from Alex, he is a great guy!

    Christies bakery is not just a place, it’s a spirit! They host different events for numerous clubs and communities, serve slavic cuisine that speaks to our soul, provides charming beautiful ambience and comfort to those who come for a cup of tea and piece of cake. But also Christies Bakery is one of my most trusted and well established partners to Daria Events as a Cake makers! Kudos!

    Super nice service. Ukrainian specialities. Great jot chocolate Be aware that kitchen closes one hour before the closing time (afterwards just drinks and desserts). Usually the place is quite busy so better reserve a table in advance.

    The cake for my daughter's 16th BD party was not only visually stunning but also a true delight to the taste buds. The attention to to details ad quality of ingredient were evident in every bite, making it a highlight of our celebration. Your commitment to delivering both aesthetically pleasing and delicious cakes has truly set you apart.
