Cosy place, good assortment of teas (though almost all of them are flavoured ones), service not really friendly (but not even that rude). Must try: scones with crème fouettée and jam.

absolutely great ! the decor is fab, great choice of teas, good choice of cakes! lovely for an afternoom tea!

Very very nice scones!

We went there on a Saturday morning and I have to say I liked it. The choice of tea is huge and the hot chocolat is rather a lot for the price (especially in Geneva!). It's a cosy place in the old town and a nice contrast to other over-styled places. The service was ok, not great but not bad either. As it says on the door: pushchairs are not allowed which is clear as the place is not really spacious. But if you don't have kids and prefer a cosy place over a crammed and loud restaurant, you will like it.

no stars DO NOT TAKE CHILDREN they don't like them here !!
The woman hovered over us in case my son touched something!
Insufferably rude !! Horrible staff.

This is potentially a really cosy little tea spot but as mentioned the service is APPALLING. So rude and unfriendly.

"Charming, warm and inviting. The tea is well-served and the chocolate cake is divine. The perfect place to relax and unwind with close friends."

"They ask me to leave my baby carriage outside, i was definitly not welcome and baby too!awful service"

"BAD SERVICE. There's an old lady who is the rudest and most arrogant waitress in Geneva! Tea and breakfast are great, but were sort of ruined"

"The place is charming and a welcomed break from other styles of cafes in the area. The food options are fine for a tea break, and seating comfortable. I prefer the window area at the front for light. I found the service to be fine - not particularly friendly, but sufficiently polite. Overall, worth a visit."

"Bad service can spoil even the best tea and the sweetest interior design. I went there once in the afternoon-very nice, smiling waiters and my impression was great. Unfortunately, I was unlucky enough to come back there another day at around 11am and... I've met the least polite and the most arrogant waitress in my whole life! the worst thing is she seems to be the manager or even the owner.... and she behaved in a similar way to everyone... I wonder if anyone has ever had the same experience or if it was only my bad luck..."

La Theiere qui rit has really gone downhill in the last couple of years and lost a lot of the charm and cosiness that it used to have... The service is not as nice either. It's a shame because it is a great location.

"Tea-lovers, this is for you: the laughing teapot is a small caf? in the old town, serving a good selection of teas (but have coffee as well), scones and cakes as well as lunch. Nice pastel decoration, soft music, lots of newspapers and magazines to read. My preferred place for a rainy afternoon!"
