    Nice barista made flat white. They have a vegan milk made from pea protein - super yummy. They also sell a range of beans, ground coffee, and coffee products 👍🏼

    Very good coldbrew coffee and hot coffee. We had a very good cold cappuccino and a hot one. Very nice. And also we bought very good coffee beans to make good quality coffee on our holidays. We had some excellent advise. Nice guys.

    We were offered a single origin which we were happy about. But when it was brewed it was really unextracted (17 second shot). As a barista I was quite shocked that he didn’t pull a new shot since that would be considered “unservable” in most specialty cafes. It was really messy behind the bar and the “atmosphere” was not very welcoming. Tables not straight etc. perhaps the blends there are better?

    As a true coffee lover, this is my favorite spot in Geneva if not whole Europe! Perfect coffee, lovely stuff, great ambiance - I'd wish they would come to Hamburg soon!

  • 5/5 Sehaj B. 5 months ago on Google
    The best coffee I’ve tasted across all of Switzerland hands down. The barista definitely knows what he’s doing and clearly is passionate about the product he offers to his customers

    Great little café across from the rainbow crossing. Great service. The barista was very nice. He straight off offered to toast my sandwich, without me asking. Everything also came quite fast. Coffee was good. Quite strong which I love. Well brewed. Food was good too. I had a chicken sandwich and a croissant which were both good. I suspect the croissant to be organic, as the dough had that organic flour kind of taste. Overall, a very nice experience.

    The best coffee I had in Geneva in an unassuming setting. Definitely recommend if coffee is your thing. The croissant is lovely too.

    The flat white is THE dream. My new favourite in Geneva. The perfect coffee stop on the way to the train station.

  • 5/5 Colin W. 10 months ago on Google
    Literally the perfect flat white. This is the best spot if you TRULY love espresso and savor every smooth, delicious sip.

  • 5/5 Gage T. 4 months ago on Google
    Good coffee and great environment. I wish the coffee was a little bit hotter but other than that no complaints

  • 5/5 Fatma A. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Elisabetta W. 11 months ago on Google
    Best coffee I’ve had in ages. Flavourful, non acidic. Excellent service

  • 5/5 Mette 1 year ago on Google
    I'm a former barista and I have spent two year testing coffee places in Geneva. The flat whites on oat milk (6chf) from Calico are like a little warm hug. The service is professional and quick, but not too personal. I recommend this place to everyone.

  • 5/5 Amir S. 11 months ago on Google
    If you are a coffee enthusiast and suffering in Geneva, this is the place to get a proper single origin from a friendly crew.

  • 5/5 André T. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience ! The coffee blends are exquisite and all the other products as well. Warm welcoming from the barista. This place will certainly become my regular coffee spot in Geneva !

  • 5/5 Matan Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee from various origins with special taste Welcoming service that will give you all the extra information you need about your coffee Currently serving only coffee to go, hope they'll get places to sit in the future

  • 5/5 David N. 1 year ago on Google
    Visiting Geneva early in January 2023, I happened to pass by this shop and, on a whim, decided to give it a try – a decision I do not regret, even though I would usually always look to have coffee in a "proper" mug sitting down: The V60, which the gentleman at the counter offered to freshly brew for me, was fabulous (even in a take-away cup), and we had a nice chat about the fledgling specialty coffee scene in Switzerland to boot. I hope to return to a thriving store next time I make it to Geneva – recommended!

  • 5/5 Dan 1 year ago on Google
    Great Coffee, tasty treats and a very friendly owner! Highly recommend to stop by there.

    Tasty coffee and pleasing polite staff

  • 5/5 Carol L. 1 year ago on Google
    Best latte in town. Best coffee I have had since arriving in Europe. The staff are very nice and know their stuff.

  • 5/5 Christian E. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best specialty coffees in town which every coffee aficionado needs to visit when in Geneva. They have a lot of roasts, varieties and processes to choose from with quite some gems. The staff is very friendly and are passionate about the craft of coffee.

  • 5/5 Teresa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Without doubt the best coffee I've had in a very long time. Staff are friendly and helpful. It's a shame I will have to travel to Geneva to get this wonderful coffee again. Well done to the team at Cafe Calico - you know your coffee well

    Great coffee and service! 👍

  • 5/5 Olha P. 1 year ago on Google
    On our way to lunch I saw an amazing apron! My friend in Ukraine is making aprons for restaurants and coffee shops and the one I saw from Calico Cafe staff was close to the ones my friend is making! we dropped by on the way back and the coffee was superb! amazing taste, great flavour and awesome choice (Cartado) I wish the stuff could have a small talk with us in English. it was a bit uncomfortable, but other than this I would definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Manuel H. 1 year ago on Google
