Delicious! - Edit
The food here is exceptional! High quality, healthy ingredients are used to create delicious and visually beautiful dishes. We ordered the pad thai salad, the burger and a raw carrot cake to share - all of which were incredible. We washed them down with a matcha and chai latte. The only reason I knocked a star off is because they seemed to be short staffed when we visited (on a Sunday) and the place was packed. They ran out of cutlery and cups as they couldn't get them washed quickly enough. As a result , we were given paper cups and we had to wait for cutlery before we could eat! It also meant that the environment wasn't very relaxing. Perhaps a mid week visit would be more pleasant. Price is also steep.. it came to 74 CHF in total, but everywhere is expensive in Geneva, and at least the price is relatively justified by the quality of the food.

I will miss this place 😭 - Edit
As they are closing down for good, we enjoyed one last time their amazing food. I have many memories in this place... celebrating my wedding, my birthdays, my friends... the food is colorful and so tasty, the staff always so nice, and the atmosphere very cosy. I really want to thank the Alive team for the love they spread through their food. You will be missed 💙

Good but pricey - Edit
While the food is undeniably tasty, the prices don’t quite match up with the overall experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a pleasant spot to unwind, but be prepared for when the bill arrives. If you’re willing to splurge for the ambiance, it’s worth a visit, but keep in mind there are more budget-friendly options available for similar quality imo.

The best of Geneva! - Edit
An exceptional health conscious vegan cafe. It provides creative dishes with fresh, high-quality ingredients and superfoods present in most of them. The raw foods, desserts and pastries options are also excellent. I love the quality of the coffee and the wide range of cappuccino and latte options they offer.

Beautiful dishes - Edit
Avocado toast was beautifully presented and delicious, so was the pad thai salad. Massive cappuccios. I don't know why anyone in Geneva would eat anywhere else!

Great Sunday brunch - Edit
I had the brunch plate, which came with a bowl of bulgur with vegetables and a savory galette stuffed with tofu scramble. For dessert, the plate comes with a chocolate-caramel mousse. The only thing they don’t do well is drinks. My giant cappuccino was highly diluted and I heard the table next to mine complaint about their coffee and their matcha latte. They have a case with prepared food that looks really great

Friendly, quiet atmosphere & high quality - Edit
Friendly atmosphere (yoga place) with around fourty seats inside. Easy to reach by inner city bus. Very tasty cookies & warm meals (just a few) and of course expensive (Geneva prices). Very high quality; food looks nice on the plate, too. Visibly clean place.

Nice place but flavours could have been a lot more interesting - Edit
The food looked good but tbh, the flavours could have been a lot more interesting. It all tasted a bit bland. Golden milk & hot chocolate were good. We were surprised to see a no dogs allowed sign on the door of a vegan restaurant. Switzerland is very dog friendly so this was a surprise. (Our dog was allowed in after a little negotiation.)

Nice but expensive - Edit
Was looking forward to trying this place as my vegetarian brother and his omni girlfriend raved about it. It was nice but I think we got there a bit late as the options were pretty limited. I had the avocado on toast and the others had the burger. It was all nice enough but it’s not somewhere I’d necessarily recommend. Also it was very expensive…but then I suppose everywhere in Geneva is expensive in comparison to most other places!

Best vegan lunch spot in GVA - Edit
The food was truly delicious, i am a regular visitor - great spot for non-vegan friends/ colleagues, as the meals are very savoury, not plain at all

Small menu+portions - Edit
Came with a huge appetite and was surprised the menu had no decent breakfast offerings.
Read moreBetween two, we ordered a chai latte, banana bread, avocado toast and pain au chocolat. Everything was very nice but portions were so small for the price. We had to pass by a nearby migros to continue our breakfast 🤣. Between everything, the latte was the largest and came in a decent mug.
Pros: Nice flavors
Cons: Expensive , Small portions, Small menu

yummy cake and okay coffee - Edit
Stopped by for a quick coffee and slice of gluten free apple cake. The space was bustling. The cake was good, almost like a raw cake and the coffee portion was huge. Has options for juices, variety of drinks, brunch (meals), other baked goods, and more.

Nice desserts, average coffee. - Edit
Had only desserts and coffee, but all looks good. Café latté is huge. Espresso is standard, definitely nothing fancy, but not bad. We had two tiny desserts, both good. Now I know it is Geneva, but tiny dessert for 9...it is pricey. But with the ridiculously low amount of vegan places around, it is a good deal. And on the plus side, staff were super nice and the place is cute. Give it a try

Great vibe but food is average - Edit
A pretty expensive place - expect to leave 60-80 euros for two people (two meals plus drinks and a desert). Nice vibe overall but, honestly, expected more from food. It looks great and tastes good but just nothing special and feels like it lacks spices. But you can hardly find anything better in Geneva so I guess by default that makes it the best vegan place👌

Try 'Gives a Fork' next time, arguably the best one in town at the moment, definitely better than this
