Only reason for not giving atmosphere 5 stars is that it’s not a place I would bring my husband…😢. Very much a breakfast lunch brunch type of decor…IMO. Went with a friend to check out at dinner time on a Wednesday and they were quite busy with only one server/bartender and one cook. They’re still in the figuring it out stage I felt. That being said our “server/bartender” was Luke and I can’t say enough about his knowledge of the food AND how to “concoct” a “mild on the liqour” drink for me❣️. He nailed it with something I couldn’t make at home but not a strong martini type drink! (Although it was very hard to pass up many of the special ones listed!). My dinner partner is huge on good salads and did say the pears on her goat cheese pear “confit” something did not measure up to her expectations of a firm but sweet pear. Might just be the season? She also was “afraid” of the blue cheese on the very unique bruschetta we ordered. It is mixed with Gorgonzola cheese and went amazingly well with the rest of the ingredients ❤️. We both liked and would order again❣️. I ordered the goat cheese “flatbread” (because I can’t remember the French name they used…lol) and ham drizzled with honey which was delicious👍. Personally I would love the same with bacon instead of little chunks of ham….🤷🏻♀️. Will go back ….soon but for a lunch date or coffee and bakery items! So want to try the almond croissants😋. We did share a dessert that was phenomenal….but was not the “sponge cake” with lemon curd I was expecting. Comes in a glass vessel and not a “shareable” portion. But yes, I would pay the price and have again😋. One last note is I thought we must have really lucked out getting Luke as our server❣️👍. But every review I’ve read mentions a different named server…with ALL positive comments 👍. Kudos to management ❣️. And also to the cook who did a great job on everything that we saw come out of the kitchen! (Don’t let one sour review scare you off! Just know what I said about my spouse who is the type who would probably be turned off by the brightness and comfort of the small tables and “bistro” atmosphere* 👍🤷🏻♀️) * Senior citizen

Loved, loved, loved this place - we had the lobster mac, pate, fries, shrimp tacos, caesar salad, macaroons, tiramisu, lemon chiffon, and some macaroons with tea and coffee. All of it was scrumptious and the atmosphere was delightful and sunny with its orange walls!

Super cute place! Quintessential adorable, small-town USA café. Food was good, service outstanding. But, imo insanely overpriced. $16 fries, $7 coffee, $9 pastry... Not including taxes and tips. A quick pop in brunch cost me $50 😐

Went for lunch on a weekday. It was lively, but not too busy. The burger was tasty and a fair portion. My wife had the veggie pizza/flatbread, which was good as well. My wife had food restrictions, and our server Grace was super helpful in letting her know what dishes were safe for her to try. We forgot to bring activities for our toddler, but Grace took care of that too with crayons and some paper to keep him busy. It was a good experience, and I'd definitely go back to try some other dishes. Grace is an excellent and friendly server!

Bred and vine has been on my list since i found out about them. Coming from a born and raised French girl, this place is legit. Chocolat croissant had the buttery and soft crust that you’d find at a boulangerie. We also had the Moroccan sandwich which was great- we travel far and wide in the city to buy merguez. Rarely will you find a “French cafe” selling anything with merguez so i knew the place was authentic. Anyways, can’t wait to be back!!!

Such a beautiful and tasty spot to bring new energy into Geneva!!
Amazing food, cocktails and service! Stopped here for a late lunch and was so happy with how fresh and delicious everything was. Our waitress, Kara, was just the best and made for a wonderful 21st birthday stop. Don’t skip the cocktails and desserts too! Thank you for such a great time, we will definitely be back soon!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat after a long walk around Geneva. I ordered the quiche which was surprisingly very delicious and tasty. After that I enjoyed a nice class of Saracco Moscato that paired very well with their bread pudding. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family to come in for a relaxing well served meal. The restaurant is amazing and warm welcoming vibe, from the staff and the music that is played.

Highly recommend having an event at The Kate at 318 with delicious catering from Bread and Vine. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. The space is large but still very cosy. All the food was delicious. The prosciutto pinsa was a standout. Big thank you to the wonderful staff and owner!

We’ve tried just about every restaurant in the area and beyond, and this is truly the first time we’ve ever been timed like a relay race waiting for a baton. We arrived around 10:50am, happily looking forward to a relaxed, brunchy breakfast. Confused with the 2 entrances, one at the back and one at the front, we assumed to enter through the front door - it was locked. Fair enough.
As we debated whether to walk away, the manager (or lady in charge - don’t know her name as pleasentries were not exchanged) unlocked the door - only to inform us, rather abruptly, that it was still locked because it wasn’t 11:00 yet. She appeared rushed and uninterested in questions, and not particularly inclined to explain how one is meant to exist inside a restaurant where the back part is open from 8, but the rest of it exactly only at 11, the precise moment of opening. They were literally all standing around, watching the clock! After several attempts, we finally learned we could sit… but only exist, not eat.
Perhaps she had a lot on her plate. Or perhaps this was an American attempt at delivering the classic French “attitude” for an authentic experience. If so - bravo.
Once seated, my wife went up to the back counter and ordered two coffees and a couple slices of cake and was promptly told, “No chai.” No explanation, just a firm declaration. The coffee was either watered down or made from the least enthusiastic beans available to mankind.
We were informed the kitchen opens at exactly 11:00am because that’s when the chef arrives - apparently required for the delicate art of assembling a couple of sandwiches. Not a minute earlier. Precision matters.
My wife ordered the quiche, which was warmed up and impressively bland. My lamb sandwich, however, was genuinely good - credit where it’s due.
I don’t enjoy writing reviews, and I’ve certainly never felt compelled to do so over being treated like a child at a restaurant. In an area overflowing with great food, welcoming people, and restaurants with lines out the door, I’m genuinely surprised by the arrogance of this sterile coffee shop, restaurant wannabe, serving pre-made sandwiches and forgettable cake.
Timing may be everything here - but hospitality, unfortunately, is not.
