I'm not a coffee/tea drinker, but it's a great place to meet and hang out. Very relaxed. Nice music. Lots of room and it feels a bit like a 'Friends' coffee shop, without being too New York.

They also have *free* Wi-Fi! Check your receipt for the password.

This is where I currently offer my free one-hour IT sessions every Monday.

I give it 4 stars because they don't have much to offer non-coffee/tea drinkers. They have Coke Zero, but not good ol' fashioned Coke. They have bubbly water, but not still.

And, their wireless has been a bit hit-or-miss for a week or so. (Yes, I told them I could solve their problem, but they haven't come to me, yet.)

Excellent coffee - brewed with the skills and passion of Baristas. This is the real thing.

In terms of Atmosphere this is so far my favorite place.
Very good place to come and chill with a friend, they have sofas, and it is well located.

The coffee is very good and they have a good selection of biscuity things and chocs to go with it. The staff is also very pleasant. It is open on Sundays, so can be a bit crowded and loud then.

The only main downside is that the tea is quite bad.

Very nice calm place.

I walked into Starbucks and walked out. I walked into Boreal and walked out hours later, it's a process I continuously repeat. The combination of good coffee, good food, good prices and a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing environment makes Boreal the go to spot for me when I need to sit peacefully and study.

Very good coffee there, better value than Starbucks. Try their carrot cake, it's really good!

Great for coffee lovers considering all the coffees served have their milk shaped like a heart on top! With lower prices than Starbucks, the soft sofas and cosy atmosphere is perfect!

Great coffee and tea, nice ambiance, very good service. Nice little terrace in back during the warmer times of the year. I took a friend there earlier this week and she loved it as well.

Great staff, great coffee and great food, the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Love this place..

By far the best coffee shop in Geneva. Great food for lunch as well. The only downside is more and more people are finding the place (it's a little off any main street) and it's getting busy. I'm there almost every other day that I'm in Geneva.

best coffee in Geneve !

The first time I had a cafe latte from Boreal was a turning point for my life in Geneva. Finally excellent coffee in the city, great friendly owners who take great care in every step of the coffee making process, and a perfect place to chill with friends, read, study etc etc etc. Check out their tartines-a-go-go on the weekends:)

"Boreal Coffee is finally an alternative to Starbucks in Geneva. Great decor, non-smoking, and owners who take pride in the coffee they serve. They make wonderful soy lattes with foam that supports a beautiful design. I hope they open more!"
