About Café Calico
Coffee expertise, served without the attitude.
Café Calico opened in Geneva in 2022 with a quality-first mission: pay close attention to everything that shapes the cup, then welcome people warmly.
The place
Rue Rousseau puts Calico in Saint-Gervais, within easy reach of Cornavin and the centre of Geneva.
The welcome
Friendly, knowledgeable service is one of the most consistent themes in public customer feedback.
Sourcing
Local where it matters. Specialist where it counts.
Milk comes from the canton of Geneva. Coffee is roasted with Henauer in Höri, Zürich. Behind the bar, a SLAYER Steam LP3 and Brita Purity filtration support the work.
Warm
A genuine welcome, whether you stay or take your coffee with you.
Precise
Care for the coffee, water, milk and every step behind the bar.
Curious
Rotating origins, different brew methods and room to discover something new.
